Modiphius Entertainment announced a new miniatures wargame available for pre-order in July. XCOM: The Miniatures Game will bring the fight for Earth to the tabletop:
XCOM: The Miniatures Game is a solo and co-op adventure wargame that will go on pre-order in July. The release will be supported by a wide range of multi-part high-quality resin collectors' miniatures by the same team who brought you the highly acclaimed Fallout, Elder Scrolls and Mass Effect miniatures lines. The range will start landing in retail stores from Fall/Winter this year.
The pre-order will include the Core Rulebook, which is based on the best-selling Five Parsecs From Home adventure wargame rules. You will follow an elite team of XCOM operatives as they fight across different missions to build XCOM and defeat the alien threat.
The 180-page core rulebook is packed with new colour art. It includes rules for creating your squad, generating XCOM missions as the war progresses, a complete encounter and combat system, building and expanding the XCOM headquarters, researching new technologies, creating and collecting terrain, plus a player-versus-player mode for those who want to play the aliens for once!
New aliens will start to appear each month during the war, and players can purchase encounter sets that match the months to grow their game collection as they go. The rules will also incorporate content inspired by the video game’s popular expansions, including advanced tech upgrades, MEC Troopers, and the treacherous EXALT faction.
XCOM recruits can preorder a range of accessories, deluxe acrylic tokens, reference cards, an official dice set, and the first wave of releases altogether, or just grab the book to check it out. All pre-orders of the printed rulebook will receive the PDF immediately, so you can start reading and playing with any other miniatures you have to hand.
The pre-order miniatures wave includes a six-member XCOM Operatives squad, Sectoids, Sectoid Commanders, Thin Men, Outsiders, Floaters, Chryssalids, and Seekers. A set of Infection Pods will also be available to theme your modern-day scenery immediately with an iconic XCOM Enemy Unknown terrain piece.
Later releases will include S.H.I.V.’s (and their variants), XCOM Veteran Operatives in popular armours, Mutons (including Berserkers and Elites), Cyberdiscs, Drones, Mechtoids, MEC Troopers, Heavy Floaters, Ethereals, Sectopods, and the EXALT.
