Spiral Arm Studio: Maelstrom's Edge's Hard-Plastic Science Fiction Miniatures Previewed at Salute


Preview on Salute was this new science fiction wargame named Maelstrom's Edge currently getting funded through Kickstarter. 

The guys behind this new science fiction game are from DakkaDakka forum and looking to create units of hard-plastic miniatures! I have taken some pictures of the sprues and assembled miniatures which were being previewed but first some information about the actual game.

Maelstrom's Edge is a far future science fiction setting where a golden age of exploration and innovation has been ripped apart and humanity is on the very edge of annihilation. The Maelstrom, a gigantic apocalyptic explosion of dark energy, is rapidly expanding out from the heart of the galaxy, destroying everything it touches. As worlds and stars are obliterated from existence, those who have the means flee towards deep space, while those left behind fight for the chance to escape. 

This Kickstarter will allow us to raise the funds to finish and optimise the first Maelstrom's Edge boxed set: Battle for Zycanthus. Our team of game designers, writers and artists have been working hard for the past three years to develop a universe, range of models and ruleset of the highest quality, and we are extremely close to accomplishing our goal.

In the Battle for Zycanthus boxed set, we'll provide everything you need to play the Maelstrom's Edge tabletop game, in which physical plastic models are moved around a table to simulate a battle. As well as the rules, dice, templates and tokens required for playing our innovative new ruleset, backers will receive two armies in detailed, multipart HIPS plastic for the Karist Enclave and Epirian Foundation factions. The models are provided as plastic sprues and you get to assemble and paint them, customising your forces to your own preferences and battle plans.
