wrong topic

They had some of the new Epic Warpath minis on display at Salute over the weekend - really neat looking and definitely comparable to Legions I would say. For those concerned about scale of the infantry (and them being too big at 10mm scale) I would say looking at them in person will allay those fears - these things are still bloody tiny.

The Mantic guy I spoke to said the vehicles they had there will probably be slightly larger than the prototypes I saw - apparently they are going to put them on a larger sprue and are putting them in bigger boxes than usual to accommodate. Also they will be a lot less parts than the GW equivalents (which must be a response to a common complaint about the kits for that game). Idea is you get them out and on the tabletop quickly.

Also said they had about 140 people playtesting the game! (Although he didn't say how many actually enjoyed it ) I should have quipped that is probably 138 more than Legions had..

I would say if not every playtester liked what they have seen, it would benefit the game much more than if everyone of those is happy

for updates, new concepts art and renders

They still haven't posted a faction breakdown for nameless

If their scout units aren't called "Squidwards" I'm handing in my Mantic Points.

We've had about 100 playtest battles submitted in the first round of testing. There will be at least four rounds, probably five. The overall impression is extremely positive and everyone has found the game really fun and easy to play. I've still made tons of changes and edits based on all the feedback though for the things that were wrong, felt off, pointed wrong, confusing in the rules etc.

The next stage of testing begins this weekend and the focus is on the scenarios and the components that feed into them).

Will future rounds open to more/new playtesters?

Only if I have some drop-outs I think. Managing 140 people isn't easy!

I like that fighter. Will there be fighters for other factions?
