Ultimate Mecha Front Monday Update!!!!!!


Mecha Front Kickstarter is LIVE!

2013 is shaping up to be a pretty big year for Paulson Games.

Several months back I announced that I had taken on a pretty large project, many of you have been asking what I was doing and I said I'd let you know when the time is right.

Now that things are running at full steam I figured I'd give everyone a small peek behind the curtain at what's coming up.

I'd like to introduce you guys to Mecha Front © which will be a tactical miniatures game centered around mecha combat. It will be a fast paced skirmish type game for two or more players. It takes all the things you love about western style mecha and boils it down to their raw essence. No singing ladies, no culture shocked giant aliens, no psy powered high school kids. This game is for gear heads who love raw gritty robot combat, smoking autocannon shells and the crack of deadly partical cannons.

The miniatures are shaping up to blow away all of my previous work.



Next month is going to mark 5 years that I've been open, it's had it's ups and downs but through it all you guys have been awesome and I wouldn't change any of it. I appreciate all my past customers, it has been your support and encouragement that has helped me get to this point. I look forward to putting out a new line of miniatures that I'm sure you will enjoy.


Enough of my blabber, onto the pics!


Neo-Bloc Mecha









NorAm Mecha

See, FASA? This is how you do it. Stupid FASA.

Looking forward to seeing more.

Pics appear broken to me.

Awesome. Now this, I will buy into.

It's about time Jon

Count me in!

Ooh, what scale will these be? 15mm? 10mm? Comparable scale to whatever the Battletech minis are?

I'm a huge fan of the more realistic/believable aesthetic over the anime/gundam aesthetic. Not being tied to a specific IP also means you have more creative reign to do whatever.

Looking forward to this!

Nice looking concepts; if Battletech looked like that and had some more modern rules to accompany it, I suspect it would be a hell of alot more popular with a younger crowed. I'll definitely be keeping track of what you're doing here but I can't help notice that this thread popped up the same day as the Robotech one. Coincidence?

I'm in! Keep us posted!

Nicely done!

I can't see the pictures on my EVO :(

But still excited for this having followed your work up to now.

Very interestng, depending on size/material

Definitly interested! Your other resin is top notch so this should be good.

Yes! Sing me the song of your people! Seriously, I'm really liking this and can't wait to see more.

The NorAM mechas remind me of Armored Core, in a good way.

Very nice Mecha designs! Looking forward to the Kickstarter!

Please let this be 15mm or something close to N model railroad scale. That way it's easy to find terrain and I can use These and my reaper CAV figures together.

These look exactly like the concept art for Mechwarrior Online (which is turning out great IMO) so here's hoping you enjoy similar success.

I would like to know more *click*.

Very cool looking stuff so far, I'd be super down for a new Battletech-ey game.

The game will be scaled for 15mm

Mechs will be resin and aproximately 60-70mm in height. Standard units are mounted on 60mm bases, the super heavy quads will be on either a 90 or 120mm base.

Material, scale?? I want!!

Looking cool

I might have to start a 15mm sci fi army one of these days

SHA-WEEET! Good job sir! take it and run with it!

Paulson, will it *just* be mechs in the rules? Or will there be a place for infantry, tanks, and flyers?

These look phenomenal, Paulson!

I love the NorAm light on the far right.

I like the concept art and look forward to finding out more, one question though! how many mechs per side for an average game? 15mm scale mechs aren't going to be cheap.

Mick

I love the artwork! Can't wait to see renders...

The game is being developed with skirmish levels in mind so a full sized force will be around 4-5 mechs.

Rules for tanks, helicopters, infantry will be in there. I won't be making models for those right away as the focus is going to be on the mechs. There are tons of great vehicles and infantry available for 15mm and it would eat up resources that can be sent making the mecha. If things are scuessful I will aim to introduce my own line of those at a later point.

Rules will be available in a PDF form, which will be kept as a living document. That will enbale free updates and revisions without players needing to shell out for a new book.

Wanting to scope out the rules. Artwork looks good so far.
