Dark Skies on Kickstarter

[Dark Skies Staff]

Hey Guys, we need your help to make Dark Skies a reality

Dark Skies is an aerial combat wargame, the miniatures are 1:72 (24mm) aircraft with ww1/ww2 aesthetics with a touch of fantasy, from light fighters to huge flying carriers. There are 6 factions: The Kingdom of England, the Germanic Empire, The Kingdom of Iberia, the Russian Empire, the Gallic Duchy and the Foreign Legion (Mercenaries). Andy Chambers will do a final edit of the rules and Plastcraf will do the scenery.

Reminds me of Crimson Skies a bit...

Well, that's a compliment in my book. Here's a PDF with extra info about the game. A little bit of background and a Rules overview to give you a better idea of the game.

Not really impressed by this one. I would have focussed more on the models. Just my opinion, though.

[GrauGeist]

Except basically none of the models look like they could possibly dogfight. Give me a FW-190, and I should be able to own every single design that's been proposed.

A lot of new things and updates have been coming to the Dark Skies project! Please help us to make it a reality.

The game mechanics allows players to enjoy a 3D gameplay, the stands can go up and down to represent the different altitude levels and the manoeuvres and aerial techniques create an engaging system of air clashes.

Andy Chambers (extensive works on Warhammer 40.000, Starship Troopers, Dust Tactics, Necromunda, etc.) will do a final Edit on the rules to guarantee balanced and refined rules and Dylan Owen (Proof-read 42 titles for the Black Library) will proof-read the final version of the rulebook.



There are right now 5 factions, but more will be revealed in future! Check them out:

The Kingdom of England:
In the game board, the Kingdom of England has the most agile fighters in the Dark Skies: the Warfly, light armoured but high defence skills. The medium and heavy aircraft of the Kindom of England have one of the highest fire rate making dozens of gunfire bursts. More tactical players that what to make agile movements while heavier aircrafts give support fire, will enjoy playing with the Kindom of England Army.

...This comes from the previous post

The Germanic Empire:
In the game board, the Germanic possesses the superior fire power in the middle-heavy aircrafts. The lighter fighters like the Foker D1 are reliable and highly manoeuvrable allow the players to take advantageous positions. Offensive and daring players will be right at home with the Germanic army!



The Russian Empire:
The gameplay of the Russian army is based on the high number of its ranks to overwhelm and crush the enemy. The MS3 and the MS7 cover most of the needs any player would demand on any army, and you can flood the game board with them. The Black October is a hard hitter that provides heavy fire power to your vanguard. If you like big armies with lots of resources to overcome your enemies, the Russian Empire, is the perfect army for you.



The Cthulhu Creatures:
The Cthulhu are few in the game board but quite powerful and their unique rules and nature make the creatures an interesting army to play. Combining the resources and abilities of the different creatures can cause serious mayhem in the enemy lines but if the creatures are isolated and surrounded can be suppressed. Skilled players that know how to combine resources and love super-elite armies with few but impressive miniatures will find the in Cthulhu faction a source of unlimited fun.



The Foreign Legion (Mercenaries):

Players can fully customize their Foreign Legion army choosing aircrafts from any other faction and adding unique rules and aces to make their own individual armies. With just a few but very powerful miniatures the Foreign Legion is a great choice of an army for those players who like maximize their resources and use many powerful aces at the same time.
Lothar von Stauffemberg, Mike Yegar and Auryl the Winged are some examples of the Aces from the foreign Legion.

I remember seeing this earlier...

Good luck mate

Well, it's sure nice to see my beloved Polyps turn up in more games, and the design is cool. It's better than more boring cthulhu focussed stuff for sure, and polyps actually look good.
