And the last load of the previewed exclusive resins to be released, including The Preacher:

Sedition Wars...

So much potential...

So much hope...

All gone now...

...like tears in rain....

Yeah,
If anyone wants to buy a copy of sed wars biohazard PM me.
UK based.

Also 1 of every extra character during the kickstarter.
Spare set of baby drones.

Panic...

Some of those look quite good. But expensive in resin... are they limited edition as well, or what do you mean by "exclusive"?

I actually picked up three boxes on clearance at miniaturemarket. I like the figs from the main set, I just wish that all these new things weren't limited edition $$$$$$ grabs. I'm using the strain to be my plague guys for Deadzone and might use the humans as corporation guys for warpath.

Anyone wanting to unload lots of stuff for cheap let me know via pm. It's got to be cheap though.

Exclusive in Resin - these will probably be PVC'd for the expansion, so if you like them but can't stand PVC, get them in resin or you'll end up with no thumbs when you do get them

I have a whole biohazard set for sale too, US based PM me if interested!

I bought into the game thinking I'd use the figures for a high tech guard army and the others for demons.. but I just don't really play 40k these days. No time to paint up new armies anymore let alone play with them.

That said I do think they game has potential, but they really need to turn it into a regular old skirmish with freebie rules like Infinity.

more people selling than want to buy. What does that say?

If I am interested in buying any more from this line it is metal or resin only, yet resin are LE in small quantities.

I think mike was better off keeping SedWars small at first. Perhaps keep them in metal and resin, small little rule set. If the time ever came where it got big enough he could start producing them in HIPs.

oh well. more money towards other things.

Interested to see how a second KS will perform. Considering all the complaints I could not imagine it doing better. But I have seen more than enough people who bitch and moan about CMON or KS in general and 9 times out of 10 I see them in the next one.

I'd be in on the next one honestly. I didn't have nearly the problem with the main game models most people seem to have. I won't be buying anything that's an add-on likely like promo figures since I did have a problem with them but I'd probably back at a standard level an expansion. Lots of good stuff came out of SW. Just not as much as we wanted or how

I would be in (no problems with most of the 1st KS stuff except a few of the exclusives),

and they've given me the solo rules I wanted too

but I don't actually like the look of most of the bounty dogs so depending on how the set breaks down I probably won't find enough value in it... (but I may well try an get hold of the strain in whatever plastic they use)

Yeah, it's interesting. The sculpts are technically well done, and some of them are outstanding. But there are a lot of design misfires in this batch - moreso than in the original Sedition Wars - according to my personal taste. Others may differ, which is fine, but I found the bounty dogs largely disappointing (only loved Ashar), and a good number of the Strain sculpts compromised by awkward posing or incongruous breasts. What's good in the set is really good, but I'm not seeing $150 worth of KS pledge in it right now.

I'm not really sure what to make of the Bounty Dogs: I like some of them, but feel like others feel a bit outside of the SW aesthetic. I think it'll only be clear once we see the whole pack.

On the other hand, I'm hugely excited to paint the preacher, it's a gorgeous model with a ton of detail that's hard to notice in pics including some cool interior details (already got my hands on one), and generally looking forward to the release, with plastic for the basic firebrand infantry, since I don't have any need for basic guys to be great casts.

The Cthonian Assault Drone is available in beta form over on the SMV site. If you've got feedback before it's finalized, there'll be a couple weeks before it goes to layout, and I'll be checking the SMV forum and here.

No action in this thread re SW for 3 months, and suddenly something new... I had thought that SW had died a natural death...

FYI, miniaturemarket.com has the base set on deal of the day for $22.00.

Well worth it for the bases alone, and some of the figs are worth it.

I just noticed. This unit is a Mech-mounted wrist watch.

That is funny.

And even with that, they still couldn't get rid of them... word of mouth goes a long way in wargaming and it just seems everyone has heard that it is unplayable and the models aren't worth the effort of cleaning.

I considered it for the bases, but it looks like the 25mm only has four variants. They do look good, though, and that would've been under $0.50 a base.

