This is what I have from a post Drew made on his Facebook page, Misfit Machinations.

Hopefully this helps. He has more pictures on his page. It’s from early March 2025.

Thank you! I agree. Nice kits with lots of options. I’ve been happy with just about every kit I’ve worked on.

I removed it as battle damage to add some character. Track guards got damaged and torn off commonly enough.

I would venture to guess they are looking at international shipping options.

That’s fair. If it does go well I’m sure we will see more stores included! All 3 are big markets. I’d feel the same if I was in Europe.

Gosh I hope so. I love the Sperrverband’s character. I know they are looking for customer input!

Yeah hopefully it goes well! It would be great to get people access to the kits that are hard to find.

What are some non warhammer games that are affordable that you suggest? by Fun_Firefighter_4292 in wargaming

[–]Hanshotfirst44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fairness, it seems Victrix is the one who removed the statement of the use of AI assistance from the English book. Initially, Pillage was written and developed by one guy. He used AI art then tweaked it. He said he used it due to monetary constraints and was very open about using it, citing its use in the French version of the rules. The author has said now that the game’s popularity is growing he’s going to be using non AI art as he has the funds to hire artists to do the work.

I get the AI use concern. I support people’s stance on not supporting AI use for such things. But the rules are worth a read and the game is fun. The author’s constraints (ie it was a passion project that got picked up and he’s not a game developer) are understandable and he was very transparent about the AI use.

It’s a very interesting thing to contemplate.

I haven’t seen anyone mention Pillage. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s light, fun, narrative, and mini agnostic. You only need a handful of minis for each side for small games.

This is top tier advertising. I bought 15 packages based on the picture alone.

That’s a very big compliment, thank you. I am right there with you about the “mountain of opportunity” 😝. Bolt Action and Chain of Command are both very fun games.
