Age of Tyrants Pre-Kickstarter

[sebigboss79]

Roland (me) from rolandsminireviews brings you the Age of Tyrants Pre-Kickstarter (p)review.

Age of Tyrants is a coming 6mm SciFi Mass Battle Tabletop from Myriad Miniatures. Their Overlord John Robertson has sent me two pre-production minis which are teasing you below. Full review and armybuilding on my blog: https://rolandsminireviews.wordpress.com/2015/10/17/age-of-tyrants-junkers-and-viridians-part-i/

They do have some nice stuff, and being 6mm sci-fi, it is even more pleasing to mine eye.
Thanks for sharing!

I should really read my emails: Kickstarter will be on January 21st, sorry folks.

Started on 21st and funded over the weekend. Now on to Stretchgoals (Koralon, Triads, Gladiators, Dropships, Bikes and CLAUs).

Nice models and universe, but the prices are a non-starter for me. Worthy of Steve Jackson Games’ $8 GEVs. I hope they do well just on the principle that more 6mm is better than less, but way too rich for my blood.

Yeah, I’m with Mr Average whilst they are nice, part of the appeal of 6mm is its relatively low price

Hey there guys!

I’m the community manager at Age of Tyrants.

I think something important to say is that our focus is on Mass Battles, it is just that 6mm is the means to an end to get that result.

Our prices are in accordance with the correct profit margins we require for the set up costs of the business and then, for the future, room for discounts to offer retailers and distributors.

In short, we are offering the prices we are not out of greed, but we are being sensible and making sure the project ships successfully and on time. 🙂

Anyway, I want to show you guys some of the cool stuff we’ve got going on.

First off, more heroes have been unlocked! These are KIckstarter Exclusive!

Next up, exciting news… We have unlocked the CLAUs…

Here’s some of the concept art, to whet your appetite before seeing the models…

Here’s the figures.

There is still the VA3A CLAU to be unlocked…

[Mr. Average]

I never meant to say your prices were a sign you were in any way greedy or somehow mismanaging things – you have a responsibility to pursue your goals in the way you think is best, and clearly the work is very lovely and the game universe is quite compelling! Your prices are just outside my range, that’s all.

I still wish you the best of luck! I wish I had the kind of money you need, truly!

Since the 6mm here is in a league of 10mm elsewhere, I would say the pricing is rather competitive. Looking at the current pledge level despite the competition I would say some people have the same thought.

Does not mean I can buy all I want, but then again, neither can I buy all I want in other scales/games and I am old enough to deal with life.
