Maelstrom’s Edge Unlocks Big Epirian Robots For The Battlefield
May 6, 2015 by brennon
Maelstrom's Edge is still going strong on Kickstarter and they've not only revealed some fantastic New Robots for the Epirian faction but also shown off quite the bundle of hard plastic you'll be getting at the end of it all. More on the Robots in a bit!
What's In The Box?
As it stands the reward for pledging at the £60 mark will get you this whole host of fancy stuff below and of course as more stretch goals are revealed there will be additional content forthcoming...
As you might have been wondering about the pledge, yes, it's all in plastic and looks like it's going to go together very nicely indeed. The two factions are getting rounded out well and there's even a few sneaky teasers in there of models yet to come. I'm really interested to see how the Karist Angel turns out as a big beast for them!
Robots Not In Disguise
Weirdly enough these Robots don't look like they need to be in much of a disguise. See what you make of the Epirian Hunter-Class Warmech that come with five different gun options...
Each of these models stands at around 48mm tall and has a range of possible stances and configurations. There is a ball joint in the hips allowing you to swing things around as well as a range of different posing options in the hands, elbows and shoulders.
Weapons wise the Warmech comes with a Flakk Cannon, Dual Suppressor Machine Gun and Maglock Chaingun option, with dual wielding possible for all but the Maglock Chaingun on top of the Rocket Pods atop the shoulders. A walking killing machine.
Have you been won over by Robots?

Those look really good.
That’s a boatload of stuff for 60 pounds!
Makes you wonder how some companies can still sell individual man sized minis for 20+ £ each .. thats quite an impressive feat i have to admit.
Damn you Spiral Arm Studios – why did you have to release the War-mechs!
Now, I’m afraid I have no choice but to sign up for the Kickstarter.
I promised the wife after Conan, and Blood Rage, and the Mantic Expansion, and Nakamura Tower, that I wasn’t going to sign up for any more Kickstarters for a long time.
But in the decision between War-mechs vs chronic spouse-enduced ear ache, these very very sexy looking war-mechs win over…..but only just!
So not only do they provide an escape from reality, they provide a reason to want to escape reality. That is sophisticated wargaming right there. I feel the wargame that actually conducts actual war is just around the corner at this pace.
Oh nice one – upping the ante and exciting more interest in the game and the paradigm. Well done!
Damn it!!! I wasn’t going to back this one but now I’m in.
They have already done so much of the leg work with development I think they deserve my money. 🙂
.. It looks like a freaking toy you get at the dollar rama store… again not interested.
Actually, I recently bought something at Dollarama that looks close to these lol. The paint doesn’t help. My plan is to do a lot of mods with plasticard and milliput and see what I can come up with 🙂 .
