Oh, ok then.
Now the question is, why doesn't me FLGS have them?

Because the release date is April?

Oh, well that makes sense.You know, I tried looking for the release date, but I could never find it
In the book proper, are there rules for those bug people?

No(t yet)

The 6 sides in warpath are:

Enforcers (Sphess Mehreens)
GCPS (Imperial Guard / Astra I-dont-give-a-frig-ium-they're-Guardsmen-dammit)
Marauders ( )
Plague (Uh.... Lost and the Damned, kind-of)
Asterian (Pointy Ears)
Veer'myn (space skaven)

Huh, odd. I wonder how they are going to incorporate them into the rules in the future. Maybe they're waiting for 40k factions to get squatted.

Probably supplement books.

We're probably not going to see Zzor for a long while. I'd guess the next two Warpath factions would be filling out the Marauders, who currently half-share an army list with the GCPS, and then the Rebs once they figure out how they can work in a mass battle game.

After that I'd expect Nameless as a full faction, who people seem to really like, and have kinda pushed the Zzor out of the way.

You mean these guys?



So Warpath will get cthulhu eventually? Cool.

No, they are Nameless, not Z'zor.

Yeah. They've already announced that they're getting a Deadzone release this year, so Warpath shouldn't be too far behind.

Honestly, if I had to guess they redid most of their Zzor first concepts as tentacle monsters to use with the Nameless.

Yes, I know

Zzor are these guys



Still waiting for not-necrons though, but I guess nameless are supposed to be those. Or maybe nameless are not-daemons, idk.

Actually, dreadball has quite a few hints about the factions that might get released for warpath.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see Koris at some point.

Mortal enemies of the Asterians, these extra-dimensional sadists find malicious pleasure in inflicting pain and suffering on other creatures by whatever underhanded methods they can. This makes them ideal DreadBall players, if somewhat terrifying opponents.

Multi-armed not-dark eldar sounds fun.

Aren't you forgetting Forge Fathers? AKA Space Dwarfs, aka Squats?

oh, and by the way, another day, another disappointment by no Mantic delivery.

7 factions are still too few to get people here into the system
I know that Mantic don't want to add an uncharted empire like book but a supplement with additional lists would be good

I don't think number of factions is what's holding people at bay. I like a lot of the ideas and models For me they're just at a point where something has to finish coming together and a lot of things need to go from WiP or Beta to an actual thing. It's almost like they've developed stage fright.

That may be true, but at least the price point is awesome, especially with 20% off at the local shop or online retailer. 10 enforcers for $16

Yo, Marcus! That place have Jetbikes for sale? I needed two. I know they're normally a 4-pack, but I can't find online stores in the US who have em.

Multi-armed not-dark-eldar who are actually giant, super intelligent spiders, that can personally jump between dimensions and appear anywhere at will, actually.

So kill it with

Nameless, Z'Zor, Koris, Crystallans, Tsudochan, are all races that are unincorporated, and are interesting enough to potentially make an army. A lot of the other aliens are incorporated, so probably better as new Rebs units.

here this is a huge factor
someone who is playing 40k and want to start new with WP, also wants a new faction and not something similar with nit so nice models.
(while I think Mantics new stuff look better than GW, others like the special design)
so for those only dwarfs and plague are unique enough and asterians are a maybe. This is not enough for most to consider it as an alternative to other systems
(one reason while Night Stalker, Nature, Trident or Basilea are often played here, those are unique in KoW and not just some count as Warhammer stuff)

other people want to proxy their existing armys in a new system and here WP is no alternative
while ForgeFathers, Corps, Plague and Asterians can be used for Space Marines, Guard, Tyranids and Eldar, all the other players miss a list and a DarkEldar or Necron player don't want to use the same list as the Eldar player


This was also the reason why first edition KoW or WP was not of interest here.
too few factions to play

Well, 40k is like 95% Space Marines so that isnt really an argument, is it?

Also, with Warpath they're moving away from the whole "not GW" thing, that was very present during the development of KoW, but they're much more reliant on their own IP for Warpath.

Their sci-fi universe is a lot more interesting in any case, the themes are closer to other good sci-fi which takes something from the modern world and extrapolates it into the future - in this case, human greed and imperialism.

It's closer to something like Alien or Firefly in terms of depicting a universe where monolithic corporate entities control everything.

It's really not anywhere close to the universes with a more fantasy/religious/ magic element like 40k and Star Wars.

I like the WP background more than the 40k, allthough I like my SpaceWolves and would like to play them in WP (same for my Daemons)
but I also would like to build a FF or Enforcer army but this would end up using the same list.

I don't think they need to go the non-GW list path, but at least give us some more lists from all the existing factions we see in Dreadball
(a Martian army list would be cool too and suit Necron players)

This is 30k....
well of course this is just a local thing, but for Marines, there is me with Wolves and Thousand Sons, a friend with Night Lords and everyone else in our Club are not-Marines
For tournament players, most have an Eldar or Tau army now

and of course, all those Marine players want to have their own list and not one generic one......

The free Warpath novel btw is .... well. pop sci-fi. It is acceptable and a good first step to establish the universe but the writing style is just too boring.

At least that's my opinion.

If you enjoy somewhat ergodic literature, read the free sourcebook. You can skip around and find what interests you. It reveals a lot of the setting without the need for prose or plot construction. The main text is fairly serious, but some of the sidebars are quite humorous. It reads like Peter Hamilton's idea of the future with some nice Verhoeven touches.

PMS you. I'll go halfsies if you don't want to pay for the full set.

And if anyone else is interested it is armada games in Tampa Florida. They have a webstore and take phone orders

Quick glance through firefight rules. Damn, that game looks TIGHT!!

I'm pretty intr in warpath basing myself

Is warpath basically the same except multi basing? Cuz I'd be into that too with the movement trays they offer.

Does warpath still use that multibasing thing? I think I'll stick with firefight. From the videos I've seen, the multibase style doesn't really work well in an urban environment, unless you set the terrain very wide apart. You might as well play KoW then.

Yes, Warpath is the game built around multibasing. I agree with you there, and yes, Firefight is the one you want.

From what I have seen, the only difference is the Multibasing in WP, while the mechanic how models are removed makes FF the better game
