An era of total war has begun. Civilisation has collapsed. Mighty megacities are locked in conflict. The terrifying powers of the Necrocosm have invaded, and seek to enslave all humanity using their awesome mystic powers. The end of the world is nigh.
Apokalypse opens a new chapter in the history of Waste World. In Apokalypse, Manticore Productions’ forthcoming mass combat wargame, players take on the role of a military ruler in Waste World. They must build their armies, fight and trade with their neighbours, and use all the tools of assassination and treachery at their disposal.
With Apokalypse we have created a radical and innovative game. After 3 years and thousands of man-hours of play testing, Apokalypse promises to dramatically alter the way you will look at miniatures gaming.
Unlike other miniatures games, Apokalypse battles are not isolated events. The campaign system provides simple and effective mechanisms for linking battles together into an ongoing tale of victory, treachery and war. Armies gain from their experience in the field. Players use the loot collected from their battles to build their empires and improve the realms they rule. The open game engine allows players to customise units within their armies and design their own armies.
The team working on the Apokalypse project includes:
Bob Naismith, who has sculpted a superb range of figures for the launch, and will be adding to this continuously.
Paolo Parente (of Warzone and Savage Sword of Conan fame), who is designing the logo and producing internal color art for the rulebook. We will also be releasing a number of miniatures based on Paulo’s work as part of the ‘Paolo Parente Range’.
Armorcast are producing, under license, gigantic resin vehicles and a series of resin terrain types.
Geo-Hex will be producing the official Apokalypse desert mats, plus other terrain.
Last but not least, Bill King (of Warhammer and Warzone fame), has been hard at work completing the rules and honing the Campaign System which adds a depth, consistency and realism that has never before been seen in this scale of wargame.
