[KICKSTARTER] Rising Sun by CMON

Less than a day in and almost at $1.5 million 

Really liking the sculpts for this, though I will admit I haven't read anything about the gameplay yet. CMON always seems to put out good product though, so this seems like a worthwhile project to back. Have to wait a year though...











and some monsters...









Note that all the monsters in grey are to scale with the yellow human in the bottom picture.

 I noticed this the otherday.The figures look really nice and it looks like Adrian Smith art work too.

It is. Adrian Smith art. Mike McVey miniatures and Eric Lang rules.

I dont think i can resist this one. Lovely figures.
As it went online yesterday morning the kickstarter servers crashed. By the time they were back online Rising Sun was already funded. 19 stretch goals were reached in 24 hours.

Lovely sculpts and an amazing amount raised already. Will be interesting to see what else turns up.

For the readers here who got the Blood Rage game - how did most find the production plastics turned out compared to the resins previewed in the campaign?

[Duncan McDane]

Ok enough for the human-sized models. CMON-models really shine with the big guys, though

I was impressed.

The spears are a major pain as most of them were bent but the detail is REALLY good considering the material.
As mentioned above the human sized ones are good, the monsters are most excellent.

Nice minis. I was especially taken by their not-Godzilla!

Does anyone know what size the models are? Are they compatible with anything else? (Like my gaming collection in 28mm  )

Assuming same as blood rage, they are 30-32mm truescale sized (e.g. thinner and taller than most manufacturers).

Not really comparable with most miniatures.

Would fit with any minis released in previous CMON games, such as Zombicide & blood rage, probably scale ok with Avatars of War figures as they are pretty big and lanky but style wise, not really.

[Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye]

Not sure what you mean by "combatible"? The size is similar to Reaper and Bronze Age though the proportions might be slimmer. But then most people are not the same proportion either. I know many wargamers want all their figures the same height (even the females!) but myself I am getting over it. The only argument that still holds water for me is things like rifles are preferable the same size even if the humans carrying them are not. Foundry's Vikings and Street Violence ranges were refreshing when they first came out because of the size variety. My 2 cents...

With Zombicide: black plague, Massive darkness, blood rage and this game, CMON are getting to the point where you could almost have an entire collection at this size of gaming figure, a few more mini games in the same scale from CMON and they could have an entire fantasy universe covered. You could have course have to resign yourself that they would all be boardgame plastic though.

Village attacks looks to be a similar scale too, which would be nice, a bunch of villagers for use in a fantasy setting using CMON figures.

Thanks guys. If I buy such a game I like to recycle minis also when gaming with my other collection. If they fit Bronze Age Minis, then they fit also with Confrontation and my Hasslefree-Stuff, which is great!

Thanks.

hang on confrontation & hassefree?
hasslefree is tiny in scale?
confrontation should work relatively well certainly.
