Vesper-On Talk About Their New Project – Fanhunter
October 20, 2015 by brennon
Whilst it might look rather odd the world of Fanhunter is a popular one in Spain. It is quite a bizarre world and you can certainly see that in some of the miniatures that Vesper-On have been working on for Fanhunter: Urban Warfare...
"Fanhunter is based in a popular comic franchise published in Spain, but we will make it super accessible for all of you who've never heard from it before.You’ll discover an amazing universe full of violence and hysterical laughs, populated by great characters that will soon be turned into some of our greatest models."
They previewed a few more of the models for this series too and while I don't quite get the whole 'no mouth' thing I do like the character in the centre, Killer Dog, who looks like a neat private eye. Something about them reminds me of the moomins too.
They aren't sure if the project is going to be ready for Kickstarter just yet but maybe they'll be able to do it without the aid of a fundraiser. Either way it continues the zany work that Vesper-On are doing for the tabletop.
Have you heard of this comic world?

Consider me interested in learning more. I love quirky, super-casual games and this seems like it may be such.
Those are really funny looking.
While I always like to see a company moving forward I’m not sure I’m too thrilled to see Vesper-on taking on another project. The Carnevale pledges arrived months ago and were based largely around a range that was already there. A couple of new factions were added for the re-launch but I don’t think there’s been anything released since the campaign ended. Even the scenery from Plastcraft Games is still only three buildings and five bridges.
Then you have Home Raiders. An awesome new idea that is unbelievably easy to get into. Once the pledges are delivered I’d love to see them concentrate on slowly expanding the range.
As a Home Raider backer, I don’t think I could have said it better myself. Although this project does look interesting.
Hi Irredeemable (guys),
This is a good remark, but let me elaborate a bit on this. You’ve give me the best excuse to talk about our plans and about where are we standing right now :).
Carnevale has already been released to stores after the KS, and we’ve already put out to the market two batches with new models. Those are models that were unlocked during the Kickstarter, so this is the first time they arrive to retail. Each of those releases came out with with six new SKUs for stores. We are working on the third release right now, and new models will appear regularly from here on.
Home Raiders will start being sent out to backers this very week! And we hope to have the core box on stores before Christmas. New releases following after that.
What we are trying to do is expanding our range with new and exciting products, which are easy to manage from our end and can appeal to broader audiences, and even more commercially appealing. We believe that Fanhunter can be a big stepping stone for our company and the future of all of our ranges, and we’re sure we can produce a great game that will give the community a new concept to play with.
Could be fun.
As an old Fanhunter fan this proyect looks even better than expected. I wasn’t given them much attention to it because the series ended a while ago, but those models look rather nice (better than the old ones xD) What I think is a bit strange is the whole “leg think”, but the newer designs were all like that. I really liked the old style though, shorter and with no legs xD
And for all the fellow Beasts that have never heard about Fanhunter, it is the less casual comic series imaginable xD
” In 1996 the Pope Alejo takes control over Europe using a mixture of good vibe and brute force, and changes the vatican location to the city of Barcelona, now renamed Barnacity (blowing the old one in the process by the way). He creates a new religion based on the books of Philip K. Dick, and bans all that is consider “subcultural”: Comics, video games, anime, war-games… using a special paramilitar force as an inquisitional instrument; the Fanhunters, commanded by Alejo’s right hand, KillerDog.
Almost every “normal” person in Europe is at some degree happy with the ruthless reign of Pope Alejo, except an small bunch of renegades, the old fans; the wargamers, the role-players, the comic readers and anime lovers, who battle against the tyrant form the shadows, using every skill they might have developed from playing, reading or watching their favorite hobby, now banned and persecuted”
Welcome to Barnacity, you are under arrest.
Kamaron,
Thanks a lot for this message! We have a lot of work to do in order to spread the word of Dick to the world, and we need voices like yours to get the game out to the world!
Always ready to help! 😀
Good luck with the project, and may the Pichurrina be with you.
