So could someone with Apocalypse Now (so eligible for one goody) choose both the male askari and the wall section? (in addition to the limited edition askari special freebie for the campaign backers)

Normally, 'one' goodie refers to all the unlocked elements of a specific stage, so yes you get the male Askari warrior AND the wall as one goodie, at least that's what I've been told (ets hope Taban doesn't die of exhaustion from all the resin castings he has to make )

Thank you! Two people on another forum were asking about this, so I delivered the good news. (Personally I'm going to take Aftermath's Special level once I'm sure of the minis I'll be taking).

10000!

I must say that I love love love the scorpion/panther-cyborg NPF. Felines are really hard to do well in minis I've noticed but this one delivers. €15000 can't come fast enough

The campaign has posted a pic of the Askari warrior:


Hmmm... I think that the pic doesn't bring quite the best in these out. They look a bit busy and strangely proportioned, though that is probably just due to the trousers being so high yet having so low a crotch.

I like the limited ed's knife but his glaive looks to have a super thin shaft so I might end up using the scorpion arm and the knife. As for the heads, not sure which one to use - I really need to see the limited ed's head in hand to properly form an opinion on it.

Hey,

is there any more information about the Askaris?
Because i like the oriental style they bear and i sure would start this faction
When are they going to be released and do i have to take one of the existing starters if i pledge 100$ or can i wait for the askari starter?

Are you planning to release a card deck with all the scenarios and tactical cards? I think a lot of players would buy that.

Thanks

Hi! I'll take a shot at answering your questions based on what I've read on the French forums but do note that my French is horrid, so I might've gotten things wrong so none of this is nowhere near official.

The book is going to have fluff on the Askari faction as well. Their starter will come out in December but for the campaign rewards you can only choose stuff that are from October at the latest, so unfortunately not the Askari starter. You do get the 15% voucher for their webstore from the campaign, though.

I agree that that would be very nice!

Hi !

Want some top-secret infos on the Askaris, well here you go
As they are very strong and very advanced in such fields as biological and mechanical weapons, they will fight in very little teams (like the ISC), but will be more flexible.
The Askari starter is not meant to be available for the Indiegogo, mainly because we don't want to strip our retailers from the other major release of the Christmas season
as for the card deck, we will discuss this for next year, in the meantime the 2012 erratas should be available in December.

Hey,

sounds nice and it seems they are my kind of stuff

I understand the economic reasons for your actions But i can save the voucher until the Askaris are released? If that is so, you can have my money next month

I'm really pumped for the book because i like Edens setting and really hope this game get's the attention it deserves with that book.

And Lemmi: My french is so bad, i don't even try to look for information at the french forums and i had french for 5 years in school.

Aye, that will work.

It's such a lovely game. Easy to start with the low minis count (but, well, at least in my case that doesn't stop me from buying a huge load of them) with simple but deep rules. A really nice bit of design all round.

My French comes mostly from trying to decipher Confrontation and Hell Dorado cards...

Edit:

There's also pics of the female Askari warrior:



Really liking this one! Especially the limited edition version - I like the head better and the armoured arms complement the head very nicely. A lovely fig!
