Hi Evil and Chaos
Hi Chivs, welcome to the fleapit!

One of the biggest issues for me though in deciding, is the expandability of the project? What products would follow the plastic boxset, either through stretch goals or later releases?
It depends on the level of funding, but I hope to start introducing some metal models as stretch goals once/if we hit £3500 for the "advanced" version of the core plastic sprue.
Those metal models would include tanks, super-heavy tanks, leaders and other infantry types.
We'd also hope to get some other infantry types onto the plastic sprue.

These look absolutely fantastic. Would these, or anything like these, be upcoming projects or goals depending on the success of your funding project? Presumably there would also be plans for the Hulked Up Aliens to gain some vehicles of their own, or else battles would be rather one sided. I’ve seen the ‘basilisk’ one listed separately later in the thread, and the APC made it onto the initial sprue, but I haven’t seen the main battle tank make a reappearance.
I've scrapped that old MBT design, it's been replaced with the new Churchill-inspired tank design that you
linked to. It's a standard tank in size (3cm long), rather than a super-heavy (5cm+).

Whilst leaders will be designed to the specifications of the larger donations, will leader models be produced in the future?
Yep, there will be leaders for everyone. Those leader pledges are for totally unique sculpts for people to own - only 3 copies will ever be made of each (Unless they want a few more matter printed, come to think of it, that'll be ok and I'd just charge cost-price to make the extras for them, no profit for me).

The beginning of that thread in particular had robed figures, including heavy weapons and leaders. Do they fit into this project in any way? Was that range ever released?
Not yet. They're inline for production relatively soon, I didn't need to go to The Cloud to raise funds for making their mould.

Very slight variety in the poses would also be excellent if possible, as it breaks up the uniformity, but the models (particularly the human infantry) are already great! Is it possible to ‘reflect’ any of the models so that the guns face the other way? This seems like a simple way to add a very visual difference without needing to design new models. I may very well be wrong though; I know less about model design than I do about real world tanks!
We'll be doing everything we can to get as much variety as possible on the sprues. We're cutting the margins as slim as we rationally can so that as much cash as possible gets funneled into expanding what's on offer.

My apologies if I am asking questions that you have already answered, but I couldn’t find them either on this thread or the main funding page.
No problemo. Part of the reason I linked to this thread from the IGG page was so that we could get a dialogue going.

I feel that knowing where the project was ultimately headed would be more of an incentive to contribute. The more information that is available to prospective investors, the better. Regardless though, I do wish you the very best with this initiative, and will be following it daily throughout.
Thanks again for your interest! :-)
). I’ve had half formed plans of entering 6mm gaming (Epic) for a few years, which have always been put off either due to competing projects or pricing issues. Your project looks like an excellent way to start this!
