CMON makes tabletop game with miniatures for Song of Ice and Fire

[Captain Blood]

The figures look really good, but I don't like the ultra deep relief of the embossed heraldry on the shields

Not sure I'm a fan of that either. Luckily, that will be one of the easiest things to change.

Me three. File under "Taking the joke too far."

Still, there's gonna be some good stuff to pluck from the mix, if the scale is in the ballpark.

[Captain Blood]

So will this be a Blood Rage style Kickstarter do we suppose? Or a straight to market regular retail offering?

Both.

KS for the Stark vs Lannister starter set, Retail releases after that.

I am curious about the KS... I am sure this one will raise boatloads of cash, so they are bound to 'unlock' all kinds of stuff, no?

I'm definitely interested, but a bit worried about the scale of the miniatures.
Dark Swords Ice and Fire miniatures are 32mm, but these models look nothing like them. Are CMON games usually 28mm or 32mm?

I think it's anyone's guess at this point. But there's a business logic for each scale.

Interesting video and description of game play up on BGG. Look at the scale of these minis relative to the speakers hands and tell me what you think. Granted it's Jaime and the Mountain, but my eye says 32mm. But I suck at estimating size, volume, distance, etc. Not my superpower.

90 figures in the starter box!!

Second starter directly to retail!

[Elbows]

While somewhat intriguing I don't think I see anything that stands out...I like some of the SOIF projects here better using random historical miniatures.  Perhaps the game will be outstanding, but from a miniatures standpoint I'm not sure I see too much to get excited about.  It is unfortunate that these'll probably be out of scale with the Perry's etc.

Look pretty good to me, better than most stuff available even if they are one piece. Considering they are "board game" figures, they are superb.

[CaptainHaddonCollider]

Agree with Nord, compared to most other boardgame or miniature game miniatures they look pretty good. The game mechanics are a bit vague at this point, but with about 100 models in the box I'm thinking there should be enough models to play any of the other modded rulesets out there if they turn out to be less than impressive.

[Munindk]

Lots of great information, but I'd still really really like to know what scale the models are.

Using the models with other rules is a great idea and they sure look gorgeous, but if the models are heroic 32mm that'll make GW Chaos Warriors look puny, they become a lot less attractive (at least to me).

[CaptainHaddonCollider]

Agreed, but looking at the seize of the box and the number of miniatures, I'd wager they can only fit so many models if they keep them within a reasonable scale. Although, Dark Sword already have a huge range of 32mm's. I'm waiting for some scale pics as well!
