Relic Knights

Ninja Division's miniatures game, Relic Knights, had a bit of a bumpy start to its existence. But the company is looking to start anew and they've launched a Kickstarter campaign in order to make it a reality.


From the campaign:

Relic Knights: 2nd Edition is an anime-themed miniatures skirmish game featuring breathtaking models from Soda Pop Miniatures. In this dynamic miniatures game you control a heroic Knight and their enigmatic cypher. Fighting at their side are the warriors, psychics, and soldiers of the Last Galaxy. Relic Knights features a diceless, card-based game mechanic that puts you in control of your forces through managing esper to unleash devastating attacks, gallant defenses, and achieve strategic goals on the field of battle.

The goal of this Kickstarter is to fund a brand new edition of Relic Knights, featuring a fully updated rulebook, resculpts of many existing models, all new models to expand and customize your forces, the first Relic Knights expansion book—Void Break—and a brand new 2-Player Starter to make it easier than ever to join the battle for the fate of the Last Galaxy!

The campaign is already more than 2x funded with still 14 days left to go.

The weekend is pretty much upon us. We just need to finish up this afternoon and we'll be there. Do you have plans? I'm still unsure. Though I think I want to make a cheesecake, because it's been a while since I've made cheesecake. Probably make more strawberry-lime sauce to go with it. Or maybe I'll do raspberry-lime. I don't know. But there's still time to think about it. In the meantime, we gotta fill up on some bite-size gaming stories.

On the platter today we have: West Wind Productions Announces Panzer Mech Kickstarter, Ninja Division Announces Relic Knights 2nd Edition Kickstarter, Wiley Games New Home Of Fistful of Lead, New Animal Explorers From RN Estudio, Khurasan releases M1152 with canvas cover, New Releases From Hitech Miniatures, New Release from Kromlech, and Rectangular Bases on Sale From Micro Art Studio.

So, it's coming up to 8pm. Day 2 is definitely in the books for Gen Con 2016. It's been a very busy day. I'm tired, but still pretty amped about everything that's gone on. And I'm sure you all would like to know about some of it. There's been about a billion things to see. So, relatively, here's a rather small percentage. More will come tomorrow.


Dark Age and Wrath of Kings

CoolMiniOrNot has more than just all their cool board games here at Gen Con. They also are showing off new releases for their minis games, Dark Age and Wrath of Kings.

Gale Force Nine

Gale Force Nine has their big release for Star Trek Ascendency here at the show. You should check it out.

Secret Weapon Miniatures Tablescapes Dungeon Tiles in the On the Lamb Games Booth

Secret Weapon Miniatures has their tablescape dungeon tiles here at the On the Lamb booth. Come see how they look.

Ninja Division

Got in early to get photos of the display cases for Ninja Division - Soda Pop Miniatures. Was able to see the new Super Dungeon Explore stuff, as well as some Relic Knights.

Fantasy Flight day 2

Fantasy Flight Games loves to keep people coming back to their display case all weekend. They had some new stuff in there today. Take a look.

Steamforged Games

Steamforged Games is here at their first Gen Con. Their booth has constantly been packed with people. But I did get some shots of the new Guild Ball mascots, plus a little more,

Some More Shots from the CMON Booth showing off some more of the new games



Wyrd Games

I mean, a lot of things going on at Gen Con can be listed as weird. But specifically, these photos are of Wyrd Games things.

Mantic

Mantic Games' booth is compact, but also completely stuffed with their cool products. I grabbed some photos of their display cases as well as a demo of The Walking Dead (gonna try and actually sit down for a demo later).

Harry Potter Deck-Building Game

USAopoly has a whole section devoted to running demos of the Harry Potter Deck-Building Game. Space is limited and they run out fast. Thankfully, Ross let me in to get som photos.

A Couple Shots from the Gaming Hall

And just in case you think that there is no gaming going on at this gaming convention...

Dark Souls demo

I was able to muscle my way up to a demo in progress for the Dark Souls board game at the Steamforged Games booth. It looked good. The boss is controlled by a deck of cards while the heroes are controlled by the players. The heroes lost while the boss had 1hp left!

CMON announces Rising Sun

Another big announcement coming out of Gen Con from CoolMiniOrNot. The team that brought you Blood Rage is back together with Rising Sun.
It is a spiritual successor to Blood Rage, so if you know the game, it will be a bit familiar. However, it is an entirely new gaming experience.
Coming to Kickstarter in 2017.

Big Trouble in Little China Legendary

You were not put upon this Earth to "get it," Mr. Burton!
But what you can get here is Legendary: Big Trouble in Little China,
Complete with the Pork Chop Express

Frontline No Komrades

Just finished up a great demo here at the Anvil Eight Games booth. Frontline No Komrades was hilarious and quick. Definitely stop by to try it out. I got me a copy.

New Hordes boxes

We saw the New Warmachine warcasters yesterday. Today I found where the Hordes display case was and got some shots.

Heavy Hitters

You know me and my love for giant robots. Seems this one should be right up my alley. Gotta stop back by and get a demo.

Hard to think that some of those photos I just took today. I swear some of those feel like I took them weeks ago. O,o

Ah well, another day tomorrow.

