Okay... round 2.

So this thread is for posting thoughts, speculations and in the case for those in the know... hints and teasers! (<-- Including any Greens, artwork etc)

Sprawl Gangers is an upcoming minature game for Shadowrun which will have you taking on the role of a street gang, with the ability to build and develop your gang (though how.. not too sure yet )

I think it sounds similar to necromunda, a game I really liked.  Rumour has it will be influenced by Battletech (which makes perfect sense given its the same company), but how?  Not sure yet.

My personal thoughts are that Minature Kickstarters do very well, and these minatures will be made by CoolMiniOrNot who just completed the two of the most successful Kickstarters ever (almost $1 Million in funding each!) so I would hope to see a very successful Kickstarter for Sprawl Gangers... if this idea was picked up 

So what are your, on-topic, thoughts?

I'm thinking I bought the BattleTech Box Set just a little too early...   

I'll certainly be interested in seeing how the rules work out, that's for sure!

I am kind of hoping that it is not going to be hex-based. It would be nice if it was done in such a way that I could use
the terrain for other miniature games at my FLGS, instead of it being yet another board game that will get the miniature
gamers looking down on it because it is using hexes.

That said, it is pretty popular. Those clicky game people use grid maps for their games, and the most god-awful maps, yet at our local conventions, those folk completely outnumber the miniatures people a good 4 or 5 to 1.

There's something to be said for ease of play.

The Mercs setup is nice. Each unit has a card that doubles as a ruler for movement, complete with little indents for the miniature.

I'm really hoping its not clicky based. I'd want miniatures I can build and paint.

Combat dial is owned by WizKids, I can't see CGL paying a license to use the mechanic.

Pre-painted is not something to be avoided. In fact, I think that all of them should be pre-constructed and painted. It does not have to be "clicky" like the old Mage Knight to be such.

I like the pre-painted pathfinder minis. I have never played and I am unlikely to ever play pathfinder, but I still collect the minis.
That said, coolornot minis tend to be unpainted and I suspect that there is more of a market for unpainted because people like to customise etc

Indeed! Now just to see if I can find the time to commit to the group to support the playtest.

I need to beat my GM to get in on this.

I have already sent my application. I am hoping that they will be fairly easy going on who they put in. I would love to
let my group's peculiar brand of stressing the rules until we hit edge cases to contribute.

Seeing as the majority (if not all ) of cool mini or not are modeling enthusiasts it will almost definately be a build and paint set. I will see if I can pester some people
