A new KS from CGL? Launching in 2030? 🤣

Coming 2025, fulfilling 2125

@limburger – what have you got planned for the next decade? This could fill that void!

Just imagine how much internet ranting and raving another Kickstarter from them will generate, probably enough to power a small country.

I’m thinking it’s a lame April Fool’s by CGL.

I don’t trust advertisements when they’re *this* close to that date and so beyond what the franchise has been about.

(still nothing from the kickstarter at this time … and I doubt I will get anything before next month TBH)

Lets see if CGL are still in business by the summer 🙂

There are only so many KS’s they can launch to fill the coffers. Eventually they will run out of suckers…er, I mean backers.

I do not have the book of face. I’m not social enough!

What does it say?

Well this is apparently real.  Also it appears that there actually is no paranormal elements in it, No demons ghosts or sentient aliens.  Guerilla minatures posted a link to the universe primer pdf. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1duleZQjy4YksSm7Ev48Xu0Ypu42h3ihz?fbclid=IwY2xjawJOj5NleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHQ4CXveyAelmW8lZ27pIWScyHU6mcyLKEQwKr76Ah6wW81DVtAV-a1wBmw_aem_kfRA8ZKwgM1UDOjgAXLzWg

I have not read the entire thing. But the time frame is 3015.  The star league has still collapsed.  There is no comstar but there is a 6th empire that rose out of the ashes of the hegemony.  There is no magic or demons or paranormal elements. The monsters are all genetically engineered. Aparently a xenobioligist discovered some sort of alien parasite that basically allows you to just combine creautures without rejection this same parasites help to accept cybenetics as well.

The creatures are called abominations and the non altered human ones are only as smart as intelligent animals.  Also they have altered humans as well.  The cappellan  chancelor is part snake.

The abominations seem to fill the  same role as power armor and protomechs. Although they said some of the larger ones could rival mechs.  I hope that they are just not reskinning power armor and protomech rules and construction rules.

What else, Almost all battlemechs are two seaters to have an abomination handler as a passenger.  In additon I heard they intend to do a steampunk version as well.

@grantinvanman I’ve avoided the book of faesces as well. I’d say that makes us smart 😉

I’d say let’s wait and see what happens to this after April Fools’ day has come and gone.
The minis are far too complicated for what CGL have produced so far.
I don’t see them making this a reality this year without a kickstarter to help fill the hole they’ve dug with their previous kickstarters.

I want my big stompy robot thingies first.

This is what happens when they run out of ideas…………

This is what happens when they run out of ideas money…………

Fixed that for you.

Wonder if Ben is checking on this in case it is an Aprils Fool?

I saw it yesterday and forgot we have silly day next week.

@limburger two smart people indeed!

I can’t believe you STILL are waiting for your KS.

I should just mail you my spare stuff to tide you over 🤣🇨🇦
