Dynastopian Wars

The world of Dystopian Wars is similar to our own, but subtly different. The year is 1870 and the Industrial Revolution occurred decades earlier than in our own world. Technology is far advanced, and in many cases, unrecognisable, which has led to the development of fantastic naval vessels, hulking land ships and terror from the skies in the form of airships and war balloons.
Dystopian Wars is set in a Steampunk Victorian world and is designed to ensure a fun game with a large selection of high quality models in a couple of hours. The rules support Naval, Aerial and Land models from the outset, so that you can set up battles and scenarios in any combat setting. Spartan Games will supply highly detailed, high quality resin and metal miniatures with which you can roam the high seas, scour the smog filled skies of Dystopian Wars for enemy flying ships, or doggedly defend the cities and countryside of your home nation.
Heroes of Myth & Legend
Our first set of 40mm miniatures start our journey into the world of Greek Mythology and focus in the main on Jason and his Argonauts. We've kicked off with a number of classic modelsfor this particular myth and added a few extra models along the way.
Firestorm Armada
This game is our second major product release, and follows the same ethos with which we designed The Uncharted Seas, both are games that are easy to learn and give a fast paced game. We are big fans of naval games whether they are on the ocean or in deep space, so it was a logical progression to ask our sculptors here at Spartan Games to work on some futuristic ship designs.
Firestorm Armada launched on November 23rd with four fleets in place: Terrans, Dindrenzi, Aquans and Sorylian. All four fleets also had Carrier upgrade ships available for them and in our 96 page core rule book we detailed two more races - The Directorate and The Relthoza. Over time we will roll out more upgrade ships, including such things as Escorts, Heavy Cruisers, Leviathans, Gunships and so on.
Uncharted Seas
The Uncharted Seas is a fast paced, action packed game of naval tactical combat set in a world of high fantasy. Using superb resin and white metal miniatures, and controlled by fast and easy to learn rules, the game allows you to wage war with fantastical squadrons of mighty warships.
Choose from one of several races, including the Iron Dwarfs with their steam powered ironclads, Orc Raiders with their grotesque machines of war, the ever powerful Dragon Lords, an ancient race of magical seafarers, Imperial Humans hell bent on grabbing as much land as they can and the Thaniras Elves with their sleek ships of war.

More Core Nation Upgrade Boxes

After releasing upgrade boxes for the first four core nations, our attention turns to releasing new models for the Covenant of Antarctica, Republique of France and Russian Coalition. The goal was to give each a unique feel, with models that work in concert to lend each of the boxes a different gaming style. For example, the CoA box centres on the incredible Euclid Class Dreadnought which can devastate vast areas of the battlefield with its colossal particle accelerator, rocket batteries and energy cannons. The Russian Coalition box, on the other hand, combines advanced generators and powerful mortars for battlefield control with the sheer brute that is the White Navy's staple. Look out for the Khatanga Class Ice Breaker, its mechanical ram is as effective as demolishing ships as it is shattering the thick ice sheets of the White Sea. Finally, the Attack Flotilla enhances the close-range might of the Republique of France with a plethora of Heat Lances. Then, once the enemy's hulls have been vaporised, Assault Corvettes close in to finish them off with elite boarding marines.

Hui, die Modelle sind wieder ziemlich geil geworden. Der Covenant sieht zur Luft nun endlich wieder aus wie die überlegene High Tech Fraktion, die er ja sein soll. Hoffentlich kriegt die Fraktion auch sonst noch ein Upgrade, denn es ist schon schwer zu verstehen, warum jetzt die Italiener bessere Schilde und die Australier bessere Energy Turrets haben können als die Wissenschaftlerfraktion, von der die Prototypen für diese Technologie ursprünglich stammen.

Besser als die Antarktiker gefallen mir aber die Franzosen. Das "Upgrade Magenta"-Schlachschiff, nun sogar mit 2 Heat Lances, schaut echt böse aus. Und dann Schlachtkreuzer mit jeweils 3 Heat Lancettes, das ist auch eine ordentliche Feuerkraft - ich danke aber mal nicht, dass man die in einer zweier Einheit aufstellen kann, sonst gibt es ja nicht, was diese Feuerkraft stoppen kann. Die Box ist definitiv gekauft.

