"INVASION Kickstarter. 18mm Sci-fi miniatures" Topic

Vedra games is releasing a kickstarter next April 1st for their miniatures game INVASION. Check out the preview of the campaign on this link:

The INVASION kickstarter will consist of a two player starter box with a total of 36 high quality miniatures, for two of the four original Flesh and Steel factions: the Union of Terra, and Heimdall Industries. The other two factions, Centauri Brotherhood and the Ascaryan Infestation will be released in the near future.

The box will also include 40 Markers (Cardboard), 30 Health Marker Tokens, 7 Dice, one Cardstock Ruler, one Starter Terrain Kit (5 buildings and 9 walls, in foldable cardstock) and a 48 page Rulebook.

Digging the style a lot. Channeling some Borderlands in there :)

18mm? I really, really do not need another scale.

Really good faces on those.

@Allen57: have you measured any of your "15mm" minis lately?

:)

Just truth in advertising, about the 18mm figs, which I applaud.

Yeah, I'm thinking it'll be a lot closer to what size our figures actually are :-)

Here I go again….

Thanks for the comments!

Our standard human infantry is 18mm to the eyes, but there are other models, like the Heimdall Agent (you have it on the first pic, to the right), that are 21mm to the eyes. This is roughly a 1/90 scale.

Our vehicles on the other hand, are 1/100 (slightly smaller in scale to make them more practical to play with and more visually coherent on the table).

We will post more pictures in the next few days of both infantry and vehicles so that you can get a better impression.

Cheers!

Colour me interested.

These are right up my street.

"18mm to the eyes"
So you mean to say these are actually 20 mm miniatures? Because the way I see it, 18mm minis are 15mm minis measured to the eye.

Pass. Decent figures but all those counters? Not for me.

Success in your efforts.

Silly question: does the height to eye include the base, or is it foot to eye?

Regards,

Scott Chisholm

If you put it that way, you are absolutely correct, Lupulus :)

The "to the eyes" measure is just bit more accurate, that´s all (it avoids hats, helmets, spiky hair and all that fun stuff).

Scott, the measurement is feet to eyes, without the base.

Mute Bystander, you won´t need all the counters all the time!

Health markers are actually little pegs that come in 3 colours (yellow, orange, and red) to indicate wounds, by inserting them in a little hole on the base of the figure (instead of using a die next to the figure to indicate wounds). You will obviously use a few of them at any given time but there needs to be a good number of them available!

The bases on the pic are wood, but the ones in the game box will be plastic.

Activation markers are used to count the Command points you are spending (you can count them however you like but we provide little markers for you).

The rest of the markers are the fewer of the lot, and are used to count impacts or mark statuses (stunned, etc). Some represent resources that you need to capture in Special Missions, and etc.

Please keep in mind that final colours may vary from the ones on the picture.

In fewer words, we are providing you with absoulutely everything you´ll need to play both simple and complex missions, but the actual gameplay is not crowded with counters at all ;)

Hope this clarifies!

What's the diameter of the bases? 2cm?

Hi! the bases are 25mm. The figures on the picture belong to Heimdall Industries, a slightly taller type of human.

Here´s some pics of the Union of Terra brigades, the standard human, next to a Heimdall Agent:

And since we are at it, here is the Union of Terra Hunter, as we promised earlier (its base is 50mm):

Remember you can find all this and more in the Kickstarter project´s webpage:

On the banner you can see these renders:

Union of Terra´s Major Battleloid, a powerful bipod (on a 50mm base):

Union of Terra´s TAT, an armoured troop transport (on a 50mm base):

And this one gives you an idea of how our renders translate into real resin figures. Pretty accurate!:

Here is one of them:

With a little work, I can turn that into a vertibird…

We´d love to see that conversion!

We have posted a new update, explaining the plot behind the INVASION campaign.

The INVASION Game Box is designed to be a playabe campaign to be developped by players in several missions, here you can find the plot leading to the events presented in INVASION:

Hello,

A quick update to let you know we have closed the project in order to make some improvements. Here is the link to the final update, explaining our plans for the future:

A big thank you for the comments, they help us get better.

In the meantime, we will post our progress here and here in our Facebook page, you are welcome to join us:

See you soon!

My advice? Just pay for it yourself and release the minis as per pre-kickstarter standards.

You already have the work done. Just throw down on molding, get any dreams of plastics out of your head and start casting.

If they were 15mm to the eyes or so would have jumped at it.

20mm I have no need for, at all.

Hi, we are going to open the campaign again with several changes. You have the new thread here:theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=422777

Cheers
