That was quite fast, all told. Nice

Good stuff. Mostly typos, but I'm glad they've got something this fast.

Really really nitpicky errata too!

example:

"Concord C3M50 Heavy Support Drone. Option. Give
Combat Drone Self-Repair rule"… should read "Give
Heavy Support Drone Self-Repair rule"… i.e. the correct
term for the C3M50 is Heavy Support Drone.

Are the Concord plastics from GoA the same size as the WW2 plastics? They seem to be less heroic in proportions. I'll certainly get some of those in time, but it looks like I wouldn't be able to use spare parts to sci fi up some Warlord historicals.

Not to wander too far down this off topic rabbit hole but I think your best bet for space Soviets that are the same scale as Eisenkern would be DUST soviets.

Thanks! Definitely going to look into this. It's a bit of a shame, though; as a converter, multipart HIPS miniatures are my dream.

culled these images from the FB group

Thanks! That gives me a better idea.

Guys, just buying into this, and have gone for some Concord. Mainly as those bikes rock.

I'm keen for a shooty army, I guess a tau type force, as hopefully antares will take over from 40k as my Sci Fi game!

Interceptors are up for pre-order, for release in early January. They are resin/metal and are priced at £20.

They screwed up and included an order die with these again.

Looking good - but I'm not sure how good of an idea it is to have a resin and metal mini on a flight stand.

For those of us who used to have metal Land Speeders and the like for 40k, you can make a solid and resilient bond with a good superglue and some pinning.

And going on size those look a somewhat smaller mass than a 2nd edition Land Speeder, don't think it should be an issue if they are metal.

The Warlord flight stands are a pretty tough plastic, too - much stronger than the old brittle GW flight stands (whew especially the ones w/ hex bases)

The webshop's item description is not helping, could it be that bikes and riders are resin and the drone is metal?

Welcome to GoA Looking forward to the bikes as well. And these C3T7 transports released in mid January

I, too, would like to know if the bikes and riders are all resin. I would settle for resin bikes.

"Contains the following resin and metal models:"
at a guess, I'll bet the riders are metal and the bikes are resin.

That would be my guess, too.

Ghar outcasts are snivelling, whining and cowardly creatures that wouldn’t hesitate to betray their comrades on the slightest chance of better treatment or remission of their punishment. Such is the general nature of the Ghar who, as a race, have little sense of individual worth beyond the bosom of their cruel and uncaring society. Fartok – however – was different. Fartok was the Ghar who refused to kneel before his masters!

Fartok is portrayed in the recovered and hastily repaired battle armour scavenged by the outcast band from the battlefields of Ephra… but of course you can read more about Fartok and his exploits in the Beyond the Gates of Antares Rulebook!

Please note that this model has not yet entered production, so is still subject to change before release.

GAME TRAILER

We kicked things off with a trailer video – encompassing the Antarean universe, and giving a flavour for each of the 6 core factions outlined in the Rulebook.




‘HOW TO PLAY’ SERIES
We then tackled a ‘How to play’ video series – with none other than Rick Priestley taking the helm, and guiding you through the core mechanics of the game!

PART ONE – ORDER DICE



PART TWO – SHOOTING



PART THREE – PINNING



PART FOUR – THE ASSAULT



PART FIVE – LEADERS




FACTION VIDEOS
Next, we took a closer look at the various factions of the Antarean universe – first, Warlorder Rich.D sat down with Rick to gain a little insight into each…




Next we focused on each of the 6 factions, showcasing the miniatures for each – starting with the Algoryn




Next were the Freeborn…





…and there are more to come over the next few weeks!

CHATS WITH RICK

Warlorder Rich.C sat down with Rick and posed a few questions from the community regarding the technology and terrain of Antares…




We’re looking to release plenty more videos on the next year and beyond, including more chats with Rick, more instructional videos, hobby videos, battle reports, and much more – so keep watching!

I prefer to call them "unfortunately shaped wiggle whips"

I've gotten about 6 games done with GoA and I have to say that it's probably one of the better games I've played in my 30 years of gaming.

The action/reaction system and initiative mechanic require that both players stay engaged in the game. I've done some external playtest for some companies and I'm fairly decent at picking out loopholes or exploits. So far, I haven't found anything that really jumps out. The Pin mechanic balances out heavily armored units w/o decisively neutering them.

You can buy mostly minimum units to get as many order dice as possible, but with Net ammo (no damage, does Pins only) they can be shut down. So you buy more dudes for your units, but you end up with less order dice and thus, less activation's' than your opponent.

Just building your army requires a good amount of thought and what works against Ghar may not work well against Boromites, as I recently found out.

I think as more models are released or are proxied we'll learn more but for now, it seems a solid rules set with some good minis.

Sorry bobby, but your low post count makes me suspicious that you may work for the company making the game, blame this on past kickstarters.

I'm not sure if you're joking but I hope so. I don't get that vibe from him other than just excitement at the game. Now.. if he were gushing about the boromite asthetics, that would be a different story!

Meanwhile I have a high post count but actually DO demo Warlord's games...

Merry Dakkamas, we have a shot of the jetbikes. Seems like the chassis is resin whilst everything else is metal:

They look awesome. I'd love to say how much I'm loving this game at the moment, but my post count isn't quite there yet

Merry Christmas : )

Touché hrhr

The bikes are fine. I will buy a box or three

The bikes look great! This game continues to impress. I can't wait to see some of larger vehicles.

Oddly enough I am a game rep... for Privateer Press.

So will we see plastic Turian- err sorry Algoryn- and when is it likely to be? I played a demo of GoA at Salute this year and was quite taken with it, but the Algoryn are the only faction that catch my eye aesthetically. But the metal costs are too high.

The rumors are first plastic modular-tool sprue for Algoryn in March/April.

I would think two kits from three sprue tools - normal and assault infantry. Purely my guess.
