Well, it seems we're seeing one benefit from PP's foray into plastics, with the upcoming release of a boxed boardgame version of the game of Grind, with 10 customizeable steamjack miniatures in the box.

Awesome. I've always wanted try Grind. This sounds like a neat way to get into it.

**George Spiggott**

I wonder if this will be in a new scale or a method of releasing the first wave of plastic Warjacks for the existing factions.

**CircleKhadorKid**

Wow this looks really cool!!!!! If it isn't too much I may buy it...but knowing PP, it will probably be alot...

**Bat Manuel**

Sounds cool. I hope they are same scale as warmachine jacks.

**oomiestompa**

According to PPS_Kevin, the jacks will be roughly the same size as the Warmachine jacks. The PP boards are down right now, so I can't provide a link.

Edit: Link.

Mmmmmhhh, I like the sound of this...

Could be wel worth it, if the provided models are nice. Would have to be plastic to keep it affordable, and it is a great lure to get people into the game (as are videogames..)

**Kogwar**

I wonder if the jack are going to be normal size or mini An di f it is foing to be a mobe by inch or hex

We wanted to see these things have a presence on the tabletop. That said, these are not 'hobby miniatures'. They have been designed be put together without glue, and to be able to allow the arms to be swapped in and out of the shoulder sockets. They have not been designed to be compatible with WARMACHINE, nor do we recommend using the existing metal miniatures in Grind, as playing the game depends much on the customization ability of the figures. However, you should always remember that once you get the game in your hands, its yours to do with as you like. I know we're looking forward to seeing some of the more industrious players out there actually customizing their teams with paint jobs and conversions. We can't stop you, nor would we want to.

That said, once the Cryx Expansion comes out, I will be playing my Slayer, regardless of it not being customizable.
