I'm getting pumped for Konflikt '47 too. Great idea on using existing models, could be an interesting themed army to have a 'Counts as' Ghar Grot army.

Oooh yeah. That system looks pretty rad as well.
Wonder what the rules are going to be like.

So, some friends tried out their Concord and Ghar starter armies last night with a few other of us who are curious watching. I have to say, the rules for GoA look very interesting.

However, I'm a bit dismayed at the lack of variety and plastics for other factions. I appreciated the faction run downs over the last pages. Could someone do a similar summation of what is known about Warlord's plans to expand the factions' ranges and what the time frames are for people interested in, say, Isorians or another of the smaller, all-metal factions?

I think some plastics for Algoryn are coming next (no idea when), including the plastic vehicles I posted above. I would expect there to be some more Isorian stuff released with the first supplement as their list will supposedly be filled out in that book. Whether this will include plastic troops, I haven't heard. There will also be another version of the M4 - the T7 transport. And there will be a plastic heavy drone M25/M50 (could be sold as one kit or separately, as with M4/T7) usable by Concord and Freeborn.

Concord and Freeborn have complete the same Vehicle choices?

Mostly, the Freeborn do have a small skimmer but otherwise they import Concord vehicles.

The only difference I can find between Concord and Freeborn vehicle choices (aside from Interceptors versus Sky Raiders, if you're counting bikes) is that the Freeborn have access to cheaper T7 variants based on armament (comes armed with a Mag Light) rather than the standard Plasma Light of the C3T7. This suits the fluff because in fully machine integrated societies like the Panhuman Concord and Isorian Senatex, the IMTel makes all the decisions and will not allow soldiers to go into battle with less than a minimum amount of armament and armour. The Isorian Tograh MV2 Transport is the same way, Plasma Light is the sole armament choice. Concord and Isorians have nice stuff and no choice but to take it. Freeborn are more flexible.

I think the aesthetic is very clean, I'm thinking like Infinity. However I've been looking at the Ghar and imagining them with base iron colored, weathered suits and kinda puts a different spin on them that's more appealing to me.

The infinity thing is what i hate

I know I can paint them differently and I had the same thought with the ghar.

As an idea, what about trying the rules with miniatures you do like? Best of both worlds then

I have been planning on the very thing but there are difficulties in transplanting other ranges due to weaponry etc.

The fluff is annoyingly good -- I say annoying because it is drawing me deeper in and making want to spend more money!

Im probably the opposite. Humans fighting humans fighting humans hundreds of thousands of years in the future where computers and nano tech run entire civilizations and they still have bodies on the battlefield.

I really wanted to like this game as i wanted to get back into futuristic wargaming after leaving 40k around 10 years ago but I just cant pull the trigger. For 2 weeks I have stared at the cheapest box set delivered on ebay but nothing I currently see convinces me to but it :(

So...are you waiting for the 'real' Aliens then?

The Skyraider Squad is confirmed as metal and resin too:

Wow, all of these look amazing!! They have really stepped up their game...

Those are legitimately the first sculpts I've seen that look like they were made after 1995.