Seriously, 2016 is turning into the Year of New Editions. Ninja Division/Soda Pop Miniatures are getting onto the bandwagon with a new version of their Relic Knights rules. Version 1.5 is available now for your downloading and playing pleasure. This is sort of an "open beta" test of the rules. So they're very much looking for your feedback.




So, what kind of things have been changed? Well, how about how you win the game. That's a pretty big one and sure to alter how you play. There's also a change to how defensive actions work, in order to create a more active and dynamic battle field. Another change is to how units take damage from forced movement. This will help them stay on the board longer.

I've got a story that involves giant robots, so you know I'm excited about that. It's been a while since Ninja Division/Soda Pop Miniatures has talked about Relic Knights. The game got off to a... somewhat rocky start. But even though Ninja Division hasn't been posting about the game doesn't mean they haven't been working on it, quietly, stealthily, behind the scenes. No, they're finally ready to let out some information about what they've been doing, complete with new artwork and model previews (and that's where the giant robots come in... along with some guy in seafoam green pants).




Much of the update focuses on the materials used for the figures. Relic Knights was originally a boutique set of figures made in resin that hobbyists could put together and paint as showpieces. Well, Ninja Division is going to be returning somewhat to that. At the very least, the plastic and pewter are gone, with resin once more being the medium of choice for the figures.

They've also posted up a release schedule for upcoming figures. One will be out today. Others will follow in the next couple months. Along with those releases will be a v1.5 rulebook and a new 2-player starter set, following by the Ascension expansion.

Source

Ninja Division has announced their first expansion for Relic Knights, and they're going in with both feet. The new expansion, called Relic Knights: Void Break, will have 40 new units spread across all 6 factions for the game. The set is designed to be a new jumping-on point as well, with a new rulebook that's been updated with information from a year of player feedback and various errata and clarifications that've been made. This new expansion is going to be coming out in September. Along with all the new models and rules updates, the figure material is getting an update as well. The new figures will be in resin with the large, centerpiece models being in plastic.

From the announcement:

Soda Pop Miniatures announces the new expansion for the Relic Knights® miniature skirmish game: Void Break. Void Break provides a new entry point to join the Relic Knights® game, with a complete ruleset that incorporates errata and updates from over a year of player feedback and every unit entry, both old and new.

Taking place two years after the events of Darkspace Calamity, Void Break continues the Relic Knights® story with new fiction, backgrounds, and history. Void Break introduces over 40 new units across the existing six factions, greatly expanding players’ options when building their cadres. Among the new units, each faction gains access to a new Questing Knight and Relic Knight to lead their forces and unlock new gameplay combinations.

The final models from Darkspace Calamity will begin monthly release in July of this year, with the first Void Break units beginning in September and continuing through the launch of the Void Break book in early 2016. To better capture their stunning detail and over-the-top anime aesthetic, each new and dynamic model will be featured in resin, with large, centerpiece models in plastic.

Relic Knights® is a quick and dynamic tabletop strategy battle game with a card-based system to represent esper—the energy which binds the universe. Players draw and use this esper to unleash devastating attacks and cunning counters upon their foes. Choose from six powerful factions, each playing a vital role in the fate of the universe. Their actions will lead to its salvation or herald the destruction of all things.

MidKnight Heroes Kickstarter Release Date And first stretch goal reveal

Well here it is, our release date! It’s been a long time in the making…started this back in July of 2014 and we started getting this together for this date! Mark your calendars for March 16th that is the day we go live. We are starting off with our season 0 line.

What is this Season thing?

Well we here at MidKnight Heroes came up with this cool idea to have a series of miniatures that are broken up by seasons. Every year will be a season in MidKnight Heroes and with that there will be a series of miniatures for that year or season as we like to call it. Each season will have miniatures released for each game or miniature line we have out. Our plan is to have more than one game and or miniature line so each one will have its own season every year. This season will start every January for us and our goal is to at least put out six miniatures per line, and as we grow in size that number will increase. With that said we decided to start out with Season 0 since it’s a special season. It’s the season that gets us off the ground. Next year if we are funded we will start our official season with season one

Fabled Environments Launches Wild West Floorplans Kickstarter

Ever wanted to run a old west campaign? Do you love the grit of the wild west and the pioneering spirit of those folks that left everything behind and went west to seek their fortune?

Maybe your campaign is a straightforward historic adventure with outlaws, Native Americans and simple townsfolk all struggling for survival. Maybe you've opted for a world where the creatures of nightmares exist and magic isn't just a thing of legend. Perhaps you've moved away from both of these settings into the present and the lure of a haunted old west ghost town.

Just like a good play or movie, a story needs a great set to make it come alive. That is where we come in. This Kickstarter will give you what you need to help make your vision come alive on the tabletop. The Kickstarter is for floor plans of several iconic old west structures: Settler's Cabin, Hotel/Saloon, General Store, Church W/Cemetery, Sheriff's Office and a Livery Stable.

