Ok here's the next board game from Cool Mini or Not!
find them here: Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster

Quote:

Sedition Wars : Battle for Alabaster is a fast paced tactical miniatures game for two players, developed by Studio McVey and published by CoolMiniOrNot. Survival horror at its finest, game play is fast and bloody – creating urgency and claustrophobic terror, as the Vanguard fight for their very lives against an unrelenting nightmare. Battle for Alabaster is the first part in the Sedition Wars game experience. Future expansions will introduce exciting new factions, evocative settings and expand on the compelling storyline that guides the action. Once players have fought for control of Alabaster, they will want to continue the adventure in future episodes.

Damn It LGW! You beat me to it - this game looks amazing and the McVey sculpts are all superb. I'll be down for $100 (+$25 international p+p) as soon as I've checked my cash flow (why buy GW when you can get a game like this?).

LOL

well its is my DEN hahaha

This looks like a great game I am waiting to hear is there is a solo aspect if there is then I might be tempted to do this game.

Cheers

Just can't help myself I just pledge $$$

LOL

LGW

I will watch this... THANKS!

well they have reached $50,526USD

all they need is $60k and we get 12 more Vanguard troops.

not sure what other stretch goals will happen but after watching Mike talking about the game it looks like it will eventually head to a skirmish type game. So the gamers can play the board game or free roaming game. [much like Dust Tactics. ]

I just love the Strain they look great. Also the Firebrand [Rebel workers] and another Faction called simply MERCS will be due out in the next expansion.

Alot of the general comments have it compared with Zombicide and considering they got the first goal only after 6 hours I think it will get to the high numbers that Zombicide did if not more.

It has ALOT of possibility....

LGW

NB: the time its taken me to write this thread we are now on $50,771 [2 miutes top]

I'm in for $125. The Biohazard goodies look to good to miss (I've always wanted to splash out on lots of Studio McVey models, but they've always seemed a tad pricey - 63 minis (if the next stretch goal is reached), plus a cool game is a bargain in my opinion.

$53,416 so far (I think this will take off)

Laney

Yeah everyone is comparing it to Zombicide. I want this game due to the awesome minis to.
Xmas is going to be a sweet time

LGW

Great looking project indeed! Will be following this one with interest!

The minis look FANTASTIC; the game board looks, erm...the minis look FANTASTIC.

Haha the board is indeed not very exciting!

Agreed - I would imagine one of the stretch goals will be extra tiles or similar (the models make up for it though).

$60K Stretch reached.

$80K Stretch - virus markers upgraded to plastic

Laney:D

not sure if there will be any extra tiles considering they eventually want to make it into a skirmish game.

McVey did work for GW and Privateer Press..

I think it would be great if/when it moves to a Skirmish game.

LGW

Damn...there's no way I can justify the expense (though I might have to try). Seems like Kickstarter is doing great things for gaming.

@ClausLars: Yeah I know what you mean but to miss out on a McVey game was to much for me and one I did not want to miss. So many guys are commenting or lamenting that they missed out on Zombicide game.

heres an update from Mike:

Quote:

Studio McVey 11 minutes ago Hey Guys - Awesome work hitting the 60K stretch! I'm so happy to be able to out the 80K goal up - this is something I really wanted to get in the game. We planned for it at first - then the realities of production costs hit... The infection counters will clip-on to the bottom of the bases, and are stackable, so you will just clip new ones underneath as the infection grows - then.... MUTATE! The nano tokens are going to be super-cool - we're tooling those from transparent green hard plastic. I *really* hope we hit this goal! mike

cheers
