Genius. Nearly as good as the 'Cybershadows'


Agreed. Brilliant name considering.

Surely you've gotta call them the Valerans? ;)

Joking aside, Skinners is an awesome name.

If the little ones are gobblers then should the big ones be grunters?

Like the idea of human trooper slang names like bugs from starship troopers.

Might need an official "species" name too. Skinzarians ? ;D

Having coerced Iain into letting us have Cybershadows, I rather think I'm going to have to accept "Skinners", as an informal slang name at least...

Army champions needed...
download/file.php?id=6806

Any volunteers?
There's room to add extra unit types to each army IMO - the current lists represent the baseline to build from, not the end point.

Would love to but can't guarantee the time. Will try to play-test though.

I think we could do "counts-as" lists for download from the website, yep. Initially only the core 3 armies will be in the printed rulebook (and yes we could add extra unit types and sculpt / release them later).

It would only be fair. I think Skinnerz is an excellent name for the aliens. It really should have a z not an s on the end though, sounds more informal, tribal and better.

I really do not care which way it goes, but would not 'Skinz' sound more reasonable? Not a native speaker though, so I am just curious.

Hum, I am maybe alone in this, but "skinnerz" is rather evocative of more sadistic tendency aliens to me. In Grandma Wendy Lands, that would sound like Dark eldars, or possibly chaos cults. The name in itself is good, and obviously funny for those "in the know", but I'd reserve it for another faction.

It would at least sound strange to many potential customers, as ape-like muscular alien are more traditionally associated with brutish but somewhat joyful warmongering, rather than such sadistic occupations such as skining.

"Reavers" is a bit too evocative of Mantic's "Marauders" (for my taste).

Gruntz do sound great ! That's my vote :)

Watch out or Chapter House Studios will release them before you get to it! ;)

(J/K for those familiar with the details of that court case :))
