The walkers might also be useful as very large walkers for 6mm. Doug |
Shedman | 24 Apr 2014 12:12 p.m. PST |
Very nice Is anyone in the UK stocking them? |
NickNorthStar | 24 Apr 2014 12:27 p.m. PST |
North Star will be stocking this range, plus we'll be wholesaling, so I'm expecting this line to be available from lots of good stockists. Nick northstarfigures.com PS The pre-order deal will be on the site tonight. |

I went in heavy on the KS so I'll be assembling and painting well past my expiration date. |
Stealth1000 | 24 Apr 2014 2:06 p.m. PST |
This looks kinda interesting. So glad its 15mm. This could catch on down my club. Good stuff. |
PzGeneral | 24 Apr 2014 3:21 p.m. PST |
I dropped a bunch on the KS too
.my plan is (since I'm the world's slowest painter) do up the "Starter Set" first, then try to add more stuff as we play
.I got trenches to help repulse the Martian attacks, but also a crashed pod for when the Humans go on the offensive!!!! |
NickNorthStar | 24 Apr 2014 3:28 p.m. PST |
We're getting involved. link |
Mingans Marauders | 24 Apr 2014 8:23 p.m. PST |
My group can't wait for our KS stuff. I bought the massive Overload which I can't wait to see a photo of. |
Dasher | 24 Apr 2014 8:39 p.m. PST |
Anyone who knows me knows that I am death on 15mm; I own virtually none. This game, ALONE, made me break a 35-year personal boycott of 15mm figures and I dove in head first, never looked back, [insert metaphor for absolute commitment here]. I am so excited to b a part of the KS for this and so happy to see I will have LOTS of other people to play it with! HOORAY!!! |
Angel Barracks | 25 Apr 2014 2:53 a.m. PST |
This is one of the few things, very few things, that could tempt me away from 6mm. |
DGT123 | 25 Apr 2014 4:23 a.m. PST |
Yep I did heavy on the kickstarter too. Cant wait till I get my land ironclad! |
Aladdin | 25 Apr 2014 4:26 p.m. PST |
This is going to be great! |
RazorMind | 25 Apr 2014 5:45 p.m. PST |
minis look great, but does anyone have a summary or review of the game play? |
Aladdin | 25 Apr 2014 6:06 p.m. PST |
I don't really have a review of it, but I played a demo of it from the human side. It was alot of fun playing 'rock, paper, scissors' with all the various human innovations. You may be technically outgunned, but you can really put the hurt on the Martians when one of your prototype technologies goes off as planned. The Tesla tank is awe-inspiring if you can get a shot in at the right moment. I kamikaze'd with my minelaying tank, driving right up to the feet of a strider dropping mines and some combination of me and the strider set one off, destroying us both. The humans do very well when dug in, and the machine guns can do a surprising amount of damage when they mass their fire. Things I learned to hate: hordes of drones swarming over my tank units, and the black smoke being lobbed in by the Martian grenadier tripods at long range. I didn't get to see the human heavy infantry in action, and can only imagine the destructive power of the larger human and Martian units. I think they give some idea of the mechanics of the game in one of their video segments- possibly on youtube or on their blog. |
ScottWashburn | 25 Apr 2014 6:39 p.m. PST |
I've been fascinated from early on with this and I've had some great one-on-one conversations with Ernie Baker and I'm incredibly impressed with his drive to produce a truly exceptional product. I don't think anyone will be disappointed! |
Allen57 | 25 Apr 2014 6:50 p.m. PST |
Are the Martian units all tripods? Any infantry or flying units? |
Ivan DBA | 25 Apr 2014 10:01 p.m. PST |
They have re-animated corpse infantry, and both walker and hovering drones, aside from the Tripods (of which there are several types). |
Whatisitgood4atwork | 25 Apr 2014 10:04 p.m. PST |
I do not need another field to wargame. I do not need
But these look mighty tempting. Great idea meets great looking models. Oh dear. |
ajbartman | 25 Apr 2014 11:11 p.m. PST |
There's some videos on their website. I know of these one: YouTube link |
WarWizard | 26 Apr 2014 1:58 a.m. PST |
Saw all these items in person. They are quite awesome. Photos do not do justice. My favorites are the assault tripods. But all are very "cool". |
Porkmann | 26 Apr 2014 3:09 a.m. PST |
Nice looking models. Surely everyone is going to go tripod! |
Manflesh | 26 Apr 2014 3:19 a.m. PST |
I have downloaded the Martian horn sound to my phone to play during games. I for one welcome our tripod overlords

Porkmann | 26 Apr 2014 3:51 a.m. PST |
I used to meet a Tripod every day on the way to my former office. He was quite jolly. Although the the position of his legs suggest he may have had one Martian schnapps too many.
|
Slotministry | 26 Apr 2014 5:31 a.m. PST |
Yep, I bought in big on the KS too. If I can get my painting arm in gear, I'll make sure games are run at Fall-in and Cold Wars since I live in the area. |
Allen57 | 26 Apr 2014 5:47 a.m. PST |
Hey porkman. That tripod is kinda cool. Where is it? |
Porkmann | 26 Apr 2014 5:50 a.m. PST |
Allen,he is in the dreadful commuter town of Woking, Surrey! There is an H.G. connection hence the tripod 😀 My office was in the building at the end of the street until redundancy surfaced! |
legatushedlius | 26 Apr 2014 7:14 a.m. PST |
Being in a tripod might help you to get out of Woking's horrible one-way traffic system, at least. I don't like 15mm but still
maybe when the British come out! |
Allen57 | 26 Apr 2014 7:57 a.m. PST |
Hmmmm! Woking. Long way from Minnesota just to get a look and a picture. Guess I will copy yours. Im having a hard time resisting this game. I don't do 15mm but it is certainly tempting. All the miniatures I have seen so far look really great but I can do WotW in 2 or 6mm with the models I already have. Can anyone give a review of the rules? I could see myself buying those. |
Porkmann | 26 Apr 2014 8:00 a.m. PST |
I have ideas for my remaining 1914 Germans. As for Woking, it is not worth a 5 minute drive 😢 Although there is a good vegetable market on Fridays

Grignotage | 26 Apr 2014 12:29 p.m. PST |
I love this range! I unfortunately didn't have the funds at the time to support the kickstarter, but I think I'll be buying some of these soon. |
Orcbuddy | 26 Apr 2014 8:27 p.m. PST |
I also went in big on the Kickstarter
..like I needed another project
..going with the largest pledge level and a bunch of add-on's. But it was just too tempting and you really got a tripod-load of stuff. Plus, they're already looking at who'll be in the next round of belligerents produced for this little solar system set-to and they look great! |
madmick | 26 Apr 2014 9:33 p.m. PST |
Curteys Miniatures will be carrying stock at UK shows aswell as on the web. |
Porkmann | 27 Apr 2014 5:58 a.m. PST |
I reckon those Weird World War One figures from Warrior will be great for this in 28mm. Perhaps with a few LKII courtesy of Tobsen 77. Now I have to figure oit where to source big tripods. |
NickNorthStar | 28 Apr 2014 4:41 a.m. PST |
We've announced our pre-order selection for All Quiet.. link |
Bob Runnicles | 28 Apr 2014 8:41 a.m. PST |
"I love this range! I unfortunately didn't have the funds at the time to support the kickstarter, but I think I'll be buying some of these soon." You and me both, Grignotage! Really wanted in on the KS but the timing was bad; definitely planning on getting into the game once it hits general release. Obviously it looks like Architects of War are going to be carrying it in the US, any else? Warstore? |
