I am comment to win, and you can, too!
X-Com looks SO GOOD. Used to play the very original on an old PC, ridiculous fun!
A weekender.
I have the X Com games but haven’t played them yet. Never enough time. Intrigued by the miniatures game
The new plastics for Warriors of Athena look great. I agree with you Ben that their design choices and aesthetics look like they will fit perfectly into the setting.
Love the male/female sets from North Star and a new game from wga to give me an excuse to get more of their stuff!
The X-com models look good. Will be interesting to see a playthrough of the game.
The castle looks great but I always wonder how many times I would use it.
I’m curious to see more about Co-Op MCP Alliance. I hope it has or gets campaign play. I am disappointed to see it expects you to buy the models again, even if they are different sculpts. A version for those who already own the models from the original game that lacks plastic and costs less would have been nice to see.
It looks like the ‘y’ at the end of the kickstarter link is missing, as it’s a 404 on kickstarter as it is.
Yay weekender time folk’s 👍😆👍
Ooh the Xcom looks good I wonder if they will add resident Alien’s (Harry Vamderspeigle) to fight the gray’s in the game
Fab show guy’s 👍
I’m really excited for the colonial sunshine out of wA plus the warriors of athena plastic kit!
Nice one
It’s kinda wild that it took this long for an XCOM miniatures game. Next…Front Mission!
