On dirait une figurine de la gamme Fantasy Miniature 1. Difficile de mettre une époque (ou un style) avec de tels habits.

Merci pour le partage :slight_smile:

Il y a une photo sur le site web de Blacklist qui présente 4 autres figurines: confirmation aussi que ce sera des figurines PVC à l’échelle 28mm.

A titre perso, tant que je n’aurais pas reçu mon exemplaire d’Altar Quest (prévu fin octobre) et que je n’aurais pas la certitude que la livraison des figurines Fantasy est confirmée pour décembre ou janvier max, je ne mettrais qu’un $ sur le KS, histoire de me décider au PM.

Les 2 figs pour le personnage d’Ellis

Born into nobility, Ellis enjoyed a life of decadence and privilege that ill-prepared him to be cursed by the dark fae spirits known as the Primacy. The light of the full moon turns the once-pampered youth into a beast of pure wrath, much to his foes’ dismay.

Design Diary #3 axé sur les factions…

Design Diary 3

In dire times, alliances are not forged from trust and loyalty, but rather desperation and mutual cause…

Greetings, all. David Thompson and Trevor Benjamin here, designers of Blacklist Games’ upcoming Dire Alliance: Horror, launching on Kickstarter October 27. This article is the third in a series that delves into the gameplay, leaders, and factions in the game.

In the previous article, we provided an overview of the characters the players can choose to lead their factions. In this article, we cover the factions themselves. There are two available in the game’s core pledge.

The Shroud

The Shroud is a cabal of vampires who have banded together to seek out humans to prey upon. They draw their strength from these vessels and must protect them to survive. When a Shroud vampire damages an enemy, they become sated, allowing them roll a special combat dice and unlock their special powers. These powers are lost when they themselves are damaged.

The Empyreal is ghostly vampire who enters into mist form when sated, allowing her to pass through her enemies unharmed.

The Unbroken is a feral vampire, her body deformed and crooked like a ghoul. When sated, she can attack an enemy twice with a single activation.

The Hypnotist, a well-dressed nobleman, can force enemies to move when sated.

The Devoted is a malnourished flagellant, his body covered in scars. He wields a heavy crossbow and can sacrifice one of his cards to sate one of his vampire allies.

The Grievers

The Grievers have mastered the art of animating and controlling corpses. These animated dead - known as the Reclaimed - serve as their army. The Grievers draw their strength from their gravesites.

The Caretaker is responsible for unearthing the Reclaimed from the Griever’s gravesites, as well as protecting these areas from their enemies.

The Butcher is a menacing melee fighter who can help to construct the Reclaimed by harvesting limbs from his enemies.

The Experimenter has mastered the powers of animation. With a single activation, he can resurrect a horde of Reclaimed in his area or control all Reclaimed that he can see.

The Bearer is loyal servant of the Grievers. He wields a crossbow and has limited powers to resurrect and control the Reclaimed.

Faction boards

Each faction board includes all the rules a player will need to use that faction in the game, including a reference of each fighter card belonging to that faction. In addition, each faction board includes a game round summary for easy reference during the game.

Here is a look at the board for The Shroud faction:

EDIT: Et la figurine du jour

The Grievers depend on a steady supply of fresh corpses to assemble their signature creations—zombie-like reanimates called the Reclaimed. The Caretaker takes pride in keeping an efficiently-run cemetery, and knows exactly where the bodies are buried…

Le thème ne me branche pas plus que ça mais les mécaniques m’ont l’air vraiment pas mal.
Avec Nuts Publishing qui repousse sans cesse la sortie d’Inflexibles Normandie en VF, je vais finir par me reporter sur celui-là :slight_smile:

Dernière figurine à être révélé

As the last member of the Reinhurst bloodline, Vanessa is a ruthless hunter of dark spirits and witchcraft. She uses her whip to lash out at her foes from a distance while fighting alongside fellow heroes in Dire Alliance: Horror’s cooperative Raid Mode!

