(Kickstarter -Funded and 1 day left!) Wasteman!!!
« on: January 20, 2015, 01:33:22 PM »
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2032267828/wasteman-a-game-of-desperate-conflicts-in-a-desola

Wasteman is a frantic game, set amongst the ruins of a neglected and scorched Earth. Engage in desperate battles between post-humans, hideous monstrosities and killer robots over the dregs of an age of gluttony. Prepare yourself for the bizarre as you venture deep into a world of radioactive insanity. Prepare yourself for WASTEMAN.

Here we show just as few of the many miniatures available in our forthcoming kickstarter for Wasteman: a game of desperate conflicts in a desolate future.

First up we have Radical Trevor, the kickstarter exclusive figure. A man extradited from his lunar kin for his esoteric talents, destined for a lonely exile amongst the savage dregs of humanity.


The second is Big Boy from the Mangle Men Posse Pack. The descendant of genetically enhanced communist invaders, Big Boy is renowned for his love of exceedingly loud guns and Marxist literature.


Olga the Cruel from the Bandits Posse Pack is a notorious opportunist, leading a gang of cut throat cannibals on violent raids against unfortunate pilgrims.


Next up is the Titanotron, a huge lumbering robot originally designed to destroy any that dare desecrate the sovereign soil of the Americas. Now they are more likely to be found destroying those that dare leave no tip at Frankie’s burger bar.


It’s important to note that, although these figures have been named and given stat cards, there is an in depth syndicate creation system that gives you nearly complete control should you wish to design your own characters for your posse!  

Stay tuned for more updates!

Crikey! Liking them a lot. Any scale comparison say against a GW figure?

I am yet to sort out a scale comparison pic but there will be a few on the way. Suffice to say my figures are closer to 35mm than GW size so the humans will seem a bit big compared to them. Not ideal if you wanted to use the 'regular' people for something else but not a problem for monsters, mutants and robots (which over two thirds of the models will be).

I'm not that fussed as long as there's not too big a mismatch as people are all shapes and sizes.

Just noticed the bases. Any more pictures of them?

They're on average around 34-35mm tall so you should be ok against 40k. To be fair there are enough figures for them to warrant their own collection (over 60) so you should be ok for figures either way.

The bases actually have integral token slots to show the types of damage you could pick up along the way. I'll have some photos showing them off once i have the tokens fully finished. (The bright green ones in the pics are prototypes- the finished ones will be 3D to better differentiate and remove them.)

A few more previews today
Here’s a glimpse the M.A.D cards – an integral part of the game that really add to the crazy!


These are the stat cards that come with the Mangle men Posse pack. 
It’s worth noting that, although each set will come with pre determined stat cards, there is an extensive Posse creation system that will allow you to select your own skills and equipment. Blank stat cards will also be available!


And, of course, it wouldn’t be much of a preview without a few figures
This is Jimmy the fist. Boss of the Mangle men and renown Pugilist.


And we have Otto from the Bandits Posse pack – Otto has based his entire life to following the teachings of thrash metal. Of course these are limited to the pictures on record covers as he has no access to a turntable. 


Oh, and a sneaky peek at some activation tokens...

Ha! I like those tokens a lot.  8)  I'm not much into post-apoc, but you have some really nice stuff here.  Best of luck with the venture.

Hopefully March, but it's not confirmed yet as I still have a couple of things to sort out.

Time for some more previews!

An excerpt from the forthcoming Wasteman rulebook –
'Claws as big as a cow, shell as hard as steel, eyes glowing in the darkness and a scream that would make even the hardiest bandit piss himself, the Bugfoot is as terrifying as it is nauseating. Thankfully for the general population they are also incredibly rare, only climbing out of the depths when roused by foolhardy hunters, many of whom have spent their whole lives in search of the reportedly delicious beasts. Sadly for the hunters the feeling is mutual.'


And of course some miniatures:

Presenting the E-Liminator 5000, a robot programmed to KILL! But could it learn to love?
 No, probably not.


The real brains behind the Mangle-men, Fugly Betty is treated with fear and reverence. (Though this could just be because of the smell) 


And finally Mountain and Molehill from the Bully boys booster set, who love proving that two heads are better than none.


More updates soon!
