A Kickstarter for upcoming horror game The Others kicked off yesterday.  The boxset contains a nice amount of Lovecraftian monsters and more are being unlocked via stretch goals.

Quote
The Others: 7 Sins is a horror board game for 2 to 5 players. One player controls one of the 7 Deadly Sins, employing monstrous incarnations of these corruptive forces in an attempt to consume the world and bring about the apocalypse. The rest of the players cooperate as heroes of the F.A.I.T.H. organization who will attempt to fight back the invasion!

This project is another collaboration involving the same team that created the smash hit Blood Rage: Eric Lang, who also designed other highly acclaimed games such as Chaos in the Old World, Arcadia Quest, and Dice Masters; Guillotine Games, the developers of the popular Zombicide series; Studio McVey, responsible for some of the best miniatures in board games today; and the amazingly evocative art of Adrian Smith, as well as other great artists such as Karl Kopinski, Stefan Kopinski, Paolo Parente, Miguel Coimbra, Jacopo Camagni, Richard Wright, and Georges Clarenko.

I'd love to see an option to just buy the minis! 

They are great looking.  I wonder if they'll look that good.  I still have Sedition Wars sitting on my shelves, looking sad.

Unfortunately CMON won't offer a miniatures only pledge level and are unlikely ever to do so in the future.

CMON have shown us production copies of the miniatures and I believe they are production ministers shown on the main campaign page (and I linked above) for the sloth, pride, he'll club, acolytes and heroes at least (stretch goal police men I am not certain about).  Whilst studio McVey provided sculpts the production is being provided by CMON who have become very experienced in providing excellent quality miniatures over the last couple of years.

These look great!

If the exchange rate wasn't so awful right now, I'd be all over this.

On a side note, does anyone else get put off by the whole "Early Bird" thing?

I'm going to keep an eye on this, if they add a few more stretch goals, it will be too good to pass up.

Cheers.

I backed this, kind of regret missing Titan Forge's Asylum KS but I was out of town when the deadline passed.

I have to say, I'm also very impressed with their pricing!

30 dollars for that expansion, which has 18 miniatures plus other goodies?  That's downright reasonable.
Title: Re: The Others - 7 Sins Kickstarter - Source of Lovecraftian Monsters
Post by: Aeneades on September 15, 2015, 08:23:02 AM
I  was really surprised at the price as one of last years campaigns had $20 addons only containing 4 miniatures (unique sculpts).  This is an extra 14 minutes (8 extra sculpts) plus gameplay bits for only $10 more.

(Apologies if the maths is wrong, still half asleep)

The only thing I think the expansion could have benefited from was an extra story card or two just to add a little more variety. Very minor complaint though considering the price.

Lust locked in.

Only wrath, gluttony and envy left. Wrath and gluttony are easy to represent in miniature... But envy?

I'll wait and see how the KS develops (so far, so good).

The pricing is actually pretty reasonable. Hurts a bit when you add exchange to USD from Canadian.

Terrific stuff...but why oh why in that terrible plastic :(. Makes me skip it...

I bought the production model of Pride from GenCon last year and let was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the plastic, cleaned up really nicely and had very few mold lines in the first place, holds the detail really nicely. The plastic is not to soft and paints up really nicely. My thread is here, http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=75855.msg927576#msg927576

The plastic quality of the minis in the first three Zombicide games was decent. It holds detail well. I expect that level of quality should be present in this game too.

After some lacklastre (in my opinion) stretch goals, now they are on the way for the fifth sin: envy.

Nicely sculpted models and it looks like a fairly reasonable price to get in on the ground floor.  As I look at them though they did a good job of producing, "scary monsters" but for the most part have failed to produce identities for them that convey the cardinal sins they are supposed to represent.

I was thinking that too. Lust really doesn't look like an avatar of such. However, these are a single group of people collaborating on it, so what they come up with is likely very different than what I would for each of the sin avatars.

But can I afford joining this KS? :'(

The paintwork on those resin master figures is amazing, really disturbing miniatures.

BUT.... as is said elsewhere the concepts and sculpts, whilst great, do not really manifest the core idea of the named sin. I think there are figures that "fit" the subject better amongst the Kingdom Death range.

Post by: Aeneades on September 29, 2015, 11:30:31 PM
The impression I get is that they are not actually meant to be manifesting the sin but that they are strange eldritch creatures and there happened to be 7 of them so they were named after the sins, each sin being associated with the Avatar it most closely matched.  I could be way off base with that though, especially given the contents of the Apocalypse box -

I'm still on the fence regarding this one.

I love the avatars, the Hellclub members, and Apocalypse and his horsemen.
I severely dislike most of the heroes, the abominations, controllers, and acolytes.
The rules seem like they would provide for fun sessions; but I prefer horror-oriented games, whereas this one seems clearly an action-oriented one.

Decisions, decisions... ???

For the base $100 you get the game plus all the SG sins...five of these will sell for retail for plus $25

The minis are very cool and based on the blood rage kickstarter this is a bit of a non brainer if you are looking for unique horror minis

I find the minis on this don't really reflect the Sins. The obvious one is Lust. I haven't read any background info though so that would probably explain things a bit better.
Love that Pride Avatar though. Awesome!

I disagree! Actually, Lust is the best one. I see polygamy, venereal diseases, inbreeding and unwanted pregnancy. The avatar represents the results of unrestrained lust, not its trigger.

(Having studied Philosophy of Art helps)

We have just hit a stretch goal to add 3 additional kickstarter exclusive location tiles and are approaching a goal to get a special Omega Team box for all the Kickstarter exclusive items.

Next up we have what looks to be the final goal and it's a Kickstarter exclusive addition to the Sons of Ragnarok -

too many legged creatures for my taste, not enough floaty bizarre weirdness for my me.
