Demonic Tanks: Kickstarter läuft

Bei Kickstarter gibt es neue Panzer, die nicht nur auf den ersten Blick etwas „speziell“ daherkommen.

Demonic Tanks: Sci-fi AND Fantasy chaos Physical Miniatures

High quality polyurethane resin casts of my 4 original demonic tank sculpts for chaos themed 28mm heroic scale tabletop games.

Hello, I’m a traditional miniature sculptor from Buffalo, New York working in Milliput, Green Stuff and polymer clay.  My designs are weird and wild and meant to be fun to paint, and they even come out of the box ready to paint!  I have a studio space with a molding and casting setup already but I need your help to acquire bulk materials for this production run.  I will be offering high quality polyurethane plastic resin casts of my four original demonic tank sculpts as rewards.

To keep things simple and to save you from having to buy into a bundle with models you might not desire:   You can pledge for one of any of the 4 tank models you like at $36, and you’re in!  From there, you can select additional copies of that tank, as well as any of the other 3 tank models using the Add-Ons.  They are all $36 each.

The master sculpts:

Rust Belt Minis Demonic Tanks 2

These are made to work as light tanks and transports in games that use the 28/32mm Heroic Scale for troops.  They are designed to work well in BOTH Sci-fi AND Fantasy settings.  They would be right at home in a large scale grim sci-fi conflict or as the final boss in a dark fantasy dungeon crawl.  I’ve taken care to ommit any purely sci-fi details, so they could be running on steam, diesel, or on demonic energy alone, whatever the setting requires.  The rough dimensions of the main tank chassis (minus the demonic growth above the tracks, smoke stacks sticking up and cannons sticking out) are:

  • Length: roughly 11.5cm or 4.5 inches
  • Width: roughly 7.5cm or 3 inches
  • Height:  roughly 5cm or 2 inches

These will be a single piece casting requiring no clean up or assembly work and will come pre-washed, so there will be no need to remove mold release residue or mold lines.  These will be ready for primer and paint right out of the box.  I’m using very high quality Smooth Cast 305 resin that carves, sands and drills nicely for easy kitbashing.  These have a lot of fine detail that will let experienced painters really show off but will also allow novices to achieve impressive results using only dry brushing and washes.

Note the underside of my unique casting design below.  Thick walls with an ‚igloo‘ shaped void to retain strength, while reducing the weight to a lighter (but still VERY chunky) ~12oz or ~340 grams.  The plain/hollow bottom is what allows the cast to be a single piece, free of mold lines.  The only part needing to be cleaned up after the casting process is a bit of sprue material left on the bottom, which I will be sanding off so it’s perfectly flat as shown here.

Below are examples of the four different gray resin casts as they will ship, with close up pictures of each side:

‚Gut Buster‘ Demonic Tank: Featuring a large ulcerated stomach and twisted, exposed viscera, this unhappy camper is ready to rain down acidic destruction and the occasional exploding gallstone on its enemies.

‚Meat Maw‘ Demonic Tank: Featuring a prominent „Troop Chute“ as well as smaller „SphincDoors“ for easy embarking/disembarking of troops.  A mascerating mouth on top with a deep gut allows plenty of cursed troops to ride into battle that otherwise might not have gone willingly.  It’s also rumored to produce sonic attacks from its meaty maw.

‚The Scream‘ Demonic Tank:  This is rumored to be a changling, has a brain on top that’s ripping open from psychic overload and floating in a psychic soup, and can generate portals for easy troop transportation.  Its mind-piercing scream will ruin your whole afternoon, evening, and part of the next day.

‚Blood Blaster‘ Demonic Tank:  This features a large demonic heart which powers its blood cannon.  Capable of melting unsuspecting troops with its lava-hot spew as well as demolishing fortified positions by lobbing clot mortars.
