Tempest Assault Force: Kickstarter läuft
Aktuell läuft ein Kickstarter für gepanzerte Fahrzeuge und einen Mech zum selber drucken oder aus Resin.
Tempest Assault Force
28mm scale mech model and armoured vehicles for sci-fi wargames. 3d printable STL files and physical pledges available.
Hi, my name is Aaron Prior and I run Culverin Models. I have previously run several successful Kickstarter campaigns and I would now like to present my latest project.
TEMPEST ASSAULT FORCE
This campaign features a selection of 28mm scale warmachines and a scenery set based around a maintenance facility. Both digital and physical pledge levels are available.

The Tempest Assault Mech
This massive machine of war has been designed to withstand heavy punishment whilst dishing out huge amounts of fire in return. In a neutral standing pose with no weapons the Tempest measures 190mm tall, 180mm wide and 92mm deep making it quite a hefty model!
Tempest armed with cannon, siege hammer and missiles
The Tempest has a wide range of parts it can be equipped with;
- 2 heads
- 3 shoulder weapons; rocket launcher, missile launcher and gatling gun
- 3 ranged weapons; cannon, plasma cannon and quad autocannon
- 3 Melee weapons; siege hammer, pneumatic spear and claw hand
Below is an exploded view of a Tempest armed with a plasma cannon, claw and rocket launchers. The arms, legs and head are adjustable when building to provide a variety of posing options.
Armoured Support
There are four armoured vehicles that are often sent out to support Tempest Assault Mechs;
- Dauntless Troop Carrier
- Bulwark Battle Tank
- Defiant Tank Destroyer
- Cerberus Flame Tank
All four of these tanks are included in the STL pack and are available as physical rewards.
Bulwark Battle Tank
A main battle tank. The turret can be equipped with either a cannon with coaxial machine gun, twin cannon, siege cannon or minigun. There are two hull mounted weapon options – twin machineguns or a light howitzer. A bulldozer blade can be mounted to the front to help clear obstacles.

Width: 89mm
Height: 74mm
Cerberus Flame Tank
An infantry support tank armed with a very large flamethrower. A bulldozer blade can be mounted to the front to help clear obstacles.

Dauntless Troop Carrier

Height: 84mm

The Maintenance Facility
The Maintenance Facility is a small depot for the repair and arming of Tempest Assault Mechs and the supporting armoured vehicles. The bulk of the set is made up of the hangar with a movable gantry crane but it also features walkways that can be added to the edges of the hangar to make a whole network of walkways.
This terrain set is included in the STL file package but is also available as a PLA printed physical reward.

Das mal ein ziemlich hässl… ähm primitiver GW rip off
Solange du nur in GW-Läden spielst, bleibst du davon verschont.
Ich mags auch nicht. Es gibt Firmen, die können Alternative GW-Modelle herstellen, die auch 40k-Charme versprühen, aber die Dinger könnens nicht. (Ich brauchte echt ganze zwei Minuten, um zu erkennen, für welches Spiel die gemacht sind.)
Das hält die Leute nicht ab.
Letztens hatte sich jemand in einer der 3D Druck Gruppen bei FB beschwert das man ihn in seinem GW gebeten hat seine zu 90% selbst gedruckten DKoK wieder einzupacken und er hat nicht verstanden warum.
Hier find ich aber eigentlich nur die Lieblosigkeit mit der die Modelle hingeklatscht wurden schlimm.
Die wirken nicht mal wie gewollt aber nicht gekonnt sondern nicht gewollt und trotzdem ne schnelle Mark abgreifen.
@schlange
Waren das denn FW Kopien oder 3.Hersteller?
Selbst gedruckt sagte ich doch, also im context deiner Frage 3rd Party Anbieter.
FW Abgüsse hätte niemanden gestört, zu einen hat einer der ehemaligen Angestellten in dem GW Sachen von Z (wer ihn kennt weiß was gemeint ist wer nicht braucht es nicht wissen) hinter dem Tressen vertickt.
Und zum anderen sieht man den Unterschied nicht wenn Farbe drauf ist. Ausser man kennt die Teile, der Contemptor den die Pigmentpiraten mal bei der Tactica in der Vitrine hatten hat den selben Gussfehler den alle von Z haben (vermuttlich auch ein paar von FW der muss ja irgendwo herkommen).
Und dann kratzt es im GW niemanden (ausser du lässt dich erwischen das nen anderes Thema)
Der ganze Mech ist total lächerlich aufgebaut.
Was mich ja am meisten stört sind die Auspuffrohre. Aber gut. Wers braucht…..
Ich finde die haben einen gewissen Charme. Ich musste an Iron Harvest denken und denke auch, dass es eher in diese Richtung gehen sollte. Ich muss zugeben, ich habe den Text nicht gelesen. 😅
Da scheint mir das WWI-Design gründlich schief gegangen zu sein. Einfach zu schlicht und zu kastenförmig… mich begeistert es jedenfalls komplett nicht.
Och, ich finde die eigentlich ganz lustig. Greift etwas den Charme der Pappmodelle von Ende der 90er, frühe 00er auf. Die ganzen Origami und Pappcybots und -titanen damals waren ja oft ähnlich dynamisch.
Allerdings weiß ich nicht, warum man sich mit solch einem Modell zufrieden geben sollte, wenn es die Modelle Vidovic Arts gibt.
Richtig schlechtes Design. Die Nieten sollen wahrscheinlich darüber hinweg täuschen, der Schuss ging aber besonders bei den Ketten nach hinten los.
Wem‘s gefällt…
Ich hab erst gedacht die Modelle sind im 15mm Maßstab. Für 40k finde ich zumindest dden Läufer nicht wirklich geeignet, eher vielleicht für was in Richtung Weird WW I / II.
