Sentinel Games: Total Extinction

[YPU]

They will be massive in 15mm, no? 

You know this thing might indeed be an interesting base for a Bolo like tank for 15mm. Sure it will be huge and some details would need to be removed so that they don't betray the actual scale. (smoke launchers, hatches and PDW's) But the whole four diferent tracks thing looks like it would scale up great. The side hatches look like they would reach groun when open so that would work for 15mm. hmm, very tempting but I'll just wait until there are pictures of the actual thing from some of you guys before I spring on this one.

The Sentinel Games: Total Extinction starter set is about 7 k shot of being funded but is slowly moving along.
There is free exclusive female recon captain miniature for any backers at Captain level or above who pledge before  6 November. Captain level is the Starter set level in the Kickstarter.
There is talk of a UC VTOL Aircraft add on further down the track in the kickstarter, this reminds me of a futuristic Hind style aircraft, looks promising.

hm, I have decided to do sci-fi in 15mm only but that tank is still looking good. EU shipping at the 8euro mark for whatever ad ons you pick actually doesn't sound bad at all. I might decide to spring for one. Are there any prototype pictures of that yet?

No prototypes, just renders for the vehicles.

Hm, feared as much. The renders look a bit soft. Taking a closer look not that many corners are rounded or the like but the overall miniature picture still looks that way for some reason. I noticed the video of the painted alien but that thing is all organic so rounded corners or soft details don't show up that much.

The Beta Rules are now available to download:

They'll post the units stat cards shortly. I'll post the link here when they become available.

Just wondering, but as it's a Spanish company why is it operating as a UK limited company with a London virtual office?

Some Bizentine Kick starter rules.

Yep, to do a Kickstarter you need a fiscal address in the UK or the US. If you don't want to have one, you need to use Indiegogo.

Well, this KS is definitely in a bit of a trouble now. It was in the doldrums for 2 weeks and then got hit by a withdraw wave no doubt very largely inspired by Prodos' AvP (since there's been fairly little complaining about the actual product in the KS comments):

Maybe SG manages to make some changes in the stretch goals that will inspire new people to on board. It still has time on its side but then again it doesn't mean much if the net intake falls into tens of £s.

I don't know why this isn't doing better. Both the aliens and the humans are neat concepts and the space hind looks like it would be awesome! The other races that would come afterward are all neat as well. Hope something kicks it back into high gear

Ahhhh, thanks.

Here are the missing bits for download:

Army Lists

Tactical Card

I'll try and playtest them, but I'm not sure when I'll have the free time to do it.

For me it's a no go because they can't answer the question of what material to use.  The pledge prices are more than I would like to pay for the chance they'll come out in PVC.  If they guaranteed hard plastic I'd be in.

[madzerker]

I agree with that, I don't want restic crap. I am hoping they will be the nice resin that a lot of small Polish and English companies are using now days. (warzone from prodos, darklands from mierce, and a bunch of smaller boutique companies all use a really nice resin that has no bubbles)

Today they showed the size comparisons of the tanks versus the infantry, they look big! I was a little worried the tanks weren't going to be big enough.

The apc concept art they showed yesterday was really neat. IF the material is good quality I am actually really looking forward to this for a more hard sci fi feel. I have warzone for my pulpy sci fi but this will feed my need for hard(er) sci fi. I know that AVP is out there now but I just don't care for the aliens. (I like the movies just feel no need to game it, I know I am in the minority here haha)
