Aren't you doing rule testing and whatnot Scarletsquig? Come on, spill the beans mate

Ah yes I forgot about that, wonder if that's what it is? Certainly something like Dreadball or Deadzone would fit into a video game template pretty well.

^ Even I'm clueless on this one!

Video game would be awesome, can see Deadzone translating very well as a turn-based game.

Even Matt claims ignorance!

Deadzone would work on PC on the XCOM: Enemy Unknown engine as readily as XCOM would work on the tabletop with the Deadzone engine, but XCOM is already licensed to FFG

Yeah won't be xcom.

My heart cries for a Stargate game with mantics simple rules, but I dunno if anything is going in with that IP.

Stargate would be sweet.

Mass Effect could be cool too.

Or if Mantic started making Battletech minis based off of the Mechwarrior Online designs...

GoT seems unlikely, since someone else has the licence for miniatures. Darksword Miniatures, I think?

Garbage Pail Kids.



Or maybe Jupiter Ascending?

Catching Fire skirmish game , you actually set your least favorite mantic figures on fire. They took Feedback from old forum posts to heart, it's just taken them a while to get the license.

my wishes:

1. Gears of War

2. Edge of Tomorrow/All You Need is Kill/Live Die Repeat

whats reality:

Battletoads.

You laugh, but a Hunger Games type thing based on the Mantic rules could actually work really well. You'd need a slightly larget board than DZ, and max 2 minis per player (you could have multiple players, though). You build a character, have various weapons scattered over the map (some hidden, some revealed) and let the games begin. Last man or woman standing wins.

Just an excuse to buy te HF not-SG-1 minis?

Hey, don't knock Battletoads! That was a great game back in the day.

Particularly the epic Battletoads / Double Dragon crossover.

I hope not for Mantic's sake, the advance word seems to suggest that it is the next Battlefield:Earth.

I could buy those for pulp alley, just think the IP has a lot to offer.

True, it does. Only a few factions so you could keep it tight (I'm thinking humans, Jaffar and Goa'uld), but each would look and play very differently, so there would be plenty of variety. Stargates themselves could be interesting as mission focal points, and there would be plenty of environment/terrain options.

FFG currently has the GOW license and a game in production (albeit a board game that is heavy on the minis).

There's also the Atlantis friends and foes and the Lucian alliance depending on what time you pick. Orai too.

Ah, I never really got into Atlantis, and kind of lost track of SG1 before the Orai stuff really got going. But I shall retract my earlier statement and change it to 'there's loads of options for expansion!'. Either way, a Stargate game would be cool.

I have the Gears mini's from the FFG game, but I want someone to do the entire range, bloodmounts, brumarks, grinders/maulers, all the cogs, uir.

And not have it be gak heroclix

I can dream. T.T

edit:

just checked, Gears of War is no longer available by FFG.

You are correct and that is definitely a new thing. It was there back in november when I checked on getting a second copy during their 75% off sale and according to this post in their now "archived" forum (GOW doesn't show up as a forum in their current community lineup) even in January.

http://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/130949-gears-of-war-to-be-out-of-print-soon/

Maybe someone will pick it up eventually but I don't think it is Mantic just yet so it might be best to leave the speculation for a separate misc games thread.

Ya, I'd love to see mantic or hell, even GW to pick up the Gears of War range. Lots of opportunities with the universe. and everything is designed fantastically.

Marvel: Civil War.

I already have my teams!!

My first thought when I saw the Mordheim video game was "This woukd be excellent if it was Deadzone".

And when the flames died down, all that remained of the restic material was the mold lines...

I would play that game!

A fully fleshed Gears of War line would be great. That was the biggest travesty of the FFG version. It played well, it was tough, but they didn't get to the bigger, tougher, scarier stuff!

Also got my dbx round 2 stuff. I don't see Atlas (MVP guy) or Eclipse (one of the sponsors) in my bag of goodies. Are they for the final round of shipping, or am I stuck sending another missing parts query?

Really like the variety of MVPs though. There's quite a lot of shapes and sizes on display. Can't wait to have rules to actually use with them all! Still waiting for my dragon dude in the challenge cup though...

I wonder if they'll let us still add stuff to our orders. I meant to get the transparent teams and forgot to order them.

Eclipse is wave 3 with the remaining sponsors only Ardia Shi'lek made wave 2 no idea who you mean by Atlas though?

How DARE you discuss exciting SG1 factions and leave out the replicators. I spit at your feet, 'sir'.

That movie has at least one spaceship carrying a power armored dragonman. Those are literally the ingredients to the best movie ever, so how could they screw it up?

I was going to, I ran out of time to make my posts. It has been nagging me, so thanks for pointing that out. Probably one of the coolest bad guys they could do actually

Mantic to get the starcraft tabletop license please. Full hard plastic multipose ranges of terran, zerg and protoss. Skirmish with hero mechanics scaling to large scale battles. I'd drop so much cash on that it's not funny -_- Or video games of Mantics ranges, that would be fine too : )
