Col.Gravis Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Following on from Brother Loriens suggestion in mustardparty's plog that I posted a new thread about the Anti-Tank Lasercannon which has just gone to Kickstarter to seek funding, I thought this forum was probably the most appropriate place to put it. It's been designed by Kit Burrows, as a multi-part resin kit, with a steampunk influence. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/Forum%20Pictures/atlaserfinal_zps45330afb.jpg You can also see a video 'tour' of the gun, on Youtube, here, The initial design is for a Anti-Tank Lasercannon, but if funding is successful there will be alternative weapons, including a Gatling Cannon, Autocannon and Rocket Launcher. A crew set is also planned. There are more details here, on the kickstarter page, http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/649754189/28mm-steampunk-inspired-heavy-weapons-and-carriage Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273766-anti-tank-lasercannon-carriage-kickstarter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustardParty Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'm a believer, and a backer! I hope you meet your funding goals Gravis, because these are going to look excellent drawn up in support of the 409th!

Col.Gravis Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Thanks for your support mustardParty! I woke up this morning to find that we've reached our initial funding goal overnight, I'm still somewhat stunned to be honest! Next stop, hopefully, is the first of the stretch goals for alternative weapons, first up is the Gatling Cannon, followed by an Autocannon.

Col.Gravis Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Just another quick update, we're starting to preview the stretch goals as we fight to catch up with the overwhelming response, having unexpectedly hit over 400% funding in just four days. I've now posted up the concept sketch of our Gatling Cannon, and an early work in progress render of the Autocannon. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/Forum%20Pictures/36379575308dc4566a73cbf46155f31d_large_zps5f008f8f.png http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/Forum%20Pictures/bd77ce2b37098ee24dd95ae13bd634a9_large_zps4b59c5a4.png The have been a few changes to the pledge levels, with caps introduced, and we've also made the difficult decision to not add further stretch goals until we're ready to deliver on our existing promisses. We'd rather deliver everything on schedule then keeping adding more! That said though, I'm confident we'll catch up ahead of the campaigns conclusion and we have plans to add what we're calling the 'Gatling Mortar', additional crew, accessories, and hopefully more! Once again, thankyou to everyone who has supported us so far!

Col.Gravis Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Some more pics to share! First up are renders of the unlocked Rocket Launcher addition, designed by Faolan and mounted on Kit Burrows carriage, it is inspired by the 19th century Congreve Rocket Launcher. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/Forum%20Pictures/rocketcarriage1_zpsddce6828.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/Forum%20Pictures/rocketcarriage2_zps93907924.jpg We've also added a new extra, a rugged little tractor unit ideal for shifting ammunition, or even towing the artillery pieces with an option hook. Another multi-part resin kit, designed by Faolan, it measure about 5.5cm in length. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/1b567f31587211e8549a871abe93d168_large_zpsa59353a5.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/84832ddaae1f192317097c26c4656610_large_zps2a5a211f.jpg We've also added some new pledge reward options, and I can confirm that the Carriage and Anti-Tank Laser itself has now been printed - this should now be on show at Salute this weekend on the Zinge Industries stand!

Col.Gravis Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 A fairly self explanatory, but exciting, update, here is the printed master of the Anti-Tank Lasercannon. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/Forum%20Pictures/IMG_34321_zps59e2070b.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273766-anti-tank-lasercannon-carriage-kickstarter/#findComment-3357037 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Lorien Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 The wheels, carriadge and gun look awesome, but i said it before...i dont particularly like the gun shield. The gunshield of a brit 6pdr or an US at gun from ww2 would look much nicer, but thats my personal opinion.

librisrouge Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 While the 6 PDR shield is probably more effective, in real life, the gun shield from this set is more '40k' than those so I gotta support this one. I personally can't wait to see how the other weapons turn out.

Ammonius Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 These look great! So great, that I have pledged to get some of these guns into the hands of my renegades! Also, how do I add the mule? Will it be in the end-of-kickstarter survey?

librisrouge Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I just got around to pledging myself. I intend to use them as gun platforms for my Cadians. They look plenty different enough from lascannon teams to be Rapiers imo and I'm thinking that the missile attachment will be perfect for some Thudd Guns. I'll put them on a fancy base and place some sand bags around them. I'm not remotely sure what else I'll do with the other guns but I'll come up with something.

Col.Gravis Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Brother Lorien, yeah your not the only one who has asked for an alternative shield, it is something we'll try an do down the line a bit, but Kit is already working flat out to get the three remaining guns done - he's right in a the middle of a house move as it turns out, something I had'nt realised when we kicked off, my fault entirely! ibrisrouge & Ammonius, thanks for your backing! Yes, the Mule can be added by just pledging the additional amount for the number of Mules you want, so say an extra £14 for one, then when the survey's go out just remember to say thats what the extra pledge money was for. I'm really looking forward to seeing these starting to roll out, even more so to them getting painted!

Col.Gravis Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 lol, okay, eventually painted? ;) Only five days left until the end of the campaign now, and here's another preview of the work in progress Autocannon design. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/Forum%20Pictures/AutocannonishCCAC_zps306ac988.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273766-anti-tank-lasercannon-carriage-kickstarter/#findComment-3360813 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col.Gravis Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 A couple more additions, first off a work in progress preview of the Tesla Cannon! http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/Forum%20Pictures/TeslacannonAssembly_zps7bc3db89.jpg Secondly, we've added a final stretch goal, one last push to add a final weapon, though to keep it viable this one will be an extra addition pledgers will need to add to their pledge. It is still work in progress, but here is the Multiple Rocket Launcher! http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/Forum%20Pictures/neb6_zps762e8903.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/Forum%20Pictures/neb5_zps868a6b27.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273766-anti-tank-lasercannon-carriage-kickstarter/#findComment-3361267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 That Multiple Rocket Launcher is amazing, and we hit the goal for it so fast! I can't wait to see where this KS ends up Sunday. The only thing that will be better is when we start seeing these carriages painted up for the table. I know that the extra-mechanical/riveted looks of these guns will set a theme within my renegade guard force that may not have otherwise happened.

Col.Gravis Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 It was a crazy fast turn around again! But yes, I can't wait to see some painted, nor to get my hands on some myself to paint! http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/Forum%20Pictures/neb10_zpsdf2c32c8.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273766-anti-tank-lasercannon-carriage-kickstarter/#findComment-3362909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col.Gravis Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Last day, just 8 hours left now. http://kck.st/XXoCux I'm very pleased to be able to preview a more complete Autocannon now - the Gatling is also finished, and the Tesla further along, updates to follow on those in the next 24 hours! http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/AutocannoishAssembly1_zps120dae5a.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/AutocannoishAssembly2_zps5d81ef28.jpg And if you wondered how this particular gun might work, try this youtube ! ;) We've also got the finished Gatling Cannon http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/GattlingGun_zps56429f50.jpg and more work in progress on the Tesla Cannon http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/TeslacannonAssembly2_zpsb1e5f5a3.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273766-anti-tank-lasercannon-carriage-kickstarter/#findComment-3364452 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col.Gravis Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 I'm afraid we're a bit behind Brother Lorien, the caster is working on master moulds at present though. All the masters have been printed though, as below, so we are making progress. It's looking like shipping is going to take place in July rather then June though. I really thought we were going to be able to keep to that schedule but there shouldn't be any further delays. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x160/gravisblog/Forum%20Pictures/6d4f010b-b16e-48f6-8af0-c48b31840b23_zps3ef15335.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273766-anti-tank-lasercannon-carriage-kickstarter/#findComment-3393999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
