By my count we have pledges equalling the funding target of US$800. The pledged fundicators are:

TigerShark - $300
beachhead1985 - $50
Feenix74 - $20
The Wayfarer - $30
Sartris - $100
ph423r - $50
Cyc - $50
klarg1 - $50
SteveUK - $20
Firesprocket - $130

I will await speck confirming that he is happy for me to be lead fundicator and that we have met the funding target before I will start sending PMs to the fundicators.

Not in anything published. Perhaps the artist has some of the concept sketches?

Thanks speck.

I will aim to send out a PM with details tonight (Australian Eastern Daylight-Savings Time which is GMT+11) but I cannot guarantee it with my wife working until 1930h AEDST (I will be on preschooler-wrangling duties until late).

PMs sent to Fundicators with instructions on how to paypal the money to B-3 and details that are to be sent back to me to pass onto speck so that IWM Webstore Credit Vouchers can be issued.

Well done friends!

The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.

Cheers and thanks beachhead, it is my honour and a privilege to be able to assist the BT community in a small way.

A quick update, all Fundicators have reported in, almost all Fundicators have reported making payment to B-3 via paypal with the remaining payment expected to be made late this week.

Was anyone able to get in contact with the artist?

He and Stephen Huda are my favorites for modern BT art  O0 I was overjoyed when I saw he did the Dragoon.

That's looking very good. Perhaps it's just the paper next to the metal, but it looks more like a 50-tonner's size profile/scale than a 70-tonner. I think it might be the oversized nature of the Reseen sculpts, though.

So, if you look at the Thor II and the Hammerhands, it looks great.  Something to note, the Thor II is actually more massive (literally heavier) than the Warhammer 8K.  The Thud is oversized, but the Mad cat is significantly smaller than the Thor II and the Wammer. I can promise you, this will feel right when you have it in your own hands.

We've been doing paper stand-ups for a few of the physical sculpts with orthos, the first big one being the new Highlander.  And I think everyone has been pleased with the results thus far.

Yeah, thanks for the printout/comparison photos, Stinger. I swear-- these are priceless for making judgment calls in regard to scale.

I'd say the Hammerhands is a bit undersized for modern standards, but the Dragoon looks quite a bit chunkier for the same height, which might bring it almost perfectly in-line with where it (probably) should be.

I do have one comment on the Orthos: You seem to have the shape spot-on, but, to me, the lines and edges look fairly rounded in the art, but much sharper in the ortho. (Specifically around the lower legs and chest armor.)

Just a FYI, credit will be sent out next week. Been busy with the chaos wars additions to the store last week and also preparing for the Battletech price increase that happens Monday February 15th.
