They might even benefit each other. Like someone might post a link to the FFG board game and someone else might say something like "Oh that's cool, have you heard about this other Fallout game by Modiphius?"


Those Synth models look really good. The Institute never really appealed to me, but I'll probably still get several of the Synths just because they're awesome looking.

Also, I get that slagging Preston's garbage Radiant spam is practically a meme now, but seriously have these people never heard of mods? There are almost more ways to shut him up than there are hideous giganto-boob skimpy clothing mods.

Some Brotherhood Knights in fatigues would be nice.

One of the Brotherhood guys is new to me, but seeing the ones with combat armor there, I hope we get models with light combat armor, too. If not in a single faction, maybe Gunners instead of Brotherhood? It would be good to have access to as many armor variants as possible so you can make a lightly armored recon squad and reserve heavy armor for assault teams.

We've been getting a lot of questions about the previously announced PVC starter and how it's different to the resin set so I added an FAQ over on Boardgamegeek

https://boardgamegeek.com/article/26604501#26604501

Looking forward to showing off the models at Gencon next week - come and say hello.

We've been getting a lot of questions about the previously announced PVC starter set so here's a few FAQ's.

Fallout: Wasteland Warfare is designed to appeal to wargamers and miniatures fans alike with it's high quality sculpts, however we realise not everyone wants to break out the glue and stick the arms on, no matter how easy we make it, or how cool the miniature looks after :-)

Q) Will both starter boxes include the same stuff?

We're planning two versions of the starter set, both will include all the same rules components - rules, dice, counters, cards. Each will include a different selection of miniatures - one in high quality resin, the other pre-assembled PVC figures. The PVC set will include more figures and as a result, a different set of scenarios (though we'll make both starter set scenarios available online in PDF)

Q) Will I have to buy the PVC starter set to get all the miniatures?

The PVC starter set will include figures that you can already get in resin. We're not forcing collectors to get this set so they have all the designs. However they will be identical scale so if you want to quickly expand your collection it will be a great way to do it at a very affordable price.

Q) When are they coming out?

The resin starter set is planned for the pre-order whilst the PVC set is planned for February/March

Q)Can I play it straight out of the box?

You can play the PVC starter set straight out of the box as the figures are pre-assembled - we even give you an introductory set of missions to learn the rules. The resin set will need a small amount of assembly but we're making this as easy as possible.

Q) How many players can you have?

Fallout: Wasteland Warfare is designed as a traditional player vs player miniatures game experience. However we're also including solo rules and a solo campaign so you can play on your own, or play co-op with a friend against the game.

Q) What do you do in the game?

It is a miniatures wargame so you'll be fighting each other's forces however we're also drawing on the video game experience so you'll be hacking terminals, searching Nuka Cola machines, rusted Sedans and Vault-Tec Containers either for loot or caps or as part of narrative storylines. You'll be fighting against the wasteland itself as radiation, dust storms and grotesque creatures and robots try to take you down. You can play straight points (caps!) based battles or follow a campaign storyline and slowly evolve your crew with bonuses based on how you upgrade your settlement.

Q) Do I have to buy loads of expansions?

The base set should be enough for plenty of games - regardless of which one you buy, however each expansion will give you more characters or units, from different factions, plus new AI and Encounter cards that will enhance the experience. We'll be uploading free missions online to keep you entertained as well releasing bigger campaign boxed sets that give you lots of new features.

Q) Will the starter sets be available in other languages?

We will be working with localisation partners to bring both the resin and PVC starter sets to France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Spain and more. Realistically with the time it takes for approvals these versions will come out later in the summer 2018

If you have more FAQ's you'd like answered please add them below.

1.) Do you have a more definite date for when the pre-orders will start?

2.) Will you have a cool "all in" pre-order box similar to the Borg Cube?

3.) Will there be flavour text in the scenarios/cards?

4.) Will there be branching story lines/scenarios? And will the choices you make alter the encounter decks? (Something like if you do this remove card 43 and add card 122 to the deck etc.) [/q]

Hi there,
1) We're aiming for end of August, early September - it's 'when it's ready' as we want everything to be sorted first. We're as keen as you are to get it on pre-order.

2) Yes though not quite as big...

3) Yes there will be flavour text, the scenarios will draw on stories from the Fallout games.

4) That sounds more like the planned boardgame. We have quest cards that require different objectives to be met, and lead to cool rewards though this can also affect the in-game wasteland event deck as a result. We also have branching scenarios with narrative missions - depending how one ends will affect the next.

Hope that helps!

Looking at what I am looking at on my desk at the moment, I'd say pretty darn well...

The tease is strong with this one!

If the PVC looks good I'd probably pre-order both a resin starter set and a PVC starter set.
