The World Of Twilight

About 2 weeks ago Mike sent me a link to these chaps. I liked them so much I got in contact with the creators and lo and behold I'm now the first stockist of Color Warz products outside of France, thanks to Fabien and Mike.

It's a skirmish board game needing 6 or 8 miniatures depending on the number of players. Think fantasy paintball and you're not too far off the spirit of the game. It's scheduled for release in April 2012 in both French and English. They have already released their first set of resin miniatures which are just breathtaking seen up close.

The English beta rules for the game can be found Here (http://www.fluogames.com/en/our-products/paint-brawl/rules-download). I thought that a link to the google translate of the game site would be handy too, it's in delightful Franglais (http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.colorwarz.com/&ei=RoO7Tsb5FIPk8QPEgoDJBw&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCIQ7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dcolorwarz.com%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DBVQ%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26prmd%3Dimvns).

These guys have big plans for 2012. Keep an eye on them...

Interesting sculpts, I particularly like the chap with the white face. A strange and simple idea, will have to have a butchers at the rules.

I'll be grabbing a set on my next go-round with you!

Im just not sure about this... be interesting to read some reviews once its all out etc                                           

Marvellously executed pieces. I like the concept, and as ever, the wonders of the internuts abound (misspelled on purpose), a few comments began a race argument that this promotes bigotry.  ::)

Obviously every paintball player I know is a raving racist, and they use guns!  :o

Insanity aside, I await the full range.

 :D

I've written up a short review of the kit. it can be found Here (http://blog.pyre-studios.com/2011/12/05/review-color-warz-miniz-series-1/)

I'm hoping that series two (http://www.fluogames.com/en/our-products/miniz/2nd-set) will be out in the new year. It will have the advanced combatants; knocker, ranger and mystic together with the Matriarch.

Neat review - certainly a tempting set!

aye, very tempting indeed.  are they planning to release blisters at some point?  given that the different colour factions have different amount of various warrior figs, blisters would be nice to have to finish up the box set.

Interesting rules! A strange way of selling them given the rules, each colour needs a different mix of player types, so this set would only do if you wanted to play RED.  I love the models though, would be tempted if I wasn't so busy (and didn't have a 4 year painting backlog)

Yeah, it would make sense to have at least the basic combatants as singles. That said, if you get series 1 and 2 you can play any faction by swapping out your one of your doubled combatants with an advanced one.


By my rekoning this set lets you play Green, Orange & Purple [edit: in a 3-4 player game!]. You're right on the disconnect though, it's odd...

I'm hoping they do the black faction. the sketches and fluff for them are awesome.

The INKd faction? hehe... or have I been playing too much deBlob2? lol

I finally sat down and read the rules and they look pretty good. I would be much more interested if the figures were pre-painted seeing as they can only be certain singular colours anyway.
Does anyone have any information about the board or if when the rules are released it will come in a big box set?

Hey folks,

The chaps at FluoGames launched their forum today... it's a bit lonely over here (http://forum.fluogames.com)

@Megatron0: Yeah there will be a boxed game released. The details are here (http://www.fluogames.com/en/our-products/paint-brawl/paint-brawl-content)

i love that! any idea as to when it goes on sale

Well we've finished the English copy edit for the game (http://www.fluogames.com/en/our-products/paint-brawl) and Fabien has a tentative release date set for early April. I'm hoping to have a load of stock available at the Conpulsion convention in Edinburgh running from the 6-8th of April.

In other news the Second Series of MiniZ is released today and they look amazing... I'll provide an update on the availability of single miniz as soon as I can.

Very characterful sculpts, me likes!

HN

I do like these, and will be picking them up at some point this year. :)

The single minis and series 2 box are out now ... link (http://store.pyre-studios.com/Color-Warz)

Nice, was waiting for this to decide if I wanted to jump in. They are sooooo pretty.....

They are pretty but wow what a price tag. I've got too much to paint anyway.

Maybe one day tho...

HN

They're priced at a lower level than Studio McVey or Kingdom death for IMHO the same level of detail, so I'm not so sure that it's an onerous price tag.

I'll probably work out some sort of bundle once the game has been released. A per colour bundle where you get everything the faction can play (8-6 minis)

I'm also thinking of doing a discount on the boxed game for those with mini pre-sales/pre-orders. I'll have to see.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the sculpts. I think they are more characterful than either of KD or SMcV; their both technically brilliant but just don't float my boat.

I'm sure bundles will makes things lighter on the wallet and it wouldn't surprise me if I didn't end up with one at some point, I do like the antler dude and the warrior at the bottom of the singles page.

HN

Well the stars aligned and I managed to get some copies of the game... It's awesome (http://store.pyre-studios.com/Paint-Brawl)!

I love the box art, it will definitely draw the eye on the shelf!

HN

Yup, that looks cool!
