DreamForge Games 15mm Crusader on Kickstarter

Mark Mondragon has expanded the DreamForge Games plastic kits Kickstarter - the 15mm version of the Crusader is now available for pre-order!

Mark is already famous among the 15mm Sci Fi crowd for sculpting many of Khurasan Miniatures' "big guys," like the Siler super-heavy tank, the Tribal Dual-Purpose Light Spaceship, the Mekanoid Dictator and Hatchet, L-HAC Battle Mech, and the Parasachnid Ogre Beetle. He started DreamForge Games to design and produce figures and vehicles for his Iron-Core universe. Most of his products are 28mm, but he released a 15mm resin Crusader early this year (and it sold out almost instantly!). 

DreamForge Games is using Kickstarter to make the leap from pricey resin kits to high-quality injection-molded plastic (these will be produced through Wargames Factory). The Crusader will be the first 15mm Sci Fi mecha release in plastic - and who knows what kind of possibilities this could open up in the future?

The 15mm Crusader will stand 4.5" tall. Kickstarter orders are $44 for one, $79 for two, or $105 for three mecha. DreamForge has ambitious plans for additional weapon arms, complementary vehicles, and 15mm infantry in the future.


Cheers,
Chris

  1. Thanks Chris and John!

    This is not the same 15mm scale kit we made in resin, the resin kits were 5.5” tall and fixed pose. These will be 4.5” tall (a true conversion to 15mm scale) and fully poseable just like their big brother. If there is enough interest (backers) I can release all the weapon options you see for the 28mm kits in this scale and in this Kickstarter project!

    Iron-Core is being fast tracked so you will have a game to use both the 15 and 28mm figures in. I would love to see the 15mm scale take off! Iron-Core is a vehicle centric game and 15mm is a better scale for that kind of game, as well as being kinder to the pocket book ;)

    If you would like to see all eight factions ranging from gothic to hard sci-fi aesthetics made in plastic model kits, then I ask you to show your support. The more backers we have for the 15mm scale kits, the easier it becomes to justify quickly expanding that range.

    Thank you for your help!

  3. I really love the look of these! However, I just cannot justify spending that much money on 28mm let alone 15mm. Sorry. Would love to support you guys, but the prices are prohibitive.
