[Vanguard miniatures] Nouveautés

Je viens de regarder: il y a un socle par compagnie ? Avec par exemple 30 fantassins sur le socle ?
Ou 3 tanks sur un socle ?
Visuellement ca peut être sympa et accélérer mouvements et déploiement, mais c'est quand même bizarre ? Une compagnie de 3 tanks a 3 PVs. On compte les PVs au lieu de retirer les tanks un par un...

L'échelle est plus grande en fait : pour caricaturer un socle Dominion = une formation Epic Armageddon.

Donc une formation Dominion, qui rassemble plusieurs socles, est grosso-modo l'équivalent d'une petite armée Epic Armageddon.

C'est exactement cela. Tu remarqueras que ce n'est pas plus bizarre que d'avoir un socle d'infanterie Epic avec 5 figurines par rapport aux 5 figurines isolées à l'échelle W40k.

J'ai publié une note plus détaillée sur la Tribune Ludique.

Honnêtement, sur le papier, je trouve le système très bien, surtout si on le compare à la concurrence (hors Epic bien entendu ). Cela faisait longtemps que je n'étais pas tombé sur des règles qui me donnaient envie d'essayer. C'est à mon avis du bon boulot et j'attends avec impatience les règles complètes.

MAIS mon problème est clairement que c'est un concurrent d'Epic et non un jeu qui pourrait le compléter grâce à son échelle différente. Or je n'ai pas l'espace ludique pour deux jeux de ce type et Epic Armageddon restera bien entendu ma référence.

Cependant les figurines me font clairement de l'oeil et je commence à cerner la façon dont je vais pouvoir les utiliser pour que cela convienne à mes attentes...

Je suis assez d'accord avec ton analyse. La très petite échelle bénéficierait (nécessite ?) d'un grand niveau d’abstraction. Avec des socles représentant des formations combinées, on se rapproche beaucoup du wargame carton et dès lors, parler de touche, de svg, etc... peut sembler étrange. On perd un peu l’intérêt de cette échelle je trouve.

Ca pourrait prendre la forme d'un Fleet/Ground Commander je pense.

Need some flight bases?

Plastic Flight Bases (10) - £3.50


(it's the middle one)

Citation :

They look great but more suited to BFG. There are several sizes of stems?

Citation :

Height 33mm (not including base height or peg at the top), dia 5mm (nice and strong)

Update from the terrain campaign:

Hello Backers!

The factory have sent me some pictures of initial production testing - we should have samples in hand by Wednesday or Thursday to check over, but they look good from what we can see this end...

There is some discolouration in the plastic mix used for this test shot, but the factory say that it shouldn't happen on the production run, and won't affect surface texture even if it does.

Note, nobody is going to be receiving live ducklings in the post.

Thanks for the support everyone; we'll be closing the Crowdfunding page to new contributions once we have the production run in. If you want to take advantage of the discounted big pledges, now's the time. Or, like, tomorrow. Now-ish, anyway.

Thanks everyone!

Another teaser...

So yeah, after a little delay Vanguard Miniatures first official crowdfunder has gone live!

Citation :

Who Are Vanguard Miniatures?

Vanguard Miniatures is an established wargames company with its own range of metal and resin miniatures, as well as plastic bases.

In order to ensure this campaign runs smoothly, Vanguard are teaming up with collaborators Troublemaker Games to help run this campaign, as having run five successful Indiegogo Crowdfunders they're pretty good at knowing how this button-pushing bippety-boopety computers lark is supposed to work.

What We Need & What You Get

Our 6mm scale models in this funding campaign are intended to reinforce our Defeat In Detail range of models, by adding more models to the existing ranges.

As we cross stretch goals, we'll be unlocking more models, some of which can be seen in silhouette below...

We have many designs already sculpted, and without a crowdfunding campaign it would be another year or even two before we could afford to put them all into production, so your interest and support at this stage means we can put out more metal models at a much faster rate than would otherwise be possible.



The Models

All of the models in this campaign are to be METAL models, unless otherwise stated.

Most of the models have already been Matter Printed and are awaiting a trip to the casting foundry, whilst other models only exist as-yet in CAD form - your support now will ensure they become real tiny toy fighty models!

Can't direct link to the pictures of the campaign itself since IndieGoGo doesn't let me...

Il y a des choses très intéressantes pour compléter certaines armées :





Cela part un peu dans tous les sens mais cela va considérablement enrichir la gamme déjà disponible et offrir plein de possibilités à de nombreux joueurs qui débutent.

Par contre je suis à sec de mon côté, je ne vais pas pouvoir aider.

J ai calculé ce matin...genre 80 £ de figs...ouais pour commencer ca va faire mal mais ca va faire du bien !

Y'a des choses assez tentantes dans le lot, faut bien avouer.
Je vais peut-être me laisser avoir par les reco, tiens.

Dommage, tout ce qui m'intéresse est dans les Stretch Goals (les Stormtroopers/Karskins)

Purée...moi qui m'abstient de craquer pour une armée Soeur de Bataille (c'est de plus en plus dur chaque jour...) et là, paf ! Les machines de pénitence.

Ils sont dur avec nous quand même.

bon...à ce niveau de soutien, c'est du caritatif non ? ça devrait être déductible des impôts moi je dis

Willyboy (Buisness angel des mouleurs de figs)

C'est très sexy!
Krakage incoming ^^

New multi pack deals added
Hi backers many thanks for your fantastic show of support so far, this first update is to direct your attention to the new multi pack deals added to the campaign this evening. These have been added due to requests from various sources and we hope to add more such deals as the campaign progresses.

Another update from the previous campaign: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/small-scale-armies-plastic-terrain-kits#/updates/18

Resin Dome test cast & Brandon the Architect!
Hi Backers!

First off: We now have about a third of the plastics sprues delivered to us, and are expecting the remainder within the week, at which point the Crowdfunder will be closed to new bids, ye have been advised, last orders gentlepeople!

We've also had a test cast of the resin dome delivered to us:


It is dome shaped!

It fits nicely onto the plastic wall pieces as expected, and looks vaguely dome shaped, so we've thus ordered the full production run; we've been advised we'll have those in during December.

Ben has also finalized the design of Brandon the Architect, the free 6mm scale Cybershadows Supreme Commander figure for every Backer that was the final Stretch Goal target. He'll be rushed into production ASAP, and should also be ready for December.



Despite being humanoid in shape, Brandon the Architect stands a full 9mm tall - just as he constructs many buildings for his clients, so too has he apparently constructed a new hulking body for himself. Whether anything biological at all remains under his robes, none can say.

Thanks for your patience everyone, we're getting closer and closer to delivery every time the planet spins about a bit.

Thanks,

- The Team @ Troublemaker Games
