I can't wait to (re) join the Brotherhood!

Around here back in the day the most popular was Bauhaus and Imperial by far. Capitals were noticed on the table when they were resculpted from baseball hats and football helmets.

#1 seems a little on the Necron, sorry, nose.
I like #3 in a retro sort of way and number #2 in general.

No1 was more looking old A.B.C. warriors to me(Got to read them when stationed in Germany, bought the graphic novels.
#3, almost Cylon like

Also, #1 on the shoulders there is close to the original Attilas which had a "face" sculpted on the head

well I'll spend my CASH on new stuff just to make sure they survive on this mad miniatures market :0 every cent helps!

Some of the old models were decent, and some were quite good. Sure, it was sometimes a challenge to find the decent to good ones amongst the crap, but such was the "cost" of playing Warzone. Along with not using "good" units because their models were awful (for me, anyway). They pretty much are aiming at the old customers though - they're the majority of the ones who give more than a crap about the new game. "New" customers have a lot more to choose from these days. Without the older guys and their nostalgia for the game, Warzone is just another also-ran that died well over a decade ago.

Be less trollish and needlessly fanboi-ish, perhaps?

Imperials. Plus some units from Capitol (Light Infantry, Rangers, Sharks) and to a lesser extent Mishima.
But with my luck, the fourth will be Bauhaus.

My friend will love that new concept. He was looking forward to starting up a BHood force. It looks stellar. Wonder what it is. Should make us shoulder-pad lovers happy though.

Well I can tell you that 2 of your favourites are also my personal favourites. But as for the 4th release I'm sworn to secrecy (for the moment at least)!

Man, I haven't been teased like this since high school!

Same here. I liked the nationalistic corporate ones in the game both in style and models.

Forgive me for saying this here but I wish they would revive chronopia too . I feel very happy since I loved warzone and I have tons of bauhaus I never got around to use a lot. Nevertheless I will support this effort and hopefully I am gonna buy a lot of this cool minis

The starters make sense to me in terms of displaying strong faction variety right off the bat, and also differentiating yourself from Wierd War 2 games, Infinity etc.
I preferred the nationalistic corporations as well but Not Germans, Not British, Not Japanese and Not Americans doesn't seem like a bold opening play for a new gaming endeavour even if it is based on an old IP.

Chronopia had some cool imagery. The Fantasy skirmish market seems a lot more crowded, and set to become more so once Wrath of Kings and Confrontation get kickstarted this year. I think there's more room for someone to get a foothold in Sci Fi TTGs at this scale.

Yeah, the aesthetics of Cyber, the Dark Legion and the Brotherhood will definitely give the game a unique flavour out of the gate. Mutants/zombies vs. 80's Cyborgs vs. Space Catholics is pretty durn evocative. I wonder what the 4th will be.

They could always go with the Cartel who get a smattering of corporate units from across the solar system (Doomtroopers). That would make a good lead in to all of the proper Megacorps.

Looking good (Head 1 and 2 over 3 and 4). I'm pretty happy with all the stuff shown so far.

Pleased to see the Brotherhood get a look in (but I wouldn't mind Imperial for the fourth). If this works out GW never get to see my cash again (most is going on Kickstarters as it is).

Oh, you can bet your boots that I'll do that too. I'm just excited to have something to play with right out the gate.

Always liked the brotherhood.

More pics!
More teasers!

Well, hopefully Warzone does well and Chronopia might be something down the road.

Prodoss - you might not be able to answer this (for another week), but will all of the factions be making a return in the initial wave?

This.

I just need to find all my old rulebooks at some stage. They're packed away in deep, deep storage.

This is looking better and better.

A Mortificator? It surely mimics the head in shoulders Terminator look and that's not right for Mortificators.

I'll tell you what's on mine: Bauhaus all the way.

If we can find a ruleset that keeps my Étoiles Mortants from dying (yeah, I know it's in the name, but come on...) I'll be happy.

Indeed, 2nd and Ultimate had troubles with making close combat viable. I wonder how Res will handle it. Keeping the focus on shooting is a good plan, but assault should certainly be viable.

I'm personally hoping for a bit of 1st Edition's character customization back. It would need to be fairly regimented to avoid the bulk of the issues, but I always loved the pseudo-RPG elements of 1st Edition. Few games ever really let you create a special character that felt special. 'Course, internal balance issues and the like made sure that guys with Nimrods and Command Helmets ruled the day, but the sentiment was nice. It made the game great for multi-player co-op. Get people to make a character (or even a team of Doom Troopers) and assault them with an endless horde of undead legionnaires. Good times.

Hmm, so Brotherhood Church, Dark Legion and Cybertronic is set. Great!

Next best for me: Mishima (my 1st army in 1st ed), then Capitol and Bauhaus (we all want Valerie back, or?).

I think, I 'll have to say Bauhaus, if only for the Vulcan and this:

Prodos (with one s) already said, 4-5 factions initially. Let them get a good start before demanding all Warzone and Chronopia factions at once, in plastic, for 10c each

You must have me confused with someone else. Anyway, I'll just be happy to see their range of badguy Dark Brotherhood zombie figures wearing a nice mixture of stahlhelm and pickelhaube. After all, if they're in Poland, it seems the least they can do for you...

@Prodos: Will the starters be available to order on the 15th of February or is it just the official-revealing-to-the-public-day?

I'm definitely buying into this whenever it comes out.

The two best selling fractions was Bauhaus and Imperial, feels amazingly stupid not to include them at launch.

This project is like made ​​for Kickstarter, many old fans who can back it. Hope you post a link to the KS on the 15th

I hope that Mishima is next

On the contrary I kinda hope there isn't a Kickstarter. I'm getting pretty damn sick of them at this point.

Sidstyler, I agree with your assessment concerning KS fatigue but in this particular situation KS is ideal. You have a new company picking up an established IP and revamping the whole line. That's a lot of work and needs a lot of capital. If they do go KS, let's not hold it against Prodos that other firms have used KS when the probably didn't need to thus jading us to the whole process.

A KS makes the most sense, actually. Especially if the stretch goals included hard-plastic sprues.
