Megalith Games: Godslayer!

Hi, I just received the Godslayer skirmish game made by Megalith Games; "Set in a rich and detailed fantasy universe named Calydorn, GODSLAYER is a fast and tactically challenging tabletop skirmish game played with highly detailed metal miniatures. The game is designed for two or more players and offers a totally new gaming experience with many aspects never before seen. In the world of Calydorn it is common for charismatic or brawny leaders to attract loyal troops, heroic individuals, and terrifying creatures to their cause - be it noble or nefarious. As a skirmish game GODSLAYER allows players to field a group of warriors in combat engagements. These so called warbands represent hunting parties, scouting forces, raiders or simply bands of adventurers, mercenaries, or bandits, etc."

"The game places you in the role of a warlord, allowing you to create your own individual warband based on a versatile system of model and item selection. Great care was taken to ensure that the rules system offers a new level of realistic miniature behavior. A unique system of action and resource management allows fast and logical game-play, while retaining core rules which are simple and memorable, allowing you to learn them rapidly. To keep players continuously challenged, each model has been provided with individual rules that result in a vast multitude of devious and deadly combinations embedded within the system, providing a rich resource for developing new tactics to win upcoming battles. The game includes six factions which can be bought in startersets given you 160 points of brutal and savage force! Each model in GODSLAYER is part of a faction, which constitutes the culture or empire to which it belongs. From the imperial militaristic Mortans to the savage bestial Banebrood; each faction has its own cultural identity and each is opposed to all others to a greater or lesser degree. Each faction has a different style of play required to gain the greatest advantage from its particular benefits. Some factions are stronger with hit-and-run shooting or war-machines and some can call on horrifying monsters, while others excel in close combat tactics or delivering brute force. Nevertheless, all the factions are balanced, and have equal chances to triumph over their enemies. Since you can only use models that belong to the same faction in a warband, you might want to browse through each of the faction's section of this website to get a basic feel for style of them." 

I got my hands on the Trologdyte and Nordgaard startersets, the rule and backgroundbook so stay tuned for some excellent upcoming reviews and in the end some bloody carnage in the form of battle reports!
