That's an extremely cool idea. You can imagine them on some mega high-tech world where human beings have been overwhelmed by their cybernetic slaves, or something..
Movie didn't bomb, it made a ton of money overseas.

You're both right. It bombed in the US. It was nothing special almost everywhere in the world in terms of box office receipts. It was a smash hit apparently in China.
They said a couple of days ago that they're shelving the sequels and planned tv show indefinitely. That's why I asked about the longevity of the game. The game makers were probably expecting to be able to ride the coat tails of forthcoming movies.

That's a shame, hadn't read about that before but just looked it up now.
You would have thought $440 million on a $150 cost wouldn't be that bad, but obviously these days things have to get $1 billion plus and pay for high class hooker parties in swimming pools full of champagne for them to bother.
Actually didn't think it was that bad a film (speaking as a massive fan of the originals) other than the fact the trailer absolutely fethed the film by giving away the plot twist, and it should have had a 15+ rating with a bit more gore. And, of course now there is a chance this great game system won't get as much of an airing as it should do
This was my concern with the game. It's survival was linked to a movie that was already on thin ice before it even released.
The game looks good and the thought of getting HK's is a wet dream of mine but I was worried about the movie tanking and subsequently taking the game down with it.
I think I read somewhere either on here or somewhere else where they said future expansions and releases would be based on the movie's success. That was a warning bell for me sadly but I wanted to wait and see how things would turn out.
I'm sure they have stuff lined up to release for the next year or two but after that I'm not sure what will happen.
NEW: TERMINATOR GENISYS CHARACTERS
October 16, 2015 - Latest News, Latest Products, Terminator - Tagged: Terminator, terminator-genisys
With the imminent release of ‘Terminator Genisys’ on DVD worldwide, the Terminator Genisys Miniatures Game has been flying out of the Warlord warehouse – and rumours abound – vehicles, new characters, heavy weapons. Who knows what will appear during the rise of the machines. This week, River Horse are delivering their latest releases to the Warlord Warehouse – Designer Alessio Cavatore takes us through the latest pieces for the action-packed, fast-paced Terminator Genisys game:
For the game to "take off" was hoping that the movie would be good enough to keep interest but bad enough to keep the licence affordable. I'm happy with just the starter box for now. But if T2 hunter killers are released, that's a game changer!
Terminator Genisys stuff is currently on deep discount for Miniature Market's Black Friday sale.
Edit: Looks like the rulebook and human soldiers are the best deal @ about half off.

I scored the softcover rulebook for $16, from miniatures Market.
I was going to figure out if buying the Terminators + Rules + Resistance + dice separately at the Black Friday prices was cheaper than the box set, but then I got distracted with lots of other shiny things.
Out of interest does anyone know of any good alternative minis for the humans/resistance?
Absolutely love the terminator minis, which by their nature are quite spartan, but would love something a bit more detailed for the human side (preferably in resin/metal, although would consider a detailed plastic kit)
I managed to watch the movie recently and it was pretty good up until they time-traveled into the future, at which point it got a little muddled. I still think the franchise needs a straight-up war movie, kind of like a zombie movie but with shiny chrome robots instead of squishy dead people.
