Were pieces ever added to the sprues from when they solicited feedback on possible "blank" sprue space?

Hum. Doesn't seem like the link in first post works anymore. Anybody have picture available? I would be interested in getting necron army one of these days and if these works as suitable proxies good good but I WOULD like to see pictures ;-)

Here's the current sprue:

Neal, they said when they hit 1000 and go to tooling that they would see if anything else could fit.

Maybe someone should send them a pick of a GW sprue so they have an idea on how to do rows of models not quarters? I sense they have a 28mm sprue mindset there.

They have one of my E40k Marine sprues, not sure why they did it the way they did but they're the ones who know their machine.

Well, I know nothing about plastic moulds, but from going on what i remember the spacing to be on Epic sprues and from this sprue and model size there should be space for 5 rows of infantry and one of vehicles (well according to the photoshopped sprue I just made). Course that centre strut is awkward, maybe the equivalent portrait wise is a better bet.

Still there is a lot of spce there, those chaps really should have the softweare like gw to arrange the sprue better.

Models don't look half bad at all though not sure I like the one handed look(or are they wielding pistols?). However definetly more basic guys would be nice. I fear to get enough basic infantry will leave me with tons of specialists :-/ Ah well. Better than nothing that's for sure!

I broke down what you would get formation wise for 5 sprues here:

It'll make for a 2k army.

And in even better news the main web page for this lot now mentions the $1 requirement. Things are still moving forward  :agree:

Wish I had some cash to spare. However once it approaches the 1000 then(assuming no better alternatives for necron have arrived) I'll definitely put in reservations for ~10.

But right now without any idea whether it will come or not(been stuck at 352 for long time it seems...) can't afford to spare even 10$ :-(

Heh, we already hit 1000 a few months back. They upped it to 2k, so though 352 left to go are to 2000.

Communication hasn't been the greatest however, and people apparently didn't realize they need to put the $1 down once 1000 had been reached. He have $900+ at the moment, so a few more people committing will mean they will get tooled up and put into production.

I might suggest that for future runs of this, once they hit 1k that they remove the "say you would buy it page" altogether and replace it with the "$1 pre-order page".

Wasn't that close to 2000 preorders for 0$ but now they need that 1000$(ie 1000 sprues with 1$ paid in front)? Atleast that's what I thought it was. 500 pre-orders without paying for them to start working on developing the design and then 1000$ to get them put in production.

900$ now? Humhum. Guess I need to find cash ASAP then since it's getting close. Argh! Too many models to buy, too little cash. 10 sprues would be good though. Should give me all the infantry I realistically need for up to 4k armies.
