Definitely feel more encouraged by this release the more I see of it, especially after having seen some of this stuff in person.
Although, I am such a fan of the franchise I would probably get it even if the miniatures resembled a Pez dispenser and the rules were written by the authors of Dreadfleet..

They should use your endorcement on all the promotional materials
posted from Alessio Cavatore a few minutes ago, in response to a question about what large units are in the main Wargamer rulebook:
"Machines have rules for Spider Tanks, tracked HKs and Flying HKs.
Resistance have rules for Abrams, Bradleys, Apache, Black Hawks, Humvees with varied weaponry (current and 'plasma'), trucks, pick ups and even normal cars with or without guns..."

Automatically Appended Next Post: Update from Warlord Games:
Alessio also popped-into the office this week, offering the first glimpse of arguably the most anticipated miniature for the Terminator Genisys Miniatures Game – none other than Arnie himself! Sculpted by Michael Perry, he’ll be available to order as a separate Resin miniature blister shortly.
[Edit: Damn this Automatically Appended Next Post rubbish...]

T-1000 render...
(war against the machines version)
Alessio Cavatore
This is the T-1000 for the War against the Machines... probably best unit in the Machines' arsenal!
Note the plasma rifle he's firing...
Alessio Cavatore
The 'cop' version will be released later, with our '1984' box set... but that's another story!
Alessio Cavatore
The first wave of releases is focussed on the future, on the WATM... the 1984 stuff will be part of the 'second wave' of releases, later during the year...
Alessio Cavatore
I was in the warehouse today (18 May), and they started building the boxes, so they should start shipping this week...

I hope that the first large kits they produce will be Spider Tanks, HK tanks, and Flying HK's. Yes, this does seem a bit one-sided, however, there are many kits all ready on the market that the human side can use in the meantime.

I hope these figures scale up well. This really looks like a great project.
At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

I wonder if the 1984 set will have law enforcement as the opposition? It'd be hard otherwise to make what is essentially a slasher movie into a tabletop wargame.

I think it would be cool if the difference between the future war and the 1984 version was the style of play. Have the Future War be a battleground between armies. Have the 1984 version be one or two terminators trying to eliminate a specific target.
Heck, that might be a fun mutli-player game. Only the guy that actually IS the terminator knows that he is the terminator at the beginning to the game. The other players have to figure out who he is and who his target is.

not too surprising, but worth keeping in mind depending on who you intend to buy this for/ play with
Confirmed... my 11 year old was somewhat heavy handed when assembling one of the Endos at Salute and snapped the itty bitty spine off - easily fixed with some glue, but is now a week spot the model... I expect the resin models will be sturdier...
WIP from Michael Perry...
And the poster for comparison
Preordered the starter set just cos I'd like a really fast easy wargame to lure victims into my clutches of hobby love...

Can someone that has received theirs let me know what rules exist for vehicles on both Skynet and the Resistance's force lists?
Thanks!
