Airlock’s Counterblast Kickstarter Rockets Onto Kickstarter!
February 17, 2014 by brennon
Airlock Games have blasted off and Kickstarter now plays host to the Counterblast: Adventure Battle Game! Check out some of the different faction core sets below that can become part of your pledge and also a short gameplay snippet above too.
There is such a varied and original selection of miniatures on offer for this game that I think a lot of people should find a model or a bit of narrative to love amongst it all. Each of the Core Sets for the game is distinctly different and allows you to make a small crew that will never really expand past twenty models.
"Counterblast is an adventure battle game set in an alternate Earth future past where humans join forces and technologies with several alien species to protect freedom throughout the Milky Way galaxy, particularly a region of space known as the Outer Reaches."
Visited by beings from different planets in the 1950s this pulls on the pulp heartstrings and really rockets you into another awesome sounding sci-fi world.
Above are some of the first miniatures for the game showing off their nice 'comic' take on the genre allowing them to create some ace models. I think those one-eyed aliens are some of the coolest out there.
Over all though the faction for me has to be the Galactic Defense Force!
Will you be pledging?

At $25 for what looks like around 20 minis and no rulebook, the shipping seems a bit steep, though.
Looks kind of interesting, has a retro feel to it. Although, that orange one-eyed one with the hair creeps me out. Anyways, I might give it a go, I tend to gravitate to the skirmish games that don’t require you to sink a grand into them.
We have posted the printed rulebook to the Add-Ons section for additional pledge amount. It give folks who want either just the minis OR the just rules a way to pick and choose.
Plus we have posted the FREE Core Rules Preview PDF for instant download on the main page. You can also get it here https://www.dropbox.com/s/r367p4kd5n5ybdi/CABG_RulesPreview.pdf
We have relaunched the project!

So if you had looked at it before, you may want to check it again. There is the printed Rulebook, more models in every Core Faction Set, more Freebies, more stretch goals at lower levels and lots of new minis previewed!
