Et hop ! On réactive… Quoi donc me direz-vous? Et bien, pas le Confrontation de Sans-Détour bien sûr mais Confrontation tout court. Car oui, depuis la disparition de Sans-Détour et par la même occasion de Stellar Licencing qui possédait les droits, ça a été repris depuis par les américains de Temple of the West qui bossent sur de nouvelles figurines et de nouvelles règles depuis quelques temps sous l’appellation de Confrontation Continuum. Aujourd’hui, ils lancent non pas un Kickstarter (ce serait malvenu) mais un KyleStarter (une préco quoi !)…
ANNOUNCEMENT! Launching Friday May 6th!
We are very excited to launch this new range of miniatures for Confrontation Continuum and 3.5. What began as a partnership with the amazing Gary Chalk has grown into a partnership with many artists, sculptors, and producers around the world.
On May 6th we will launch the very tip of the iceberg. To make this a special launch we commissioned Gary Chalk to color render some of his old art from his Rackham days. From that we created a limited print art series for collectors and lovers of his art. The art is limited to 400 numbered copies, with the first 150 being signed by Gary. We then created miniatures from these concepts for use in Continuum and 3.5.
What is a KyleStarter? Kyle is the driving force behind Temple of the West and he started this whole thing. So, we thought it would be fun to call this a Kyle Starter. As we were not going to launch with KickStarter given the recent history of the game and Kickstarter. We wanted to build trust with the community. KyleStarter is a Pre-Order.
Why a Pre-Order? Pre-Orders help small companies such as us gauge the interest in the product before we place an order from the factory. We currently already have all of the molds finished for this project and are only waiting on orders from YOU to start filling those molds with molten pewter. All of the KyleStarter will be for sale in the webstore (Unless the ART sells out!) after delivery of product and all Pre-Orders are fulfilled. So, fear not. You can still order everything after the KyleStarter is over. We are offering a discount to people to participate early as a « Thank YOU » for helping us jump start this line. We plan to have continual releases of new miniatures after the initial release is finished. We have a lot already finished and several VERY exciting things currently being sculpted.
Where do we place our Pre-Order? at www.TempleWest.co
What is Continuum? Continuum is not a revamp of 3.5. It is an entirely new system with a few similarities. It is a skirmish game using between 10 and 15 miniatures that are controlled by a central commander. It is very fast paced and characterized as quick to learn with lots of depth. We plan to have an entire intro video to Continuum in the coming months, complete with a play through. We plan to release a Beta version of the rules later this year. It’s a LOT of work to write/playtest/layout/design/illustrate/photograph a quality set of rules. So, we are working as quickly as we can on this. But, we also have day jobs and families, so bear with us.
So why 3.5 cards too? We love 3.5. We know so much of the community still loves 3.5 and play other versions using 3.5 cards. We wanted to include a card for 3.5 so you can continue playing that version too with the new units and miniatures that will begin to be released through Temple of the West.
With this said, we are excited about all of this and the future of this range of miniatures. We can only continue to build on this future with your support. So please share this from the mountain tops!
Thanks so much!
