Title: Void 1.1 fans?
Post by: Henchman21 on May 11, 2020, 06:05:27 AM
Hey folks, I was wondering if there were any fellow fans of the classic i-kore game Void 1.1 here.  I’m one of the people who runs the Void 1.1 Nexus facebook fan group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/224862621250610/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/224862621250610/)) and I just wanted to make sure other veteran Void players were aware of 1) the very active fan community we have over on FB and 2) all the cool stuff that’s been happening with Void recently (developer Q&As, new models & rules in the works, etc.).  Just in case you don’t do facebook, here’s the link to Void’s new home:
https://www.seb-games.com/games/void/ (https://www.seb-games.com/games/void/)

For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, Void is a roughly platoon scale 28mm sci-fi skirmish game.  If that isn’t enough info for you, go to Seb Games and download the rules & army lists – they’re all free, no registration required  :D.  I also left a blurb about it in the sci-fi rules reference thread on this site

Thanks for that.
I used to play a lot of Void when it first came out. Great rules, figures and background story. I still have all my figures and books, but probably not played in a decade. Will check it out on FB straight away.
Many thanks.

 I probably won't be tempted into the game but it's good to know these figures are still fully available at reasonable prices. Thank you for the link .

Used to play it a lot along time ago, still got a ton of the figures, somewhere.

I know little of the game but the miniatures are fabulous to paint.  I did a few and Urban War in 2005.

By coincidence I'm gathering together a few UW \ Metropolis Viridians for a personal painting project.   ::)  (Wonder if I should post for "wants" here on LAF?)

Very early painting - for me - so apologies for quality. LINK (http://www.orctrader.co.uk/UrbanMammoth.html)

Oooh man I collected loads of Syntha and Junkers, great minis. Doubt they ever played a game. Heavens knows where they are now.

Don’t tempt me to look on evilBay...  :`

Personally, I think that Knight of Balance at the top of the page looks pretty good.  Also, I'm pretty sure I remember seeing those Gladiators on the old Urban Mammoth forums...

Also, for those not on FB, here's a new Void sculpt in the works previewed there:

I painted two Void militia figures yesterday :)

Never did play the game, but I liked the minis a lot.

Wowzers! I remember back this was getting the daily hype from Some Other Minis Page  ;) I confess I never got around to playing it, but I have a rather substantial VASA force (that's sitting... somewhere back in the queue. Sigh). Mayhap I'll take another stab at getting some of those Suppressors done, finally. And should anyone be looking to up-gun their own VASA forces, I've found the 1/100 Vigna Ghina Gundam kit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UqH5yymP4Y (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UqH5yymP4Y)) fits in remarkably well with the original Birds of Prey.

Best of luck with this! I'll give a stab at getting the locals interested once shops open again,

Still got most of my Junkers (stupidly got rid of the plastics 😢), my Koralon, all the rulebooks and some Urban Warfare stuff. Could be tempted back, I remember liking the mechanics.

I wonder how quickly I could bash out the Koralon using Contrasts...

Thanks.  And yes, I think I did post the Gladiators on the UM forums.

Nice looking new figure.  Who's the sculptor?

Wow, that takes me back. Used to be on the playtest team for I-Kore / Urban Mammoth, and wrote a ton of scenarios. Still have the files and excel tables for the 4in1 somewhere, too  ;)
This seb-games outfit isn't, by chance, run by Sébastien from the old playtest team?
I don't do Facebook, but say hi to all the old-timers from way back then for me. Best of luck with the restart - I'm unlikely to buy any more miniatures since I have more Void than I'll ever paint anyway, but I'll be ckecking out any new rules or armybooks that'll come out.

John Robertson, one of Void's original designers - he's become a sculptor par excellence  :)

I don't think so, this Seb is a Polish fellow  :D

Been a fan of Void for the longest while, it was the first game we branched out of the GW ecosystem into. Started with a small Koralon force and then went into a large Junker force (mainly as an FLGS owner was clearing out their stock of Void in a fire sale) and had some updated Koralons too.

