Spartan Games Next Dystopian Legion Kickstarter On Hold?
October 14, 2016 by stvitusdancern
Spartan Games announced yesterday on Facebook that towards the end of October they were going to launch a Kickstarter for a new game based on their Dystopian World but in 15mm.
It was going to have a full range of troops, vehicles, and flyers. Well, the feedback they received on that post was not all favorable as many wanted to see their current games developed more and miniatures to support them.
Knowing the guys at Spartan Games and how they like to listen to their players and fans they took a step back and re-evaluated the campaign.
Today they announced they heard you and want to get your input, so with that in mind, they will be creating a small survey to send out to people to see what it is they really would like to see come from Spartan Games. I believe this is a wise move and will make many of their players happy as they will be heard with their concerns.
I hope in the near future we see more releases for both Halo games, Dystopian World games, and Firestorm Armada. All of their games have a die-hard following and we even see tournaments at Adepticon.
Do you think this was a smart move from Spartan Games?

Very wise move. No point developing something that doesn’t sell. I signed up for their mailing list at Salute for their tank game, I be heard nothing but if rather they spend their time building their current lines than starting something new.
Really sad to see a cool idea for anything in 15mm get killed.
It could be what Legions should’ve been. But kind of agree with the masses that they need to consolidate what they have first. There’s also a lot of people disappointed about the games Spartan have created in the past that they no longer support.
Never a bad idea to listen to the customer.
I have a love hate relationship with Spartan Games. First, I do feel for them as a company that starts a game and if that game doesn’t bring in the sales they need they need to at some point cut there loses and end that game. But… I find the business model they follow is hard to swallow as a customer. They seem to make a game solely to make sales as fast as they can and then move on to the next game or model that can make money. I find very little support for the games they make.… Read more »
I got sucked in by Firestorm: Planetfall, hoping it would feed my Epic needs with it’s Titan-like ‘Leviathans’ that are missing from Dropzone Commander, and that it could interact with FS:Armada, but it has faded from Spartan’s attention thanks to them jumping on the Halo bandwagon, which I have zero interest in.
They’ve left me feeling suckered and stupid.
So I’m done with Spartan and will save my money for the real thing now – Adeptus Titanicus is coming early next year.
Just waiting for BFG to return and I won’t need any games but GW in the future.
I know what you feel and it truly does feel like Spartan Game has a bag of bread crumbs scattering it to the pigeons. I just wish they keep committed to a hand full of games. We don’t care for hundreds of games that will fall to the wayside due to them stretching themselves too thin. FS:Armada as you pointed out is a perfect example of them just dishing something out half hearted. Don’t they see that it’s the lack of commitment to the games the make that scares people from investing into any game from them? They will be… Read more »
