Check out this KS to fund the rulebook for the Broken Contract miniatures game:

Some of you may recall a previous successful KS to fund the minis.
Ash (our very own Achilles) from GMG recently showcased minis from this game:

If you've been paying close attention, you may have noticed some new photos go up today. We're about to go into the final week and I'm looking at boosting the incentives, while not breaking the bank. Here are the things that I can offer in the way of freebies:

I need this. Time to gather some $$, somehow!

The project has been cancelled and relaunched with a lower goal by eliminating the board gamey tiles.
New Project Link = https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/401223236/broken-contract-rulebook-relaunch
There is a new figure add-on option but unfortunately no pic yet ...

And here is the KS Exclusive Pack:

I'm just not sure about the minis. I'm really interested in the setting and the campaign game, but I may hunt down some proxies.
-
Just asked the mods to move this to Future Wars. Cool game, not PA.at all. I think some of the fans of The Expanse might enjoy it too.
-
not PA.at all
lol
agree to disagree
but sure, if it means more people seeing the project why not?
-
Alright so this KS is now FUNDED! Woohoo!
I am really looking forward to the unique setting of this game. Oh gosh I can already feel a terrain project coming on ... it is a good pain!
So now we have some stretch goals:

Do want!

It's certainly dystopian... post-apocalypse doesn't just have to happen on Earth, right?
I think those new models look pretty good. Definitely like the dude in the trenchcoat... The drones look sweet too.

My impression is, this game is not primarily about two factions just straight up murdering each other. The real antagonist is the largely absent FerrumSky corporation. Yes, Black Squadron works for them - but so do the Breakers, after all. The factions seem to be at odds because the true enemy is playing them off of one another. Black Squadron has to wear kid gloves up to a certain point and Breakers are not in it to die by any means - the point is to have a better life. This doesn't have to be an ideological duel to the death. Black Squadron wants the Breakers to do their jobs so Black Squadron's job goes smoothly. And the Breakers want better conditions, better treatment. Between flat-out working them to death and letting them all escape, there is a perilous middle ground and I think that is what Broken Contract is really about.

If there was no apocalypse, then it could not be post-apocalypse, yes? Dystopian FUTURE would be Future Wars is my thought... :)
Regardless, this is a cool KS and I'd like to see it do well!

I decided to keep this thread in the Post-Apocalyptic board rather than move it to Future Wars for now, after considering the move and discussing the proposal via PMs. It doesn't seem to fit precisely in either board 'perfectly', and if the thread author thought it fit best here, then we defaulted to the original placement.
A sincere thanks to those that want to keep LAF well organized, thematically speaking :)

@LeadAsbestos Use whatever models you want. I think I've put together a cool looking range of models, but I use proxies too. Last night I finished up two Aetherium models from Anvil Eight Games to use in my campaign crew. Maybe I'll post some pics up after I take some. @Robh has pictures of his proxies floating around somewhere, and they are really cool.
As for the genre debate, it's a mash-up so what do you do? I put Firefly, Cool Hand Luke, Snowpiercer and a bunch of documentaries on sweatshop labor into a blender and this is what came out. And like Firefly, it's after the Earth got "used up" so definite post apoc undercurrent. Either way, it doesn't fit neatly anywhere. o_o
Anyway, thanks all for interest! I'm glad I wandered by.
