Didn't realize the Princes were going to end up that big. I wonder if all they've shown off so far are core sculpts too, or if stretch stuff is showing up as well.

The variety of crazy sculpts on display pleases me.

If I don't ever play it as intended, or as a Slaves to Darkness army, they're all getting put to use in Song of Blades and Heroes, or possibly the new Sellswords and Spellslingers rules Andrea's put out.

People have no problem identifying Space marines .. they are all the same just different weapons and maybe a different head -_-

They sadly don't fit in with Warhammer stuff, but I'll make them work somehow. I'll have to check the Zombicide Hate characters to see how the PVC used works with all the fur and spikes for clean-up. If it's too much bother I'll definitly only get the base game without any add-ons.

You don't think these guys would make awesome chaos warriors? I think they'd be fantastic sub-ins for some crazy, over the top barbarian types!

They would IF the models I have (the Zombicide guest artist ones) didn't look really weird and clearly done in a different design philosophy next to all GW Chaos models I have. The same scale interpreted by Remy Tremblay and GW's designers leads to vastly different things.

What I might do is a Mordheim/skirmish/whatever group using only Hate minis for Chaos. That'd work way better than mixing human-sized models. The giants will work as ogres, demon princes or giants, I think.

How do the Zombicide: BP figures matchup with Khorne Blood Reavers? I don't have any Blood Reavers but they seem to be bigger than the old Chaos Marauders.

today we get a mercenary, she's a bit of a brute

and the 4 tribes

I can tell the hammer guys apart because they have hammers, but that's it. I think they should have stuck to theme a little more: consistent weapons and/or head styles could, regardless of realism and unit diversity, made it a lot clearer what's going on.

edit: oops, not all the hammer guys have hammers.

Yeah, I think color will be essential to making this game make any sense on a board.

Echo chamber reply to concur I would not be able to tell that gak apart on a table without color.

Hmm. I'm leaning back towards pledging on this one, depending on what the stretch goals/addon situation ends up looking like. If the core box has all four factions and a few extras, I can probably essentially get the models I actually want for free by flogging the ones I don't on ebay.

But which one runs Barter Town?

Maybe each tribe will have its own color, or they'll do the sets of colored rings again?

The Reavers are much broader and look stubby with their ridiculous barrelchests and arms as thick as long. The Hate characters look more natural, but maybe not as imposing when viewed at table distance. I'll visit home over the weekend where my Zombicide minis and Reavers are. I can take pictures when I'm there.

The tribes look great together and two of the giants plus the one with the skull skirt from the comic (that'll hopefully be a SG and not an add-on) make this a must.

The entire game isn't space marines with spikes and chains vs space marines with chains and spikes though. Usually you have something more visually diverse in the 2 player box.

In the top you have the "broad-blades clan", the second one is the "hammer clan", the third one is the "axe clan" and the bottom one is the "cloaked clan". But no, seriously, I do agree with you. I find it rather hard, too, to see the difference between the clans.

In this post-apocalyptic wasteland, not everyone has settled into a Tribe and set down roots in a Village. Mercenaries prefer to go solo, opting for a solitary, nomadic lifestyle. Sometimes numbers give you strength, and sometimes they just put a target on your back.

Not all Shamans pay tribute to the same gods. The idea of an objective morality has long since disappeared from the lives of the people in the world today, and now mystics find their power and guidance from good and evils spirits alike.

Shamans with no tribal protection can be beaten into submission and added to your flock in HATE. These mysterious figures have powers and insight that may seem strange to the vicious, single-minded barbarians they fight alongside, but they can offer important advantages in battle.

I love barbarians, but I just can't get into these. Too much bondage gear and inexplicable piercings and spikes. They look more Post apocalypse than fantasy, which is fine, but not my thing. When designs go so over the top like these, I just can't imagine them fighting for anything.. I can imagine them fighting, I Just can't find any interesting story for why they fight. They just look like they love violence for the sake of violence, like a 13year olds fantasy novel bad guys. Societies can only exist if there are things other than violence that people like or value.

Gasoline. They're just here for the gasoline.

There are many elements in HATE that would classify it as a fantasy setting. But I wouldn't know for sure. I can't remember reading what the setting is actually supposed to be. But pretty much the main setting of the story is to restore magical powers to a magical entity, basically.

It’s post apoc in a fantasy setting.

I wasn't interested in this, but I do like giant minis..

Saw some people put off by the size difference between the prince and the regular guys. So what if this is a "large scale game" and the princes are normal size guys and the regular troops are dwarves or mutated children? Like mini me from Austin Powers... I don't know why but thinking of it like that I kind of want it more... Post apocalyptic mutated children wars! and their weird Uncle... Now I am definitely in!

not a minotaur honest, it's a mercenary (and I guess bigger than the normal 32mm warriors?)

Bra Ku Taa was shunned from his native lands, but he fights in the vain hopes of being able to return to honor one day. He's a vicious creature that is never happier than when he’s crushing a skull under his hoofs. He will make any Tribe tougher and more terrifying on the battlefield

zombie?


The Clay Man was once a member of a proud Tribe of men. However, time takes its toll on all living things. Enveloped in a thick case of mud, the Clay Man slept for centuries. A shift in the Earth released him from his state of living death, and he once more returned to walk the surface. Years of imprisonment stripped away his humanity and replaced it with an unending hunger for flesh. He will kill and kill again to feed it.

If that's not a minotaur then I'm a lizard.

I hope we can get a couple of those clay men. Some nice looking savage dudes.

Not sure if Quatto or Master Blaster...

Ooops problems,

take a look at the kids wrist, it doesn't meet up with his hand on the shield

wonder if it's just a build issue with the resin or a critical fail on their scanning software

Maybe that hand just fell off at some point so they glued it on to the shield as an expression of their HATE?

It would fit, but the art suggests it should be attached.....

it's the tyrant, he likes skulls, long walks on the beach and makeup


Success attracts power, and there’s no one more powerful than the Tyrant. He towers over the other forces in HATE and he’s unconstrained by laws or humans. If the conditions are right, he will join your Tribe's forces and lead an assault on those who oppose you that will create nightmares for generations to come.

I hope that guy is just regular size and is just wearing baby skull pants!

As seen on the cabinet group shot in this thread - the FB one- on the first page- he is the boggest mini in ghe game by far, actually

And there are more big dudes not shown on clear pictures, ones that look more chaos-y than the two more ape-ish princes shown so far. Still waiting for those.

And for the hand, that might be because of production issues. This might be an production master and not a render with one of the "fixes" their Chinese engineers sometimes do to make the model castable as a singe piece/without some undercut/whatever. Or the sculptor had to change it, but I doubt they leave the hand just stuck to the shield.

At least with these guys the snaller one has a pupeteer feel already and you'd be able to paint some arcane symbols on the stump and the hand or add some fancy gemstones to show.that the hand is remote controlled by arcane means. I can see a lot of complaints on KS, though.
