Allow me to put it this way: Paramount is Skynet, reboots are termination attempts, and your childhood is John Connor.

Got a few sprues at Salute yesterday - was great to meet Alessio and team and I'm very impressed with they had to say and show of the game... Plus the freebies were very welcome...
Scale shots...
Endo versus Black Reach snap fit Space Marine...

Resistance fighters (was told that these are the prototype casts and that the final figures would be sharper and fit together better
GW Space marine (black reach snap fit) comparison
GW Catachan comparison
Infinity Corregidor Alguacile comparison
Black Scorpion gunfighter comparison
Endos on sprue
Snap-fit Endo...
Broken spine... if you are a little clumsy or heavy handed the snap fit spine is easily broken (as my son found out...)

Probably, but from what I am aware has been confirmed so far, there's only two skus right now (retail game, wargame edition)
But Alessio has talked extensively about new units, expansions, etc, so I would assume "just plastics" boxes will be available either at release or shortly after release.

The Terminators in this picture are a mix of the ones in the box and the others that are supposedly going to be available separately, the three on the left aren't in the starter boxes. So there will have to be at least one extra lot of terminators in resin, metal or plastic.

Yup, those are resin casts of the 3d renders shown previously.

First glimpse of the rulebook in Warlords newsletter
We also have the first look at the rulebook, just in from the River Horse design team – we’ll have more about the contents very soon:
We plan to put the game on pre-order in May, so keep your eyes on the newsletter, or nip over to the Miniatures Game’s Facebook Group!

Agree, and agree (but 10x a few)

How different are the uniforms? I haven't seen Terminator 1 in at least a few months, so my memory is kind of fuzzy. I'm like the warden in Shawshank Redemption when it comes to sci fi costumes--how often do [I] really look at a man's shoes?
Either way, the kits look like fun. Unless they go full-Wyrd on the pricing, I'll be buying some.

Automatically Appended Next Post: Doug, which picture is you?
One big difference would be the body armour....also seems like the cap has been abandoned. Actually from what I've seen of the Genisys resistance, they seem to be more Terminator Salvation resistance with new body armour.
Anybody else thinking Tech-Com style figures would have made better Contractors for the Epirians than what they went with.

One thing to remember is that the Resistance in The Terminator was at the beginning of becoming organized with limited resources (2020something); the Last Army in Terminator 2 was the final battle (2029?) and it was an ably led, professional army with skynet gear. Terminator Salvation was 2018 so all bullet-based and current military gear.
@Bob, I don't have a Tech-Com outfit, I have a set of USCM stuff from Aliens

Terminator Genisys: The Miniatures Game is a 28mm scale skirmish wargame which sees the Human Resistance led by John Connor take arms against the machines of Skynet. The core boxed set (‘The War Against the Machines’) is due for release in July – and includes 31 hard plastic miniatures, a full-colour, double-sided 2’x3′ gaming mat, dice, quickstart rules, measuring templates, tokens, and card scenery pieces – everything that you need to play in one box!
We’ll be bringing you pre-order details very soon.
A few weekends ago, Alessio and Matt from River Horse were on hand at Salute 2015 to explain more about the game, and offer an exclusive hands-on demo with the rules set. Interest is gathering pace by the day – so what exactly can we expect from the game? We’ve pestered Alessio for a little more information ahead of release…
Alessio: In the ravaged wasteland left after the nuclear holocaust of Judgment Day, the Human Resistance, led by the legendary John Connor, is locked in a desperate conflict against Skynet’s pitiless machines. Who will ultimately survive in The War Against the Machines?
