Hello everyone,

Today we are proud to announce that Fallen Frontiers is coming to Kickstarter on Friday 14th of November!

[url=https://www.facebook.com/Fallenfrontiers?ref=ts&fref=ts]Fallen Frontiers[/url] is a 35mm sci-fi wargame set in a futuristic society where humans have colonized much of the galaxy and have found powerful energy resources and intelligent life forms with advanced technology. The players assume control of a faction that can be customized by choosing troops, characters, and cards that best adapt to their game style.

In the coming days we are going to reveal more information about the game and the kickstarter campaign on our Facebook Page. Make sure to share this date with all of your friends and back us on day 1 so that we can get funded quickly and start working towards unlocking a ton of stretch goals, getting you more sci-fi awesomeness!

Hello,

we have been posting some updates on our Facebook page covering all the Fallen Frontiers factions, and now wanted to share them to you here:

ARES - This civilization of aliens designed to look like super-humans is divided into two factions: The "Operators" who serve unidentified masters and The "Ares Condominium" who have been released from the control the masters held over them. The Ares Condominium are creatures with a strong sense of individuality probably generated by their former life as slaves. They have fought hard for their independence, survived a civil war to get where they are, and nothing in the universe will take their freedom.

Ares are larger than normal humans, and they look as if they were genetically engineered for war. Their bodies have more muscle mass, making them stronger, faster, and more rigid in combat. Their minds are like tactical computers analyzing the battlefield and making split second decisions with deadly precision. They are truly something to be feared on the battlefield. But why are they made to look like humans and who has created them? That is a far more scary story.



RIFF - The Riff are an ancient race, much older than humans. They expanded in a nearby galaxy and quickly learned the horrors of excessive ambition. They saw their own civilization rise, evolve and fall.

Some of them left and traveled the universe to peacefully settle down in our own galaxy, however only death and betrayal was awaiting most of them... Now a new set of Riffs has arrived, but their goal is very different, vengeance.



SAYX - “The Sayx are considered human because we have no better word to define them. They played so much with genetics and military programming, that in my opinion we should find another way to address them." - Dr. Cornelius Van Jander, Chief Engineer of Applied Genetics

In the new order of the galaxy, you are most probably a human who lives on the hive ships of Sayx Enterprises, where there is limited space and there are no families, with reproduction following the interests of the company. After applying Ares genetics for the betterment of the race people are selected by their potential skills from birth, and if you are lucky you may serve in the Sayx army where death is a reward all its own.



HARVESTERS - The Harvesters are still a mystery. They attacked Earth without warning and destroyed all communication with Earth colonies. We do not understand their behavior, it appeared to us they were collecting living things and assimilating them into their ranks. However we were wrong. When they attacked the Earth their goal was not to harvest humans but to simply destroy key targets. It is clear that there is a plan behind their actions, but we are far from knowing who or what it is.

Hello,

we have been posting some updates on our Facebook page covering some of the Fallen Frontiers heroes, and now wanted to share them with you here:

BITSIE - Bitsie "Operator 31", is one of the most charismatic and powerful leaders of the ARES Independence. She is a veteran of the civil war that won the independence of ARES, and she continues to lead them to victory over the many hostile threats that plague them today.



FINK - Fink Draad is one of the few survivors of the slaughter on Hellion Prime committed by the Sayx Corporation. He escaped the battle with serious injuries and put himself in hibernation on a ship to reach his home galaxy and spread the news of what happened. During the re-conquest of the Hellion system he showed that his tactical skills were matched only by his thirst for revenge. Now he is in charge of ground operations of all Riff contingents in our sector. Revenge continues and Fink is its instrument.



TARKO -Although Tarko is a citizen of Earth he has only spent a few days on the planet. Like most of the crew of the Octopuss, Tarko was born in space and was trained from childhood to serve the Sayx army. Sayx has been in the spotlight of the Earth Council on several occasions, and only through its membership with INCRECOM has managed to avoid scandal, for its legally questionable actions. For Tarko, the Sayx policies might not be the greatest, but its army definitely is, at least as long as he is part of it.



SIHLAS -Sgt. Sihlas Fenn is a well respected and renowned noncommissioned officer in the Riff military. Upon the arrival of the survivors from Chook Mul, Sihlas was tasked with the duty of discovering the events that took place and how the survivors escaped the genocide, more specifically one survivor, Fink Draad. Sgt. Sihlas Fenn tested Fink's combat abilities and found him to be worthy and requested Fink be assigned to his Riff Berserker unit for the retaking of Chook Mul. During the campaign for Chook Mul, Sihlas's unit gained the reputation of being the most influential and brutal unit of the entire army, his name inspired both fear and respect. After the retaking of the planet Sihlas requested Fink join the expedition fleet to Hextrom IV. Together they were needed there more than anywhere.

What scale are these in?
Last time you said 40mm then quickly changed your mind to heroic 35mm, much bigger than other systems anyway, so basically incompatible with any existing sci fi terrain we might already own for Infinity or 40k.

You've shown your models next to a GW Terminator (which is 37mm tall) and the eye line of your model was about on line with that 37mm, so they're at least 35mm scale, yes?

[ScaleGames]

The scale of our miniatures is 35mm to the eyes and are therefore compatible with other miniatures and scenery on the market. This means that a 1,80m tall human in a standing pose is 38mm tall from head to sole, which is also known as 1:48 scale (American O scale).

Hello everyone,

- KS Exclusive Silver Card Backs
- KS Exclusive Painting DVD
- Hank “Operator 323″
- Fink Draad “Alternative Pose”

35mm scale is NOT compatible with 35mm.

Once again you're being misleading with this. You're showing a GW model thats taller than most, a Space Marine compared ro your unaugmented humans, and they're still a head taller. You'd never show an Imperial Guardsman next to one of your Ares, that would really highlight the difference.

The Dreamforge model is about on par with a GW human model, more realistic proportions but height wise about the same, your basic human troopers are 7mm taller, that doesnt sound like a lot but in scale terms we're talking over 33cms in height, more than a foot in imperial measurements, if even your basic troops are 7 foot tall, your Ares would be even bigger.

This will not make them compatible with terrain at all, they'll look ridiculous on Infinity Terrain, which is a lot closer to true 28mm scale than GW.

I own Emmanuelles Barbarian Dude (2 copies actually, of the Redux print, not the original sadly), and I use him in a unit of Chaos Maruders and he's so much taller than them that he really stands out.
