At least WoK only has a few questionable models (the Pelegarth Bloodmasks and Big Sisters being the most obvious.)

Looks like on Dakka there's a dude who would like this better if the demons were titty girls too. One guess as to his identity!berzerkmonkey posted:At least WoK only has a few questionable models (the Pelegarth Bloodmasks and Big Sisters being the most obvious.)

Bloodmasks make me sad as I really like the way they play and I'd do Nasier as a second army, but that's a lot of conversion work to add armor.

The cost was the first ting that turned me off about the KS, but a close second was nekkid wimmins and boob-wolves. I did wind up getting a box of Hadross a box of Teknes through Ebay for like $25 each though, so I'm good. At least CMON didn't make jellyfish and pig-men with boobs. I like Nasir as well, and I'm disappointed that I probably won't ever buy any because of the female models. I mean, cheesecake models don't bother me as much as it does the average Kickstarter thread Goon, but the game designers could have toned it down a wee bit. berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Feb 5, 2016 |

I don't think they ever did. Trademark search suggests it was owned by Hasbro from 89-96 but has been dead since, and was picked up by this guy last year.

Pretty much all the Space Crusade stuff looks like trash, but the Warzone figures are so insanely inconsistent in their sculpts, even in the same armies. At least none of them (except for a few Dark Legion models) have their tits out, but several are wearing thighhighs and combat loincloths, which for a game about corporate warfare in the future set against a backdrop of NotChaos evil is just mindboggling. The Demigods line is all poo poo though.

Eh, Warzone, even more so than 40k, was influenced and based on stuff like 2000AD, Ronin and other 80's/90's comics. The sort of scuzzy punk rock hooker meets oppressive gaskmasked corporate overlords vibe was very central to that whole style. I'm not a big fan of the titsmarines, but I do like the bikers, if they're reasonably priced I might pick some of them up for my FFoKF 80's themed street gang.

FWIW Gamezone are the guys who claimed to have gotten hold of the Heroquest license and are apparently publishing an anniversary edition - http://www.heroquestclassic.com/en/. I guess they're going after all the old MB/GW collaborations and banking on the nostalgic names. The nekkid SOBs are still terrible though.

Yeah I'm a bit disappointed in Prodos over this. I love their Warzone and AvP stuff, never bothered to look at anything else they made. Oh well, still only ever buying Warzone and AvP stuff from them. Someday. After I finish the other ninety zillion games/armies I'm working on.  (The female not-Great-Unclean-One is kinda cool, though)

You guys just don't get it; the torso is a bio-shield generator and the boobs are the forward emitters. Everyone knows if you cover that area with armour it will interfere with the field and cause the soldier to be less protected  .

But aren't thpse bikers ESCHER GIRLS or something? Might be mixing up the name. I dunno if Warzone is more 40k than 40k. Its actually steampunk cyberpunk in space with demons hijacking advanced tech being front and center in the setting. Some cool minis that I'll never buy, since nobody plays it here and I still have about 11/2 bag of 80 dood old warzone skulpts not converted into heretics

Well WarZone started AS 40k. Mutant Chronicles was originally a 40K role playing game but then GW decided they didn't like it and axed it, so Heartbreaker changed some stuff and published it themselves. A lot of the cool poo poo they came up (and supposedly that GW complained about) ended up mysteriously in 3rd edition 40k somehow and no one knows why.

Most of it was I believe rolled into the 3rd Ed Inquisition books. Since prior to 3rd the Inquisition was pretty undefined and vague in 40k. It was basically the info you got in the army book that came with 2nd Ed and that was it, most Inquisitors were just Terminators in hoods and then Grey Knights were also a vague thing as well. Most of the RT era Inquisition stuff was focused around the Inquisitors hunting down the mortal descendants of the Emperor with a side order of the GK's being special Terminators that were made to kill Daemons. It's pretty clear if you read the early Mutant Chronicles stuff about The Brotherhood, which is what the Inquisition became when they did the rewrites, that they were going in a much more "3rd Ed" (for lack of a better term) direction with the Inquisition while GW was still more in a "2nd ed is fun and wacky" sort of place. From what I've heard they looked at 40k and decided to go whole hog on writing stuff into parts of the setting that were fairly undefined or low in scale because the actual breadth of concepts for a game about Space Marines is kinda shallow, and so that's why so much of it is about things like sinister cults, lone commandos and groups of religiously motivated assassins. A lot of it was, I guess originally, supposed to explore the religious foundations of the cult of the Emperor, which is where a lot of the stuff that later became about Durand came from. Basically, Mutant Chronicles is the game you get when a bunch of guys read through the setting bible for 40k and realize that all the cool stuff is the weird little things in the deep cracks and recesses and not the Orks vs Marines splattered on the cover. I think MC is actually a much better setting than 40k, even though huge swaths of their backstory is almost identical. MC is much more "cyberpunk" in the sense that it has this sort of overall sense of dread and desperation. I think also the not-Chaos guys in MC are actually a more interesting enemy than Chaos itself is because they are presented as more insidious and subversive while 40k Chaos is very black and white (outside of stuff like the "good" 40k books). Basically there is a reason people still love things like the Lost and the Damned, Genestealer Cults and Sensei Knights, and a lot of what fueled the design of Mutant Chronicles and WarZone as a universe was people who also were into that specific angle of 40k. The miniatures for WarZone were never in-line with the style of the art and the tone of the stories in the books, but I think it's very telling that the game originally died around when 3rd Edition 40k saw a general shift towards a more gritty and dark and less irreverent and ultra-violencey version of 40k which was always (in my mind at least) where the big difference between the two games lay. It's cool that the game and RPG are back and being worked on again but I feel that the ship has long ago sailed for the setting as a whole. Most of what was good about the game heavily influenced Warmachine which I think at this point is basically where the actual bloodline of the original game has continued.
