I understand the rules they demonstrated at Adepticon were streamlined and fun. Then Palladium Games demanded they make some changes...Stark wrote:Its a bit sad it looks mechanically like an 80s game too, and not a sophisticated modern game. Sort of a missed opportunity to do something actually good.
I know, I know, criticising a Kickstarter for selling on flash and not content is like kicking babies.
If they're in scale with Battletech they almost certainly won't be, because it's 6mm scale, so its robits are only a couple of centimetres tall. Trying to make something in that scale with significant articulation will just mean it will break. You'll get to choose how to stick the arms on, and if you're good at conversions you might be able to do something depending on what plastic they use.Stark wrote: If those guys aren't articulated though it'll kind of make me laugh. :V
It really depends on the Kickstarter in question. Renders generally result in more satisfying miniatures than projects sold on just the concept art and design sketches.Stark wrote:That's probably a good way to look at it; the miniatures are likely to be fine (assuming they deliver) regardless of the game, and they're a common scale.

Regarding board and minature kickstarters, I've always been pleased by how many there are (given that they don't actually require a huge investment, can be interesting, don't take three years like shit PC games etc). Do the physical components come out as poor quality? I understand many projects have used renders or higher-quality prototypes in their KS pages,

A VF1 standing up should be maybe 14-15 meters tall, and in 1/285 that's 4.5 centimeters (or as I call it, gashapon size :v). Maybe they're just bigger than they look.Bob the Gunslinger wrote:I've been following that indiegogo, too. I won't get anything until they split the sprues, though, since I don't like orks.
Stark, the individual figures in the indiegogo are supposed to be 6mm tall. For Robotech, the cockpits for the Veritechs should hold a 6mm man, but the Zentraedi should be roughly the size of a 28mm space marine because they are huge.
