finds a 3D model on the internet, and tries to turn it into a wargaming model.
We are pleased to announce our upcoming new game and range of 28mm Pulp/B-Movie figures, Golgo Island!
Golgo Island is the result of the association of:
- Monolith Designs, manufacturers of high quality resin terrain, as well as of the Graven Image and From Beyond figure ranges.
- Dark Tortoise Productions, editors of the WarEngine, the universal and now open-source ruleset which originated ShockForce and GWAR, Rumble in Antarctica.
- Sylvain Boudeele (of the Iron Dream Tournament committee), who designed and sculpted the figures, and tweaked the WarEngine to this new setting of character-driven adventure.
The first release should be out by the end of the year, and will include 12 fearless characters, 5 brain-eating modern zombies, and 2 multi-part hairy atomic mutant creatures, together with a set of rules using the WarEngine – and available for free from the WarEngine Wiki.
Previewed here are the first miniatures out of the master moulds at Monolith Designs:
- Robert Leclerc, international-class secret agent
- Gunther, baseball bat-wielding maniac
- Renato Ramirez, clone in fancy dress.
- Thor Pasadenas, luchador (wrestler) with a heart of gold
The other miniatures will be moulded very soon, and include more wacky figures for some fast-paced, two-fisted, and firmly tongue-in-the-cheek action.
Sculpted by Sylvain Boudeele (with the help of a few Hasslefree bits and bobs), the figures are 28mm scale and cast in pewter with an integral base – pictured plastic bases are not included.
Though pricing is still subject to change, they should be sold by Monolith Designs in packs of 4 or 5 (depending on type and size) for £5.00 GBP.
Together with the free rules, this may be the opportunity you were looking for to give the WarEngine a try or to get into a new exciting gaming genre at an affordable price.
