Warzone Eternal Kickstarter Update

 Hi!

Well the exciting news is that Warzone Eternal has successfully funded after less than 24 hours so Warzone is back! 

Better yet, we're starting to see painted examples of the miniatures we shall be getting our hands on once the game is released as well as some more artwork, including the rather angry Razide above.

Imperial Blood Beret

Imperial Golden Lion

I'm really loving the look of the painted figures that have started appearing as they really channel that classic Warzone vibe I remember but modernise the figures so there's none of the retro chonky figure syndrome of the 90's and the decision to make modular figures that use similar components for the Megacorporate forces really seems to be paying off as the different shoulder pads of the two different Imperial troops give them a different enough look to make them unique once combined with the different colour schemes!

Mishima Shinobi

Mishima Hatamoto

Similarly, I do love the combination of classic miniatures we recognise from Warzone with the new stuff, especially the Mishima Shinobi who I cannot remember from the old game but fit in perfectly with the Hatamoto and with the ever increasing funding, Res Nova have said they'll provide more components to allow you to field a full squad of troops with matching helms as well as a great selection of bare heads, both male and female!

Capitol Free Marine

It's also been great to see weapon load outs that have previously never been seen in miniature format, such as the Capitol Free Marine above who is armed with a missile launcher whilst sporting a mohawk and a no nonsense attitude!

Bauhaus Venusian Ranger

We've only seen the Bauhaus Venusian Ranger officially so far and are still waiting to see what the Blitzers are looking like but its fantastic to see the iconic skull mask and white armour again. There was some humming and hahing about the lack of a fur cloak on the figure as the originals did but it wouldn't be too difficult to sculpt either a fur cloak or camo cloak onto the figure depending on where they are deployed on Venus.

Dark Legion Algeroth Centurion

Dark Legion Algeroth Razide (nicely painted as a Dark Eden Nasca Razide!)

Finally the Dark Legion. I love the Razide and every version we've seen of him painted as he is just perfect with his bulky biotechnological hulk and massive gun! The Centurion, I must admit I wasn't too struck on but I figure a smidge of conversion and he'll do the job as an evil, twisted caricature of a human soldier, twisted in the distortion chambers of Algeroth to do his bidding!

All in all, we're starting to see Warzone Eternal develop into a really exciting project and I can't wait to see what Res Nova has up their sleeves for us as we get further into the Kickstarter campaign.

Hopefully we will continue to see more painted examples of the actual figures as well as images of the components of each box so we can get a better idea of what to expect.

I'll be updating the blog again in a few days as I plan on posting a bit about Bryan CP Steel's (he who wrote the rules and is busily wrangling the facebook page!) videos as well a peek at the battle report that Bryan and Alex played recently which I believe is going to be posted up soon once they've got it all edited together.

I highly recommend folks nip over to the KICKSTARTER PAGE and take a peek and if you can spare a few quid, back it at least at the Observer pledge level so we can get more folks involved in Warzone Eternal and give it the place it deserves as the setting that refuses to die but continues, shiny, chrome and eternal!

In the meantime, All the best!
