I hadn't followed this or backed the kickstarter, but those painted army shots have me interested.

The tanks will look fine if based the same as everything else, I have the same thing with all my old Epic armies. Those few MM's of the base make all the difference.

The terrain has uses in other games as well.

Having seen the minis at Salute I would say they are very close to Legions Imperialis/8mm or prints to around that scale. So if you're using your LI minis for Armageddon or other Epic versions with alien factions that would be a straightforward extra usage for them.

Nice promo graphic. I'm curious where they go with this.

I've got the launch box for LI sitting in my closet unopened, so that's good to know. Maybe I can use them as an enforcers army.

Dreadball was a solid game.

The mini quality was OK.

Is this a new edition or a different game?

It will be a different game based on 2nd Edition from what we heard

Also play testing weekend at Mantic HQ:

I quite enjoyed the first one, it was a really fun different take on fantasy sport and quite fast paced - from memory you could play it in half of the time of Blood Bowl.

One issue it had was some of the teams were better than others, I remember a tournament where I think the top several places were all the funny-looking aliens that didnt have an attack role? (I forget the name of them).

Cool. Its hard to judge from the photos on screen, I did a rough guess by matching the sprue scale to an existing sprue (knowing mantic would probably not deviate too far from what standard size sprues they used) and the rat infantry are a lot wider than imperialis minis, but its not a good judge of scale doing it that way. The photo could be way off.

I dont think I'm going to buy anything else though, the obscure scale is just too off putting. I've been collecting 6mm for too many years. It was bad enough that GW did it with LI, but at least the majority of those models were compatible with my existing 6mm collection (being scifi). I suspect humans/humannoids in warpath are just going to big of a scale and its not going to be worth buying the majority of releases as so much of the kits will be 'wasted' for me.

Shame- I would have loved an easy source of zombies for SciFi, we only really have fantasy ones now available and mantic bring out plague sprues would have been super useful for my collection!

I will keep my fingers crossed that once the minis are out in the wild and people start to paint them up and show them off, once compared to existing minis that are not that different in scale/size. Bit of clever basing will take care of anything too grievous.

I understand this is a new game but I’m curious if they’ll re-release any of the old stuff again.

10mm is hardly an obscure scale