Nouvelle figurine dévoilée

Parmi les rangs du linceul vampirique, l’ininterrompu est le plus sauvage et le plus malin. Alors que de nombreux vampires préfèrent infiltrer les cercles nobles, le sauvage ininterrompu utilise des moyens beaucoup moins subtils pour se nourrir.

Design Diary 4 axé sur le mode raid…

Résumé

In dire times, alliances are not forged from trust and loyalty, but rather desperation and mutual cause…

Hey, horror fans! Brady Sadler here, VP of Product Development at Blacklist Games. Today I’m excited to share with you some details about Raid Mode in Dire Alliance , where you and your friends can team up to fight an automated villain and the devious faction they’re leading!

When Adam and I teamed up with David & Trevor, we knew they were bringing to the table the head-to-head competitive elegance that we loved about War Chest and their Undaunted series. What could we bring to the design? Well, we felt we had some decent experience creating solo and cooperative game systems, so why not create our own (not-so-dire) alliance of competitive and co-op play?

What is Raid Mode?

As you’ve probably read in previous design diaries by David and Trevor, Dire Alliance is a game of tactical deckbuilding and strategic positioning. In the default Battle Mode, you need to outwit your opponent to prevail in the chosen scenario.

Using the same basic game elements, Raid Mode gives you a whole new thematic experience, letting you play solo and cooperatively with your friends. Additionally, Raid Mode introduces the concept of Heroes and Hero Classes, which I’ll discuss further below.

First, let us examine our adversaries…

Villains & Minions

While in Battle Mode players take on the roles of wicked leaders pitting their nefarious legions against each other, Raid Mode turns those leaders into Villains for the players to take on together. In each game of Raid Mode, players choose one of the available villain decks to go up against.

Then, they choose a faction for that Villain to lead and take that faction’s board.

Faction boards are double-sided, with one side used for Battle Mode (as seen in the last diary entry) and the other side for Raid Mode. The Raid Mode side of the faction board provides a reference for each minion in that faction, as well any special rules available to that faction.

What are minions, you ask?

Each faction fighter from Battle Mode becomes a minion in Raid Mode. Each faction has at least four types of minions, with five minions of each type. Minions are color-coded and are activated by the Villain’s deck.

But who will be courageous enough to face these fiends in battle?

Heroes & Classes

In Raid Mode, players take on the roles of heroes, which are similar to leaders in Battle Mode. Each hero has a special ability with a reference card and five hero cards for your hero deck. Each player will choose a single hero to play as in Raid Mode.

After you’ve selected a hero, you will customize them by selecting a class board. Hero class boards function similarly to faction boards, providing unique special rules for that hero class and a reference for each of the hero class’s four abilities. Each hero class ability has a set of five cards that can be added to a hero’s deck.

At the start of the game, each player will have a starting deck of two of their hero’s signature cards, as well as two copies of each of their hero class abilities. Each time a hero defeats a minion they may gain a new card for their deck, which is crucial because each time a hero suffers damage they will lose a specific card from their deck—if a hero can’t discard the required card they are immediately defeated and the players lose!

Scenarios & More

Similar to Battle Mode, players have access to a lot of customization when playing their Raid Mode games. In addition to mixing and matching heroes with different hero classes, they can also mix villain and faction combinations, creating a variety of unique play experiences.

Additionally, each Dire Alliance game board introduces two Raid Mode scenarios that will change up how the game is played even more. As if that weren’t enough options, additional optional rules will be introduced to the game line to allow players an even greater level of customization and replayability!

Alright, that’s all for now! In the next article, we’ll take a closer look at scenarios!

Du coup la page laisse entendre que les 2 (figurines et jeu) sont lancés en meme temps sur la meme campagne

Vous pensez qu’on sera obliger de prendre le jeu avec les figurines ou qu’on risque de se retrouver avec une partie des figurines exclusives au jeu ou à la boite de figurines?

Oui, les 2 (Dire Alliance Horror et Horror Series 1) seront lancés en 1 même campagne. Les figurines ne seront pas obligatoires, les persos sont représentés par des tokens pour ceux qui ne prennent pas la gamme optionnelle de figs.

C’est dommage qu’il y ait tant de texte sur les cartes.
