Really beautiful concepts, your artwork is top notch. I'll be in for a few pieces you don't pull a Mantic!

**Jeff Cope**

What are the minis to be made of? Metal? Plastic? Resin?

**bbb**

They mention that they'll be in resin on the previous page.

**HisDivineShadow**

With the glut of games these days the human forces don't hit my fancy much....except that futuristic VTOL Hind.

But your aliens I love. Especially the....not Vorlons.

**Rotgut**

This is looking pretty awesome, Ill be keeping an eye out for this.

**Ouze**

The concept art is beautiful.

**Barzam**

I'm really digging the concept art. I really like the fact that you're making what appears to be the main human faction Russians. I'm also loving the human armor. It really reminds me of Spiral Zone, especially the helmets. The aliens are all rather unique looking, too. Sure, those guys look like Vorlons, but they're still fairly unique for a wargame, especially in that they appear to be sentient crystals.

**SentinelG**

Our idea is that non human races doesn´t seems too "humanoid" (the exception is the wolvar, I hope you can see it in a few days): the glorlons are "cephalopods" and the elohim energy in crystal bodies.

**PsychoticStorm**

Non human aliens are nice, but also risky.

A game having all aliens non humanoid will either hit the jackpot or have issues, personally I quite like non humanoid aliens.

**SentinelG**

We know that is risky not put "space-elven" or something like that (humanoids we got only the wolvar), but this project it´s not only a business , first of all it´s a wargamers dream!

**PsychoticStorm**

That is the case, but I feel starters can be more daring in what they do, love to see projects and businesses merge, its a great way to have quality delivered in our niche.

**Blackhoof**

Loving the bio-race

**Barzam**

Do you guys have any concept art available for the human factions' weaponry?

**SentinelG**

Of course. Here are some of them (of the Colonial army):

**PsychoticStorm**

Not bad at all, mix of present tech with some new elements.

Only comment is that the fire selectors must be somewhere one can change them without needing to look or indeed stop aiming.

The rifle, which is the one with a marked giggle switch, has that switch in the exact same location as a modern AR/M16 pattern. Very easy to manipulate with one's thumb. so I'm not sure what you mean. They've done exactly that.

If there is a comment to make about the firearms, it'd be the 9mm. Odd caliber for a rifle. Though from the magazine dimensions,its obviously not 9mm Luger.

**PsychoticStorm**

Hmmm, good point M16 never comes to my mind when weapons are concerned, still even in that weapon the switch is not in that configuration.

**praetor24**

Well, you definitely have my attention. I love the human-factions concepts so far and I am quite intrigued to see what the "Wolvar" are about.

When is the first starters of the game get in production?

**Xeno**

Wonderful designs! I want to buy SO MANY Glorlons it's not funny!

That was answering a question specifically about the tanks, I thought. If everything is resin, (or restic or plastic) then I'm interested. If there's metal I'm not.

**SentinelG**

Yes, the vehicles will be in resin or plastic (not metal).

We have the first color scheme for the glorlons:

**Puscifer**

That Union Tank looks awesome, but I can't put my finger on it where I've seen a very similar design.

**Barzam**

Those Glorlons look like they'll be fun to paint.

Thanks for the weapon concepts. The designs look great. I like that they're grounded in reality with a hint of sci-fi thrown in. These guys remind me of Spiral Zone more and more when I look at them.

**PsychoticStorm**

That's a nice paint theme.

**SentinelG**

We have new box cover concept:

**PsychoticStorm**

Not bad, but looks claustrophobic, will the main focus of the game or a big part of it be CQB or ranged combat?

**Barzam**

I know it's still early in the design phase, but are you guys planning on having internal details on the vehicles, or will they just be solid with non opening doors? If the vehicles are going to be resin, I've got to imagine something like that gunship is going to be pretty hefty.

**Thatguyoverthere**

Very nice! Every once in a while it's cool to see a dark future setting that hasn't gone full grim-derp.

Can't wait to see more finished models.

**SentinelG**

In the game ranged combat is more important, but melee can be quite frecuent.

About the internals of the vehicles I can answer at this moment, we still designing the glorlons and the human soldiers. When we have more info I will post it. Thanks for the interest.

Probably this weekend will have more finished models.

**highlord tamburlaine**

I really like the Glorons designs, but I worry about how thin the legs of the bipedal ones will be. I just want them to be thick enough at the base.

These really remind me of the inbit/ invid stuff from Mosepeda, and that's a good thing. I look forward to seeing what you've got to show us this weekend!
