In case there was much doubt, it appears that future sequels might be cancelled as the next planned Genysis movie has been taken off the studio's movie release schedule.
Don't the rights revert to Cameron in a couple years? Maybe then we'll see some more Terminator movement. He was apparently a fan of Genisys, so who knows what will happen.

Actors in bad movies usually are fans of their work during the paid marketing period as well... and then change their mind months to years later. There are some exceptions (like Sean Connery and the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) but I wouldn't put too much stock into the spin of someone with a financial stake in the IP. If he does own it and the rights revert to him (no idea if that is the case), he'll change whatever he feels like up to and including everything.
In terms of the board game though, the "big rulebook" had rules for lots of stuff not included in the board game cut down version so hopefully that will keep fans of the franchise happy for a while.
edit: From watching the latest BOW video, Alessio's big bald head (is everyone around Nottingham required to shave their head in games design??) shows up on their remote screen and he shows surprisingly some previews of additional figures coming up. Maybe they were already in production and River Horse is just trying to make the best of a bad situation but it looks like there will be some additional support (multipe Arnie figures, a damaged john connor t-3000, pickup truck, walker drone, and flying drone) as well as a third "survivor" faction in 2016. Gotta say that this genuinely surprises me and I wish them well despite my thoughts on the initial release. I figured they'd cut their losses after 6 months of pretty much silence in terms of more releases and news in the wake of the relative (but not absolute) failure of the movie compared with expectations.

A great shame as it's a fething brilliant game, really enjoy playing it.
Something like this nose-dives because of a movie failure when some of the other fething dross on the market (that sells because of a company logo on the box) continues to exist. It ain't right!

Arguably the only person that can save Terminator is Cameron.. and sad to say it but it needs to lose Arnie and the crappy attempts at comedy, make another smaller, Indy, horrifying film that the original one was.
How are the size of the miniatures compared to the 2nd generation Infinity Ariadna miniatures (such as the Metros and Briscards etc)? I am looking for something which has smaller realistic detail and is scaled well with the existing Ariadna miniatures I have. The change in scale for Infinity has led me to go looking elsewhere for miniatures to fill the gap.
They'll offer it separately too. Just like some of the new plastic Bolt Action vehicles are released in platoon packs, then a few weeks later are released individually.
Every time a terrorist dies a Paratrooper gets his wings.
You knew the machines were about to lose the war when they had to resort to building from breeze blocks!
Wow hadn't seen those resistance models before, how long have they been around?
They look a lot better than the standard plastics, has anyone got them and can attest? Might well get some of these to mix in with the forthcoming Warlord special forces plastic kit to use as resistance.
Were those in the movies at all, or are they just getting creative ?
Even if they looked different, the terminator franchise has had small flyers before. Thankfully these look better than the ones in the T2 Ride at Universal.
Not loving the SpiderDog. I just see what role it fills. It's not a heavy weapons platform and it can't be an infiltrator.

I'm passingly familiar with all the Terminator Comics and movies, with an interest in all the Terminator Models. The Terminator Wiki is pretty crap to navigate, but does a good job of listing most of them. I couldn't find those two models, or the small Drones from the T2 Ride at Universal, on the Wiki, which is why I asked.
Some litle, and unrealistic, portion of my brain is in love with the idea of a Terminator RPG with ALL the terminator models.
Also, I disagree with that articles author about the Terminator/Robocop crossover being terrible. It does ignore the Terminator Mythos that John Conner will defeat the Terminator in the end, but it's written as a Robocop story, so he is of course the hero. It also may just be the kid in me, but armies of "robocops" battling armies of terminators was just what my inner robocop fanboi wanted, even if I had never dreamed of it.
When i heard hunter killer I got all excited. But the new models do nothing for me.
Nice that wayland have the spider tanks, will get one ordered. Also the starter at £40 feels more "sellerable" will try to bagder some friends to get into it again.
it's the quiet ones you have to look out for. Their the ones that change the world, the loud ones just take the credit for it.

Late answering, but yes, the small drone appeared in T3. It shot a missile at John as they were making their way through the military base near the end.
Spider Tank is 30% off at Wayland. Probably the best price you'll ever see for it since it's basically a direct order item from River Horse at this point. I already ordered two and got them fairly quickly to the USA.

So finally got around to painting some stuff up (i'll put photos up at some point soon) and I have to say even with a basic table top paintjob the Endo's look amazing.
A few questions, firstly at the start of the year there were some preview shot of a resistance truck, is this going to be released or is the game effectively dead at this point?
Secondly looking at ordering an airfix tank / apc kit to add some big stuff, anyone have any idea if the 1:48 scale infantry would be any good for the resistance, as I hear this is what scale of the game should be. I was looking at something like this;
They just released the two Skynet drones, so there's still some releases happening.
I also bought the Airfix British guys - mainly to convert their rifles to Terminator 1 style resistance plasma carbines. I'll check to see how they scale.

Such a shame that it hasn't sold as well as they obviously hoped, to be practically giving the sets away..
Well.. since the movie (outside of china) box office total and the 25mm limited push fit pose truescale minis (outside of a few enthusiasts) were relative disappointments, I can't say I'm surprised. The relatively high pricing with little physical content compared with the kickstarter "deals" en vogue during its debut certainly didn't help either. If it had come out at that price in the first place, it might have garnered a following. I appreciate the info on the deals in the thread though.

It was a pretty big flop in almost every regard. I assume that Warlord will be dropping the franchise (and licence?) in short order like they are with Judge Dread. They just seem to be carrying too many game systems and licences to make any real sense.
The hefty original retail price and lack of quality of the miniatures meant that this was DOA.
