Home >>> Initial Announcement Q&A


 














 


   
So based on our initial announcement of our new miniature game launching we encountered a number of things I guess we didn't really think of so we will address them here.  We will update this section as we get inquiries that may not be answered through out the Rusted Heroes site.  You can emails us any questions at:  info@RustedHeroes.com

Q&A MAY 2008:

Q - What are the miniatures made of, metal or plastic?
A - All miniatures will be cast in white metal, completely lead free.  We may be doing larger resin models down the road but that's a ways off.

Q - Are these pre-painted?
A - No these are not pre-painted and some assembly is required per miniature.

Q - What scale are the Rusted Heroes miniatures?
A - Most fantasy miniatures are scaled at or around 32mm to 35mm.  However our industry has no standard scale and one persons 32mm is another's 35mm.  We chose 32mm so our miniatures would fit in with other miniature lines that are currently on the market such as WarMachine, Dark Heaven, Confrontation, etc...  To view a scale comparison with Rusted Heroes versus the above mentioned miniature lines.  CLICK HERE

Q - Why is a Rusted Heroes Starter War Band Box Set $49.99?
A - We currently do not have the final cost on everything for each box set since were still in the sculpting stages on several models.  So the way we came up with the $49.99 price point for a starter set was a rough estimate of our current production costs.  So there is a good chance that the current $49.99 retail price for our starter War Band will either stay the same or it will come down in price once we have all of our costs from the casting foundry.  But it won't go any higher.

Q - Why is a Rusted Heroes Blister $9.99?
A - We decided to go with a flat $9.99 per blister to keep all the blister pricing the same.  So what that means is some miniatures will cost us more and some will cost less but they'll all be $9.99 for a 32mm human sized miniature.  Each blister will also contain their character card with the characters stats and abilities.

Q - Will there be a campaign system?
A - We definitely want to incorporate a campaign systems which follows each faction depending on the one you are playing.  There will be a timeline of specific events and battles that take place for players to play out.  This is still in the works and we want to make sure it's the best we can make it.

Q - Will the Rusted Heroes characters advance as they win battles?
A - We are still ironing out some of the rules but this is definitely on our list of things to look at and include in the games system if possible.

Q - Can Rusted Heroes be played in a non-campaign setting?
A - Absolutely, Rusted Heroes is a fast paced combat system with abilities and weapons thrown in to add specific flavor per faction.  If you and a friend want to just duke it out you can with no problems with the Rusted Heroes Rules.

Q - Do all characters on the battle field have the same skill level with their weapons?
A - No, there are various factors that will change attacking and defending target numbers.  Some of these would be the rank of the character, Foot Soldier, Knight, Duke, or Lord will have different skills and abilities to modify this.  Also terrain, weapon type, etc... will affect this.

Q - Will the quick start rules be free online?
A - They will only be available in the starter War Band box sets.  We will offer the starter rules online for free once we've released the Rusted Heroes rule book.
