[KS] Broken Contract - New Multi-Part Figs!
« on: November 05, 2018, 04:45:35 PM »
KS LINK

Broken Contract is back on Kickstarter! This project is to fund some new, multi-part sculpts.



Broken Contract is a miniatures game set in a dystopic future where the cruel mining corporation Ferrum Sky has lured men and women looking for a better life into off-world indentured servitude. Those who have had enough are the Breakers - desperate freedom fighters who break their contracts and attempt to break out of the mines that have become their prisons. Opposing them are Ferrum Sky’s security contractors, the Black Squadron.

This is a micro-skirmish game with each player controlling just a handful of models. Check out Ash Barker’s awesome Let’s Play vid:

I’d recommend the 80USD pledge level, where you get the box set with all the cards and tokens plus some play tiles.

This is a wonderful game.

Self contained skirmish format, limited number of figures, small play space but plenty of tactical decisions to make.  The little starter set is genuinely all you need for a lot of entertaining gaming.

I'm a big fan too! (Though I still say it belongs in the Future section, but whatever! :))

Easily missed, it's the first line of the original post

Hi, what scale minis are we looking at here? 28mm, 32mm, 40mm ? I don't understand why this fundamental info isn't included in all these KS's and other releases. Info appreciated please. GDonk

From the KS-
"Gen-Mods are the ogre-sized, lab grown, orphans who operate much of the heavy machinery in the colonies of the future. The models themselves are on 40mm bases and stand ~40mm each. The two existing Gen-Mods in the Broken Contract range were instant fan favorites with their hulking size and gnarly weapon choices. Now we want to expand those choices even further so players can greater personalize their own Gen-Mod characters in the game."

The regular sized models are 28mm.

Apologies LeadAsbestos - I missed that somehow.  Cheers, will also check out Manchu's blog.

Key differences with Broken Contract minis are that they have true proportions, (so no pumpkin heads and table sized hands) and that figures are accurate heights, a 5'6" character being considerably shorter than a 6'2" character.
Scale is the same but character heights are not.

And the sculpts are cool in the way that they're not your typical post-apocalypse models. They're more "civilian" in flavor for the miners, so they would work well in just about any post-apoc game.

Funded, but just barely! Still plenty of time to jump in!
