Free PDF if you bought the physical copy would be a nice touch

The problem is now I've been spoilt by Corvus Belli/Infinity, you start to expect it from everyone..

I'd be happy to pay like £5 for a digital copy to go with a physical copy, but any company that thinks I'm paying almost twice to get a physical and digital copy of a rulebook is having a giraffe.

New product available - the Boromite Matriarch...

Wasn't a boromite fan before, and this one doesn't really make me change my opinion.

The plasma carbine drones look nice, though.

C3M4 Test Sprue:

Nice kit, and good to see it will be plastic.

That just screams wardrobe malfunction to me.

I was kind of interested in that kit till I saw it was > $30+shipping for two infantry sized models and a 3 circles.

That Boromite Matriarch literally kills all my interest in Antares dead.

Yeah, I'm feeling like I dodged a bullet with the kickstarter failing.

I think she is cute... and Sexy.

The actual hovercraft and drone things look great, but the queen is unappealing. I feel like the appeal of the Antares factions is so specific. It's easy to not like any of them, even though I really want to.

I tried warning you guys about the Boromites but nobody listened about the dire consequences of letting in the kitty litter faction into the Gates!

I'm failing to see what's wrong with the Boromite ladies besides the price. I actually rather like the smaller woman, and I seem to recall others liking her way back when she was initially previewed.

Fething awesome, miniature release of the year so far for me

Finally, a Baroness Harkonnen miniature.


Looking forward to the plastic vehicle, though. The Ghar suits are great and the Concord drones really tickle my fancy, so the plastic vehicle is right up my alley.

Awesome release imho!

Definitely brings new meaning to the term"over the shoulder boulder holder."

The Boromites convinced me to play Concord!

The Boromites are my least favourite faction as well, a shame that the design of the Boromites seems to turn some away from GoA altogether.

I am currently Concord/Algoryn collecting and the recent Concord releases have been stellar...jetbikes, big cannon and the delights of the all HIPs C3M4 drone to come. The test sprue for it looks great.

Had to stare at the mini a bit to work out that she wasn't sticking her tongue out.
Boromites seem on par with the angry mole rat people to me, concept and execution wise.
Glad the game seems to be getting some traction. Hard to believe how badly the crowd funding was bungled given the timing.

People having differing tastes? I think that's what happens in my case, at least. I feel very "neh" about the faction as a whole, TBH.

That said, with that mini, my impression that the Genestealer Cult would work beautifully as proxies for them gets even stronger.

I'm loving the hand-waving of all of GoA based on a single mini (or faction).

That happens though. I've dropped factions and games based on a single aesthetic. Sometimes a gut reaction over a small thing is all it takes.

What in the...?!?

Paul Sawyer: "Happy (Brood) Mothers Day!
Here are the first images of the finished Matronite Broodmother.
It's been a Herculean job for Wojtek but he's finally completed this humongous beast. She won't be available for a while as there is a lot of resin mouldmaking and production testing to do on a model this size!"

Is that a guy hardwired into the back of it?

If that matriarch is $30+, I can't even imagine what that hunk of resin will cost.

I'll admit, I hadn't thought of that.

Probably because I'm no Boromite fan...but yeah, that's going to be an expensive model!

Like an AT-AT for Antares

price.... One Million Dollars

Wow.. just wow. That's about all I can say about that model without breaking Dakka's rule #1.
