We've received this teaser image of the upcoming sci-fi board game from Mantic... Project Pandora.
But what's that at the side of the page? Could it be a clue as to the identity of the 8th Race?

that’s a funny looking copy of spacehulk you got their 😛 the beasty looks like a wolf to me 🙂
Wolf was my first thought also … but then it might be a badger …
I’m hoping for Space “Skaven”…
Since there’s werewolves in the KoW undead army, and we know there is already re-use of molds between KoW and Warpath, I would surmise that we will be seeing WEREWOLVES IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!!
Werewolves on the Moon = ULTIMATE WEREWOLVES.
thats the same thought I got….space “skaven” lol
Yeah, we know that @quirkworthy has been talking about rules for werewolves in DKH, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see them make an appearance. Would be cool to see the same army used in KoW and Warpath…. Either way, absolutely love a good game of DKH and am looking forward to seeing BoW cover this. Besides, I think the humans would make great Van Saar’s for Necromunda…
Space Wolf/Rat/Badgers! lol
Looks awesome, can’t wait for more information.
Attack of the Space Weasels has a ring to it! 😀
Its a piranah.
Thus….. Fishmen!!
or maybe its just wolves.
Thats ok, the confrontation wolfen were a great concept, add in spaaaace and they’ll get few quid from me I would think if the models are half decent..
If it is space skaven or wolfen I will (as usual) be unimpressed with Mantics originality.
im pretty sure no matter what race any1 makes up it wont be orignal as most things have been done b4 by some1else
Ill troll…GW isnt original so why should mantic be
Of course I feel its really hard for anyone to be original these days, in fact Id say not much new since i was born (which is a worryingly long time ago now)
OK, I’ll bite for the troll ;p
True. However I was not referring to any other company such as GW and their originality. Just the general apathy towards gaming and race design in general these days.
Unfortunately when people do odd aliens such as the lovely Quar and Hydrassians, the market fails to reward them. People say they want new, but then don’t support people who provide it.
@ jaerin – if it was space skaven or wolfen, why would you be unimpressed? There aren’t many other companies making either of them. Certainly GW doesn’t.
While the prospect of the new miniatures is awesome, and the reveal of another race…I am pretty stoked for the tiles and how it all works too. Mantic have had some superb tile art in the past which has really bought the game to life, so will be interesting to see what stories they can tell in this game.
It’ll also be interesting to see how the tiles change with whoever their new designer is (unless that’s for a future set) since Tears of Envy is no more. Keeping the old style and quality but putting a personal touch to the art will be a challenge.
I hope for not to much colour variance as the DKH set was lovely but not as cohesive as I would like- also when i read no more I always think th eworst rather than that the artist has been locked into a GW vault somewhere
Tammy is working on Pandora, so this set will still be full of Tears of Envy goodness 🙂
I would really enjoy the idea of werewolves in space (which is why I like the Shistavanens from Star Wars). However, to speculate, maybe they aren’t the eighth race we’ve been looking for. I mean maybe their some oversized space pest that isn’t interested in world domination but its next meal, such as a power cord or a tasty marine. Either way, I’d be happy with the results.
Im pretty sure this is the 8th race, but either way this is on my shopping list, DKH is a brilliant game, so fingers crossed for this one
Well, Mantic did give us the “squats” – boy does that sound dubious – I suppose it shouldn’t be too shocking if they give us the Hrud too.
Looking forward to rats… in spaaace.
are we not over this? Yes mantic brought us dwarves in space, because we know games workshop invented not only dwarves, but space as well! so mantic come along and make a model that resembles a model that hasnt been updated for over 20 years, or supported or legal in 40K for nearly 15 years
SPACE BADGERS!!! love it… can’t wait to get an arm of ferocious Space Wildlife… maybe the anti-hunt protest groups will get involved lol
Badgers!!! The mightiest of all Weasels! 😀
Did you say BADGERS?!!!
http://youtu.be/gx6TBrfCW54
Thats actually rather intresting.
An evil army of rabid space ferrets. stoats, rats, badgers, wild rabbits, vowels, moles, badgers, and the ultimate elite choice…. PSYCHOTIC SPACE SQUIRREL
Its Watership Down gone killer psycho.
could the army be………………..
THE BEASTS OF WAR!
Tyranots
Giegers
Bagers in Spaaaacccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee sounds good to
Vargrs sounds good to
mega excited about this., can’t wait for more info/pics
sit. beg. no … bad dog. BAD! GIVE ME BACK MY ARM!!!!!! get back here or no walkies!!!
More important than the wolfman, I am shocked to find the corporation grunts are actually cobra vipers!
Those corporation guys look cool, cant possibly be the same units shown in miniature form?
I feel bad for those troopers, I hear spacewolves are really overpowered?
Can’t wait for this game, Eighth Race teaser would just be a bonus.
Nastiest most evil snarling beasties in the universe: GW I.P. lawyers.
The Eight Race is a Lie ! (yeah… to much Portal -.- )
Just as long as they don’t sparkle.
This reminds me of the Ponyapocalypse on BGG over Essen- that would be a true horror a “MLP” faction
I have it on good authority that the space pseudo-vampires from the upcoming (not) Undead-in-Spaaace faction will indeed sparkle… They will also be full of very teenaged angst and played by actors who will never work again… It’s a reciepe for success I tells ya! 😀
As long as they put Dany Trejo leading the Rebelion Army i’m all ok with that :P.
Is that why no-one talks about the 8th race, because they’re mutant space Werewolves and everyone is a bit embarrassed at how those genes got into circulation?
Not long till the reveal then, excellent. I’ll almost certainly be picking this up and then spend next 3months trying to resist the urge to start a corporation army. Look at the new shiny shiny….
The 8th race will be called Veermyn (at least that’s what rumours say) and it’s most likely that they will be Space Skaven as this would fill another gap in GW’s range for 40k (the Hrud)
I would really like werewolves, but they are highly unlikely, imho.
Well, those aren’t frontal teeth of a rodent, so squirrels and rats don’t seem terribly likely. Unless they’re genetically modified.
Genetically modified, giant, mutant rodents from space!
It’s like a conspiracy theorist’s wet dream… I think If you also tell us they make crop circles you become their king!
How ’bout Tasmanian Space Devils.
