Terminator Genisys: War Against the Machines is the wargame version with rulebook and Kyle Reese with an MSRP of $110 USD USD and is currently available

Terminator Genisys: Battle for the Future is the boardgame version with quick-play rules and no Kyle Reese with an MSRP of $80 USD USD and is pre-order only (releases next month)

If you are seeing a copy for $59 USD, it is most likely the board game version that does not have the rulebook nor Kyle Reese, offered at 25% off. So definitely not "jammed packed with rules" as it only comes with like an 8 page leaflet. So if miniatures are all that you care about, then definitely get the board game version (though you won't get Kyle Reese)

And just so you're aware, the Terminator figures are sculpted by Michael Perry and Bob Naismith and are produced by Warlord and Renedra (who makes Perry's and Fireforge's plastics)

With the much-anticipated release of the new Terminator movie almost upon us, we are now able to make the equally anticipated Terminator miniatures game – War Against the Machine – available to buy!

The War Against the Machines, produced by River Horse, opens up a whole world of Terminator Genisys wargaming. The Endoskeletons and Human Resistance fighters in the main set will plunge you straight into the desperate battle for survival – but this is just the start.

  • Advanced Rules covering commanders, different weapons, vehicles, transports, and even VTOLs such as Hunter-Killer Gunships.
  • Battle Scenarios – a matrix of 36 balanced games.
  • Force Lists. Statlines and special rules for all models and weapons of the Human Resistance and Skynet's Machines.
  • Narrative Scenarios – recreating the events of the War Against the Machines.

Pitting the Terminators of Cyberdine against the human resistance, War against the Machines brings all our favorites to the fight – John Connor, Sarah Connor, Kyle Rees and, of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger is back (he said he would be…)!

And the lethal T-1000 Terminator will also be making an appearance…
