And zombies!!!
Tragically, my computer at work doesn't have speakers, so I have to wait until I get home to check out this video. On the other hand, now we can pick Simon out of a lineup.
So it will be 20mm. That’s a bit of a shock. The only problem I see with it is you have to produce terrain specially for it. But been able to design your own vehicles is very intriguing.
And here I thought there wasn't any new games on the horizon that interested me.
20mm sounds like a tough one. We'll see how that does.
I have to say though, I really, really want to see the models at the end of this list:

Looks like a brawler which I had no idea was near completion and the Pistol Fencer for Vatacina which I know is going to make a lot of people happy when that finally comes out.
Also, I don't know why the website hasn't been updated with the new Purifier model. I've already gotten one into my store so I know it's out!

I like the idea of doing 20mm. Vehicles in 28mm can be pricey. Simon's interviewer mentioned Hot Wheels...reminds me of Dark Future (I'm dating myself).
I think it looks good.

It actually sounded like Warlands is going to focus on vehicle combat more than infantry, so 20mm sounds like a great idea. Can't wait to find out more about it!
I have to say I'm a little worried about the idea of fully customizable vehicles and stuff. I find Rez to be a very balanced game and a lot of fun to play, but my recent experience with the campaign rules was less than thrilling. We had at least one player completely break the game after only about 3 games worth of upgrades and having not really having done anything special. The campaign died pretty quickly after that.
Balancing static models is a lot easier than dealing with people figuring out optomized builds from a list of options. Almost invariably you end up with a handful of useful options and a huge number of pointless options. I really hope this one sees a lot of playtesting. I've actually always wanted to play a "Car Wars" styled game that was fun and didn't take fifteen minutes to resolve a single shot in a "1 second round".

You said that You'll be doing the warlands models as resin casts. Will you be transitioning the future Rezolution models to resin as well?

Sherman, I'll lay this concern to rest... "fully customizable vehicles" is not referring to stats but rather to the models themselves.
It is intended that there will be a "base vehicle" such as the Buggy and what players want to do with it to "decorate and personalize" it is up to them but it will not necessarily effect game play.
