We're very excited to announce the launch of our first two 10mm Sci-Fi ranges! The Human Collective and Human Empirical are now up on the website and available.

With the launch of Games Workshop's new Epic (in 8mm) and the impending launch of Mantic's Epic too (in 12mm), 2024 is going to be a massive year for smaller scale Sci-Fi games. We'll be working on our own Future War Commander rules over the course of the year, so we'll have more news on that for you as we progress.

These packs are all structured to provide a unit/base worth of figures, aside from the infantry that come in larger packs. The vehicles include driver/commander torsos too, to add a bit of extra detail.

All of these new figures are sculpted by Phil Lewis, along with vehicles/support weapons by Dennis Smith.

The next two ranges will be launched in around a fortnight, and then the 5th & 6th ranges will arrive in early February.

I have the original Future War Commander hardcopy and it always felt like an Ancients ruleset with tanks tacked on and then lasers tacked onto that. I hope 2.0 feels more sci-fi.

Our author has got some good ideas for the new edition and we'll also be doing a full reworking of the text itself to make things clearer and more concise. All of the Commander rulesets (Blitzkrieg, Cold War and Future War) were originally very similar to the Warmaster engine so that would tally with your feeling.

We're ploughing ahead with our Sci-Fi expansion with the next two ranges now available! This batch contains the Human Corporate and Human Theological factions, both using anti-grav technology.

These packs are all structured to provide a unit/base worth of figures, aside from the infantry that come in larger packs.  The vehicles include driver/commander torsos too, to add a bit of extra detail. 

All of these new figures are sculpted by Phil Lewis, along with vehicles/support weapons by Dennis Smith.

Ranges 5 & 6 will be coming along in the next 2-3 weeks!

We've got some more Sci-Fi releases for you next with ranges 5 and 6 now up on the website.  The Griffon are an authoritarian state with some definite M113 vibes about their vehicles.  The Free States are a smaller mercenary based range with some really nice gun platforms for their artillery.

These packs are all structured to provide a unit/base worth of figures, aside from the infantry that come in larger packs.  The vehicles include driver/commander torsos too, to add a bit of extra detail. 

All of these new figures are sculpted by Phil Lewis, along with vehicles/support weapons by Dennis Smith.

I like these ranges a lot. A good amount of variety, but you can still look at a unit across the factions and know what they are on site.

Any ETA on the new edition of Future War Commander?

Glad you like them! Future War Commander is probably going to be end of the year / early 2025 I think. The author has started work on the tweaks and new mechanisms but there's a lot to be done yet.
