Latest Updates from Our Project:

Shuttle Bay!
over 6 years ago – Sat, Dec 16, 2017 at 11:35:15 PM

Another stretch goal down, this time it's the Devastator and Equipment tokens.

 .

The next SG is the Assassin and Event cards unlocking at £177K!

.

After that we've got SG36, a Live one and a Devastator! Unlocking at ???

.

ADD-ONS

We've unlocked a few more add-ons, Add-on AD is the Assorted Character boards, you already have a FREE sheet of them if you're a core backer :)

 .

And some clips as well, they're always requested.

.

and finally the...

SHUTTLE BAY!

This is actually identical to the Arrivals Bay from our Sci-fi II campaign we've just repurposed it for a single level. It's flaming awesome!

.

Just set up your game as usual but leave one side of the game mat open. Then use the remaining walls in your core set and the Shuttle Bay parts to build the bay. 

The shuttle fits perfectly through the large hangar opening. If you have the mighty Titan pledge you can build all along one end of your set up.

.

With lots of extra cargo crates you can really spread those equipment tokens around.

 .

It also comes with signs so you can add even more immersion to your setups.

The containment set up works really well and we can see so many mission possibilities with this, rescue, capture, break out and so on. We've used the Observation Ports to make a Containment device for trapping Purge in :)

Super Containment Thingy!

 .

And there's 7 cool crates...  handy for that massive pile of equipment tokens :)

A big pile of crates!

If you already own the Arrivals Bay then you're sorted. If not you can grab one here, it's unlocked now and is £20!

Cheers :)

Harvey!
over 6 years ago – Sat, Dec 16, 2017 at 11:34:36 PM

There goes the next stretch goal! I had just enough time to eat my breakfast and jump in the shower (at the same time, of course, busy man!).

Anyway, FREE Harveys all 'round :)

.

Next up, SG34 is the Devastator and Equipment cards at £173K!

.

After that, SG35, a cuddly Assassin to terrify your captains and 5 more Event cards. That means the number of Event cards will have doubled! SG35 unlocks at ???

.

We're edging closer to the Gatherers and Annihilator! Will we make it? (bites nails).

SUPPORT

Your support at this stage (and all through the KS) has been amazing, without you shouting about Core Space on forums and social media we would be just a couple of blokes watching a pledge meter go up very slowly! Let's keep the momentum going in the final 10 hours!

Cheers :)

Gather yourself for Annihilation!!!
over 6 years ago – Sat, Dec 16, 2017 at 07:25:23 AM

The Purge are mighty and relentless. They are accustomed to storming worlds and harvesting what they need with little resistance. Sure they will lose many Harvesters, Devastators, a few Assassins and even the odd Live One, this is perfectly acceptable and they weather the losses with ease.

Enter The Gatherers...

Once the majority of the work is done, the Purge send in the Gatherers to start pulling resources from the fallen, alive and dead. They will finish what the Harvesters started and search out any last survivors for processing. 

PURGE GATHERERS  

The Gatherers collect the spoils of battle, the elements and living and dead matter they require. They come in two forms, 'Mother' and 'Spiders'. The Mother is the central gatherer it can retrieve large objects and break them down or capture living biomass - the hapless victims of the Harvesters. 

 The Spiders are small recon drones that can attack the players but are more of a nuisance than a direct threat. However, the Mother will attack any player that the Spiders target and it is fearsome! As tall as a human and twice as wide with many flaying limbs it will ruthlessly kill anyone it corners.

Even more harvesty than the Harvesters!
Even more harvesty than the Harvesters!

.

Sometimes the Purge find it hard to make ground in their assaults and if things get very tough they will call for their heavy support..

Enter The Annihilators...

Big enough to take on the most hardened targets, but small enough to infiltrate inhabited buildings the Annihilators are mighty. The Purge are naturally tough, even the Harvesters are hard to put down with basic weapons, but the Annihilators are made to be the elite of the assault. With the very best weapons you may hold one back for a short time, but when you hear the whir of their graviton blue cannons you should start to run... preferably to your Shuttle ;)

.

PURGE ANNIHILATOR 

What the Devastator starts the Annihilator finishes! As wide as a corridor the Annihilator has only one job - to annihilate! Sent in to clear rooms with no thought of collateral damage it won't stop until you are dead or it is - most likely you! Don't fight, just run!

How do we get the final mighty Purge?...

We will set out the plan for these new additions to the Purge in the last 12 hours of the Campaign, so grab your crews, arm them with their best equipment and stand your ground... if you can... :)

Until then...

Colin & Wayne :)

Character Generation!
over 6 years ago – Sat, Dec 16, 2017 at 07:25:05 AM

What a busy day! Is this the third stretch goal broken? Anyway SG31, the Events cards are yours :)

.

Stretch goal 32 has been much asked by the modders amongst you, a sheet of blank boards for your own character generation. We're giving away one as a FREE stretch goal, if you want more we'll make it available as an add-on. SG32 unlocks at £161K.

.

Finally, we will reveal later tonight what we've been sneak peeking for the last few updates!

Cheers :)

Wayne and Colin.

Get to the Shuttle!
over 6 years ago – Fri, Dec 15, 2017 at 07:02:26 AM

GET TO THE SHUTTLE!

Your mission completed the station is set to blow! You've been cut off from your retreat so you head to the shuttle dock at the far end! Can you make it before the timer counts down? The hostility level is sky high and the Purge will do everything to stop you!

The Shuttle add-on comes not only with a shuttle but also a new mission log. If you want more than one shuttle there's a discount for multiples:

  • £8.00 for 1 x shuttle + 1 mission log
  • £14.00 for 2 x shuttle + 1 mission log
  • £20.00 for 3 x shuttle + 1 mission log
You asked for it... you got it!
You asked for it... you got it!

SHIP BOARDS

After much shuffling and rearranging we can now announce that every crew will now come with its own ship board!  Not only that but the ship boards have been upgraded to hold equipment :)

Even more options!
