For about a year we have been working on some new figures for the Dark Star range, including the long awaited grav-raft crews. Here are a couple of sneak peeks to keep your hope alive.

Just in: a pair of WIP pictures of the crews for the upcoming 15mm Grav Rafts for the Federation and Venturians!
Now, they may look a bit odd with the head positions, but that's only because they aren't glued on... no really, they're just tacked there so we can get an idea of how they're going to look. So here they are, let us know what you think! I know it's been a while since there has been a new post or a new release, but I assure you Darkest Star Games is still running strong!
Very soon we will be releasing the following (all 15mm, and probably not in this order): - 2 new cars and a new van. All kind of grav based. - Accessory sets for the van and cars, like different front and rear ends, roof ladders and cargo pods. - Anti-air turret and MLRS turret for the Venturians. - Support and special weapons, new head and back mount options for the Spec-Sec Pugio Combat Armor. - Support weapons and back mount options for the Pilum Combat armors. Also in the pipes (being printed and molded) soon will be a tracked/hover recovery vehicle/ammo carrier for the Federation, a 4 wheeled scout car for the Venturians, and 6mm scale Free Traders (our first spaceships!) for both Federation and Venturian merchants to ply the space lanes. A new cab for 15mm trucks in the Spec-Sec line will be available, as well as a city bus. Oh, and did I mention the crews for 15mm grav-rafts? Almost done! Lots afoot! Under design: 15mm versions of the Federation and Venturian walkers, hover skirts for the Venturian ground armor, 1st generation grav modules for both the Federation and Venturian ground armor. once these are complete we will be moving on to 2nd generation vehicles, such as the Stormer, Lancer, Zil'Hiran and Goran, as well as some mid-tech infantry. Stay tuned... Update time!
The following are currently being printed and will be here soon:
The latest sci-fi cars are at the caster and should be along soon. Keep your eyes peeled! Happy 2018 everyone! I sincerely hope that this year will be even better for everyone than last year, and thank you for continuing to support Darkest Star Games!
I have been getting a lot of questions about "what's coming out next?" So, I thought we would look back at 2017 briefly, then dive into what's in the offing for this year. I'll go ahead and admit it, 2017 was a very slow year release wise for DSG. The Federation received some much needed tracked support in 15mm scale, as well as the same in hover version with the MBTs. And that is good and much needed. Yup, that's it. Disappointing, I know. Lots of things were put on the back burner or left incomplete. BUT, they will not remain so! Here's what is going on for the next year: Currently in production:
Currently in some percentage of actual design completion:
Currently not an form of complete but may jump up the list:
So, that's a look at what's going on, what's coming up, and what's being thought about. If there's anything you want moved higher on the lists, let me know! The more people sound off, the more likely stuff is to jump in the cue! Sooooo.... one of the molds for the Skorpios Drive-Armor had a bit of a failure during casting. We only have a small few left in stock, and hopefully these will tide over until a new mold is made. Now, the Skorpios is one of our oldest models and I was never really happy with how it turned out (some things are a bit squished, due to the print material that was available at the time), so I figured I'd take this opportunity to poll the masses as to whether or not any changes need to be made. Please give the poll below a gander and fill in your favorite feedback dot. Many thanks! EDIT AND UPDATE:
Poll removed Thank you everyone for your input, much has been learned. We will be doing a slight redesign on the Skorpios so that it has a little more detail, will be basically in 1 pose, and will be cast in resin instead of metal. Not quite sure of the cost implications just yet, but we will continue to sell what we have remaining of the metal versions until stock is depleted (we have 6 left currently, so don't delay if you want one in metal!) As always, we will keep you posted on developments and releases! We are having a fall/winter sale!!!!

The "What's Next?" poll produced some interesting results. The tallies from this blog, a couple of forums, and via email dictate that the products YOU, our esteemed customer and fellow gamers, want to see coming along next are 6mm Garrhul, 6mm hover Federation tanks, and 15mm tracked recovery vehicles! Yep, it was a 3-way tie! I was quite surprised by this turn of events, but YOU have spoken, and we will listen! So to recap and keep everyone abreast of what we are doing at the moment which will be the upcoming releases:
