Anyone familiar with this upcoming release?

factionwars.co.uk/Gallery

Clearly a set of rules where you substitute your own minis for each faction; hence GW Space Marines and Pig Iron in same page!

Rules mechanism sounds straightforward; mix of IGO-UGO and infinity style AROs?

The rules aside I really like the terrain in these pics!!

Release date of 1st April is disconcerting though….

I think that Release date says it all, as all of the figures are GW Figures that have been only slightly modded.

lol

Maybe we should have chosen a different launch date? You're not the first person to mention it.

(And I admit that the web site needs updating with some fresh pics – I promise to get that sorted soon)

Anyone playing this?

Seems to lack "buzz" which is sad as I like to see generic rulesets that don't force you to use 'their' miniatures succeed.

Looking out for 28mm sci fi stuff as:

-Infinity is awesome but too demanding for terrain
-AE: Bounty somehow lacks the zing of AE: WWII
-Urban War/Rezolution adhere to their own, rather ugly mini line
-TW is more platoon scale (and also lacks something compared to FoF)

How does this line up compared to the above?

I see Wargame guru has a review out link

There seems no negatives but no real reason to race out and buy it either….
