Sci-Fi Wargame, Urban War Returns To Tabletops With Seb Games
October 20, 2023 by brennon
Seb Games has reached an agreement with Scotia Grendel to bring the world of Urban War back to the tabletop. The 28mm Sci-Fi miniatures will be available through both outlets for now and there are plans to take Urban War further in 2024!
Urban War Starter Set Triad Vs Gladiators // Seb Games
Seb Games is going to be producing a new edition of the game in the Summer of 2024 but in the meantime, you'll be able to dive into the 1st Edition of the game with the Two-Player Starter Set that you see here featuring the classic miniatures for the Triad and the Gladiators.
As well as getting access to the Starter Set, you can also just download the Urban War Rules for free over on the Seb Games website so you can see if the game is for you. The game can be played by more than two players and features a neat skirmish system as well as ways to develop your team through the gaining of experience to turn them into your preferred fighting force!
Urban War Starter Teams
In addition to the Starter Set, you can also get your hands on a bunch of individual Starter Teams which allow you to zone in on a particular faction if you prefer.
Gladiator Starter Team // Urban War
Junkers Starter Team // Urban War
I remember when I first started looking at miniature wargaming for Beasts Of War back in the day and Urban War was one of those games that had quite the following. I remember the Junkers being a big draw, mainly because of those Judge Dredd-style shields!
Syntha Starter Team // Urban War
Triad Starter Team // Urban War
I also really like the look of Syntha with its mix of robots and augmented individuals working together. The range is pretty awesome and it's nice to see that Seb Games are not only going to be making the miniatures available on their store but also working towards new rules for the game.
Vasa Starter Team // Urban War
Viridian Starter Team // Urban War
Make sure to go and check out the Seb Games Page all about their plans for Urban War as I've no doubt they'll look at updating it with more news as and when it comes out about the new edition of the game.

Ah, this takes me way back.
lovely
Never heard of this, but I’m getting some awesome vibes of these minis! Not that I have enough skirmish systems lying around or anything… The Triads and Viridians in particular look fantastic.
These are nice minis. I got some for Stargrave as they work quite well with Northstar. Scotia Grendel used to sell them. Those triads now look promising…
Are the Urban War minis the same height as Northstar’s?
Yes.
They run a bit smaller than older 40k, particularly the women, and the guns aren’t crazy big. So yes I think they do scale with North Star pretty well.
These look amazing and I’m very much tempted to dive in. I sense a VOID in my back account soon.
Will they still come packaged in a video cassette box
Yes, well, sort of… we use DVD boxes these days 🙂
These are fantastic! I’m so tempted.
I remember this game from back in the day, but I never played it. It is nice to see it get a second lease on life. I hope it does well.
The Viridians make excellent 40K Inquisition Stormtroopers.
i think of Dredd mega city with these figures.
