Thanks for the heads up! Grabbed a few Helldorado minis to fool around with.

Helldorado kickstarted a while ago to try and relaunch, but it didn't go very big. It's a pity, as the models were often very characterful and cute. I think Malifaux basically ate its lunch.

Well, the Imperial Sentinel Human is one of my favorite miniatures of all time, and $2.75 is a steal, but with shipping not so much. Is anyone in SoCal planning to put in an order soon? If so, can I piggy back on yours for a couple sentinels and half the shipping?

Wait.. Hell Dorado wasn't already discontinued? I thought that and Anima were axed a long time ago.. !!!! This is good news.. and.. simultaneously bad news :/

They were. Mid 2015 they replied to members on those games' forums. They aquired the line, but never did any casting. They just sold the existing stock.

Yeah, I'm also curious if anyone in Portland is interested in making an order.

<<<<<RANT INCOMING>>>>>>>

I'd like to extend a big thank you to Soda Pop for not doing anything to help me out when I purchased some Anima Tactics around the time of the Cipher/ Ninja Division merge.

I had gotten a brand new starter set for Anima Tactics that had two whole figures and a pile of random misplaced parts that I still have no clue what they go to, as there were no other bodies in the box.

I contacted them and their answer was basically, "Oh well. Suck it up. Too bad. Doesn't matter we're carrying it or not"

And did nothing about it. No replacement, no credit, no attempt to work with me.

LAME.

Plus while I like Hell Dorado's sculpts, they NEVER wanted to glue together for me. They were some seriously fiddly models for me. Pins and multitudes of glue later most of mine are put together, some even painted, but the memory of trying to get them to assemble has never been forgotten.

<<<<<<END RANT>>>>

All that out of my system I'll probably check out what they've got left. Certainly not Augustinus Raimond, who has eluded me for quite some time.

That sucks.. I have similar feelings about metal MERCS models.. super fiddly..

The Immortals were exceptionlly fiddly, but the Demons were nice to work with.

It's a shame hopefully someone picks up the rights to the figures, they are gorgeous.

That is quite possibly the worst crossover set they could have made.

Instead of throwing in 2 Clans, which people might like (and play in a NAS league), it's 2 sets of generic Ninja with unrelated Clan giants.

If you wanted to join into a NAS League, you'd still have to buy Clans to be competitive.

What SPM should have done is simply structured the Clan boxes as SDE Warbands, throwing in the SDE cards, and be done with it.

it does seem an odd choice,

I suspect it also means that SDE eastern themed stuff is now officially on a back burner

But as someone who didn't get in on NAS, it looks pretty tempting, especially when online discounts start getting applied to it.

I don't see it so much as a crossover as I do a Super Dungeon expansion, because like you said, if people are going to play NAS, they're going with specific clans.

The thing is, if Clans had been the crossover, then buying a cool Clan (or two) for SDE means you'd be all set to play NAS.

Rather than buying this, and then NAS (for the board and rules) and then the Clans you'd need.

And if this wasn't supposed to be a crossover, then why bother? After all RRI doesn't cross over.

From a product planning standpoint, it makes no sense to me.

Faust’s Devils are a troublemaking trio cast in high quality resin for the Cerci Speed Circuit faction in Relic Knights. Brawny and hostile, Faust’s Devils are menacing minions capable of swift attacks that will leave opponents seeing stars. Faust’s Devils are a particularly unique addition to Relic Knights, allowing Cerci players to use a powerful, offensive transformation of one of the Devils to deal devastating damage to those who defy Asger.

The newest chapter in the Relic Knights saga continues with a premium collector’s line of resin hobby models. Expanding the game with new, exciting characters and rich gameplay, each Relic Knights model is expertly cast to capture the dynamic anime aesthetic of the Relic Knights universe. Faust’s Devils are incendiary figurines waiting to set the world ablaze in full-on tabletop battles!

Rhouss Fixer is a scrappy nomad that commands impressive technical skill and tactical offense, making it an asset to any team.Rhouss Fixer is a unique addition to Relic Knights, allowing Radiant cadres to launch powerful supportive and offensive attacks that truly demonstrate the Rhouss’s resolve to persevere.

The next chapter of Relic Knights is coming!

The purpose of 1.5 is to share the novel developments in Relic Knights and to serve as a testing period in preparation for the new releases planned for later this year and into the next. With dynamic new models, characters, game play options, and updated rules, we hope you all will feel as excited as we are about the expansion of this colorful world and its wide range of characters!

