MERCS Minis: 7th Heaven!
October 2, 2013 by dignity
Justin and Lucas are back in the studio with more from MERCS Minis. Today they are breaking out the 7th miniature for the games factions. Here's a little rundown on what the guys had a look at:
Sefadu: Heavy (A nasty big guy built to dish out the pain and help his own troops)
USCR: Gunner (Falling in line with all the USCR this is one big heavy dude that your opponents will have a tough time clearing off the table)
Kemvar: Shock Trooper (Sneaky and hard hitting this miniature will be a must-have simply for the comedy value of bouncing your opponents miniatures about the table and in to line of sight of your sniper. Or you could just blast them off rooftops if that takes your fancy!)
Kezi Waza: Spy (A close combat specialist whose training will leave your enemies as little piles of sushi!)
CCC: Breacher (A great miniature for making a path to your objectives. He also gets really angry when one of your guys goes down in a fight)
ISS: Demolition (Looks like the ISS have picked up a baseball pitcher and handed out some EMP grenades. This one is going to cause problems for all those big heavily armored guys out there. No Mini!!! Sorry Guys!!!)
FCC House 9: Saboteur (Well you've had a bad day at the office, your boss has just fired you, what's a man to do? Well this guy has ran off, joined the FCC, and will now be tossing Molotov cocktails at the enemy. Oh and when he's done you can always use him as cannon fodder!)
Texico: Eagle (Time for some high flying antics as the lads from Texico strap a jet pack to one of their guys and send him off into the great blue yonder. Let's hope he has the manual for it!)

Wow, look great and would love to wins these
i have always wanted to give this a go but the entry price is high for not knowing if i would enjoy them. This would get me a jump into the world of Mercs.
Great unboxing, you always make me sufer from a terrible shiny syndrome, I hate you guys!!!
Nice looking minis!
Looking cool. Merc’s cool stuff
I’ve been wanting to give this game a go since MERCs week here on BoW, but as I have so many other games I still haven’t played, I haven’t gotten myself any. However should I win these, I probably can no longer resist.
Thanks to your videos I’m getting more and more interested in Mercs. Count me in for the giveaway.
MERCS factions all suffer from grass is greener syndrome. All of them have envy inspiring cool toys.
Noooo, more factions to buy, theyre all so cool.
Can’t wait for these guys and their cards to become available. They all look fairly cool.
USCR! Dat gun!
Those are some great looking minis. I love the card art. There are just too many of these miniature games out there for me to play all the ones that look interesting.
i would love to win
Not looking too horrible. I’m hoping to get some of these, so I can try this game out.
All of these models make me want to collect all the factions.
I’ve got my Kemvar right here on my desk. They haven’t been painted or even cleaned yet, but they are next up on my list of gaming projects.
Would love to see some ideas for custom scenarios. The simplicity of the game really allows some freedom with scenario creation.
Cool stuff, love the new rules and the tactics they’ll bring.
Ok Im in it but if I win it , I’ll have to start a new game.. I’m sure i’ll cope.
Thinking back i really enjoyed the mercs week. The game you played was good fun. So more of the same introducing the figures please. Whatever you do you must have Lucas.
Pick me! Pick me!
Oh, and I’d love for you guys to design and battle report a three way mercs scenario. You could tie it in with battle systems terrain 😉
Nice, fingers crossed, thanks!
Cool stuff!
Sweet mini”s as always..
They look great. I’m still disappointed with the core ISS set sculpts. Else I would have picked them as my first faction!
No…. need to stop… buying…minis! Arrrgh!
As for what I would like to see in Mercs… A nice Campaign with a bunch of different objective based games. Those are always fun.
Love the look of the mercs minis. help a broke hobbyist out and pick me to win 😀
More MERCS? It’s almost like you guys love the game.
Oh wait, you do.
Moar!
I just picked up the House 4 starter. I cant find any videos discussing them. I would love to see you guys do a ” House 4 Faction Interview” similar to the others you did for the other factions.
Going to make this my first ever comment on Beasts of War, because I have to say I really like that Kem Var Shock Trooper, certainly my favorite from the bunch.
