Have ya'll seen the Kickstarter for this??
I'm not sure about the forum rules, so I'm not gonna link it.
Just Google Sedition Wars and look for kickstarter.com.
The project ends at 2PM PDT on 30 June (6 days as of the typing).
I'm in for a Biohazard level (lots of extras) plus a few of the pay for them extras.
-
$100 for that level, but considering all the perks that have been added due to the overwhelming response by players, it could be worth it. It certainly is a pretty enough game!
Here's my personal issue, though. I already own Doom: The Boardgame, Gears of War, Incursion, Space Hulk, Mutant Chronicles: Siege of the Citadel and Space Crusade. Will SW:BfA give me something I don't already have?
-
Ya know what? I can't really answer that as I'm interested in the game for the minis and haven't even watched the game play video on kickstarter yet.
And the only game you mentioned that I have I haven't even looked at the rules for more than a decade (SotC). So I don't remember how it played.
Sorry I couldn't be more informative about the game play.
-
I watched their video on the Kickstarter page. It looks like they've taken the plot of AT-43 (centralized gov't vs socialized rebellion) and added in Dead Space/Doom/WZ (half-bio/half-mechanized enemies). All on a space station. The minis are gorgeous.

WooHoooo !!!! I get my sexy Strained Dr. Phaedrus !!!
At $460K we get miniatures for Strain Bonecrabs....yeah, not really grabbin' me either. But....
At $470K we get a not-River and a not-Jane to go with the not-Mal and not-Zoe that are available as an extra !!! !!!
-
Link it if you want. This is the talk on every minis forum right now. The section for Other Games and Models is here for discussion.
Mod hat off.

I probably should have jumped on this, as the game came out to be less than $1 per mini, but I failed...epically.

I'm with The Brotherhood, this is Sanctioned necromancy....no really....OK, stop pointing guns at me.
Project Update #76: UK containers unloaded!
Posted by CoolMiniOrNot Like
So looks like both the USA and the UK warehouses are in a race to ship out this week (and possibly into next week). UK has less to ship, but still needs some packing materials, so we'll see who gets done first.
European backers, we'll update again when shipping begins proper and batch emails start going out. That is all, CMON out.
Care to comment? View this update on Kickstarter →

You'll have to inform us how it all looks and even more importantly, how it plays!

Project Update #78: Alternate Kara stat card
Posted by CoolMiniOrNot Like
Now that shipping is underway, here's a link to alternate Kara's stat card, the resin version included in Biohazard and above pledges.
http://www.coolminiornot.com/images/kickstarter-sw/ALT-Kara_Black_v3.pdf
That's a high res version suitable for printing, and the JPEG version is below.
For EU based backers, HM (no S) customs is still saying they are backlogged so we've gone ahead and shipped everything else today, and your Karas will follow once the government figures out that they're harmless. Just one of those things, please accept our apologies for the wait.
With any luck, everyone, everywhere will have their games this week, except maybe Australia / New Zealand which takes a little longer to transit.
Still waiting
-
1700 or so out last week in the USA, we might be seeing ours soon.
Clearing my painting table for this, I will be running scenarios at dreamation for it. This does not stop anybody else from running it also, I'm only running one slot of it, so if you want to get in I think they are accepting GMs for a little while longer.
Been playing Blackwater gulch (rules are free), very simple cool game!
Really looking forward to seeing this box on my steps....

My preciousssses are getting closer!!!!
Tracking says they're in my state. So I'll have them on Friday, Saturday or Monday.
-
Got mine and am assembling, it's a nice overall package. I am a bit disappointed with the plastic personally, but others say it's fine. The game looks great though overall, I hope to get to play the first mission Sunday.
-
Nope! According to FedEx it's not getting to me until Tue.
It left Bloomington, CA at 0453 this morning. 98 miles away.
It arrived in Chino, CA at 2005 today. 104 miles away. Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

You'll be needing to fill a fair few figures as well as boil a handful of them, they do not fit together properly. All the complex strain models are warped in some way. The only thing I can think is they pulled the figs from the molds while they were hot so they warped. Even some of my one piece models had to be heated as the feet were horribly crooked. Pity to ruin such nice figures with shoddy casting. A lot don't matter that they are warped, but feet are important.
Also, the Biohazard cards are a different size and colors are different. The tokens in my set of off-cut (not as bad as first edition SDE, but still losing a smidge of graphics on most of them)
I personally expected a bit more from them in terms of quality control for the components, however it was a steal for the price I paid.
Now, from reading the rules and looking over everything the game mechanics look top notch, even my wife was impressed with the rulebook layout, it is nice and easy to follow.
-
That's good to hear (about the rules).
I guess I'll find out today.
As of 0815 this morning my box is supposedly Out for Delivery with the USPS in San Diego.
-
I just got my preciousssssses.
-
And???!!!! Or does this mean we won't be hearing from you for a while?
-
There is a level of shock when you get a game of this magnitude. He'll recover eventually.
-
I'm going to do inventory on Monday, for at least one of my Biohazard sets.
-

Could you post some description? I´ve read what little of the background they provided on the site (which didn´t go very far), and I´m curious.
It looks like a modernised Space Hulk / Space Crusade / Fury of the Clansmen / Siege of the Citadel to me, judging from the pictures. (I´m an avowed fan of those games.)
-
What did you think of the minis now you have them, I was quite pleased with my set to be honest and a lot less mold lines on them than people were saying and a lot less than my dreadball figures.
Do you plan to fix them to the bases and then paint them or paint both separately? I personally am looking at painting them separately as the bases are really nice.

Haven't read the rules yet, but it does look like a Space Hulk, Siege of the Citadel, Legions of Steel type of game.
Here's a thread with links to a bunch of reviews.
