There is a picture of a sprue frame (runner to use the Gunpla parlance) of plane grey in some of the promotional images so I think they come as a single colour plastic intended to be painted.
Yeah I'm glad they are not painted. It could possibly add to the cost too. But would be good for beginners. They are going to be sold in sets of three. Four sets to start. Each set has a cost of $40-ish. About $10per figure. Average of other plastic skirmish games: MCP about $20 per figure. Star War Shatterpoint about $13 per figure. Malifaux… is all over the place. Roughly $15 Something that’s important is also the cost of rules. Is it going to be like GW where you need to invest in a bunch of books to play the game on top of mini cost, or FREE rules like Infinity and others.
No way a new game could support the GW rules model from scratch. It took decades of tomfoolery for GW to be able to charge the way they do. I'm guessing that a box set will contain the rules for the core game and probably any minis included and new minis will have rules with them or they release new rules as they release new waves of minis.
The images of mechas and ships that are not to scale, all on spatial grids speaks to me : Spoiler: + I've seen this before in some Japanese strategy games like free game Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius, which mix mechs and ships on grids : Spoiler: + https://store.steampowered.com/app/313730/Sunrider_Mask_of_Arcadius/ From what I usually see in my algo recommendations, in pc games the Japanese seem to be more into this style of wargames than the Western wargames we know, in west mech games for example, Ash from GMG has done with Gamma Wolf, which takes place with mechas and a normal table with scenery, there's Battletech which is pretty close of Gundam, but it's very old-fashioned design. If it's Sunrider, their "wargame" will look more like the kind of board game we've come to know from Fleet Commander by example than Battletech in space.
