ZynVaded! Mark II figures are go!
« on: September 08, 2010, 03:47:46 PM »
Alright, our website is still down while getting relaunched with a new store, but the newly revised figures are up and running in the meantime!

Our game is called ZynVaded! and it is a 1:1 scale skirmish-level combat game, and is played on any flat (or semi-flat) surface you can find. Here's the overview:

The Zyn™ are an inch-high, insectile alien race determined to conquer as many worlds as they can. They sent a probe to Earth to find out about the resources available, and to gather information on the indigenous life. The probe landed and started to explore its surroundings, taking a series of pictures to transmit back. It discovered many primitive life forms that appeared to be made out of metals or plastics, and were similar in size to the Zyn. When the report was received back on their home world, the Zyn monarch decided that Earth would be easy to invade and take over. The one thing that the Zyn did not know was that the probe had actually landed on a gamers’ table and had accidentally scanned some miniatures that were being used in a game! When the Zyn invasion force arrived on Earth, they were halted upon seeing humans' actual size, and in the meantime have established a headquarters in the basement of a Chinese restaurant. The Zyn cannot return to their home world with what few supplies remain on their ships, so they have decided to try to replenish their resources and transmit their Intel home to inform the monarch to send more forces and better weapons. Some of the Zyn do not wish to start a war, especially one that looks to be near-impossible to win, and would prefer to stay and remain undiscovered, so they have formed a splinter faction to try to stop the impending invasion. There is a constant battle going on beneath the feet of humans and they don't even know it. What the future holds for the Zyn and the humans is still up in the air.

In ZynVaded!, you assume the role of one faction of the Zyn, an inch-high, insectile alien race determined to conquer our planet, one cluttered surface at a time! You can choose to play as either the Kyll’al, the militant arm of the alien invasion, or the Sav’m, the rebellious faction looking to halt the invasion.


These are the Sav'm


These are the Kyll'al


These are the Assassin figures


The G.N.A.T. Battle Pods


So, personally, I think they look a heck of a lot better than before, but that's just me.

As before, if you have any questions about the game, or would like to order a set, please contact me at wehaveissuespub@yahoo.com or http://wehaveissuespublishing.myfastforum.org/index.php (I am Admin), and I'll post here once the new site/store is up!

The battle pods are nice but for some reason the location of the gatling guns just looks so wrong. They give a whole new meaning to hosing down your opposition.
Jane! Stop this crazy thing!

Those battlepods are terribly cute. I assume/hope those will be available separately?

Yeah, I realize it looks a bit... off, but I had originally based this off of the design of the CIWS onboard US Navy vessels. They were often called an "excited" R2-D2. I noticed the oddity of it afterward, but kept it anyway as I think it's kind of funny.

And yes, they are available separately, so you can use them for whatever you wish!

erm... were these the ones that used GW parts originally? so it's probably more than just you, I'm sure the lawyers agree as well...

THe figs look kinda quirky and they're different, which is a good thing. It'd be nice to see what they look like painted up, but don't send them to one of those uber talented painter types. No, you should send them to an average mini painter so we can all see what an average joe paint job would look like on these little fellas, come to think of it, I've got a little free time at the mo'.  ;) ::) lol
