Of all the Kickstarters that I’ve backed, I think I would have to say that I am looking forward to Relic Knights (RK) the most. I have been a big fan of miniatures wargames, and although I do not get to get as many games as I would like to, the main draw of the hobby is really the painting. Painting miniatures is a source of relaxation for me, and I do enjoy fielding nicely painted armies on the battlefield.
Relic Knights harks back to the old school anime styled action battles, where fists fly, characters crash through the battlefield, and people with huge-ass guns and weapons do battle with one another. As you can see from the pictures below, the models are characterful and gorgeous looking. I have no doubt that Soda Pop Minis will produce a gorgeous product, based on the beauty that Super Dungeon Explore was.
Pretty toyssss

Instead of a dice mechanic, RK has opted to use a card based resolution system based on their own resource – the Esper. Think of Espers as a fuel for the the various powers and abilities that the characters possess. Playing a combination of them as the cost of the power then activates the power. Seems fairly simple. I’ve backed enough for 2 factions and a couple of unit boosters, so that should give me a very decent sized army to play with my gaming group for a while. I have also gotten a good number of Kickstarter stretch goals with the deal, so it is a pretty insane set of minis that are coming my way.
In the last couple of weeks, I have received various emails from Soda Pop Minis showing previews of the various boxed sets. I am assuming that they are almost ready to ship these out to us. Definitely looking forward to it!
While the Kickstarter has ended for some time now, do check out the link and learn more about it.
