Ya got me. It's all modeled after the Genisys endos which are doing this pose in the trailer.
I fully plan on getting a shameful amount of them and converting most of them to T1/T2 style. I hope an aftermarket bits seller manufactures T2 plasma rifles. HINT HINT GUYS

I just spent a shameful amount ot time trying to think of what I would have the endos' left hands doing after converting the right to hold plasma rifles. Some would need another plasma rifle, or maybe a SMG. I plan to use a lot of WGF survivor weapons.
The Genisys endos must have picked up a software bug from the T3 "everyone has a plasma gatling" endos. Yuck.
Ruglud - you seem to be up to speed with Salute 2015 info, any news if they are going to be showing off this game there (or perhaps not if they are having to tie in with the movie release?)
Good question - I've not heard anything yt about them being at Salute, but Renedra and Warlord Games are both in attendance so hopefully one of them will some Terminator goodies on display ...
The endos have a nice tru-scale feel next to them.. as soon as you stick them next to those heroic scale humans though it looks really weird. I would personally err on the side of buying the endos but using humans from other ranges.
For people similarly minded, Empress miniatures as well as Specter have vehicles and people of roughly this scale. I think Specter even has a Kickstarter going with technicals (the trucks with various heavy weapons in the back like in the movies). I also plan on some WGF survivors going up against the toasters
I think I'd have to figure out bases for the crawlers though.. that's bugging me just looking at it.
I have to agree with that. They look like they're from different games. I'll be on the sidelines, waiting to see what the game turns out to be like, and what the prices are like.

Alessio Cavatore:
we will be at Salute at the Warlord stand, see you there!
Alessio just commented when asked if any minis will be available to buy at Salute (25 Apr)
Alessio Cavatore: Salute probably only a resin version of Reese... too early! Possibly Endos...
And confirmation of the minis available when the game officially launches
Alessio Cavatore: As well as the starter set, at launch we should have: -box of endos -box of resistance plastics -John Connor blister (metal? resin?) -endos with weapon and command options (blisters... resin or metal...) -Infiltrators -Resistance with dogs...
Later of course Sarah Connor, Guardian (Arnie), cops, T-1000, etc...
Later, if things go well... we'll start to look at vehicles, like the spider tank, hunter killers, and stuff for the resistance too...

Apparently the first 1000 Salute goodie bag people will get a free sprue.

Exciting news for everyone going to the Salute wargames show this year – everyone who places an order to be picked up at the show will receive a special free gift – an unrealeased plastic sprue from a certain upcoming game. Without a doubt, you’ll be the some of the very first to get your hands on these models!
I'm assuming these are from Terminator.

According to their FB page, Alessio Calvatore was in Wayland Games the other day giving demo games and talking about the game - don't suppose anyone on here was there at the time?
Over on the Terminator Genisys Miniatures Game Facebook Page the community has been discussing a new preview poster that popped up for the River Horse game…
As you can see it gives a run down of exactly what’s in the set and to make sure you don’t have to try and read the small print it comes with…
Quickstart Rules (16 Pages)
31 Hard Plastic Miniatures – 10 Terminators, 5 Crawlers, 16 Resistance Soldiers (all of which are three piece dry fit sets – apart from the Crawlers which are one piece)
Measuring Templates, Scenery, Tokens, and other Gaming Aids
2×3 Full Colour Gaming Mat
Rules Reference Sheet
13 Colour Coded Dice
The poster also talks about the availability to pre-order now and this is apparently something that has popped up in American stores now with it appearing in UK ones very soon.
There will also be a different version of the game which comes with a full rulebook and special edition miniatures. I imagine Warlord will be stocking THIS version of the game when it comes to the pre-orders.
I find myself relatively unexcited about this. I would have killed for a terminator game a few years ago but the style, scale, and overall value of it all doesn't really grab much of my attention.

I dunno, £50 for an all-in-one boxed game doesn't seem that bad. Sure it's not got as many minis in it as a GW starter box for 50% more $$, but if it's a good game as is, then it's a good deal.

No kidding. $75 is a little spendy for 30 miniatures, tokens, and a play mat.
That's $2.50 per model, not counting the other gameplay materials. For mass plastic models from what, repeats of 2 unique sprues, that's a bit above market.
$50 seems about right, especially as a starter box. $45 would be a nice deal, and I think Warlord would get a lot more sales at such a price point. At $45, I'd buy it just to check it out.
Kirasu: Have we fallen so far that we are excited that GW is giving us the opportunity to spend 58$ for JUST the rules? Surprised it's not "Dataslate: Assault Phase"
AlexHolker: "The power loader is a forklift. The public doesn't complain about a forklift not having frontal armour protecting the crew compartment because the only enemy it is designed to face is the OHSA violation."
AlexHolker: "Allow me to put it this way: Paramount is Skynet, reboots are termination attempts, and your childhood is John Connor."

Am I reading correctly that this box doesn't have the full rulebook?
Very good point. It only says it comes with a double sided reference sheet. Though it is pictured with the reference sheet and a fast play rules leaflet, that may be the rule book.

I'd be surprised if it didn't come with all of the rules required to play. It's entirely possible they managed to fit that within the reference sheet and leaflet though. Not all games rulebooks need to be huge tomes.
