Te plastic detail can be a bit soft at times and the paint jobs range from good to passable thankfully I'm a fan of repainting Pre-Painted minis. I'm going to watch this with both anticipation and trepidation.:)

Some news from GenCon about the new Heroclix games:

Those models look pretty neat.
I'll second that.
I wish they would give us a bit more info about the game already.
You mean like this...Quote:

Cool. Thanks for posting that. Sounds very interesting. Now to get some of my gaming buddies to try it when it comes out.
That's... eerily close to ideas I had about how to do a Trek minis game, were you to combine them both in one game.
Great minds think alike...or have the Wizkids PsiCorp operatives been picking your brains? You decide!:rolleyes::eek:;)Quote:

I was hoping for something a little less ... specific ... for the mission based game. Something presenting a variety of possible missions, or combinations of problems to solve. Ah well.
Some more info in the form of an interview with the Product Development manager at Wizkids...

Interesting points about the mini prototypes, and also about what ISN'T coming out (read the post and see!)
I'm so wanting to play that Star Trek Fleet Captain Game right about now!
What ships are we expecting? The interview says 10 to 12 ships per side. Let's stick to the Federation side. What classes will be included?
Some ships I could see being used of the top of my head, sorted roughly by era.
My guesses which class will be included are marked with an *.
NX-class[*]
Deadalus-class
Constitution-class
(Constitution-class refit?)[*]
Miranda-class[*]
Oberth-class
Excelsior-class[*]
Constellation-class[*]
Ambassador-class[*]
Galaxy-class [explicitly mentioned/seen][*]
Nebula-class[*]
Intrepid-class [explicitly mentioned/seen][*]
Akira-class[*]
Saber-class[*]
Steamrunner-class
Norway-class
Souvereign-class [explicitly mentioned/seen][*]
I'm not sure about the Runabouts from DS9, so I left them out.
I would be hard pressed to get together 10-12 different classes of Klingon (or later on Romulan) ships. Therefore I'm afraid that we won't see 12 ships per side, but ratehr 8 - 10.
In my oppinion, the mentioned expansion boxes might not come as pure Faction boxed sets (like a mentioned pure Romulan box) but will most likely include a variety of ships from associated powers. Dominion ships and Cardassian ships in one box for example.
What do you think?

The figures really look good!
Dissapointing. I'm only interested in a ship combat varient. This just looks pants and boring.
Each to his own. Ships prototypes were shown earlier in the thread. There have been some questions (mostly from me, now that I think of it) about figures. If you don't like figures, my post was not aimed at you. Feel free to browse other areas of the forums.
