Flytrap's New OUTPOST Campaign Now Live on Kickstarter
Body
The latest Kickstarter from Flytrap is now alive and kicking.
Entitled OUTPOST, this new campaign offers a swathe of new sci-fi miniatures. Sculpted by Flytrap creator and owner Anton Ducrot, these models are dripping with character and detail. They include infantry and a vehicle as featured in Flytrap's homegrown OUTPOST narrative; these include infantry and a vehicle from both sides of the OUTPOST setting: CLUTCH (Critical Locator Unit Tactical Containment and Haulback) and their opposition, the Necrobog*.
Designed for rapid-response planetfall insertions, CLUTCH units are elites sent in where 'failure is expected and survival is unlikely'. Deployed in four to six man teams, a CLUTCH unit is 'dropped fast, low and hard,' before 'establishing dropzone control, restoring operational sector integrity or [...] pulling the plug.'
The Necrobog, meanwhile, are described as 'the disastrous legacy of a failed military experiment [...] to fuse fallen soldiers with cybernetics in a bid to create reanimated super-soldiers.' These 'grotesque constructs' come in two varieties: Necrotic Synths and Necrotroopers. The former are described as 'Massive, mangled amalgamations of flesh, steel, and rage,' that are 'nearly indestructible and immune to reason.' Necrotroopers, meanwhile, are a 'rogue faction' with unknown objectives' which poses a 'growing and constant threat.'
This campaign features not only 15 CLUTCH miniatures and 13 Necrobog, but also a 'rules-lite, example heavy [...] tactical-narrative' system known as 'Sandbox'. This system is driven by a set of bespoke tools, templates and dice, the STLs for which as also included in this campaign.
See the Kickstarter campaign for more details.
*On a personal note, I’ve been fortunate enough to know Anton and his lovely wife for more than a few years, and they’re both great people…
…But, as someone who writes fiction and background materials for games, I am furious that Anton thought of the name ‘The Necrobog’ and I didn’t…
