To the people that ask me about Kickstarter

I've had several people ask me or recomend me to do a Kickstarter, so I thought I would talk about this here.

The truth is I have definitly been thinking about kickstarter and I have been watching kickstarters over the past year or so that have both been successes and ones that have been failures - basicly I've been taking notes and seeing what made certain ones suceed and others fail.

I definitly wouldnt be able to do this kind of project on my own, that's for sure and I would definitly only do a kickstarter if I knew for 100% that I could get people the rewards they pledge for, to do otherwise would feel completely wrong, unfair and I am not the kind of person who wants to cheat people out of their hard earned money! So better to not do it all than do a half assed job of it where I can't fullfill promises. Maybe a year or so down the line I will be in the position to plan for one and have the help to make it work.

Of course hypothetically - if I did use it, I have had various ideas in my head such as using it to fund my Sci-fi web show and have miniatures as rewards, maybe even full size hard plastic Tolathian Puppets the same as the ones i intend to use to film to with myself. I think I can do my miniatures without a KS - but the option could be the potential way to get the funds to film my sci-fi.

If you havent read about my sci-fi web show, it's something I have wanted to do for years now and it does indeed take place in the Primeval Abyssian setting, allthough it is not based around battles and war (that's what the tabletop game is for!) it is more inspired by hard sci-fi writers such as Olaf Stapledon, Robert L Forward, Arthur C Clarke and Hal Clement to name a few. The premise revolves around a Tolathian research outpost in an area of the Ether that is teeming with spacial anomolies that they research. I am working on this project more on the side since it involves so much work (on different frontiers as well).

Anyhow, this is just what has been on my mind with the subject, and I thought I'd share it since people have asked about it and I havent really been able to properly give them an answer, so I hope that clears things up.

Primeval Abyssian - Masters Of Unlife

Here is the WIP "new" Master of Unlife :

The old one felt more like one of the Masters "pets" than a Master itself, so it has been repurposed as as "Guardian" instead.

Primeval Abyssian - A Painted Luuran!

Some people have asked about what some of my models look like painted, while others have said they feel they'd "get" what I'm trying to get across better with some painted examples - so during the sculpting of the Luuran range I was happy to find I had one left that was spare so I've painted it up to show you.

Primeval Abyssian - Rise Of The Luuran!

Here are the luuran units iv been sculpting over the past 5 months :

Chaugniers - Shock-troops of the Luuran. They use reverse engineered technology stolen from the masters of unlife during an Incursion several centuries ago.

Arvatae -  These easily bred flying beasts from the Luuran homeworld are often sent in packs and directed into enemy lines to weaken the enemy as much as possible.

Gyashan : These are high ranking Luuran who are the most trusted servants of the High Seclorums. They are permanently integrated into bio-mechanical thrones. They are held up by two heretics that have been turned into mindless drones and their heads are permenantly biologically attached to the bottom of the throne and their eyes have been torn out and replaced by mouths.

High Seclorum : The High priests of the Luuran and leaders of the Order of the All Seeing Eye. Every Luuran force is lead by one of these zealots. 

Sect Tome keepers : These are the ones that hold the sacred word and carry the ancient tomes of the Order of the all Seeing Eye, they act as chaplains, librarians and more.

A second blog!

I've setup a brand new blog to promote my music : http://prophecydominion.blogspot.co.uk/

For those unfamiliar with my music, I have been creating Electro-Industrial, Metal, Dark-Electro, EBM and various forms of electronic genres and styles under a variety of different names for well over ten years now and I felt it's time to promote that side of me a little. For wargamers - you'll probably find my music is -very- fitting for dark futuristic wargames, or even horror type games! So please go add my new blog !
