"Its sad that you guys are ripping apart a game that you have not even given a chance to be released. Let alone tried playing. Do you know if it is lacking a campaign system? No as the rules are not out yet."

We aren't ripping apart "The game", some of us are commenting that the price seems a bit high to us for what you get. And some were wondering if it MIGHT have a decent campaign system with it as some were hoping for.

"Not every company has the funds to do plastic miniatures or pre painted miniatures yet it is just assumed that that is the norm. Why????"
I think you're reading something there that was never stated or intended. I was the one asking about exactly WHAT the minis were made of as I can't find any info on it either in the announcement or on their website.

"How about "These miniatures look interesting, I might have to see how the games plays." Instead of ripping it apart."

These minis look like well sculpted MEDIEVAL miniatures that I can easily pick up from various companies for much less than your $8.33 USD each. If I assign a nominal value of $20 USD for the basic rules they still cost appx. $6 USD each which is still a bit high for a medieval figure compared to readily available ones from historical lines.

If I find a quickstart or sample version I might see how the game plays, but I don't care to lay out $50 USD just to "see" how the rules work.

Fantization Miniatures is proud to present our new miniature line and game system, Rusted Heroes. This is a project that's been in the works for two plus years, and we're finally going to do a pre-launch at this upcoming Gen Con Indy 2008.

So what is the Rusted Heroes miniature line and game about? Rusted Heroes is a new 32mm tabletop miniature game designed and developed by Fantization Miniatures. It is set in a dark and cruel medieval world where steel and strength rule the battlefield. The Rusted Heroes game provides players with fast and exciting game play where superior tactics and a bit of luck can win the day.

We plan on launching with three core Starter War Band Box Sets and eighteen blisters. Each of the Starter War Band Box Sets will contain everything you need to get started playing the Rusted Heroes miniature game. Each box set will contain (x5) core faction miniatures, (x1) free mercenary miniature, the basic Rusted Heroes rules, (x2) ten sided dice and (x6) character stat cards. The starter rules are designed to get you playing the Rusted Heroes game quickly, and teaches you the core mechanics of the game system. When the time comes to expand your force, a simple point system makes it quick and easy.

Foot Knight w/ 2H Mace - Knight of the Rose

Rusted Heroes is launching officially in Q4 2008 with the Starter War Band Box Sets, with a tentative retail price of $49.99 USD each, and the blisters at $9.99 USD each. Additional releases will follow, expanding the Rusted Heroes product line. Look for the Fantization Miniatures/Rusted Heroes booth at Gen Con Indy - booth #1526, directly across from Reaper Miniatures. So stop by our booth for this exciting pre-launch and demo of our new line of miniatures and game system... Rusted Heroes!
