Dystopian Legions, In The Box

Spartan Games just released more information on their Dystopian Legions range of figures. Below are the figures you will get for each of the 4 different starter armies. As you can see, some of the figures are quite stunning and actually Spartan has made it a little difficult as to which to pick.  Every Army seems to have some really cool figures.

My personal favorites are the Prussian Empire and the Federated States, but both the Kingdom Of Britannia and the Blazing Sun have fantastic looking figures as well.

The starters range from £40.00 - £42.00 or you can save a little money by buying 2 for £70.00 or 4 for £135.00.  They also have started selling other figures and vehicles that are not included in the starter army set.

I would like to see some basic trooper box sets come out that were a little less expensive.  The only problem people are going to have with this range is scale.  The figures are much bigger than most other weird war stuff out there right now, so the figures are going to be a little large.

Each Starter set includes.

• 12-14 highly-detailed minatures. Each miniature is pewter with the exception of the Prussian Empire Teutonic Knights, which is a combination of resin and pewter, and the Kingdom of Britannia Sky Hussars, which are pewter miniatures with resin smoke plumes.
• Model Bases: 6 x 40mm bases and 8 x 30mm bases. 40mm bases are used for Officers, Characters and elite models. 30mm bases are used for standard infantry.
• Token Sheet: A5 Token Sheet for you to cut out and use to represent actions executed in a game of Dystopian Legions.
• Dice: 8 x black D6, 8 x blue D6 and 8 x red D6. Ruler: An 8 inch acrylic ruler to match the range band system.
• Stat Sheet: Detailing statistics for all weaponry and MARs relevant to the miniatures included in your Starter Set.
• Activation Cards: 5 x Activation Cards to be used to determine order of march. Game Cards: 13 x generic Game Cards, 13 x nation-specific Game Cards, 2 x additional Character Game Cards.  
• Quickplay Rulebook: 80-pages covering all areas of the game mechanics you will need to play a full game of Dystopian Legions, along with descriptive examples and colour diagrams to aid your understanding.

Rivit Wars

Rivit Wars looks like it is going to be an absolute blast that probably would attract more than just your geeky gamer types.  The miniatures are very approachable, so I am sure ladies and gamers with kids could have a lot of fun playing as well.   They sort of look like Legos.

The game is currently up on KickStarter.

Trench2114 Heer Infantry

John from Trench2114 sent some review samples of the new Trench2114 Heer Infantry.  I have to say, I think these are his best work yet.  Loads of detail and cool trench coats.  What's not to like.  Unlike the previous release of the Panzer troopers, you get 5 different variations of the Heer light infantry vs 3 of the Panzer troopers. The figures I received only had a little bit of flash on the bottom of the bases.  Basically no prep.  They have a small emblem on their helmet, but I think I need a different camera to zoom in on the detail.  These should be fun to paint up.

A blister pack blister contains (10) Heer light infantry, consisting of 8 basic infantry (3 different poses), an Officer and a soldier with heavy weapon for $5.50.

John has a bunch of free rules to use with these figures.  He also has a little background history.

Clone Tanks

Looking for a cool objective, how about some clone tanks by West Wind Productions.  I thought Bob Olley also made one of these, but it doesn't appear like he is selling any.

Dystopian Legion, Size Comparisons

Here are some comparison painted up and taken by Agis Neugebauer of the Dystopian Legion figures with a bunch of GW and Artizan figures.  As you can see they are quite big.  Too bad really.  Not sure why they went with a much larger scale than most figure companies out there.  If they had been true 28s or even epic 28s like GW they would have much more potential for other gaming. 

IMO this was a really bad move on Spartan Games part.  Would love to know the reasoning behind going with basically a whole new scale.  Game companies for whatever reason never seem to listen to gamers when it comes to scale.  They totally missed the boat on the cross-over potential and increase in sales from other gamers wanting cool figures that don't pertain to Spartan Games rulesets.  The concepts are absolutely outstanding with this range, but the figures are so tall that they will look out of place with just about any other manufacturers figures.

I had thought the Federal Infantry had so much potential for a weird wild west game, since I have so many western figures.  The scale really makes me think twice now.  Same could be said for a Martian Wars.

Definitely check out Agis Site by the way.  He also has a few more pictures for comparison.  Simply amazing stuff.

Spartan Games, Dystopian Legions

Not sure how I missed this one, but was at the local gaming store and saw a whole bunch of Spartan Games Dystopian Legion figures. These look like 32mm figures. Not sure how the game mechanics are, but the figures sure as heck look like fantastic figures all around. They have many uses beyond Spartan Games and would be perfect for victorian sci-fi, wild west or martian chronicles.

There are also vehicles and plenty of special characters.

warheads medieval tales, ipad

For those of you out there that have ipads, you should go check out a game called Warheads Medieval Tales.  Really fun game.  You control a maximum of 4 characters battling all sorts of bad guys.  The game comes free, but if you want to get certain special items, you are required to pay extra. 

The game works as a character builder, so as you progress in the game, your characters get stronger and your able to select skills to make them perform better.  There is also a miniature game by the same name and you can find all about it by visiting the Warheads Medieval Tales website.
