Open Architecture and clear guidelines for building any kind of war band you want with figures you want to use…anything is possible in Nowhere!

I have to say that is also pretty critical for me too. I've long been after some rules that'll allow warbands of 20-30 minis, some I realy hope they get all the balancing correct on this one.

I have to say that I'm really looking forward to checking this out, it might even get me gaming again!

Oh and hi Andy, nice to see you here too.

In my day you actually had to paint your own miniatures too!

It is not exactly the same painting figures than design and print cards to play with them. Tha's another step not much related to the hobby IMHO, and rather inconvenient for me at least

I'm only joking - you won't need to design your own cards. Each of the cards is labelled 'Side A, Master 1', 'Side B, Shootists 3' etc, so you just need to assign a card to a unit or character.

That's good news for me, and my interest in the rules has just returned

Ha ha! I actuall enjoy the "making cards" type aspects of the hobby. When I was a kid I was fascinated by top trumps, fighting fantasy adventurer sheets etc moving on to roster sheets and all sorts. I'm sure I'm not the only one that probably spent more time making up imaginary warbands than playing with them!

In my day you had to actually make a lot of your own figures. :~}

Painting was optional but usually gloss enamels.

Lots of "ancient" figures using Airfix Robin Hood sets with drawing pins impaled into them as round shields etc.

Gone a bit quiet about the release of this one, but some new images of different models:

A little bit of fiction/fluff also:

Still no more details about how the game works unfortunately. Discussion still points to this being a Fantasy game of similar scope to Saga.

One shot of those guys and their loveably whimsical dietary habits has me hooked. It's been a long time since I've seen a monster that successfully captures the feeling of a childhood boogyman.
I look forward to this!

They remind me of something that belongs in the 'Trapdoor' series (best gothic horror series ever inflicted on small children!)

Sounds (and looks) verrry promising!

I had totally forgotten Trap Door - thanks for the memories!