Highlights include: changes to victory conditions, which address balance issues between players; changes to defensive actions that should make the game more energizing and action-packed; and changes to how squads take damage from forced movement, which should grant them greater endurance for extended play. Thank you to all the Relic Knights fans out there. Welcome back to the last galaxy!

Female Dante, Vergil, and.... male Lucia? Not sure who that other guy is supposed to be.

And Ratchet!

Looks like they addressed most of the main issues with V1 of the rules:
*Linked (now addressed with "Placeholder" cards)
*Guard/Redirect
*Collision and falling damage
*VP amounts for Relic and Questing Knights
*Some Victory Conditions

Held Esper also is reduced to one, which should make things a little more difficult to pull off.

Well done Ninja Division. The idea overall was great, and I think with the above changes, this game could be great. I only wish this came out two years ago....

Nice figures coming out. I especially like the Not-Ratchet.

Ninja Division and Seven Seas Announce Joint Venture,

Shinobi 7, and Upcoming Tokyo Ghoul Game



Ninja Division Publishing™, LLC and Seven Seas Entertainment™, LLC are proud to announce the formation of a new joint venture game company, Shinobi 7. Combining Ninja Division's expertise in superior quality game design with Seven Seas' know-how in license acquisition and curation, Shinobi 7 will focus on producing tabletop games that are based on hit anime, manga, and pop culture brands.


"I'm absolutely thrilled about our partnership," says Seven Seas Publisher Jason DeAngelis, who will act as Shinobi 7's CEO. "Ninja Division is a groundbreaking company that has created a new category of chibi-style games. They are experts at what they do, and have earned the respect of the gaming community. Combined with Seven Seas' licensing capabilities, Shinobi 7 is well-positioned to acquire and curate licenses and make high quality games."


Shinobi 7's new games will join Ninja Division's lineup of breakout brands such as Super Dungeon™: Explore, currently produced in four languages with sales of over 100,000 core games and more than half a million expansions. Ninja Division Publishing will oversee marketing, promotions, sales, warehousing, and fulfillment for all Shinobi 7 products.


"I'm very excited about the potential this joint venture creates for both companies," says Ninja Division Partner Kai Nesbit, who will act as Shinobi 7's President. "As the leading independent manga publisher in North America, Seven Seas has a tremendous amount of experience and expertise in licensing and publishing content from Japan. Together, our joint venture will bring a fresh perspective to the game market."


This fall, Shinobi 7 will launch its first title: Space Dandy Galactic Deck-Building Game. As seen on Cartoon Network's ADULT SWIM™, Space Dandy is a hit anime series created by legendary director Shinichiro Watanabe, best known for his work on the anime Cowboy Bebop. The game contains over two hundred cards, forty star tokens, player boards, and a full-color rulebook. Space Dandy Galactic Deck-Building Game will be available in retail stores Q4 2016, and will list at $49.99.


Shinobi 7 currently is also working on the following games, scheduled for launch in 2017:


Tokyo Ghoul, a deck-building game, adapted from the hit anime franchise about an alternate reality where monstrous ghouls and humans coexist.

Strike Witches, a miniature-based board game, adapted from the anime of the same name, that pits a team of flying girls with advanced weaponry in dogfights against an invading alien force.


Spice and Wolf, an economy-based board game about traveling merchants peddling their wares, based on the hit anime franchise of the same name.

Strike Witches?

I never would have expected that!

Can't wait for the KanColle follow-up!

I knew there was a reason MCB was working on a Monster Musume cosplay, and kept linking to both Seven Seas and Ninja Division. I imagine there will be a game/miniature line featuring that property soon.

If we get a Monster Musume game, that would be awesome!

Indeed Strike Witches would be an interesting boardgame

although soda pop have not shown they can match the skills CMON have with human sized minis, and in fact moved to resin for the new relic knights stuff at least in part because of it

also a new relic knight mins floated past the group on facebook (on a 50mm base, not clear if minion or unique)



and

I really like that medic. Part of Black Diamond I'm guessing.

A future Monster Musume game would be so cool. I would totally pick it up. Definitely interested in the strike witches board game.

Spoiler:

Be still, my heart. I've been asking for a SDE or KD Miia styled Lamia for forever! As unlikely as anything Monster Musume would get miniatures... I still hope.

Considering they made minis of their Tentacle Bento game, I wouldn't be too surprised if they made a few for a Monster Musume game(if they make one that is).

Marie Claude's Rachnera came out rather well.

Was she just stuck there the whole time?

Pretty much, but she sculpted herself a seat in it for comfort.
