AT-43

For reasons unknow I happend to find myself on the Rackham website today: http://www.at-43.com/faction_red_blok.php?lg=EN (Well ok it was those TAC death dealers... and the red block... and those space gorillas), and Im actually amazed by the amount of previews (multiple double page spreads from the army books, big pictures of the miniatures where you can see the detail!), new material, fluff and support this game is getting (Especially since theres not that many new miniatures!)
When you compare it to what we've seen for SST (Or even BF:E) there is a bit of a disparancy...

I don't know what Im trying to say really, other than I wish Mongoose would take a leaf out of Rackhams book, miniatures wise both prepainted sci-fi games have about the same number of troops, background wise they should be equally matched too, so why can't we see a little more from Mongoose?
(And the excuse that the game isnt out yet doesnt wash, I knew far more about AT-43 two months prior to its launch then I do about SST:E)
 
Well, SST:Ev has the stuff from SST v1 to back it up, but you're right. I mean, the main rule book was a bit of a let down in the realm of fluff...
 
Yeah, its not as if I could bring myself to play AT-43 (its taken about a year and a half to get up to 3 SST players in my area, I dont think Im young enough to start another game :lol:), but it looks and sounds really nice, and I find myself actually liking the direction and pace Rackhams maintaining.
The thing is, Mongoose could easily be doing the same thing for SST. :?
My favourite thing I've seen from AT-43 is the number of pictures of miniatures and illustrations in the books, if Mongoose were to use existing miniatures to fill in the gaps, they could have a really interesting and picture heavy book! (It could help fill up some of the space not having army lists in left as well :D)
 
I see what you mean.... MGP could pick up a few ideas from having a surf of thier webpage about how to improve the presentation of their own stuff.....

Still only like one actually mini from AT-43 and thats a cargo containier :lol: Maybe some re-painted dragonov kommandos would make some good LAMI, but I will wait and see what MGP brings out for the prepainted LAMI. When we finally get a look at them?
 
I'm with you Max. I go to the SST and AT-43 sites practically everyday to see what's new. At least once a week I see something interesting for AT-43, with SST supposedly only 2 months out there is suprisingly nothing.

I'm having a hard time getting the local folks in my area to show interest in BF:Evo (mostly due to the genre), my hope is to get them to hold off until SST comes out, but with all that's available for AT-43 and their imrepsive web presence it's hard not to drop a few bucks and be full into a new game.

I really hope Mongoose gets something going for SST on the site so I can push for that to be the next big game in my area.

Click to expand...

:lol: :lol: Me too. I thought about buying a few accesory packs to use them as cargo containers for an MI forward base. The low defensive walls might be useful too as well as those other gadgets that might look fine as a communications array on a building.
 
Well I kinda like the Red Blok Mechas.

And I like the absolöutely overdone communist propaganda style of their background texts and quotes :lol:

but yeah it pretty much sucks that mongoose is showing us absolutely nothing of anything...
 
Was thinking the CCs would be even better for BF:Evo, but would also fit nicely into SST, not overly convinced by the walls, but sure we could use them. Was thinking those other bits would make fairly decent Skinnie stuff.
 
You know, I actually had a dream about the AT-43 terrain pack last night... I seriously need a life :(.

Well glad Im not the only one wondering about this.
Im assuming Im on the mods ignore lists or something (Id put me on the ignore list if I worked for Mongoose lol), but from what I can tell, Mongooses line is that the build ups already started and we should be happy with the forth preview last month.
Hopefully this month the preview will be better, but they've got a long way to go if they wanna make up for lost time!
(Especially since theres so many new faces around here these days, Mongoose should pull out the big guns!)
 
With SST I sort of feel like one of the 300 Spartans trying to keep this game going.

There is little support from Mongoose. No active pushing of the game. Just a few diehard souls trying to keep the flame alive.

They've basically given up for dead the original SST, and are waiting for Evo. They should be pushing SST and trumpeting Evo at the same time. They should be holding tourney's and painting contests, terrain design contests. Posting scenarios and campaign ideas. But unless I'm missing something, they don't seem to be doing much at all other than waiting for SST Evo.

I'm sure they are working hard behind the scenes to get Evo out, but public perception seems to be SST is dead in the water.

sigh, Xin
 
I know. they do not intend to even finish the skinnies, according to matt, and I recall alex mentioning the marauder for them would be released in some thread. Pity really.

Mentioning the 300 spartans only shed a dark light of realisation on the subject for me. Come to think of it, thing are really dire, aren't they?

Come to think of it, what do we actually know of Starship Troopers Evolution, and more importantly, what do we know of things to come?

Its getting harder to keep threading water.

I care.
 
Tonight we dine in Evo!!!!!?


also:
whos the traitor?



Yeah well one could say killing the old game and not really promoting the new one is madness.

madness?
THIS
