History in the making!


The world’s first 15mm - 1/100 scale, Injected plastic, science fiction model kit for tabletop gaming!

4.5" tall (114mm)

This kit has all the features and details of its big brother, fully poseable, featuring quick swap weapon arms for future releases.

This kit comes complete with advanced capacitor coolers and the Excalibur sword option!
 


 
This is not the same 15mm scale kit we made in resin, the resin kits were 5.5” tall and fixed pose. These will be 4.5” tall (a true conversion to 15mm scale) and fully poseable just like their big brother. If there is enough interest (backers) I can release all the weapon options you see for the 28mm kits in this scale and in this Kickstarter project!

Iron-Core is being fast tracked so you will have a game to use both the 15 and 28mm figures in. I would love to see the 15mm scale take off! Iron-Core is a vehicle centric game and 15mm is a better scale for that kind of game, as well as being kinder to the pocket book ;)

If you would like to see all eight factions ranging from gothic to hard sci-fi aesthetics made in plastic model kits, then I ask you to show your support. The more backers we have for the 15mm scale kits, the easier it becomes to justify quickly expanding that range.

 
Thank you for your help!

Another heavy weapon opens up!

One more stretch goal down, and the Nova Cannon will now be a plastic kit!

Did someone ask for more Leviathan weapons?


Weapon Swaps for the Leviathan Crusader and Mortis

These are Kickstarter exclusives and not likely to be released until the variant that uses these weapons are made into complete model kits! If you want them, now is the time to get them, or you may be waiting a very long time for these optional weapons.

 

Restrictions: In order to add these optional arms you must pledge for at least one Leviathan Crusader or Mortis (If the Mortis stretch goal is reached).

These hot swap weapon arms will allow you to instantly customize your Crusader or Mortis, Twist and remove the current arm and slap on one of these beauties! The weapon arm kits will come complete with the armor plating you need for the Crusader (for both Left and right arms)  and you can simply leave the extra armor off for your Mortis kits.

*Some arms are right or left specific, so you will need to specify which arm, left or right hand version you would like when we send out the survey. But why not pledge for a matching set!

 

At $61,000, all contributors who funded a Leviathan kit may pledge an additional $25.00 for a Beowulf/Grendel cannon kit. With this kit you can build one of two variants; the massive Beowulf artillery gun or the powerful Grendel siege gun. You choose which suits you best. *This kit will come with everything you need for a single right or left handed version.

At $65,000, all contributors who funded a Leviathan kit may pledge an additional $25.00 for a Nova Cannon. A massive plasma gun that that turns heavy armor into slag.. *This kit will come with everything you need for a single right or left handed version.

At $70,000, all contributors who funded a Leviathan kit may pledge an additional $25.00 for a Ripper Saw. A monstrous whirling blade that turns fortifications into rubble. *This kit will come with everything you need for a right or left handed version.

At $75,000, all contributors who funded a Leviathan kit may pledge an additional $25.00 for a HEL Cannon. A High Energy Laser with unequaled armor penetration capability. *This kit will come with everything you need for a right or left handed version.

At $85,000, all contributors who funded a Leviathan kit may pledge an additional $25.00 for a Left Hand Mauler Claw. Grapple with other vehicles or let the pneumatic knuckles do your talking.  *This kit will come with everything you need for a Left handed version.

At $95,000, all contributors who funded a Leviathan kit may pledge an additional $25.00 for a Right Hand Mauler Claw. Grapple with other vehicles or let the pneumatic knuckles do your talking.  *This kit will come with everything you need for a Right handed version.

At $100,000, all contributors who funded a Leviathan kit may pledge an additional $25.00 for a Left or Right hand Vulkan cannon. *This kit is right or left hand specific, please note which arm, Left or Right you needed.

Why do I bother....

David over at DWARTIST is at it again.

Makes me wonder why I ever bother to pick up a paintbrush :)

He just started painting up one of the Eisenkern Kreigsmarine.




He is forever painting up something new and interesting.... go give his blog a look and see what I am taking about.

Kickstarter Exclusive!

Wai Kee Hui, the owner of WGF and manufacturer, is as excited about this project as I am. He has graciously offered to produce a Kickstarter special item as a way to say thank you to the supporters. All backers at the $20.00 level or above will receive an exclusive 28mm figure of a Feral Shadokesh and Handler.

 
The Shadokesh are the mortal enemies of the Eisenkern faction. The first human contact with the Shadokesh was made by a delegation from Eisenkern. The Shadokesh met with the human delegation, studied them and when they were satisfied they were of no use to the Shadokesh Empire they were violently dispatched. The Dhar-Hazier were given a similar reception over seven hundred years before. The outcome was quite different, the Shadokesh were forced to re-evaluate the danger this race may pose to the Shadokesh Empire. The Dhar-Hazier have now been at war with the Shadokesh for 753 years.

Crusader at Gencon Video


At about 5:40 but watch the whole thing ;)


Another great bit of coverage fro Gencon!

Stormtrooper Accessory Pack

Here we have the Stormtrooper Accessory Pack.


This pack will allow you to customize your troopers in ways unimaginable with most miniature lines. Let your imagination run wild, build vignettes, dioramas; tell a story with your imagination as the only limit!


If you’re like me, you love the ability to customize your minis so that no two look alike. The combinations you can achieve are staggering. This pack includes multiple arm and hands, heads, weapons, pouches and other accessories of war.


We would also like to introduce you to the Cargo Mule, a semi-autonomous mechanical beast of burden. No longer do you need to tie up valuable fighting forces, hauling supplies, ammunition and light support weapons from one end of a battlefield to the other. The (HHM) Hammer Head Mule is capable of following simple commands such as, follow, return to depot and move to that objective.  The other option is to utilize the (CCM) Central Command Mule, controlled by your command detachment via a coms link routed back to the Communications Officer. This allows your command squad to control the Mule’s mission, freeing your troopers for the fight.

All the best!

Stormtroopers now available on Kickstarter!

We are now offering the Eisenkern Stormtroopers on Kickstarter.
These will be injected styrene plastic models.
So, has anything changed with these figures when compared to the metal minis?


Yes….I reworked the legs, adding a very slight amount of thickness, the helmet is also, just ever so slightly larger with more defined details in the face mask. The backpack is now a separate component and I did some major overhauls on the arm poses, adding the “at the ready” pose for all weapons and tucking the elbow under for the shoulder fired pose to better simulate the modern firing stance. I also added quite a few new leg poses. The old set had seven, including the kneeling. The new set will have twelve poses and an extra set of four kneeling legs that you can choose to use if you desire. There is also a much larger selection of weapon/arm poses to choose from, all in all, some great improvements.
I hope you enjoy the new pledge options!



Sneak Peek


Here we have something I have never posted; this is one of the groups that will be in the (Support Weapons Set) for the Eisenkern Stormtroopers.
I will be sending out teasers like this one fairly frequently so you may want to watch this blog until they are official Kickstarter stretch goals.