Would love to win, love mercs
Nice mini’s with some crazy gameplay. I’m kind of tempted to bunch them all together as a rebellious mercenary MERCS group. I’m not sure if the game would allow for that. 🙂
As for coverage I’d like to see a few scenario-based battle reps, perhaps a short campaign. It would be great to demo the rules and mechanics and to show some of the tactics you can come up with.
the iss aint made yet.
also how about some more painting demos, custom sanorios/ factions?
or (wait for it), how about MECHS!?!?!?
I’d love to see some more MERCS coverage; MERCS week was great. As someone looking at starting to play, the full game videos were awesome. I’d love to see more full games with some of the other factions so I can get a feel for how their differences actually play out.
nice to see so more MERCS love happening.
As a scenario, why not bend the rules a little and use ALL 7 minis from the factions, instead of playing the standard 5 man team. Tahiti game board, ISS dropping off a tech shipment, to KemVar in town (tech stolen from looted CCC facility, who send a team to re-claim their lost/stolen goods) then Texico ambush KemVar in response to the loss of some of their Panama holdings!
Kemvar , they never disappoint.
These look like really interesting sculpts, as they always do from mercs minis…
I’d love to have a go at painting them up!
Guys, I have two factions finished, I’m working on a third and picked up two more this weekend. I need more minis!
looking at the merc miniatures make me want to start a merc club in my area
What would I like to see from a mercs week? Reasons why I should play this game over other similar games. If I already play infinity, warmachine and others, and have Deadzone on order then what makes this game different? A Noobs guide to how the game plays. Discussions on the different factions in terms of play style, as well as fluff and art style.
You have seen Mercs week (the one we have already done?)
If not check this out http://www.beastsofwar.com/mercs/mercs-week/get-into-mercs/
MERCS are cool!
maybe this new character can add a little more varaiety in this game
5Vs5 (fixed) is good for a cupple of match
something to chose from can increase the fun and varairy
7 minis, wow nice prize
Winning these would give me a welcome break from 40k, which just isn’t affordable anymore :p
Wouldn’t mind to find them in my box. MERCS week was great, and it’s nice to see you continue the coverage.
..Love the design!!!!….lets see if lady luck likes me enough!!!
Got to love games with Molotov Cocktails 😉
these would be really good to help me start up my youtube channel doing product reviews and painting guides
I’m a personal friend of Lukas, I have ask him to team with me and take on Warren and Justin to a game. You guy up for the challenge?
Great looking minis.
I’d like to see a mini-Campaign with MERCs involving vehicles, outside terrain and some inside terrain. The story format could include an infiltration of a pathfinder, squad delivery, mission, escape and evasion and exfiltration. Someone earlier mentione Tahiti which migh offer some interesting terrain, aircraft, boats, cars & trucks. The inside part of the operation could use some of the various corridor systems available depending on which manufacturer chooses to sponsor.
:O I can win all that by commenting! Wow! 😉
I love the model designs on these guys. They seem to add a little to each faction, enough that makes me want to collect them all.
That eagle model is awesome. Nice unboxing guys. Thanks
Want!!
Some brilliant armour designs. Its always good to see a more realistic form and function approach to design every now and again as opposed to over the top aesthetics.
I’d love to see some nukes dropped on the field and bouncing enemies before the holidays
I got a couple armies and the rulebook, still haven’t gotten around to painting. I played at gencon a couple years ago it’s really solid game. All of those minis look cool, I have kemvar and sedafu. Thinking of picking up texico.
Some of those minis would fit perfectly into my Infinity armies.
I love the look of the Eagle (or what you can tell about it from the card). Mmm jetpacks!
Well, it´s about time I start with that game. I win of this goodies would be a great start, wouldn´t it 🙂
Shame no one in my area has been willing to give Mercs a bash. They’re great looking minis, and I’m always happy to try a new ruleset.
The spy looks realy nice, ads new options to this army.
I would like for see more campaigns with MERCS.
Nice looking minis!
USCR and Kemvar have got to be the coolest.
Just heard about your GW troubles. I would def switch to another game like Mercs if I got to try it and liked it.
More cool looking minis from MERCS… I have only played this a couple of times, but it is good, fast n furious fun. Reminds me I must press gang my club into a game or two.
I gotta stop buying Kickstarter minis so I can grab some of these. There should be more log fig counts games like this.
I’d love to see a full on Mercs Campaign playthrough, letting the viewers poll to chose what upgrades to pick for the rewards each faction takes after a session.
