Curis says: I'm thrilled to be involved part of this, as part of Golem Painting Studio.

“Look at him go! He dodges past one, slides round another and he’s in the zone! Strike! 3 points! And that, Jim, is Partenza’s victory dance.”

“No time for that, Jake. The ball’s out again! 200 miles an hour and it’s just a silver streak! It’s Riggit now, for the Manglers."

“Dying seconds, Jim. He needs 4-points to win.”

“It’s going to be close!”

We're starting the Kickstarter off with the first two teams available, as well as 2 MVPs and team paint sets - but this is only the start!

The Kickstarter!

I love it! From what I've seen previously it looks like there's green skinned aliens and either a cybernetic or human team in the base game but in the above pics there appears to be some space rats too. Is this correct?

Is this part of the Pandora/Warpath universe or something else?

It's part of the Warpath universe.

The starter box has rules for all four starting races, and the miniatures for Humans (Trontek 29ers) and Orx (Greenmoon Smackers). The other two races (Space Dwarfs and Space Rates) are available as extra boxed sets.

how big are the forgefathers? they look the size of rat ogres in that pic.

They're the same size as Warpath models, or your standard 28mm dwarf. Those discs they're on are designed to plug into a larger 25mm base.

Here's a half-painted one on top of a Diet Coke lid.

I like the aesthetic of the human team.

Better painting than normal from Golem (not that they're not capable, it just seems Mantic don't pay for good painting on R&F troops normally).

Thanks Ben! It felt fantastic to get commissioned to paint the models to an even higher standard than normal.
