Wow, no news on this at all?

Must...not...post...can't...fight..it..,"Soon!"

Did have a look in the Prodos stands but have to say I didn't see anything Starcraft related!

Although I had forgotten to look and so wasn't searching for it..

i didnt manage to speak to the prodos guys as they were pretty busy at the time but I didnt notice any starcraft stuff on display and I was looking for it.

I may have missed it or it may not have been there. I didnt look for very long because I had to weave in and out of people to dos o.

So there was no surprise at the Prodos stand then?

Not that I saw but thats hardly conclusive. I wasn't at the stall long and its very possible I missed it as I missed several things during salute that I noticed later in others photos.

I really hope we'll hear more about this as people come back from Salute this evening!

I'd buy a boat load of Terran and proxy them as UCM in Dropzone Commander provided they're of similar scale (The zerg in the photo look a touch smaller than 15mm in scale to me, fingers crossed for 10mm!)

That's a neat idea, Ibis!

(And welcome to Dakka )

I was hoping there'd be more of a fuss made about this by now if there was going to be a reasonably close release date.

I love Starcraft, even though Blizzard is rapidly flushing its lore down the toilet. I will always have a soft spot for it.

Did Prodos bring any of their StarCraft hintings to Salute and/or are there any other updates? Lots of folks really interested in this.

They are waiting on one more signature before they can share anything Starcraft related.... wait wrong IP....

Any news on this at all?

I'm not so sure Blizzard, that is activision will be much easier to work with than Fox. Then again I'm sure they like that it's gone full circle. Star Craft was inspired by wh40k and now it will get a miniatures game of it's own. Then again it's hard to tell who's worse at handling their IPs Blizzard or GW.

Well after a quick Google search the models that we have already seen where indeed on display as Salute:



The models look like they where really tucked out of the way during the show...

The image is from http://www.brueckenkopf-online.com/?p=140927 but as far as I can tell there is zero new news.

Very well spotted Collinsas

Shame there hasn't been any more news!

Although, right now I hope they can keep focus on AvP until that is released..

I'm assuming the robots next to them are from the Terminator game and are 32mm?

More likely Warzone.

Right - for the Cybertronic faction.

I didnt notice those and I was looking for them. Well spotted.

Excellent - I've been wanting to try out a 10/15mm range for some time but been holding out for a "modern" one with nice sculpts and, hopefully, not made of metal.

Though I'd much rather they do Warcraft than StarCraft. Then I'd really be excited.

The minis are looking to be 6mm (epic scale) potentially even 3mm given how large the Hydralisk are compared to humans and the miniature looks to be barely 10mm. The rounded shoulder bases are 3mm tall.

They'd be significantly larger if it were 10mm-15mm scale.

Well, the scale of Starcraft is more variable than even 40k's, so I wouldn't make any bets just yet

The thickness of the bases strongly suggests 10mm at most, although the actual models look more like 6mm.

Hopefully there will be more to go on at the UK Games Expo in a couple of weeks

I would be very, very surprised if these turn out to be 6mm, I think it's probably more the case that the miniatures don't match the scale of that diagram.

I'm sure Prodos will want to capture the essence of the computer game in their tabletop representation, and doing that at 6mm would mean pretty much playing on a 2ft x 2ft board.

I'm going off base sizes and those bases are approximately Epic sized.

I'd asked Prodos about the scale on facebook and here's their reply

Prodos Games: They are 6mm and a testing of how small scale we could print and cast them.

So looks to be 6mm.

Hmmm. Was hoping for 10mm at the smallest. Regardless, doesn't sound like they're ready to put out anything in the next couple of weeks so I still have time to save.

Sorry to bump this up, but anymore news with this?

Protoss are one of my favorite races in any setting. I was watching this one. I nearly started DZC because the Shataari (spelled wrong I'm sure) reminded me of the Protoss, but it'd be nice to play a game with the real thing.

Hello fellow Nova-ite!

I too am curious if there are any updates.

There was a Prodos guy at GenCon, but I could never get anywhere near him to ask myself :(

There has been no mention of this since Salute. One of the Prodos guys has said that these particular minis were a test to see how small they could make miniatures so who knows what that means.

Bummer.

Hopefully they keep testing until they have a full range...

It seems like Prodos has a lot on their plate though. I guess this got pushed to the back burner. If they are smart, they could release it around the same time as Legacy of the Void (next starcraft expansion), but that seems unlikely since LotV is apparently coming out this year.