Die Russen fallen da etwas ab. ANscheinend sind das eher Artillerieschiffe, denn die haben alle nur Mörser-ähnliche Geschütze installiert.

Spartan Games hat im eigenen Forum angekündigt, dass Anfang kommenden Jahres die zweite Edition von Dystopian Wars erscheinen soll. Bis dahin sollen noch einige Zusätze zum Spiel als PDF erscheinen, die dann in das neue Grundregelwerk einfließen.
The next DW 2.0 hardback book will arrive after Christmas, in the first couple of months of 2014. We've a bunch of new online PDF materials coming your way prior to Christmas (currently in the hands of out testers) and in the 2.0 book these amends will be formalised and put into print.

Bisher ist sich Spartan Games noch nicht sicher, ob die Nationen im Buch enthalten sein werden oder ob es für jede ein Booklet geben wird. Entscheidet man sich für die erste Variante, dann sind alle Kernnationen enthalten, nicht jedoch die Allianzmächte. Die 22 Allianzmächte (ja, weitere sind im Anmarsch) werden ein eigenes Buch erhalten.

Für die beiden neuen Allianzmächte wird es natürlich Modelle geben, außerdem sollen Mk.II-Versionen der existenten Schiffe erscheinen. Spartan plant weiterhin, ein weiteres Regelsystem im Stil von Armoured Clash im DW-Universum einzubringen, diesmal auf Luftschlachten ausgelegt. Und auch über ein System, das den Kampf unter Wasser abbildet, wurde schon nachgedacht.
Zur Unterstützung der Systeme soll es ein Kampagnensystem geben, zusammen mit einem Spielplan in Form einer Weltkarte.

HALO Tabeltop Games

Halo_Banner_White.jpg

Spartan Games has entered into a License Agreement with Microsoft Corporation to design and produce tabletop miniatures games for “Halo®”, the global entertainment phenomenon. The first products will be on sale around the world through Spartan Games’ sales and distribution channels in 2015.

The award winning “Halo” franchise was first seen on the Xbox in 2001, but has since transcended video games to build a worldwide fan base of millions and inspired best-selling novels, comic books, action figures, apparel and more. Now exciting tabletop miniatures games can be added to the list.

Neil Fawcett, Creative Director, Spartan Games said “Our design team are huge fans of ‘Halo’ and this opportunity is the icing on the cake for them. After six years of successfully creating our own games and models, we can now work with Microsoft to bring epic ‘Halo’ spaceship battles to gaming tables around the world. And if that’s not enough, we’re making fast and furious ground combat games as well. Hard to tell what is more exciting: invading Reach with our Covenant Fleet or assaulting ground defences with Spartans and UNSC Marines?”

Ich hatte ja gehofft das HALO nur eine Erweiterung für Armada/Planetfall wird, aber anscheinend wird das doch was komplett eigenständiges.

Hi Folks,
I thought I would answer a few questions on the forum to help us all acclimatise to the exciting news that we will be working with Microsoft to design tabletop games for the phenomenon that is Halo.
So, here goes:
1) The IP for Halo is owned by Microsoft. Spartan Games’ role is to work with the Halo team to bring the stunning imagery of the Halo Universe to the tabletop.
2) Spartan Games owns the IP for Firestorm Armada, Firestorm Planetfall, Dystopian Wars, Dystopian Legions, Uncharted Seas and so on. These are game settings we are very proud of and this thrilling new development will not impact our existing plans for any of our games.
3) One of the questions raised, was that of manufacturing capacity. Halo is a game that is being realised in plastics, and we are proud to say that it will be manufactured in the United Kingdom. This external manufacturing process will ensure that our resin and pewter manufacturing will not be adversely affected.
4) As to whether our Halo games and other Spartan products can work together is not an issue. They are distinct gaming products that use their own rule set and mechanics – they are not designed to operate together because they exist in two completely different science fiction genres.
5) We have been working on the Halo project with Microsoft since early 2014 and have been careful to factor in its release schedule to complement the release schedules of our other games. Indeed, look out for many more announcements regarding existing and new products directly from Spartan Games.
Rest assured that we will be working on all of our games over the coming years, and we are hugely excited to be given the opportunity to work with Microsoft as bring such an exciting Universe to the gaming table.
Cheers,
Spartan Neil

Und wieviele TTs hatte Spartan damals? 2? Uncharted war doch schon vor offiziellem Mailorder only nicht mehr supportet. Nö DEM, schon als FSA rauskam wurde das mehr gepusht als Uncharted Seas.

