Hi all

I think this is a modified/licenced version of Horizon Wars.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/hardwar-miniature-mech-wargame

A lot of the models being sold are based off old Antenocities Workshop STLs.

There are a couple of really close Battletech proxies, the "Razorbach" LRM carrier and "Syndicate" Buran (no its definately not an urbie!).

Nice models, some of the nicest "american mechs" I've seen, tbh, and I've been actively looking for an IP free mech range. No STLs tho?

Thanks - the team have been working hard to remaster the models and do all new paint jobs. We also decided to have all the 'models' unlocked day 1, and we're just unlocking more of the terrain. We went for a frontier farming settlement with some sci-fi upgrades instead of the usual big mech bay/corporate buildings to offer something different.

We decided not to offer STLs because Strato Minis (who we bought the range from) had a big sale of STLs before we acquired the brand and we really wanted to focus on supplying high-quality physical models from our resin factory in the UK - it's the same one that does our Mass Effect, Fallout and Skyrim miniatures

Strato Minis worked with Robey Jenkins on the core mechanics then streamlined a lot of it to what they wanted for Hardwar. If you know Horizon Wars you'll know some of the core mechanics but it does diverge in places. One of the sculptors set of vehicles were previously seen in 32mm scale with Antenocities but we've got a much wider range and are leaning more in to mech, tanks and flyer combined arms.

Am watching this. I've got alot of 10mm sci-fi units that would work for a game like this.

Nice to hear, as refinement is always good. The sculpts Antenocities released are so lovely its great to see them get more use out in the wild. I love how some of the components have been switched about, mashed up and rescaled to give a different vibe or a new unit type.

The core book has simple rules to build your own stats for your existing models

We've now added an STL all in tier ;-)

I like what I'm hearing about the rules, and the minis look decent as well, even if they are somewhat BT derivative...

STL pledge was added!
