Project Pandora

Every table top game tends to have it's two player battle box or as some people refer to them, the Demo Box. These work great for people to either demo the game quickly, to present an hour or two of fun on a Sunday afternoon with the pals, or a way to quickly grab and start to armies for buddies looking into getting a game. The new game Warpath that has been put out by Mantic Games is no different.

Let's take a look at the game itself. It is called Project Pandora and takes place on a starship. The game has not come out yet, so you may ask well how do we know this? Well the game comes with a starship tile set for you to play upon. It also comes with 10 plastic Corporation Units and 10 8th Race Scavengers. We know that the 8th race has been announced as being Space Rats.

Now let's talk about the possible plus sides and possible downsides to this game... I've done a video on my youtube account about the Forge Father models after I bought their $125 starter set. I'll post that link in another post, most likely I'll one day take another video and post some painted pictures once I have time to stop stressing over my personal life... But this is what I see being the Pros and Cons.

Pros-
If you like buckets of dice Warpath is the game for you.
They have beautiful figures.
They are cheaply priced.
They are easy to assemble and can be assembled under a single night.

Cons-
The figures are not very pose able and with a large scale army you easily find yourself with multiple figures that look identical.
They're much more difficult to paint assembled which leads to those that have plans of painting needing to not place them together from the get go or dealing with it afterwards.

These Pros and Cons are based only off of seeing the Forge Fathers that I purchased and I have no doubt that the figures and the pictures we've seen on the Corporation may be much better than the Forge Fathers.
