November 8, 2016: Ogre Miniatures Set 1 Rolls Onto Kickstarter

The ground shakes. There's a distant rumble, like thunder cresting the hill . . . except this is not natural. It's a deadly, AI-controlled tank – an Ogre. And now it's coming to Kickstarter, in miniature form!

Hot on the heels of our recent Ogre Sixth Edition announcements, Steve Jackson Games is proud to present the Ogre Miniatures Set 1 Kickstarter! This long-awaited collection includes all the units from Ogre Sixth Edition rendered in three of our glorious dimensions. We've taken the classic line of miniatures that veteran players loved, improved them, and rendered them in plastic. As is, these highly detailed sculpts will make your Ogre game stand out on the tabletop, but they also make a great canvas to show off your mini-painting skills.

Included with the set are more than 30 miniatures representing Infantry, Heavy Tanks, Missile Tanks, GEVs, Howitzers, and a Command Post in Paneuropean blue, and the infamous Ogre Mark III and Mark V in Combine red. You'll get enough miniatures to play a full game of Ogre Sixth Edition, for only $30. The models come unassembled on the sprue, perfect for hobbyists, but still simple to put together for anyone who wants to deck out their tabletop experience. If you're the kind of commander who wants it all, we have various add-ons, like a copy of Ogre Sixth Edition, the upcoming expansion Ogre Reinforcements, different dice, and even posters. And you know we're going to have lots of stretch goals! Alternate colors, more miniatures in the box, and even rules to play the miniatures on their own are just some of the things you can unlock throughout the campaign.

The campaign runs until November 30. Of course, Ogre Miniatures Set 1 will be coming to your friendly local retailer if it funds, but stores can also back at our Retailer Pledge Level at a special price! So whether you're a fan or a store owner, there's no reason to miss out on this Kickstarter campaign. Unless you're actually an AI-controlled super tank reading this. But that's just crazy . . .
