    Default Sedition Wars, Get Involved!

    [URL="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coolminiornot/sedition-wars-battle-for-alabaster"]Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster[/URL] is up on kickstarter, it was fully funded in under six hours. Its been creeping up to $70,000, and already the game has been upgraded with some alternate grunts, some female and helmetless, plus backers at the $100+ range have already been upgraded with 12 extra grunts.

    The game is by Studio Mcvey, the company of Mike Mcvey who is famous for having worked with many well known miniature and game companies, GW included.

    The troops have a kind of halo look about them, and the enemy is a nano-virus that takes over and mutates your troops to its own will, very cool looking sculpts. The vanguard troops have been sculpted by Kev White of hasslefree fame, and their posture is excellent, as you would expect from Kev.

    If you've seen anything about the [URL="http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?t=21685"]Zombicide[/URL] kickstarter, you'll know that things can get crazy with the freebies as the game gets more popular.

    So come on, get involved, kickstarter is really a miniatures collector's utopia.

    The more funding this gets, the more minis we get. Zombiecide ended up getting bloated to nearly 120 miniatures.

    Sedition Wars is already at nearly 70 minis. This number will only grow as the the funding increases. Encourage your LGS to pick up one of the retailer packs.

    Support Mike McVey. A genuinely nice dude that just wants to make pretty minis and fun games for us to play with.

    I'm gonna be cautious and wait to see what the next stretch goal is before I jump on board. I just have too much stuff to paint and too many games to play to buy more stuff. I have neither the time nor the friends. The models do look lovely though.

    So we set it up chess-style and I'll play with you via email My Flamer guy to I-17. Firing on your Strain-a-ma-bob in square E-32.

    Mate, that sounds great
    I lost touch with all my games chums when I went to Uni. None of my buddies now are into this stuff at all. I have managed to get one guy to play a bit of Blood Bowl and one guy to play 2 games of Dust tactics. All my work chums are all a bit too cool for school to try and convince to roll some dice.
    I've tried hanging around my local GW but I haven't met anyone I get along with.
    I'm really jealous of you Americans and yous FLGS stores. When I watch the video battle reports, the shops look amazing and big.

    yeah the plight of the british independent store is a real bummer, but there are a few. theres one that opened in a nearby town to me, and is doing pretty well AFAIK.
    I'm afraid London may be a bit to cool for wargame stores lol.

    but i do feel your pain, ive been storing up board games such as super dungeon explore, with no one to play against lol, and ive just plonked for zombicide and sedition wars with no real thought about who might play the game with me lol, ah well, hopefully it'll sort itself out, or i'll start up a youtube channel like "watchitplayed" (i'm enjoying their SDE runthrough at the moment) and play against the general public via votes lol.

    What are you confused about?

    Also there are only 8 hours left! We're getting close to the end of the campaign.

    Biohazard packs so much damn goodness now - nearly 100 really beautiful models from Studio McVey! Excellent bargain for $100-$125 (international) shipping. Plus a host of optional extras include the crew of the Calamity which looks "eerily" like the Firefly crew, and a new Biohazard model that looks like Vin Diesel's Riddick...

    Mech "heavy lifter" suits available, not to mention a free one with the biohazard pledge!

    Not long left!

    I have a question, I was hoping someone who pledged for the Sedition Wars Kickstarter could help me with it.

    Do you know whether the crew of the Calamity will be available for sale once the models are out? They weren't KS only specials were they? Just wondering as I missed it, but would love to get these, especially as Bombshell Babes is making a 'Maelee the Mechanic' figure in their KS.
