Guess I'll chime in here, and apparently in the minority.
 :)
I'm looking forward to seeing what FFG can do with the CMG.
As a general rule FFG produces games that are well done and have high quality components.
And as a big fan of pre-painted plastics, the way I look at it is even if the game doesn't end up being very good, at the very least it'll be another potential source for miniatures.

So - anyone have any news or update on this? I was talking with them about play testing, etc and was interested in the product. But nothing ever came of it and they didn't respond to my last couple of emails.
What's the scoop? Anyone helping with this? How far along is it? Any details you're allowed to share?

I got suckered into mage knight. I will NEVER play a collectable mini game again. If you;re opponent is some bratty 12 year old with daddy warbucks parents you are toast.

They will find a place on my "display" shelf, where all the cool minis that i come across go and sit and look nice and never get used.

I think if they are collectible, but not in a mage knight format (ie: we get to see what we buy before hand) it might be pretty cool, you can throw down and not worry about chipping paint or rarity of your oop metal mini. I would love to show up with a sand bucket full of wolfbanes, and spill them out on the table..

We will see..

That is why they want to do the bigger size

... which is a 100% turndown to me..


both sides shall spill their bucket on the table (in sellers view).

also: I think that new players using the plastics will be feeling unpleasent, if they play/see "old" WZ players in the comic shop. (mine are better, they are metal and old  :D -> aww... :'()

-> the games will most likely not be compatible, perhaps even with new units

I believe they moved the release date from Oct. 2006 to May 2007.

That does not instill a load of confidence in an already questionable situation.

The CMG is delayed because the movie is delayed (the rpg and the comic-book probably also). Summer 2007 is the new target release date for the movie. As all of those release dates will be probably synchronized with the motion picture, there is nothing to worry about.
I'm worried about something else - they want to change Mutant Chronicles into a steam-punk world. MC: CMG will probably reflect those changes also.

Can't say steampunk does it for me either.

Steampunk could be done well, It's just that the Mutant Chronicles always had a cool dark-techno-noir-pulp feeling, that is really unique to it.  I'd be sad to see that go. :(

I have the 4th issue.  Can't seem to find the others.  I will say it is the source of at least 50% of the special characters.
