Nazi Germany declares war on Europe and its army is unstoppable. Prodigious beings appear on the battlefields to support the Wehrmacht's efforts: flying men shower flames upon the enemy; women wearing iron masks punch through tank armour; bloodthirsty beasts devour entire regiments. The world is about to succumb to the might of the Third Reich.
Aaron Spiegelmann, a Jewish scientist who escaped from Mauthausen concentration camp, is the Allies' only hope of stopping the Nazis. Spiegelmann is the genius who created the Wunderkammer, a new technology that allowed the Germans to create real superheroes with extraordinary powers. With his guidance, the US army launches Project H.O.P.E. in order to produce their own genetically modified humans to be deployed on the battlefields.
As WW II rages on and every army creates its own Meta-Humans and war machines, Natural Prodigies, unscrupulous Adventurers and even Warlocks' secret enclaves step into battle. From European battlefields to Pacific waters, a conflict like never before is unleashed and spreads with no boundaries: humanity will forever remember it as the first War of Wonders.




War of Wonders Miniature Game is a 30mm strategic skirmish game set in a grim alternative WW II where Meta-Humans, Warlords, Prodigies, Adventurers and Machine Men fight alongside the Axis and Allied armies for victory on the battlefield. In War of Wonders you can re-enact WW II battles, deploying superheroes with unbelievable powers to lead your troops or create your own personal scenarios.

War of Wonders Miniature Game is based on Project H.O.P.E. Rpg by authors Simone Fini and Riccardo Giuliani, published by Limana Press.

This actually looks quite interesting.

The miniatures will be metal for those interested and there will be EB pledges.

Hello All
thanks to Ernster for opening this thread, I'm here to introduce myself and to show something more on this upcoming game, War of Wonders MG.
My name is Alessio and i'm the art director of this project, made by Limana Games, an Italian printing company, specialized on Rpgs, sci-fi novels, card games and, from now on, wargames.
War of Wonders is based on our main roleplaying game, Project H.O.P.E. an uchronic story based on WWII era and inspired by Golden Age Comics.
We added more "dark" nuances on the plot, including dark magic, esoteric powers and artifacts.
If you like Invaders (and Cap) and Hellboy you'll be in the right place.
War of Wonders Miniature Game is the skirmish game related to Project H.O.P.E. so it has the same background and flavour. It will be a fast paced skirmish game fitted for small gaming tables (36"x36" or 48"x48"). Miniatures will be casted in white metal except for large figures, some limited edition figures and accessories which will be casted in grey resin.

We're planning to start a crowdfunding project. We prefer to do a Kickstarter project, but since we're Italian we must do a joint venture with another foreigner company (we having an agreement but i can't tell you more for the moment.)
At the moment we're showing on our Blog and Facebook page some concepts of the factions (Allies and Axis of course): the plan (or better DA KUNNING PLAN, since we're in Dakkadakka ) is to produce an army list for almost every country involved in WWII. So you'll have not only Third Reich troops or US troops, but also Britons, Italians and Japanese.
In regard to Japs, Ernster ask me to show some related stuff as first post, and so I'll do

this is Yashamaru a "shinobi" (magic warrior) from the Village of Water, master of the esoteric combat techniques and japanese martial arts.
I'll post more info about this project soon, in the meanwhile you can take a look at our blog http://war-of-wonders-miniature-game.webnode.it/news/the-rise-of-yashamaru/ and our Fb page https://www.facebook.com/WoWMG
thanks

@Wolfsbane68, will the Italians be considered good guys or bad guys (Allies or Axis)?

both bad and good, we created Meta-Humans for both sides in which my country was divide after Sptember 8th 1943

I am REALLY looking forward to this one...

Weird War II with Pulp and Super-Hero elements?

YES!

The superhero stuff doesn't interest me too much, but that aside, I'm always down for wacky Weird War stuff.

Seems very much like Godlike in tabletop form. That's a good thing.

Yeah, color me interested. (Supers are probably my Highlord moment.)

That said, show some more of the pictures here. And hope you get a Kickstarter company figured out; many here are (rightfully) wary of the IndieGoGo campaign platform.

Oh yeah - KICKSTARTER is a must for me.

Indie-no-go is a NONSTARTER for me!

Also, the concept art does look great - but another 'yes please' vote to seeing a miniature or too as soon as possible!

thank you for your feedback, I'll try to post one picture (concept, manual illustration, 3d miniatures etc.) a day.
We'll do our best to do a Kickstarter I promise

The title of this thread is misleading. This has nothing to do with Pinnacle's Weird Wars game line.

Ernster can ou fix it? thanks

Done, Weird War II was put in front as it is the genre of the tabletop game. Other examples include

Incursion
Dust Tactics
Up and coming, Fireteam Zero
Tanhauser

weird War II is a Generic term that was used even back when comics had that title. I do not believe that pinnacle has a TM on that title other than the RPG.

I would rename the title again. It needs to have the WWII descriptor at least, if not also supers or alternate.

Done - I hope!

Hello guys
let me introduce you the Yashamaru's companions, the Crimson Dragons (I know, it's not so original but i love banal but evocative names )
Crimson Dragons are a special troop trained to follow Meta-Humans in their raids in the Pacific ungle.

This seems quite interesting, though I have a question.

Will the Polish Resistance be getting models?

If we're talking wants, I want Native American windtalkers. (Telepathic communications specialists )

Theophony RaptorusRex since War of Wonders is based on a Rpg we have many characters including a Partizans squad (French not Polish actually, The Maquis) and a Native American Meta-Human called Windtalker: I don't remember his powers maybe he's a telepath
So if things go well after Kickstarter, who knows? we would like so much to produce as many characters as possible.

Thanks for the assist on the tittle Alpharius.

I really like the Japanese paratrooper with the exception of the shoulder mounted gun or grenade launcher.

another small preview, the first 3D from our digital sculptor, the Arischer Korp soldier. It will be the main support troop for Third Reich Meta-Humans. It will be realized with a choice of different arms, heads and weapons and two different poses, standing and running.

And now the important questions begin. Plastic, resin, metal, or play-doh? If plastic what type? And who are you contracting with to create the models, actually producing them?

Could swear they said they'd be metal.

Liking the German design. Please tell me you have some heavily armored ones, too.

They did!

Human sized are in 'white metal' and larger figs will be 'grey resin'.

Which I think means 'real' resin (think forge world) and not PVC/'resin plastic' - at least I hope so!

Theophony all the model will be produced in white metal except for limited edition miniatures or large figures like mechas or big monsters which will be casted in gray resin (classic "Forgeworld" type not vynil or plastic resin).
Human size figures will be 30mm high and 25mm round base. Larger figures will have 30mm and 50mm round bases. We're planning also to produce texturized top for them (made in white metal too)
Barzam special corps will have different uniforms, and, yes also heavy armors
The first wave of miniatures will be created and produced for us by Greebo Games. If any of you play Bloodbowl maybe knows Greebo's high quality white metal figures.
This is the first figure Greebo did for us, Doctor Nachtmahr:

Sold as soon as you said bloodbowl.....I mean greebo

If your other miniatures are the same excellent sculpt quality as that one, well...

...I'll be in for even more than I thought - and I already thought I'd be in for a lot!