Manorhouse Workshop Modular Underground Terrain Update #16

Hello to everyone
While we wait the 3D Files for the steel molds of the basic set of sewers and underground. Let’s start with the new design of the second set: underground and rooms of the castle. The second set (drawings made by Michele Bottalico) will be dedicated to the Gothic period and to the first windows with arches “Sesto Acuto” and “Everything Sesto”, both mono that mullioned windows. Creating so further dynamism and possibilities to make unique your dungeon of dream.

We show the first W.I.P. walls of stone base and the new “walls dynamics”.
As noted above, are still in the works, but you begin to see the end result.
The central part of the wall is always removable and replaceable with other dynamics walls.
The new dynamics stone walls can also be used with the older version of arc walls brick, making more varied design of the corridors…

…like the arc wall “Sesto Acuto”, may use some of the mobile walls in brick.
In the next post, we will present the interior balconies and stairs to access it.

Stay connected. Lorenzo

Final days for Going Native: New World Monsters on Kickstarter

Well we have reached the final stretch of this campaign. We have moved well beyond the original goal of $4,000 to be within spitting distance of $10,000. We have unlocked several Monsters from all over the Americas and the Pacific Islands. This is fantastic, and more than I have imagined.

Now with the end of the campaign is in sight, I feel that I have to address the metal verses resin issue. The issue is that I stated at the beginning of the campaign that the models would be either white metal, resin or metal/resin hybrids. This is a production decision that is made when the model is in hand and I have had a good talk to the casters and make the best choice that maintains the quality that is expected of me and my company. This decision will be made on a kit by kit basis. The only solid plans I have is that I have is that every 28mm (Man-size) Model or Smaller will be cast in white metal, and the Monstrous Clam, Pua Tu Tahi, is the only model planned for resin at this time. I am sorry that his is not more exact but this is the best answer I can give you.

Since we are so close to the end it is time to release the last minute offers that should get the word out there. First off I am going to offer as an unlockable model will be the American Lake Monster. The Lake Monster is meant to represent the different cryptids that live in the lakes in North and South America, like Champ from Lake Champlain, USA, Ogopogo from Okanagan Lake, Canada, and Nahualito from Nahuel Huapi Lake, Argentina just to name a few. This will be a large sized model. This monster will work great for historical games as well, we can see the mighty Scottish Hero William Wallace riding the Loch Ness Monster in to battle against the English. (snicker) We will unlock the Lake Monster once we reach 100 backers. The American Lake Monster estimated retail price is $20 a model.

Other things of note, by popular request, I will be adding a Fleeing Child kit to the Kickstarter campaign. Each kit will include two fleeing children from the Basket Woman kit and it will sell for $6 a kit. I am not planning to continue this offer the campaign, so if you some kids that you do not have to mind better pick up your set of Fleeing Children. Also by popular request, I have decided to include a human form for the fallowing Skinwalker models – Ewah, El Lobizon, Child of Kamoho/ Were-Shark, and Encantado. So if these models are unlocked they will include a Human form along with their Were form. As of the time of this update I cannot afford to make the Nagual’s were-jaguar form, the Brujo. Sorry.

Ninja Division has announced the release of the Relic Knights digital enhancement app. It helps you play the game, with a full rulebook, as well as an army creator and dashboard functions. For outside of the game, the app has bunches of background fluff about the world, as well as a model gallery.

From the release:

Minion squads are not to be underestimated. When working in concert these determined warriors of the Last Galaxy can bring down even the most potent warrior. Bolster your ranks with these doughty soldiers, students, and raving berzerkers.

Soda Pop Miniatures knows that Relic Knights models have been around for quite some time and many of you picked up some sets before the game based around them was a thing. So, for those of you that have those models, but not the stat cards to go along with them, they've released their Special Edition Card Pack so you can get the stats you need to put those models on the battlefield along with all the other Relic Knights minis now available.

From the website:

Are you a long-time Fizzhead who got your special edition models before Relic Knights had a game? Then the special edition card pack is for you!

This pack includes tracker and reference cards to field your special edition models in your games of Relic Knights: Darkspace Calamity.

Contents:
-Suicide Queen — Unique
-Ayu Beat — Unique
-Candy Heart — Unique
-Kisa — Questing Knight
-Scratch — Cypher

Please Note: You do NOT need to buy these cards if you are purchasing the current special edition models, cards are included.

Ninja Division has the latest sets for Relic Knights now available over in their webshop. Cerci Speed Circuit gets a pair of releases in the form of the Wrecker and the Pit Crew (sort of two ends of the spectrum there). The Noh Empire gets the new Render (it's a real model, not just a render), because oni with sci-fi guns is fun. Black Diamond gets a new mini-tank. I remember seeing one of these when the Kickstarter campaign stuff was coming through. It's cute. Finally, the Star Nebula Corsairs gets... well... their Corsairs box. Seems an appropriate thing to get.

Endless Hunger tournaments are ideal for groups of 8 to 128 players and promotes exciting action while dealing with varied and challenging tactical problems. The Endless Hunger format emphasizes winning games and competition while still valuing sportsmanship.

Establish Order tournaments are designed for groups of 8 to 64 players, over a one to two day event with 3 to 6 rounds. The Establish Order format celebrates all aspects of the Relic Knights hobby, including generalship, painting, and sportsmanship.
