Thunderchild Miniatures: Welcome to the Kickstarter campaign for Wasteman: A game of desperate conflicts in a desolate future! A frantic game, set amongst the ruins of a neglected and scorched earth.
Engage in desperate battles between post-humans, hideous monstrosities and killer robots over the dregs of an age of gluttony. Take control of you own syndicate and test your metal against the weird and terrifying denizens of the wastes! With your help I aim to fund the production of the Wasteman rulebook, cards, accessories and accompanying miniature range.
Wasteman miniatures are sculpted by hand to approximately 35mm scale and will be cast in metal, unless specified to the contrary. All figures will come with stat cards and token slot bases (more on these later). They will be supplied unpainted and, in some cases, unassembled.
Wasteman is a fun, easy to learn, and refreshingly crazy game! Players or 'comrades' control syndicates, typically comprised of between 5 and 20 ruthless denizens of the wastes, in an attempt to vanquish their opponent, survive bizarre encounters and/or capture much needed supplies. During a game of Wasteman, comrades take it turn to activate individual figures to perform several actions; such as attacking, moving, hiding or even bringing people back to life with the power of their mind in some cases! Figures can normally only be activated once per turn so you have real scope for strategy – goad your opponent into activating the wrong figure at the wrong time and they could be left open to all sorts of cunning shenanigans!
Packed with gorgeous illustrations, loads of background and all the rules to play Wasteman, the full colour, perfect bound rulebook comes complete with a full deck of M.A.D cards. Select as part of your pledge, or add additional sets for £22.

This looked fantastic - there is an old school Rogue Trader and Gamma World aesthetic that made me want to sign up for the entire lot... until I saw the scale is 35mm. Not interested in getting a pile of human-types that won't fit in the the rest of my collection.
Yes, 32-35mm looks to be the new 28mm especially for skirmish games. Shame for people with large collections in that scale though.
However you can still grab some nasty behemoths like the cyclops and dragon though. Those look also splendid!
