Is it just me or did the orders move another step closer to LI?

Here's the correct picture of the tank - that was an old WIP before the front was corrected.

Ah that makes more sense Panther Grav tank looks more Enforcer design with the new nose.

Some Peacekeepers and Leapers in this pic as well

It seems like a refined (better) version of LI, with D8.

The Plague look excellent.

Now Andy Burdis is going in-house for Mantic, I'll happily have a look at some review sprues @mattjgilbert

Those models look nice, apart from the two random bits of metal on the end of the barrel on the Plague vehicle. Hope those get removed when they finalise the design.

Liking the look of the miniatures so far!

And the fact that they have put Epic in the title, lol.

Confirmation that 4 factions available on launch - Enforcers, Plague, Asterians and Forgefathers

We have 4 amazing sci-fi armies in Epic Warpath from the campaign launch day, all with their own unique strategies and backstory.

More renders

They've said on FB that rats will be a stretch goal

Also GCPS will be a stretch goal for the KS but 4 faction to start is already very good

That's very good news. I think just the two factions at launch would have got stale quite quickly (although one could say that Legions seems to be managing just fine with that!)

Is this the right place to ask if anyone knows when Dungeon Saga Origins is getting a general release?

KoW topic would be better
but retailers who did the Kickstarter have it already in stock, though without language packs which should be there end of January

the regular retail release is March/April

April/May

Thanks guys!

I'm really looking forward to seeing what tank designs they come up with for this game,bas hopefully the scale will allow for some radical things than the 28mm game.

On another train of thought...
Will Mantic rescale and use the Antares drone or Wolverine that's now in Firefight?

Well that is an interesting question.

End phase article

and last weeks terrain article

https://www.manticgames.com/epic-warpath/epic-warpath-terrain-in-an-epic-scale-wargame/

the terrain feels like a bit of an afterthought but if it saves budget for other new stuff I guess it's okay and at least there's a few new parts

Also Asterian and FF previews

Oh yeah....

I have an Asterian starter I recently bought for Fire Fight ... that I would happily bin to run them in Warpath instead Anyway, Mantic has my attention as factions have expanded.

Those minis are looking good so far.

I don't know if anyone locally would play it but I may be interested in jumping in just because I think forge fathers at this scale could be fun to model and paint.

From Ronnie's fb page:

Dem Mules

guess those are still the 3D test prints, but still impressive pic

and vehicles need to be on bases

It's nice to see them printed and painted, it's super-hard to judge small scale minis on the render alone since the proportions will always look off and the foreshortening of 3d rendering doesn't always match reality all that well if the camera is too close in the software (you want wide angle view, high res and crop the render rather than moving the camera closer).

Same thing occurred with the Empire of Dust sculpts where the renders made it look like the spears were massive and tapered, whereas the sculpts IRL (I have some) are proportioned just fine.

Even some basic cellphone pics of an unpainted test print will look way better.

I'm looking foward to going all-in with this one, it's looking great and I hope it'll provide prototypes for vehicles which will then find their way into 28mm scale and firefight (even if just in STL form, that would still be fantastic, I want those Lancer tanks!).

Troublemaker Games plastic terrain! Awesome!

Very excited for this one. Another "all-in" backer here.

I have surgery scheduled for right after the KS launches, so my "You've got this, be strong." reward to myself is to go haaaaaaaaaard on this KS.

I just want each vehicle, etc... to be less of a chore to build than Imperialis. Those are overdetailed, and occasionally excessive and as I get older I want less barriers to actually starting to play.

Yes that is my hope too. I did actually enjoy playing Legions but have got no misconceptions that it will be almost impossible to introduce to casual wargaming friends, it requires just too much of an investment of time and energy.

I'm hoping this game will fill that void with a small scale game that is easily accessible and reasonably priced. Mantic games always seem to have pretty good and friendly groups that form around them too, for events and so forth.
