INDIEGOGO: SPHERE WARS - SUPERIOR COMBATANTS

Sphere Wars ha lanzado un Indiegogo para financiar tres miniaturas grandes para tres de las cinco bandas del juego, ya que las otras dos ya tienen una cada una. Aquí os dejo el Kickstarter Integro para que le echéis un vistazo. Además en este FyD enlace tenéis el vídeo en español sobre el mismo.

SphereWars is a 28mm miniatures fantasy wargame in a World, Saphir, created by four gods who play with the races they conceived.

Discover a dynamic skirmish game of 28mm miniatures in which You will Never Play Alone.

Go deep in a whole new concept of fantasy where every race, created by different Gods, is forging its own destiny.
The main features of SphereWars are:

• An incredible gameplay dinamism, which requires both players to pay attention to the game, not only during their turn, but also during the opponent's turn. Both players can make interrupts to avoid being attacked or change skills so that attacking you can backfire on your opponent (or yourself :))
• SphereWars is settled in a whole new world of fantasy, 'Saphir', with groundbreaking bands and backgrounds that allow us creating spectacular miniatures.

Please note that all miniatures require some assembly and painting. Most are metal-cast but the Superiors and the War machines that are cast in resin.

Three Superior Combatants are required

The biggest miniatures in Saphir are about to arrive. Some are so huge that other miniatures will climb their backs... or be crashed by their toenails!
We need at least 6.000€ to sculpt and cast three superior combatant miniatures: Ikarus, Hinos and Ratfuten that will complete the two existing ones: Leviathan and Werebull. We already have some concepts and the rules of these and, in order to build them, we offer you the possibility to obtain the bands' starter packs and build your full band with the existing miniatures.
These miniatures are going to be really big, take as an example the superior combatant of the Scions of Kurgan, the Leviathan. The Leviathan will look small next to Hinos or the Ratfuten because... these will have Imps and Kluchs mounted on them!!!

We have a wide range of perks, from the cheapest to the most complete perks with everything-we-have for very interesting prices. We have prefered to keep this campaign with few new miniatures in order to deliver it to you before the 2012 year ends, but if we achieve some of our goals we plan to start giving you some interesting extras of forecoming bands and special edition miniatures of current bands, it is in your hand!!

Some background

These are the gods of Saphir:

• Kurgan, the God of Ice, who also shows predilection for warfare,
  battles and martial harshness. He instils a high passion for combat in his creations and shapes mighty, fierce beings who frequently prove themselves to be true predators.His children in Saphir are the Scions of Kurgan, both soimi and regor.
• Kazag, God of Incineration, he seeks for his creations to prevail by means of overwhelming numerical superiority, defeating their rivals like a swarm. His children, the Packs of Urueh, battle’s main law is simple: Why fight enemies when you can just... incinerate them?
• Malesur, God of Wind, does not feel an excessive passion for battle or destruction, he prefers to obtain mastery over his brothers by means of the evolution of his creatures. Malesur created the humans that conform the Alliance. When they forgot their god, he favoured a few chosen and granted each of them the ability to take on the physical aspect of powerful beasts, confering them extraordinary power and strength in the process, these are the Adepts of Malesur.
• Mohed, the God of Sand and Rock, who has a penchant to use these elements to shape his creations. Like Kurgan, Mohed takes great pleasure in duels and battles. More reserved than his brothers, Mohed only acts when the circumstances demand it and his current plans in Saphir remain unknown.
• Salssa’el is the Goddess of Life. She is a wise and prudent being who prefers to keep apart from what she considers silly sibling rivalries. She is, therefore, the only one between the gods who has not joined the game of war raging among the spheres, and who rejects the death each and all of her four brothers cause with their endless battle, despising all of them alike.She insufflates the breath of life upon her brothers' creations. This is probably the reason why she despises how carelessly they reap hundreds of lives.She had a key role in the creation of the Newborns race, when she allowed a human to discover the power of the Quitessence. Although while her intentions were pure, her actions brought a new misfortune and evolved into new battles for power between the factions in Saphir.

The game was created in Spain and, during the last couple of years, we have stablished a faithful group of players but we really need to reach players abroad.
We think that completing the superior combatants of the three bands that are still missing them, is a good opportunity to show our game to the players outside our country and, at the same time achieve this goal of completing the superior combatants. Economy is not very well in Spain and that makes necessary to make our market to grow.
We are working on new bands that we would like to release once current five bands have all necessary miniatures. This campaign will help us to be known outside Spain and, at the same time, get enough income to ensure the continuity of the SphereWars project.

Our current bands

Scions of Kurgan

From all the Saphir creatures, is amongst the Scions of Kurgan where the most powerful and terrible can be found. They are the soimi, which together with their brother race, the regor, have become one of mankind´s (and other races in the sphere) main enemies. Not for anything the soimi are predators feeding on the vital energy of other creatures, which they absorb by sticking their tentacles in their victims. On their behalf, the regor share the hunger of their big brothers, but they lack stings. In return, they have a ferocity that make them very dangerous beings, and also their tails end in sharp blades able to inflict terrible wounds to their enemies.

Alliance

Among all the bands you can play in SphereWars, the Alliance is by far the one with a more medieval look, a more classical approach to the Middle Ages as we think of them nowadays. That reason makes many players to move towards them just for using a band made up of hardened knights and skilful amazons. However, these are not by far their only attractive.

You can play Alliance with any of the two factions:  The Legion of the One Hundred Hearts, composed only of man knights, The Amazons of Ishar, composed only by battler women or a combination of both in true alliance. Playing with any of them will take effect on your strenghts and weaknesses.

Packs of Urueh

There is no other band in the SphereWars universe as versatile as the Packs of Urueh, made up of very different creatures with two things in common: all of them are the work of Kazag, god of incineration, and of course, their only aim is to destroy everything and everyone in their way. Wild and unforeseeable, we can grant you will roar with laughter as you lead these small and fiendish incinerators.

Combatants of this band may seem weak and small but the low cost of most of its disposable combatants makes Packs of Urueh bands to be overwhelming in number, being able to get rid of much stronger combatants thanks to exhaustion and small wounds.

Adepts of Malesur

The Adepts of Malesur band is visually very attractive. That is because the leaders and troops are utterly captivating: you can find all kinds of fierce animal people which, however, display some human features.
But, of course, the attractiveness of its miniatures is not by far the only strong point of the band.

Unlike other bands, playing with them is also different due to their individual characteristics. And that is because every troop type you can choose from is focused on some specific function which, most likely, no other troop can do and their level of belief in Malesur allows transfering information between them and take effects in their comrade-in-arms.

Newborns

The Newborns emerged in Darlime motivated by the disagreement of an important amount of its inhabitants towards the One Hundred Hearts Legion's instaured government. Unlike the Legion, the Newborns potentiate and acquire all kind of new discoveries in order to evolve in several areas such as alchemy, mechanics and other sciences seriously restricted by the Legion of the One Hundred Hearts.
Leaded by the misterious Master, a man with a past and face unknown even between his followers, many are the achievements achieved during the years.
