Sentinel Games: Total Extinction
« on: July 30, 2013, 08:53:03 AM »
Another Spanish company coming to miniature market, this time more specifically into ca. 28mm scifi one. Not much info about the company or the game yet but it looks to be a pretty familiar setting as scifi wargame universes go: divided humanity fights "bugs" and "Vorlons a mysterious high tech species". What minis they have on show look net enough for what they are tho.

Some beautiful concept art (the vehicles specially). And the 3d-printed models show promise in translating them to miniature form.

How will they start theit business? Indiegogo? Or the old way of steadily adding items to the store?

Great find! The Glorlon remind me of the Therians from the AT-43 universe.

But I really want to see this in plastic/resin/whatever:

T94 Tank

Yep so they do. But all the same it's sorta nice to see "bugs" that are tech users (even if they also seem to have the normal bug thing going with bioengineered castes, acid throwers and whathavethey).

The human vehicles do look promising. I get a degree of Governance of Technology vibe from them but it's not too bad a thing given how slowly Antenociti's own line is expanding.

I love the concept art...some of the soldiers make me think of Robotech cyclones, and that's not a bad thing....even the aliens remind me a bit of Sentinels from Robotech, also not a bad thing.  Sure can't wait to see the end result of these ideas and models.

The vehicle I'm looking forward to is this:


And regarding the game, this has been said by Sentinel Games on TTGN:

The release plan is a starter box with two armies (25 minis, including at least 2 vehicles) and expansion boxes of armies and units. We will start a Kickstarter in september/october, when we have the first protypes finished.

That would be in the comments sections of the TTGN advert entry, among the requisite critique from the "peanut gallery". I didn't bother reading the comments because of the said critiques tend to bore me no end.

I like it how the rep says SG don't want space fantasy and still have a species that's "pure energy" 8)

I really hope they go ahead it that Kickstarter  ;)

Ajsalium - the vehicle is really good looking. It reminds me of the Micropanzer Stoat Recon vehicle. But what I'm really looking forward is to this one:

The Hind helicopter certainly made an impression on sci-fi ship designers, didn't it?  ;)

A bunch of new(er) renders from SG on their Facebook. Lotsa bugs and a humies tank (the T-94 shown in a concept drawing above).

Some version of most of these can be found through their main page too.

Still waiting for a official announcement about their Kickstarter. I saw an interview with one of the owners where he mentions September  but there's no further info  :'(

If the quality holds true, I'll certainly swap out my Nids for those bugs.

And probably pick up some of those troops/vehicles.