The first two forces sadly got sold and the last one got cannibalized for parts for various other conversion projects. (I hear Broodmasters make for excellent Rak'Gol conversions (https://imgur.com/gallery/Vjka4KH) :D) Glad to hear it is coming back, was one of my fave games back in the day.

Ups seems I missed this post :D

My name is Sebastian, and I'm the guy behind Seb Games, and I'm the man behind the Void reboot. Feel free to ask any questions :)

I'm happy to see that there are some Void fans here! I hope we will restore VOID to its former glory!

Hi Seb!

Quick one on the old walkers - I couldn't see them in the 4in1 rules doc on the Facebook group, will they be part of the future re-release and if so which army will they fit into?
Title: Re: Void 1.1 fans?
Post by: Seb on May 19, 2020, 01:08:52 PM
Hi Cypher226,

I'm assuming you mean Korvus and Tiger. Yes, they will be back in the game. I think they will be available for all factions like it was in the original Void.

With this reboot, I decide to take a step back, and base the releases around so-called "Purple Edition". I know it can be a bit controversial, but the forcebook (with the little exception of the Koralon book) refer to it. It makes it easier for new players to have all the publication in one place.

Hey Seb, got my order a couple of days ago. Good casts, now to go back in time with what was first intro to the game.

Side note, is there any word on if you have the molds for the Arakton Shard Bomb launcher mini? It was never present when Scotia Grendel had them (but neither were the Araktons...), is the mold knackered or will that be available later on?

Yep, they're the ones. Cheers, appreciate the insight. I always liked the designs but never picked them up - I think my painting skills can do them justice now though 😁

Hi Grimtuff,

I'm glad to hear that you are happy with miniatures :)

I was sure I did have him on my list. I believe the mould is ok, but I will need to double-check it.  I will add it to our restock list, can't give you an exact date when it will be available again, but if mould is ok, I think sometime in June is very likely.

I'm building my Koralon force as well, so I will need one or two minis as well :D

Always happy to help :)

Cheers,

Sweet! I'll be making another order in the future. Painted those other ones up far too quickly.

Random thought that has popped into my head too, mainly as Google yielded zero results. Does anyone (or are you planning on, if no) produce perspex templates that match Void? Cannot find anything online and my cardboard ones have seemingly vanished into the, um, void.  ;D

Painted to quickly, that's not a statement I hear a lot  lol

Yes, I was thinking about templates, they are on the list  8)

The gamebox rulebook pdf has them in the back, here's the Scotia Grendel link:
https://www.shop.scotiagrendel.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=217_218_59_69&products_id=3980

I don't know if it still works, and if it does, you'll need a Scotia Grendel account to download it.

@Seb - It's great to know that the game has been picked up by someone who is adding sculpts to the range. Void is a game that I have all the books for but I've never gamed (I just can't be bothered to game anything... so please don't take it personally ;) )... however, I have a shed-load of miniatures for it and am keeping an eye on the range to see if anything new 'floats my boat' :) .

Good luck! It's great when a bit of enthusiasm gets involved with an aging thing and reinvigorates it :) .

@Inso,

Thanks for your support! And please forgive me for such a long delay in response :)

We have some new minis coming so I hope you will like them.

Also, Seb Games just published the first issue of a mini-mag to support the game (and other products as well) you can download it for free here:

Ah, I was hoping for a more polished version of VOID. I like how Tactics approaches a smaller skirmish, but I feel the VOID rules are a bit too basic for this and don't offer enough depth I'd like in my skirmish games.

Hi Malebolgia,
 
Thanks for your feedback! The plan is to add a bit more to the Void Squad Tactics in the next issue of BattleMag!. The core idea for it is to allowed new players to start playing the game as soon as they finish painting the first few miniatures.

But yes, adding a bit more is definitely a good idea :)

Cheers,
Seb
