War Rocket - New Game Planned for Summer 2008
Our 32mm Pulp sci-fi figures have proven wildly popular, and we are currently working on more Pulp sci-fi goodies. In addition, we are extremely excited to announce our upcoming product War Rocket - the game of Pulp sci-fi space combat. The rules are being designed by master painter Dave Pauwels, and will focus on the smaller spaceship missions that are the mainstay of Pulp sci-fi comics such as Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, or Dan Dare. War Rocket is designed to be a fun-and-fast mission-centered game in which each player controls no more than a dozen sparking, buzzing rocketships.
The miniatures are being created by 3D designer Phil Beauchamp, and the masters were output using a 3D printer. Metal castings are made from these resin masters, and the detail on these models is incredible. The scale of the rockets is approximately 1:285 (6mm), and most spaceships will be 1 to 3 inches long. However, we'll be designing larger battleships that will be 4-5 inches long.
Currently, there are four factions in development: Galacteers (Galactic Space Patrol), Imperial Forces of Marduk the Tyrant, Zenithian saucer-men, and Space Pirates/Marauders. The two ships in the illustration above are from the Galacteer faction.
