Paymaster Games first game, Going Native: Warpath is set for release in the summer of 2013 and we are currently raising funds and selling preorders on Kickstarter. Going Native: Warpath focuses on the native cultures of the Americas and the Pacific and their mythology. We are taking a completely new approach to natives then other games; our game is set in a time before the Europeans arrived in America or the Pacific. Instead of large armies with several models that most historical games require that you make to, Going Native: Warpath takes different approach. Instead of large armies, GN:W forces are smaller and faster groups that resemble realistic War Parties that were formed when it was time to go to war.
We also approached Native American myths and legends as well. Unlike the myths of Europe and Asia, the legendary creatures of the Americas are largely unknown to the average gamer or hobbyist. One of the goals of Going Native: Warpath was to bring these amazing and bizarre creatures to the table top for the first time. Your armies, referred to as War Parties in this game, would not only be able to field the better known American creatures like Feathered Serpents, Sasquatch, or the Thunderbird, but they would also get the opportunity to use fiery Cherufe, the powerful Piasa, or the seductive Deer Woman as well.

Cool stuff! Looks very well done too. I may just have to kick in...
-
I really like this and the initial sculpts look good. You need bigger shots of the concept art and box contents though, it's difficult to make out. Do you have them on another website that you can link to?
-
I am working on that right now. It should be up tomarrow.
-
Great, looking forward to seeing them. This is very tempting.
-
Not much tempted by another new game that'll take the dust in my library, but the miniature design and the very subject are pretty interessing so far.
-
Well you could use the models for Historical gaming like Fields of Glory, Clash of Empires, and Hail Ceaser as well. Other then the spirit beasts, the models are taken right from history, you would just have to swap the round base they come with to a square base. My models are all 28mm and scale well with Foundry and GW.
-
An interesting and fun concept. I always worry, however, when supernatural or super-powerful forces get involved because it seems the battles devolve into slugging matches between the powerful beasties with the rest of the figures ending up as cannon fodder. Game balance is very important to prevent this. But...I like the figures I see so far. :)
-
Troops are the focus of Going Native. In most cases that troops are way stronger then the Spirit Beasts in our playtesting. The Spirit Beasts are intended support the troops and not the other way around like Horde/Warmachine. Please remember I took these beasts traight our of the myths of native people and in meny of those myth a tribe or a couple of heroes were able to slay the monsters, so i kept that in mind.

I want to see that Aztec officer painted; he looks absolutely lovely even in green form.

Their has been an update on the campaign page
As we Progress, it is time for another update. This update is to the Aztec Triple Alliance War Party Starter kit. The Spirit Beast that comes with that kit is the Ahuizotl Otter.
Cryptozoologists believe the Ahuizotl Otter was once the largest Otter that has ever lived in North America and was native to the lakes and streams of Mesoamerica. According to the myths of the Aztecs and the other groups in Mesoamerica, The Ahuizotl Otter had a hand on its tail and often attacked and drowned people that wandered it to deep water. According to the logs of Christopher Columbus, he encountered one as it attack and killed a rather ill-tempered Spanish boar.
The planned size of this beast is about 20mm to 25mm at the withers and will be mounted on a new style 40mm round base.
Thanks Guys
See you next update.

$185 Wise Old Fox Just Models - Two Spirit Beasts, Four Starter Kits, Four monster hunters
How does this sound?
-
Love this idea but it's too many drawings and not enough actual sculpts to suck me in, unfortunately.
-
I am working on getting the greens. Funding for this project has always been a problem, since i have mostly been funding this out of my pocket. So their has been challanges to say the least. This kickstarter is all about the models.
I just finished putting up the add ons. They are sorted by sizes,
Warrior Add Ons are Man Sized Models.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2139148164/going-native-warpath/posts/329614
Spirit Beast Add Ons are monster sized models.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2139148164/going-native-warpath/posts/329654
Other Add Ons are just other Stuff like Mayan Number Dice, Rule Books, and Additional Kits.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2139148164/going-native-warpath/posts/329694
Thank you for your support guys

While I'm not in the market for a new game I'm excited to see these outlandish monsters released in miniature form, and buy a few! I love the Ahklut sculpt and the concept art for the flying heads has got me hyped. Best of luck dude.
-
Thanks.
I am working real hard to bring the best native american models out their. The monster are one of my favorate parts of this project. I have collected well over 100 monsters from native myths. Some are mundain, but others are fantastic and truely bizzare.
If you are just interested in the models, we have just models options.
-
Going Native: Warpath is real close to reaching the campaign goal. We felt that it was time for some updates.
By request, there are now all model pledge options that offer Spirit Beast in place of Core Rule books. These all model kits are great deals. For example, the Wise Old Fox All Model kit offer 60 man sized models for $3 each and the 6 spirit beasts that come with the kit are free. These kits are limited in number, so you may want to jump on it while there are some left.
I am proud to announce that Ian Mountain just finished the Pacific Northwest War Chief. This is the planned War Chief for the Pacific Northwest Tribes War Party Starter Kit.
This model was inspired by photos of the Kwakiutl (Kwakwaka'wakw) tribe taken in the early 1900s.
Also by fan request, we have also made some avatars.

Lets contue to get the word out thier and lets get the other starter kits unlocked. Thanks to every one, You are truely awsome.
-
Congratulations on reaching the funding goal! I just found out about Going Native: Warpath and it very much strikes my interest. The greens look splendid and I have been looking for well-sculpted Hawai'ians for quite a while now. I shall very much look forward to seeing the first sculpts.
This miniaturist secretly dreams of re-enacting Captain Cook's last hours ... >:D
Regards and continued good luck,
Pommeroy

:o
um...I am not going to make a captain cook for you to kill unless you pay for it.
On of the kits that i really want unlocked is the Hawaiian kit. I just like the way they look, they look so different from any other model i have ever seen on the market. Then again so do the rest of my models. huh, never thought about it before.
-
The Consept sketch for the Mo'o just came in today. The Mo'o is the spirit beast that comes with the Hawaiian Koa Starter Kit.
The Mo'o is one of the most Common Guardian Spirits though out the cultures of the Pacific Islands. The Mo'o takes the form of a gekko, and it protects pools of fresh clean water on the islands.

I am picturing a british landing party supported by royal marines facing a horde of Hawai'ian wariors in a lavish Pacific island setting, outcome open!

You that is the kind of think that i wanted people to use my models for. Sounds like fun.

A mystery spirit beast has been spotted in the dark waters in the lakes of north and south america.
This is a special Spirit Beast will be made available to all levels Warrior and above as a Spirit Beast add on upon reaching $7000. If we reach the $9000 goal by Tuesday 10/30, every one that has the Wise Old Fox level kit or above will recieve one of these Mystery Spirit Beast for no additional cost.
What do you think it is?

The Lake Monster found in the lakes of the americans are know by meny names, Ogopogo, Memphre, Nahuelito, Champ, Ouampenanagoag, just to name a few. But all of these bease share similar traits like a long neck, and is very long. Some cryptozoological ideas have the american lake monster being a plesiosaur or ancient whale. Give the climate these monsters are found, others believe that they are much more likely related to a Sturgeon.