Jetzt Dystopian Wars (auch nicht mehr so gehyped), Dystopian Legions (gibts das noch?) und was weiß ich nicht alles. Dazu noch die Spartan-typischen Regeln in wirklich jedem System - ich sags nicht gern aber selbst GW macht DA mehr richtig als Neil und Co. Immerhin hat man mir höflich aber bestimmt gesagt das mein Magazin uninteressant ist, das haben bislang weder Spartan noch Hawk (Ex-Spartan) hingekriegt. Mehr pern PN weil zum einen OT und zum anderen warte ich nur auf den Zuruf ich würde mein Abendgebet gen Nottingham Lenton ausrichten.
 
Noch ein neues Spartan System

Bei Terrain Kickstarter noch ein neues Spielsystem vorgestellt:
Ein "Fantasy" Skirmischer.



As promised, we've made available a host of exciting add ons with a Greek mythology theme.
dfc375fa8003a26d3fa2a2223d95ec5c_large.jpg
Temple of Hades Pack (please add £30 to your pledge level) - 15 stunning 40mm miniatures, MDF tokens and a PDF of the Death or Glory Rulebook. Shield transfers not included. Skeleton poses vary and are supplied with a random assortment of shields.

Skeletal Horde (please add £30 to your pledge level)
951d0719c59a6e1277b5df1ffa2945f4_large.jpg
2 Scorpions (please add £30 to your pledge level) - approx 125mm long and almost as high, these giant scorpions are not to be messed with!
We've also made a new artwork option available. Whatever pledge level you opt for, you may now choose Temple of Hades artwork instead of Fantasy, Sci-Fi or WWII. If you want one of the original themes in addition to Temple of Hades artwork, you can opt for the Bronze Artwork Pack add on and choose Temple of Hades artwork. Remember you don't need to specify which options you require now - we will get that information from you in a survey after the Kickstarter has ended.
[h=1]What is Death or Glory?[/h]The idea behind Death or Glory, or DoG for short, is fairly simple: create a set of skirmish rules that are quick to play, fun, colourful, different and provide a gaming experience that allows Legends and Heroes to be just that! We wanted to play games featuring mythical warriors such as Perseus, Hercules, Achilles and other Greek Heroes, but beyond that the game engine had to embrace many, many genres. One engine to learn – a myriad of tabletop options. Achilles one week, Robin Hood the next or maybe an Elven Warrior the next.
The focus of development was therefore to create rules that favoured the heroes and legends of past centuries at the expense of the common warrior. To make such heroes and legends quite literally deadly on the tabletop. BUT - and this is a big BUT - they are not unbeatable. If you charge a hero into a unit of enemy warriors on his own, with no support or strategy, it’s going to hurt - or could even be fatal! But use him as he should be - a heroic fighter - and he will carve his away around a battlefield, just as these inspiring characters do in the movies.
The idea is to use DoG to re-enact scenes from a movie, book or graphic novel, or make up your own encounters using lots of models. Whether you have Leonidas cutting a path through Persian Immortals to save an injured companion, or Jason trying to fight his way through skeletons to the safety of his ship, DoG is perfect for recreating such encounters.
Our first set of rules and statistics fit in the Greek world, where we start with the mythological world of heroes and monsters like Perseus, Herakles, Cyclops, Minotaur, Aeetes, Medusa and so on. Names of characters that invoke exciting ideas of recreating those pivotal moments in movies as the hero (or villain!?) wins the day. We look forward to seeing your adventures and hearing about your heroic adventures in the world of Death or Glory!
