Post by: therepoman on July 22, 2014, 02:29:36 PM
Wreck Age is a post-collapse 28mm tabletop skirmish game (as well as a narrative RPG)

We're proud to announce our first starter box, which allows 2 people to play Wreck Age. It features the vampyric Stitchers and the barbaric Drifters.

Ships August 1st.

The caravan paths and walking trails through The Wilds take many travelers through Burnt Tierra Gulch. Due to the high rate of traffic, it holds strategic significance to both the Stitchers and the Drifters in the Area.

Playing Showdown at Burnt Tierra Gulch will determine who will control the gulch, and in turn, the resources that flow through it.

The world of Wreck Age is rich and varied, allowing you to use this starter box as a jump off point for a variety of campaigns and skirmishes limited only by your imagination:

About two centuries ago, Earth verged on total collapse. Clouds of pollution smothered every major city, rising oceans threatened to burst coastal defenses, crops were failing, and people were starving. Left with no alternative, world leaders collaborated on a last-ditch effort to save humankind: the Exodus. It was a grandiose plan involving several waves of evacuations, with the end goal of colonizing distant planets.

The Exodus promised survival for everyone. It was an escape from a decaying planet.

It was hope.

It was a lie.

Only a choice few ever made it to the stars. For those left behind, generations have passed; a new society has emerged from the ashes of the collapse that followed. Recovery is slow and painful. Few grand cities remain, and even fewer great leaders. There is no centralized structure. The powerful fight over the scraps of the old world, while the weak struggle just to make it through another day.

I just received my pre-order of this set.
Figures are as good as all the other models in the range, true scale 28mm (true proportion). The resin pieces are excellent. Each "tent" is made up of clearly detailed Interstate and other highway signs, car parts and other scavenged items. More like small semi-permanent shacks than tents. The detail is engraved so not needing freehand painting.
Hard resin with very few air bubbles. 3 different models, approx 35-40mm wide by 60-70mm long and 35-40mm high.

Thanks for the comments!

Rob, I actually sent you test casts that were non-pressure cast. I now have an even better set up so there should be no bubbles in the newer casts. I can throw a set of the updated terrain in with your next order.
;)

These look great!

They really are, I am painting mine at the moment and keep finding bits of decoration that I thought were space fillers. But when you get a brush on them the detail really shows through and everything comes together and fits the theme.
Whoever did the masters for these really has an affinity for the Post Apoc genre.

Thanks Rob!

I'd love to see them painted up when you're finished. We've got our second box set in the works, and some big (wheeled) surprised in the near future.

Alex from Ironheart did the masters on these. He's got an amazing line of terrain:
