Though I have to say, I'm mildly put off getting the rulebook due to all the spelling mistakes on the website. This suggests their proof reading isn't up to much?

Greatest figure ever made.

Merv, the game designer, is a great guy who knows his systems. Worth checking out.

I have most of the miniatures released and I found it to be pretty fun. It's pretty casual. Combat is pretty brutal. Chainsaws especially. Because it is a very small scale game, the rules are a lot more detailed. For example, there's rules for throwing knives at people, then they can in turn pull the knife out of their chest and throw it back at you. You can be in a building, open the door, shoot someone, then close the door. Dead models drop their weapons and can be picked up by others.

The basic mechanics:

- Alternating model activations. I activate one, you activate one, repeat until all models are activated and then start another round. It keeps you constantly involved, which is nice.
- Force construction is very open and liberal. You can make a themed force and get a bonus of some kind, or mix and match pretty much anything. There are a couple restrictions, but they are minor.
- The combat is as follows: you have your attack stat, which is modified by your weapon and distance (melee weapons have several distances, some distances more effective than others), the opponent has their defense stat. You both roll 3d6, add your stat to your roll, and whoever gets higher, wins. The interesting thing is one of your 3 dice is a different color (the blood die). So if you succeed in your roll to hit, you see how much damage you do by the value on the blood die. Lower = more damage. So you want to roll high overall, but want the blood die to be low, so you sort of have an interesting twist on the die rolling. You start the game with a few Fear tokens that you can use to slightly modify die rolls.

It's a pretty fun game if you are looking for something quick and casual to take a break from your usual game.
One thing is that each weapon has its own stats and distances, so until you memorize the weapon table, you'll be doing a lot of flipping through the book.

Edit - The reason I stopped playing was because at the time, the model releases dwindled down to nothing, and my opponent and I got bored with the limited selection we had, even with the proxies we made up. So we stopped playing and never started again. But I still have all the models and terrain I made.

If you get the book, make sure you read Mr. Jingles' fluff first. He's got a squeak toy in his thong that makes a bunch of noise when he sodomizes his henchmen. Good stuff.

30-something men hanging around in shops full of kids - bad.

This is pure win and pure fail at the same time. Actually, the world should probably collapse because of this...

Sounds a lot like Infinity's dice off system.

Funny you say that. I was going to edit that comment in right after I posted but decided not to.

At least he had the decency to remember his banana hammock. If his junk was all hanging out, that would be complete failure.. lol

Those kiddie bases say "ripper swarms" to me. Genestealer Cult?

Typical. Interview at GW today (waiting to hear back if anyone is remotely interested, which you probably aren't :p ) and the night before (see earlier post) I see a game which piques my interest.

And now having heard a bit more about it, all of which seems good thus far, I am sorely tempted to indulge myself!

If nothing else, they will make an interesting Necromunda proxy gang!

QFT, but I found that the Weapons cards they have for download online helps alleviate needing the book for the most common weapons, as you can keep the weapon card with the card of the model wielding the weapon.

GW could take a lesson from Mr. Jingles, That's real evil in action!!!
