That doesn't  look like a 6mm game (which to me means micro armour). Sci Fi underworld says something cyberpunk to me.

Yes.  ;D And exactly like the kind of minis I have been making and painting for the past years. That plus Andrea Sfiligoi and the fact I liked most the games Osprey released, I will buy it in a heartbeat.

Edit: Damn, oct 2016. That's going to be loooong. :'(

Yes but I need (more of) your minis in 15mm!

The cover artwork and the subtitle give me the impression that it may be trying to pull in a lot of directions at once (anime/manga-style cyberpunk, gritty mega-city gang wars, AE Bounty-style alien shenanigans). But hey, it's all good! :)

I'd be very, VERY interested in seeing what figures North Star might make for this. I may have to adjust my own "science fiction underworld skirmish" project accordingly.

I was just saying in the ongoing thread about Heresy (where we got to talking about the sci-fi gang figures Heresy sells) that there needs to be a game that is to Necromunda what Frostgrave is to Mordheim. Could this be it?

I just hope it's not SoBH in yet another regurgitated form. But the aesthetic from the front cover is perfect.

What is SoBH?  o_o

Kinda reminds me of Frostgrave but sci-fi, too.

Song of Blades and Heroes. The ruleset that made Andrea Sfiligoi one of the (relatively) "big names" in rules design.
