Rogue star ,osprey sci fi skirmish rules

[eilif]

Late October for release.

Andrea had mentioned force sizes on Northstars Facebook post about the upcoming rules. 

Thanks for the confirmation.  5 months seems like a long time, but I'm sure it'll be here soon.

Couldn't see Andrea's response - what sort of force sizes was he mentioning? I'm excited for this.

Apparently 3-6 models per side.

[Jagannath]

Wow - is be interested to see a ruleset that isn't boringly crunch but handles that few models well. That's ideal for me!

Apparently 3-6 models per side.

For me this sound like a system for 40mm Figures. This is very small amount of figures. Maybe Inquisitor was in his mind...

Is it possible that he wasn't thinking of any other ruleset and just wanting to write a set of really small scale fun rules for sci fi?!!

To be honest, and this isn't aimed at you NurgleHH, but I keep seeing people saying that games are going to be new versions of "X,Y or Z" which is unfair to the chaps writing the rules and the people who read that and think someone knows more about the system than them.

I have seen so many people ask questions of Frostgrave because they expected it to be Mordheim for example.

Andrea is a well established rules writer now, in the main his rule systems cater for small skirmish level games, so no more than say 15-20 when you push it. There are some which are more expandable but I would say the majority are aimed at around 10 models a side if that.

I did state earlier in this thread and elsewhere that it most likely wouldn't be like Necromunda going on his previous rules. But they will be great, because all of his previous rule sets have been solid.

4-6 models per side suits me perfectly! Excited to find out more.

First sculpts previewed on Facebook:

We're making these figures to go with the book, but like Frostgrave, they are not THE figures you have to use to play. In fact the world of Rogue Stars is too big for one little range to cover.

Interesting variety of sculpts there.  Reminds me of the "alien federation" stuff from CP Models.

That is some cool stuff??

[Dentatus]

Those are keen. I'll have to add those to my misfit eclectic collection of random sci fi figures.

I'm looking forward to this release. I have so many figures for this sort of thing it's sickening.
