Gerry gets to check out what Archon Studio have brought to the mix this year at Salute 2019!
A combination of board games, miniatures and terrain adorn their beautiful space at Salute this year. One of their stand out displays is their fantastic vertical terrain which is all push fit. Not just content with that, Archon have been showing off their in development StarCide as well!
You could win – 2 StarCide preview Sprues!
What do you think is the the most exciting thing on Archon’s booth this year?
Looks so good!! Missed out on loads at Salute thi year.
The miniatures on the tables do look well camouflaged for the terrain. ?
That’s some neat terrain! Could use that for a bunch of different gaming systems ?
Starcide was the game that got me the most pumped this year. I’m more of a fantasy gamer than sci-fi but this game had just the right blend of both to pique my interest. The free Necromancer model that came in the goodie bag looks ace and the sprues for the space vampires look crisp, also the moulded bases that come with them are lovely. Really looking forward to this game and liked the fact they were looking for feedback at this early stage.
The Minis look bid set next to the terrain.
The height of those scifi buildings is crazy!
Very cool and the terrain look good either as flat pack or glue for a club.
Guys get a demo i image that the community here could give some nice feedback for them.
Sad I has to drop out of the Rampart KS as I ran out of cash, roll on retail
Late pledge is open
thanks, i’ll check it out
That terrain is amazing! Looking forward to seeing more from StarCide as well.
This game sounds pretty interesting. I prefer streamlined to crunchy most of the time for TT games.
I wasn’t gonna comment but then he said space vampires and now I have to
Game looks interesting. Does somebody know where that mech is from? I feel a weird sudden urge to get a big stompy boy.
the mech is from their empire of men ks

late pledge available https://archon-studio.com/shop/index.php?id_product=98&controller=product
don’t think its available as a single so far
Thanks buddy!
Wow, nice stuff. I like the simplicity of the dice mechanic. That should speed up combat. I don’t know which I like better the miniatures or the terrain. I really like the ogre with the shotgun and shield.
Have a great history of outstanding minis
Really sad that Warzone is gone…hope that StarCide will make up for that.
Any aliens terrain?
They actually lost the license to Alien vs Predator and the line is closing.
It was a barb I still haven’t forgiven these guys.
Very interested in Starcide. Looks promising!
starcide looks like one to watch
Looks good!
Uhhhhh, sounds cool. I like the dice system with the d12
like the terrain
Injected terrain, What’s not to like! I will defiantly be on to have a deep look at the game. Ho who knew, lasers have infinite range.
The push-fit terrain is the most exciting for me. The holes in the walls are bit not so good. I have an idea for this. Make little gargoyles or something to put in these holes. This will enhance the overall quality of the look of the pieces, I reckon.
Starcide looks like a very interesting game and I am going to keep my ear out on that one for sure.
