But..... is this a wargame like warhammer or a classical boardgame like Zombicide? I didnt understand it...

Neither do I. I think it's mostly a miniatures sandbox, like The Others and Rising Sun and so forth.

A facebook video so it won't link

HATE: The Board Game is coming to Kickstarter at 3PM EST on January 16. Lead your Tribe to glory on the battlefield or torture and death in the Village of an opponent. Check out the video for all the details. Viewer discretion is advised for adult situations and language.


(tomorrow folks you can get your HATE on)

I was surprised they did such a good job tying the video in to Martin Luther King Jr. Day here in the states.

How to HATE: A Guide to Survival
Jan 12, 2018

As an actual board game, this looks awful. Even worse than Rising Sun. And the lack of scale between models only exacerbates the problem, whereas Blood Rage looked much better, same with Conan. The game itself looks like it's on par the "game" in Imperial Knights: Renegade.

I think this ends up being a pass, as the mixed scale models and cheap game overlay just aren't working for me.

Mhm, glimpses of new tasty miniatures. Nice. But man are those boards and sheets and tokens just plain ugly.

That may well be the most embarrassingly awful video I’ve seen trying to promote a game.

I agree, while artwork is great, some minis a pretty nice and all that, the game itself looks appalling.
Rising sun and Bloodrage aren`t bad in that department, although I like the Rising sun board more - it`s visualy clearer.

EDIT: Saw the promo trailer, lol

I guess, they tried to prove us, that this game "can`t be NOT KS exclusive, as it`s edgy and very nieche".

Damn, 3 "gaks" and 3 "feths" - that ought to prove, how "brutal" this game is, haha

I expect the comment section to be crammed with tryhard edgelords...

I note they call out "Torture Rooms". Are there going to be Rape Rooms?

Is it 40k-like or RW-like?

Looks like a game I will get for the minis only and the rest will go straight to the bin

Board looks- serviceable. It's a post apocalyptic wasteland. I don't expect much more than that.

I think the emptiness is for the terrain tiles to be placed- but I'm hoping they go and do plastic terrain instead! Heck, even if it's an add on.

Despite the cringiness of the video, I'm still pretty pumped, having read the books. Lots of neat looking figures, and I like the idea of the transparent scar card overlays. Reminds me of Redakai.

This Post Apocalyptic game that has taken ideas from Mad Max needs Chariots and war wagons battling it out!

chariots with spiked wheels and blades. War wagons with Ballistae and crossbows. Drawn by massive steeds, Oxen or wild pigs.

The fluff sounds like they took Orks from 40k, made them human, and removed all the humor. They use crude language. They have huge knives. They're cannibals. The more important ones grow bigger. All they do is battle with each other. Accumulating "HATE" as if it's something beneficial makes no sense, but replace it with "WAAAGH" points and it makes sense.

For a mature, adult game, where's the women? Where's the sex? I guess they reproduce via spores.

I wonder if HATE tribes use teeth for money.

Wow, yea. That is a staggeringly bad video. I couldn't watch it - the script with all the ridiculous swearing looks like it was written by an 11 year old. I was moderately interested... But not any more...

A bunch of pearl clutchers is probably more likely.

They probably use lips for money, and they are all broke.

The description does sound like the one of orcs' now that you point it out!

Even though the map is suppose to show badlands, I'm pretty sure there is a better artistic way of showing it, rather than just doing a saturated texture

Just watched the video....

Some of the figs work for me, but probably not enough to back this is a game.

I don’t think I was edgy enough

There are more women in the tribes shown so so far than most Warhammer armies, heck, probably most Warhammer races

IMO the video is bad not because of the supposedly edgy swears, but the laughable narrator trying to sound both grim AND tough and not pulling off either. And showing the brutality of this world of torturing cannibal murderers (and presumed rapists) in combat...by showing the shaman lady gently bob some dude with her head and his mini being laid flat. Really? Even a super cheesy Wilhem Tell-scream, cheap bloodspatter effect or a flashing sword symbol wouldn't be this comically bad.

Dunno. Swearing doesn't offend me in the slightest, but that was pathetically tryhard. Like it was written by/for 13 year old boys. Embarrassingly terrible.

Game components look bad, and the game doesn't look good or interesting enough to make it something worth playing over the many, many other boardgames/minis games/video games I already own. I might pick it up for the minis, if they stack it full of enough of them for a good enough price.

Can you eat them while you rape them? How cool would that be,right?
You eat her p...y literally ...yea, in HATE it's possible, should have gone with that xD

i agree but they'll be out in force all the same. There's a lot of strangely sensitive people in war gaming and tangential hobbies.

Wait - are they mixed scale?

Or are some of them supposed to be 'giants' or 'ogres'?

Are are the 'bigger' models just bigger to show that they are leaders of some sort?

They are men. just massive. In the comic it's said that "some lines of men grew monstrous" or something to that effect.

The big ones are the leaders, yes.

Despite all you guys poo-pooing on the super cheesy video, I'm still pretty excited for this.

Gameplay appeals to me, and I like the idea of your tribe members being somewhat limited in numbers as the campaign wears on.

Still hoping they do some 3d terrain to replace the rather drab tile overlays, of which at least I hope we see more- video did say that terrain can both hinder and harm you.

Have they said how long this will run? I'm betting it's a shorter campaign, but on the other hand, the way they've been hyping it up I could see it running longer.

Guess we'll find out soon enough!

I will back this right away simply because a lot of those dudes look like they're straight out of 6th Edition Chaos army books. GW doesn't want to do models in that style, so CMON has my money.

Crap. Cannot unsee. Definitely not getting this now.

So there is no 'scale issue' here, it is just that, like Orks, in the world of HATE the strong leader types grow...larger?

Human meat obviously is full of the best nutrients!

Might as well play Mordheim.
