Daemons Take On X-Terra As New Titan Forge Kickstarter Launches
January 24, 2015 by brennon
Titan-Forge have launched their new Kickstarter, X-Terra Space Force Vs Daemonic Kingdoms and it's already bust through it's target and is marching on towards stretch goals...
We'll kick things off by looking at two of the big Daemon armies that are part of the Kickstarter right now. They've got the Fury Bundle, which looks like typical horned devils and the Decay Bundle which draws on a bit of that Games Workshop Nurgle spirit but twins it all with an essence of DOOM. Everything does look like it would be at home in that game.
There are a lot more bits and pieces however for the X-Terra forces which include the likes of the infantry above, a mix between Halo Spartans and DOOM marines, followed by some awesome bikers that you've seen before and some hero characters too.
Some pretty cool looking renders out there for some very awesome miniatures. With this set of models on the way, the Eisenkerns from DreamForge, and the entire Anvil Industry Afterlife range you have quite the stock of cool Sci-Fi miniatures to choose from. Let's not forget Warpath is back soon too from Mantic so that might even be a consideration for these armies.
What do you think?

Would have been interested if it wasn’t for their mind-boggling reward system, totally OTT and ridiculous. You buy points which you then have to try to work your models to fit into the points value but unfortunately they don’t have multiples of 50 or 100 but some random number ending in 20, 40 or 60 etc. You then have to try and work out how much each is worth, $10 for 150pts is quoted, so how much is each unit actually valued at when there is no consistency in points between them and then being UK based, I then have… Read more »
Damn I want the bikes!
£26 excluding postage and import/customs charges for three bikes ain’t bad, that’s providing they actually send you the item… Considering their track record on kickstarter…
GW Marine Bike Squad £20 for 3. Free pick up from local GW or Indie stockists. In a hobby where everyone bitches over prices, GW actually have the better deal here. And there is no reference for the cast quality of these KS bikers. hmmm…
These are going to be in resin though compared to GWs plastic, although I totally agree with your sentiment.
Sorry to once again be a pain but, before jumping in, have a look at the comments on their other kickstarer projects (look not only under Titan Forge but also Titanforge Games as they created a new account in between).
thx for the info….
The bikes are still looking very cool, but with problems with nearly every finished KS I wait for the retail.version….
Not really feeling the GW Chaos knock offs. The Semi Space Marines look alright but still, I got enough of the GW ones not to really want more.
At least they’re not wearing bell bottoms 🙂
Those demons are rather nice and those marines are lot like Doom marines. Those demons do also have very Doom like design so I quess it makes sense that what fight against them also look like they would be from that classic FPS..
Nope. There are no painted actual models to show the real detail. Track record for these guys leaves me very dubious and there is nothing there that I would call inspiring or new to the sci-fi genre for wargamers. Kickstarter can be great when done correctly, but seen too many people waste time money and enthusiasm on these knock off ranges to consider buying into it. I’ll stick with my 40k stuff.
What’s this points crap?
When there’s only so much money to go round, don’t make it harder for people to figure out how much they want to spend. They’re more likely to just shrug and move on to some other project.
Apologies, that should be:
“What’s this points stuff?”
No need for me to be surly. 🙂
The figures are nice even if they are a tad generic, but Titan Forge are a bit to shady for my tastes.
Good and bad: I like the guardians but the marines look like hockey goalies, or like they’re wearing those suits used to train attack dogs.
The bikes: Good grief, could we get something even slightly realistic, like a helmet aimed weapon behind the rider, rather some frame or fork mounted thing that aims where you drive. That’s got to be the lamest idea out there, and clone companies keep repeating it.
Fury bundle: Yes, please, minus the chain swords of course. Easy enough to swap them out for something a bit more realistic.
Its an uglier version of 40k then?
I like the models a lot, just got no use for them and Titan Forges trackrecord with kickstarters seems a bit lacking. But if I had a use and were in mood for a gamble, I´d likely pledge.
Was mostly refering to the commisarish dude and the not space marine on bike with the maul weapon .. do like the starcraft marines though
