OT but not too much ( at least we are too miniatures' fans )
"Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster" is one of the last projects on kickstarter about boardgames ( ).
By CoolMiniOrNot ( like zombicide e like zombicide it will be a great success ) and Studio McVey ( www.studiomcvey.com/ ).
Bios - Who are you guys?

I have always liked new Studio McVey's miniatures but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to buy some. Especially one that I prefer ( because immediately sold out ): Lt. kara Black ( ok, imho she reminds a bit "battlestar galactica" )
Now Kara returns in "Battle for Alabaster"
Not one, but two versions.
Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster
Sedition Wars : Battle for Alabaster is a fast paced tactical miniatures game for two players, developed by Studio McVey and published by CoolMiniOrNot.
Survival horror at its finest, game play is fast and bloody – creating urgency and claustrophobic terror, as the Vanguard fight for their very lives against an unrelenting nightmare.
Battle for Alabaster is the first part in the Sedition Wars game experience. Future expansions will introduce exciting new factions, evocative settings and expand on the compelling storyline that guides the action. Once players have fought for control of Alabaster, they will want to continue the adventure in future episodes.
From the mind of industry legend Mike McVey, and created by the finest artists, miniatures sculptors and game designers, the contents and play materials of the game are of the highest quality.. Sedition Wars : Battle for Alabaster represents the best that miniatures gaming has to offer!
The game contains –
- 50 highly detailed 28mm miniatures
- 50 Scenic miniature bases
- 5 double sided full colour expandable game boards
- 60 page rules and scenario book
- Vanguard and Strain stat cards
- 100+ full colour game counters
Check out the detail of these great models!

In my opinion the more interesting pledge is "Pledge $100 or more
" ( 125 U.S. $ for me ). "Biohazard".
A copy of the boxed game, a print signed by Mike McVey, a special edition Kara in resin and a sexy Vanguard patch plus every stretch goals.
Now two ( but I know there will be many other )
1- "every game will be upgraded with alternate sculpts of the troopers with alt female poses (with and without helmets on). This should give more variety to the poor hapless grunts that are about to be turned into nano-virus feed...."
2- Each Biohazard level and above pledge gets an additional squad of 12 vanguard troopers thrown in for free! Time to contain that infection!
Note, actual mix of troopers may vary from the shot below, but you'll get 12 with a lot of variety!
( NB: This is for 60,000 $ and now it is about 58,000 but there are still 33 days ... and zombicide ended at $781,597 )
