They look fantastic.
Will they come with unit cards or are we printing them ourselves?

Cards will be online initially (in a new form) so that the meta can be easily tweaked as the balance is revealed from real world gaming. We need to finish a few more units to justify a fresh print run.

Another Broken model revealed:



Featuring one of the standard broken weapons and yet another one of our alien heads (the concepts for which were designed by a biologist.)

The plastic kit which made this model, and every other one shown so far for this faction, will be available for purchase on Sep 29th.

Looks great! Reminds me of the good old days of practical effects for some reason. There's something scroungy about him.


Man, now I want to watch some GoodBadFlicks.

Because nothing says late 70's - early 80's scifi like incongruous heavy fur clothing in a desert. :-) And all equipment being rusted to heck but strangely still perfectly functional.

Maybe he is an alien from a volcanic planet and to him, that desertic planet is like the north pole to us!

That guy is perfect as a 3rd World Alien Tourist - even has a sweet camera around his neck.

Green Drazzi wear green scarf and follow green leader .

Do those heads come on separate sprues, you thought about selling them as just the heads ? More importantly when do we get remnants ?

That is very impressive!! I'm actually a fan of everything But the head on this one personally, but it looks like we're spoiled for choice on heads

I especially like the pose, and the variety it looks like will be possible with the separate weapons - you've pulled that off better than I would have thought possible!

Really looking forward to the release of this kit - do you have a date?

Now the big question is, do you have a US distributor?

By far my favourite of the models teased so far.

We just broke through the 2000 like barrier on our Facebook page so to celebrate, here's another teaser of the Broken.



This model is our first shared, painted Broken figure, made with our all plastic, multipart kit which was teased at Salute this year. The kit makes 6 models, with 11 different alien head options and 12 human head options. Like us on facebook to make sure you dont miss the release announcement if you like the look of rag-tag sci-fi troops with shared alien and human parts

Liking these! Reminds me of Land of the Lost! Sleestaks!

KK, there is no US distributor for these yet - we are building up the range a bit more before hitting the distributors stateside. Direct shipping will be available from the UK as always though which takes as little as 3 days, and is good for India too.

PURPLE!!!







He actually reminds me of the guy from Worf's holocombat program though...

Great figure! Gonna need me some of these plastics for projects even if I never manage to get into the game.

I haven't tuned into miniatures in general in a good while, and I'd moralized myself out of buying any more until I use or get rid of my current stash -

But I'll be buying the Broken when they're released. They're much too useful for far too many things.

I'm very glad to see that Maelstrom's Edge is alive and evolving. It's good to see the developers proceeding wisely with releases that are easy to use across multiple ranges. First drones, now alien rabble.

Any chance of any sneaky hints as to how many SKUs the Broken release will make up?

There will be four different units with the initial release built from the same kit. Beyond that, a whole bunch of additional individual models will be coming (and are in active production).

Interesting so far IIRC Maelstrom has only done multipart plastics. Will this be metal/resin or plastic?

Love that mini!
I so much wish I had the time to paint up all of the ME stuff.

Spiral Arm previewed some resin models at Salute this year, and will be putting out a decent number of resin models alongside plastics simply to ensure a good flow of releases moving forwards as plastic takes as much as 18 months from concept to finished model!

I am really excited about the resin models and thus also getting to see more frequent releases!

Thank you . Looking forward to them.

As the clock ticks down towards their Sep 29th release, here is another model from The Broken made from our plastic multipart infantry kit:

I like the head and the bionic looking hand.

I know there are shots of the sprue a few pages back but is there any chance of clean shots of the sprues?

And is there a recommended price yet?

That is a really well painted face! The sculpt looks good too.

Good timing with these, particularly if they fit well with Star Wars minis from their upcoming game. Perfect rebels.

Legion is too big in scale, won't work unfortunately. You'll have to buy all new stuff for that one.

Gotta say, it's kind of cool to watch a game be born and grow in real time. To watch as it stretches and expands to be something more than another game.
