Darkest Star Games is attending Millennium Con in Round Rock, Texas, this weekend. If you're in the area stop on by and say "hello!" We will be carrying our full line of 6mm and 15mm figures and vehicles. Look for us next to Two Hour Wargames, for whom we are providing miniatures for game demonstrations!

Howdy folks!
Well here we are, meteorological Fall (in the northern hemisphere, that is...). Time for some new releases! So, as of right this minute, the 15mm versions of the Federation Scorpion LACV, and the Venturian Kh'Erisan MBT and Kh'Lrian IFV are now available for general sale. If you didn't know, the development of these 3 vehicles was funded via a Kickstarter campaign that was successful because we here at Darkest Star Games have the coolest, most awesome and discerning customers! Heck ya! In pre-order news, the long-awaited Venturian Lift Infantry squad is now up for Pre-order, and word is that the Command squad will possibly be ready next month. Maybe some Federation opposition too. We will see... Also very soon, the previously teased Spec-Sec High Intensity Response Team should be along in a matter of weeks (or hopefully days!) Keep your eyes open, there is more to come! Things are still rolling along here at DSG. Manufacturing of the models for our Kickstarter project is well under way and will begin shipping out to supporters in 2 weeks. After that, the 15mm versions of the Scorpion, Kh'Erisan and Kh'Lrian will be added to he webstore and our first Venturian Lift Infantry Squad will be available for pre-order. Might even have a command unit available by then as well. And not to worry, the Federation Lift Infantry aren't far behind. But what else is going on? Well, the long awaited Spec-Sec High Intensity Response Team is currently being moulded, as is a new Spec-Sec Team Leader: Borg Koios. "But what will they look like?" you ask? Here's a little picy for ya! And their backsides... There will be more info on these dudes as soon as we have a release date. But suffice to say, we think they're brilliant!
But is there more? Why yes, yes there is. But you're going to have to wait for it for just a little bit longer... Hey there, it's been a while, hasn't it? Well, time has been flying, and we've been hard at work getting all of the assorted Kickstarter biz running smoothly. Can you believe we're halfway through June already? Wow! We should be able to post some photos of the first couple of castings of the Venturian tracked tank and APC within he next couple of days! Woot!
In the last blog posting we did a little poll, as well as posting the same in other places. After reviewing the answers, as well as a host of direct emails (which, though appreciated, could have been answered on the specific posts rather than sen directly to us!) it seems y'all want to see the big LODAV grav tanks as well as cyborgs. Of course, we listen! The Tiger and Zirhan are now in progress (following behind the triangle tanks from the Kickstarter) as well as a new Borg or 3. Yay! We LOVE borgs! And a milestone for us approaches. Not counting the Kickstarter, we're approaching the 1,000 order mark! For a small biz, that's HUGE! And to celebrate that, the individuals who place orders 999, 1,000, and 1,001 will receive something nifty! Like $50 store credit, get to pick the next release (as well as a freebie of 2 of said release), or maybe some pre-release samples of upcoming new stuff. Shwaggy! (We wanted to include t-shirts, but our logo and shirt design is apparently too complicated. A little time travel to a future where they can handle such things may be in order...) So, good stuff is a' commin', watch this space! With our Kickstarter project fully funded and now entering production, we've been asked "so what's next?" Good question! How about we answer with a question of our own?
"What would you like us to release next?" We have many new models waiting in the wings, just waiting for their chance to launch. Check out the list below and let us know which you'd like to see next! 1. More combat Cyborgs 2. More 15mm sci-fi cars and trucks 3. Vehicles for Colony-15 4. Spec-Sec civilians 5. 15mm LODAV Grav MBTs (Zirhan and Tiger/Lynx) Why are the Venturian and Federation Lift Infantry not on that list? Well, simple answer: as they were part of the KS project and their goals were not reached/funded they are sadly going to have to wait a bit to see the light of day and will not be available until after all of the KS rewards are delivered. Our 15mm sci-fi cars (designed by Charles Oines and previously only available to those who pre-ordered them) are now available from the Spec-Sec page of our store, in both the 5-pack (one of each design) and as individuals. Wheels and agrav/VT modules included with each model!
Our Kickstarter project is humming along, with just a week left to go! The first stretch goal is fast approaching, and in the updates section we've revealed the full Venturian Lift Infantry Squad, as seen below: Yeah, they're pretty rad!
And as if that wasn't enough, we also just put up pictures of a concept models for each of the upcoming (and unlockable) new Dark Star factions! You can check them out here! So tell all of your friends, get a little pledge love going, and we'll be able to get all of these great things into your hands ASAP! (You know you want to....) Over on our Kickstarter page in the Updates section we've teased the Venturian and Federation Lift Infantry squad stretch goal figures. Go check them out!
With the help of some incredible people backing our Kickstarter campaign, we reached the initial funding goal lastnight! The Scorpion and Kh'Erisan 15mm models will now be produced, and the march to our first stretch goal, the Venturian Kh'Lrian APC/IFV has begun. Below is a sneak peek picture of the Kh'Lrian with one of the 2 turrets the kit will come with. Keep an eye on our Kickstarter campaign page, as over the next few days we'll be teasing the Venturian Lift Infantry squat that is also a stretch goal. You don't want to miss it!
As of this moment our Kickstarter campaign is at $2,500, just shy of our funding goal and the road to the first unlock! We're incredibly thankful to those who have pledged! We're almost there!
