Broken Infantry - multipart aliens from Maelstrom's Edge

[Hobby Services]

I've watched a few videos of gameplay and product unboxings.  The figs look okay but not terrific (even the ones I rather like are only okay, not must-haves) but the game sounds clunky at best.  The setting is...let's be generous and say it seems inspired by elements of the old VOR: the Maelstrom game.  To the point where I wonder if the game's name is a deliberate joke.

Where I have found them for sale, I have found them to be overpriced.

I don't think they have thought through the sprues properly either. For example, these come in a box of 18 miniatures apparently. In that set there will be 36 sets of legs!!

There is more appeal to these than the other sets I think, but then the style is a bit chunky. I think there are better options out there, such as Anvil Industry for example.

Well the game was kind of designed by committee by the users of dakkadakka...make of that what you will.

We cracked open a box at work and tried it once. It felt like a mixture of Magic the gathering, 40k and warmachine. But like, all the worst ,competitive parts, and none of the fun intuitive stuff.

It was certainly playable but god it was dull.

I know at Partizan there were a few sellers knocking them out at significant discounts, 30 or 40% off IIRC, which suggests it's not moving in the UK.

I found this image on Dakka Dakka. It is the most useful comparison photo I have seen yet.

Those do look pretty promising.  Maybe I'll get some when I order my angels.  Gotta have some fishbats.

If they are compatible with GW plastic Cadians, those legs will go nicely with the spares from my Forgeworld Renegade conversions.

Was there any spares from the Salute freebie?

There were spare legs on the Salute freebies, they were just a frame of the troops from the starter set.

I don't personally have any, but I have looked at a set that someone else got.