Depends what your using them for. I love the strain models, easily used for chaos cultists, either Nurgle or techno horde armies (twisted warsmiths infecting the population of a world with the virus that makes obliterators....these are just the failed experiments). The humans from the main box are okay, I had heard it was all the wave two stuff where they changed the material and had shrinkage was where people had problems. They could make for a decent guard army from a different world than typical guard you see, and for the price easy conversion bait.

I haven't even looked at the rules, but all the sets I've bought have been from clearance or people dumping their KS orders.

Thought about getting a few more sets, but I'm flooded with them as I am right now.

I'm going to grab a copy for my cousin... eventually. I found the rules to be servicable reading through them, but I haven't gotten a game in yet... having owned it for quite some time. I haven't even finished building my set!

The kid however has time and not much of a mini collection, and the patience to sit their and whittle away at flash and mold lines.

I have a funny feeling that we'll see a steeper markdown for the game during Black Friday.

Regular price seems to be $29.00, at least according to the copy I left in my MMarket shopping cart after the fact.

I'd still like to see the eventual new box- the new baddies were more my taste.

It wasn't just shrinkage. They deliberately changed the scale of the human models for wave 2, when McVey found he couldn't get the same sculptors as had done the box set minis.

There should be a huge market for these models for Mantic games players.

Theyre far better than any corporation or zombie models that exist for Deadzone/Warpath.

That's all I would use mine for, or with generic rulesets. There is not really enough weapons for the Vanguard to get a good variety of Imperial weapons to make them into Imperial Guard, unless you just need them to be generic infantry squads with some counts-as special weapons. Strain would make excellent rethemed Chaos plague zombies, though.

I am still wondering and lamenting how I could get anything near what I bought them for from the Kickstarter (even half would be nice). My first foray, and it pretty much scared me away from any other Kickstarters. I probably would have bought into Deadzone is not for Sedition Wars.

Other than there fantasy Zombies, everything is better than Mantic's models.

I'm not even a fan of their Zombies.

I mostly got Seditions Wars hoping the planned table top version would be good, but I get enough use out of the models with Tomorrow's War that I'm not sure I really need official rules for them.

Excuse the long necro, but it is relevant.

Looks like Sedition Wars has finally had it after a long drawn out demise. I checked the Studio McVey forums the other day and noticed that they were closing the forums. As part of the announcement, there was mention that there will are no more Sedition Wars releases planned for the foreseeable future. Alas, I can't get the full announcement as it looks like the forum has now been deleted!

So, while possible it may make a return, it will be at some very distant point in the future and will probably be a very different shape. So there we are, it looks like quite a sorry end to a sorry saga. I think Alpharius put it best:

Damn. It never lived up to its potential. Should have been huge.

The forum will be open until the 29th of February. It's had some intermittent server issues over the last few days due to increased traffic but it should be back later or I'll chase it up. So if you want any information from it get it now as it won't be rehosted once the forum is switched off when it's gone it's gone.

I spoke to Mike 2 weeks ago about this and it was decided to close the forum due to the low usage levels it just doesn't justify the costs of keeping it open any longer. He has no plans to release any Sedition Wars stuff or any SMV limited resins in 2016. The SW follow up stuff is moth balled and is unlikely to see release (better to write off the cost now than put more money that may not see any return). Mike's just not interested in doing another game anymore.

SMV is working on the miniatures for at least 2 other games right now. Mike would rather just concentrate on making miniatures in future as this worked out much better for him with Blood Rage, The Others and Zombicide Black Plague.

Ah that's too bad. I was at a con last weekend and there was a brand new, sealed copy of Sedition Wars on the bring and buy stand for £15 and I'm pretty sure it went unsold (I have two copies myself plus some extra tiles otherwise I would have picked it up myself). It is such a shame the project went the way that it did.

The models were sooooooo nice but the medium not so much! The quality of the rest of Sedition Wars was great (minus the rules if course), it had so much potential only to fall flat on it's face!

If Mike could of got the minis done again in a different medium (not resin and his post KS resin prices were a joke!) and the rules redone he could of breathed new life into it.
