I'm just wondering when they are going to come out with the scorpion
I'm glad they figured out that fleet battles in halo of all things has possibly the most boring looking units in all of gaming. ground battles, especially at this scale, are an exceptionally good idea.

meh, I'll wait for all the supplements and unit boxes instead of buying a huge package.

Honestly, 15mm seems like the neglected scale for wargames, everyone else hopped on 28mm after warhammer. But With warhammer's bloated size compared to scale, 28mm doesn't suit it anymore. It'd be much better suited to 15mm scale given the quantity of models and size of some larger ones for tabletop play.
That's what I like about this game, at least in the preliminary. They use warhammer-sized forces, but they're using a scale that's much more accommodating to the number of models being put on the board. Honestly, I want this game to be a success because it could set the precedent for solidifying 15mm outside of historical scale and into more popularized usage, as it deserves to be, there's a lot of potential in it.
So yeah, I'm surprised they are only including 3 hogs, and I'm also waiting on the laser hog that was hinted at in the beast of war interview

Awesome isn't it?

Sorry I didn't realize that they had interchangeable parts

Spoken like someone who never ventured out of GW's comfort zone. 15mm is fucking huge in historical wargaming, which, once you put the number of players together, is far more popular than fantasy or scifi gaming..just far more fragmented as it spans 8k years of history.

Friendly reminder that the company can't provide support for it's existing games, constantly delaying stat updates and new releases. Caveat emptor.

Is it really, I have met like 2 or 3 people that do.

>hurr durr
GW has had 6mm and 10mm - and other scale - games in its inventory but always returned to 28mm because MODELERS like it. Not investors, modelers. They find it the perfect scale for the conversions and detailed paint schemes necessary to adequately personalise "large" forces.
Not everyone likes vast swathes of identical tiny models where units are distinguished by the small fraction of a drop of colour covering their headgear.
>>46564627
So how is ground command supposed to overcome that?
>>46564627
Actually, they moved to 28mm from 25mm back in 80's to have an almost proprietary scale. Either way, 28mm is a great scale for skimish gaming, and shit for large battles. Fucking 15mm can have the hub-to-hub disease, where you deploy tanks in unfeasibly tight formations, 40k and WFB literally have no space on the table to offer meaningful manouvers- you just move forward, mildly adjusting facing.
