Like the big T2 reveal when the T800 was the good guy (Was a surprise in 1991!)
Exactly what I was thinking! Man, that would have given me hope that this new Terminator movie wasn't crap like the last two. Well, they have the Khalessi so maybe there's hope.

Pictures of the terrain to be included in the box set
Terminator Genisys
What's this, Terminators with Battle Systems terrain included in the box? I think it is )
Terminator Genisys The Miniatures Game (made by River Horse) is coming for Pre-order soon from Warlord Games and it includes some barricades designed and drawn by us in every box.
We spent some time peaking behind the scenes of the new film to get an inside look at the barricades that will be seen on the big screen. These cool terrain pieces not only look cool they can be stacked for full cover or separated to make two great barricades to shoot from.
Edited, not to get people's hope up

Now that's just bad form. You get everyone's hopes up with the first two photos, and then the real terrain turns out to be flat pieces with tabs so you can stand them up on one edge.

They are snap to fit. If it took longer than 30 seconds to snap 2-3 parts together it would be an issue.
It looks more like they are just having fun. SORRY FOR POSTING THE VIDEO JEEZ haha

The miniatures look good, the game play seems solid, and possibly innovative, and they have a great IP, and this is the second video they have produced about how fast and easy they are to put together, when that it likely the least important/relevant sales point to this product.

Miniature Wargamers does not always equal Boardgamers
there's an incredibly absurd BGG thread for Myth where it was non-stop complaining because a Kickstarter exclusive miniature was in metal instead of plastic.
Dreadball had board gamers confused because of needing glue to assemble the figures (one video review had the guy using the bodies because gluing on arms and heads was too much trouble)
Since the board game version of Terminator is being distributed to wholesale retail chains, it HAD to be snap fit easy assembly.
(fine for me, as I will also be getting the higher quality resin figs too)

Scale wise the T800 models look a little skinny and puny!
Would anyone have any photos of these standing beside a Necron Warrior model? Would definitely consider getting these as proxy Necrons if they looked right

They did a very good job with the likeness on the Kyle Reese mini. When I saw the zoomed in blister pic, the first thing that popped into my head was the actor in the upcoming movie despite the fact that I was incorrectly thinking of the original actor in the 1980's movie.

Seeing the humans all together on the table really highlights the scale inconsistencies. They really look like someone just dumped a bag of army men on the table.
Combined with the paintball field terrain, this looks terrible imho.

The humans should all be huddled behind any availabe cover, including each other. John Conner is standing right out in the open. There is no line of sight blocking terrain. There are soo many things wrong with this picture.
John Conner is a giant amongst men, he stands head and shoulders above the rest of humanity.
Making the human soldiers green, was probably a mistake. You can't help but think of green army men when looking at them.
There is no way that is what the enclosed paper gaming mat will look like, there is not a single fold line on it.
That is not $125 worth of board game.
I liked this game more, when I knew less about it.

Probably a good thing that's out of context. It's a limited edition resin cast for Salute. Afterwards it'll be like an $8 metal fig.

I think that about every time someone puts miniatures on display for people to photograph at a gaming event and the opposing armies are inches from each other.

Lol I did the same thing. But these are the Perry brothers we're talking about - who did most of the excellent LOTR sculpts. The Perrys are kinda some of the best sculptors for human infantry on the planet.

Necrons are pretty large - taller than a Space Marine model. T800 endoskeletons are the size of the skeletons inside a 6' tall man. One that is truescale 28mm as well.
So, no, I'd expect them to be a full head shorter than Necrons, if not more.
Board game version is £50/$75 - big box retailers only (from what I understand)
Wargame version w/ 128-page full color rulebook and metal Kyle Reese is £75/$110 - game stores only (currently available for preorder for anyone with a Warlord Retailer account)

Jason Clarke is 6'2" so I would actually expect the miniature to be larger than it actually is...

More pics showing Endoskeleton detail plus the resin Endos
Plus close-ups of resistance fighters
I am personally incredibly happy they went with truescale and not the weird 90's melon-head style (with ubiquitous weird shoulder pads).
Those resistance infantry have utility in nearly every 28mm modern-to-scifi miniatures game.

That is a hell of a sculpt in resin, but I will never buy it. Now, Michael Biehn Kyle Reese is another story, but there are already plenty of generic minis out there that look like this generic-face guy.
The resistance look good in the sprue shot, but the tabletop photos don't really do them any favors. Still, I think the Epirian Contractors just got out-bid.

I really look forward to dirty-drybrushing the hell out of like fifty of them.
Hmm didn't someone like Hasslefree do a not-Michael Biehn mini?

I don't know. I don't recall seeing a Michael Biehn mini that wasn't in Colonial Marine garb. However, I have seen several miscast resins that could stand in for Lance Henriksen's character.

I agree it's pricy but I'm really interested in the mechanics that have been previewed.
Plus I'm honestly going to buy a million miniatures, so even if the mechanics suck there's always BA/GoA or Warpath beta3...

Okay, so the Tech-Com don't look too bad. Certainly more actiony poses than what the endos have. I have relatively high hopes for the proposed k9 teams.
Still find it odd that they didn't give the endos the phased plasma rifles from T2.

I still find it odd that Terminator Genisys the movie exists at all in the first place, but I guess ask them, as the license is based solely on that property.

I'm almost positive someone somewhere made a mini of Tech-com Reese in the classic pose that Metal Gear ripped off.

i would love to paint a some of those highly detailed Endos...
the LE resin character is well done...
gotta love the Perry twins!!!
