Warhammer 40k is a tabletop game, which is pretty widely known. If that helps

I wish we had a shop like this here...I'd love to play with my blocks again.

You get bonuses to armor or something for cover?
The only thing in this shot is the lack of color variety. It looks like the walls and structures are very close to the Frame colors. So there are no dynamic contrasts or anything to give the scene more depth.
Can you play with a bum rush tactic?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Something like that.
Yeah I haven't been working on a lot of terrain yet.

Oh, so that's what all the minis are for
I love me some Battletech (and heroclix, mechwarrior, 40k, or anything else that tabletop geeks will play with me).

Yeah, Mobilr Frame Zero is ridiculously fun.

I still don't get how you get the rules if not by baking the project at Kickstarter. Is there another way?
Nice photo and nice scenario btw!

The rulebook is still in editing. It should be available by the end of July!

Ah, I see you're a big fan of the Giant Icosahedron of Doom too. That's a pretty good solution for the Doomsday Counter. (I use mine for contested rolls and startling players. It does start to take a toll on tables, though.)

It does take a toll on tables after awhile. But it does make a wonderful Doomsday Clock for MFZ!

The 30mm dice I bought for a friend got field-tested in a game of House Tekk at AnCon...being readable at 2m away is surprisingly useful.

sweet! just think with this you could be able to create a Lego Gundom Game

Nope, they're members of the Serpent Legion, which is a faction of the UMFL.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That doesn't really tell me much, but ok
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They're part of a faction set in the Mobile Frame Zero universe.

Ok, then I got it. Looked really like the Tau mecha suits from Warhammer 40k is all
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Absolutely. The Tan guys are heavily influenced by Heavy Gear but with the scale and the way the lego looks, they definitely have a similar vibe to the tau.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was quite into 40K as a teenager. Started of with the Tyranids, but quickly moved on to the Tau.
Never played it though, I was only in it for the assembly, painting and backstories of the different characters and races
Painted some pretty sick pieces in my days actually. Wish I still had some to take pictures of

I played 40k a little, but I never got the models (me and my friends were "broke college students") so we played with proxys. Warhammer is just too friggin expensive. One of the reasons I love Mobile Frame Zero so much
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It IS expensive. I can understand the appeal of MFZ. Is there any restrictions on what kind of 'frames' you can make? Like you follow a framework or something, or is it all up to the maker?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can make pretty much anything you want, they dont even have to be mechs! You can do vehicles, infantry, helicopters, etc. The stats are not based on the specific frame build so your really have free reign to completely customize your company.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What about size? Are there any size restrictions. Or could one make something in the likes of [link] 
Daaaaw, this makes me wish I still had my brother's Lego collection still laying around.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There isn't anything stopping you from building something that large, but It wont have any advantage over something 7 bricks tall. In fact, it'll probably be worse since it'll be in range of almost everything on the table because of it's footprint.
Generally you want to keep your frames in the 6-9 brick tall range.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok, that sounds pretty cool actually
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, eight of these ([link] ) connected together to form a ruler.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Allright, got it. Thanks for all the info
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Has this game been documented? I'd love to see a report (and more images)!
Looking good there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not entirely. I'm not going to spam a bunch of in-game shots over here but I have more on my Flickr Stream .
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was expecting a Flickr Stream or MOCpages something to be honest XD
Are you going to review a game in the future?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Most definitely. I'll probably be doing one in the near future.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Now i want to play that... must be hyper cool to have and control your own units across a real 3D touchable battlefields...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Absolutely! It's a really fun game!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wish i can play it... anyway, do you have any links for the rules? i'm curious about it..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The Rulebook is in editing and should be available in July, but there are previews on the forums at mobileframehanger.com.
