The tactical humans look fine. It's just Karl the werewolf that bothers me from what I see so far.

I think I missed it, but was the material to be used mentioned anywhere at all?

Well, I know I'll for sure play using an Infinity Dog Soldier in place of Karl if I play as the humans. Hell, I'll probably just replace all of the humans with Infinity figures.

In my case, I have loads of SedWars minis I could swap in...

@gohkm - it was said to be "restic" (PVC) like SedWars / Zombicide.

Not resin, not hard styrene.

Thanks, mate. The models look fantastic, but the material is giving second thoughts.

Its PVC but its not the formula/mix that "restic" was made from its different to both the Sedition Wars and Zombicide "plastics" the manufacturer that made Sedition Wars is no longer being used.

Here's the Lust Controller



EDIT: and Remy's sculpt

http://remytremblay.sculpture.over-blog.com/article-lust-controller-125430642.html

I'm getting more and more excited about this! Any word on game play yet? Hopefully it will play like Zombicide because of GG involvement, the only reason I have not backed the Conan project is because it requires an overlord and I have no interest in that.

It looks great.

DaveC, those are indeed the pics with production minis I was talking about.

Will they show them in high res pics during the KS and not in tiny pics or nestled into artwork or stat cards, though? One of the bigger guys seems to have a bend base, which I'm okay with, if it is communicated/shown before that such a thing is possible. Just buy enough bases for possible replacements, no biggie.

I understand that painted resins look better and SELL the game better, but I want to see what I'll get, given that everything is at least prototyped. Otherwise I won't pledge. Except for the base game. That I'll have to get on potential alone

Sorry Binabik15 no idea at this time I would hope they will show close ups of the production miniatures given they are done, if not I'll certainly talk to someone who can do something about it

The bases are part of the miniature they aren't separate everything is one piece so you can play straight out of the box. If for some reason you get some warping just put them in hot water to straighten them - it's not ideal and shouldn't be necessary or required but it's usually a quick fix. The warping usually occurs when they pull them from the mold without cooling/setting them enough first.

It was my understandign that the onyl " others" mini that had been prototyped was the Pride avatar?? I readily admit I woudl nto be surprised at all if they did indeed already have a lot of these prototyped but I though tthe pieces they showed at Gen Con 2014 were all resin masters except fro PRide?

Resin painted and production to the rear (I had this confirmed privately last August - I just checked the email again to be sure )



As Binabik15 pointed out the Gluttony Avatar has a warped base which is unlikely in resin and is more common in PVC and the miniatures at the back are a bit smaller (and not just because they are further away )

Yeah... first time I'm actually excited about (rather, hoping for) double sculpts in the KS, since it'll give me a lot of fodder for other systems too.

I hope they have a pledge level just for the Pride mini.

That is a shockingly good reproduction of the original sculpt. Far better than the SedWars stuff.

From my experience with Dust models and hot water, nah, I'll just cut every warped base off and mount it on a plastic base. Too many things have slowly (some quickly!) warped themselves back after a hot water bath, so I've given up on this as a fix.

I'm actually not really worried about quality, just transparency when it comes to the minis. I have enough Dust stuff to know what to expect if it is done with similiar (the same?) material in the same facilities. And as someone doing full miniature sculpts for myself I'm simply a sucker for big pics of unpainted stuff with textures and volumes done by pros to maybe yoink an idea or two, so thanks for bothering them about it

2 - 5 players, 1 player controls the Others and the Hell club, the other players control Alpha team. It doesn't look likely that there is a 1 player option whether Co-op or AI for the other side.

The push for Co-op play is really a terrible trend, and I'm glad to see that the Others isn't catering to it. Co-op presumes a mindless opponent (e.g. zombies, weather), not an intelligent foe. An intelligent opponent needs a player pulling the strings.

That's a shame as I really like to play co-op with my son. I may still jump in as these miniatures look amazing!

Im really confused as to how Tentacles = Pride

Swarm of demonic lions would have made more sense.

Color me interested, but i'll wait until the production version reviews before i jump into it, love the monster design though.

To be fair though, the bulk of CMON's games haven't been co-ops, with the exception really of Zombicide, and even there we've been seeing competitive elements creep into that as well in the latest iteration.

I think co-op is something that a lot have been clamoring for in the dungeon crawl arena of games.

Too many of us got stuck playing overlords to wimpy gamers who always wanted the heroes to win, and never got to be the heroes ourselves.

On the plus side, when you get pretty good at playing Consul / Overlord / Keeper, you usually do pretty well at playing Heroes when it's time to switch sides...

Insist on people taking turns as the Evil Overlord / Dungeon Keeper!

Is this a CMON project?

From what I understand of it, it's a specific monster that infects a person who's major sin is Pride. Or something like that.

Right, but all the monsters tend towards tentacles and foldy skins. The designs are neat, but if you showed me wrath and pride, and didn't tell me which was which, I wouldn't be able to guess.

Here's lust (spoilerd b/c could be slightly NSFW):



Notice the lusty saggy breasts and the elongated vaginal mouth. Oh yeah, and the tiny babies sucked into the gut.

Gluttony:



This one is pretty obvious.

And here's Envy:



Here's the art for Wrath:



So I think some of them are better at relaying their sins than others.

I think Pride has always been one of the harder ones to visualize.

Maybe for Pride they took a look at the Landon Cobb Ego from futurama and liked the face tentacle things:
