They missed the mark by selling gray plastic versions of stuff we already own. I don't underestimate stupidity. Love Bandai, want a tabletop game with Gundams...but don't want a recreation of Warhammer. Sad feeling this will crap out.
Wow, that's great news! I hope with Bandai's massive distribution, this new Gundam strategy game with Warhammer-style miniatures reaches the whole world.

@@harriettubmangaming9792 it's semi tied to a card game which is big in Japan alongside being gunpla kits themselves. And straight tabletop games are extremely popular here in the West along with gunpla so there's really no massive negatives that'd lead it to failure.
So this is why Bandai has been working hard to court Warhammer TH-camrs recently. I'm excited to see the two sides of the miniature/scale model hobby finally meet in one place
Oh, there have been several tabletop games over the years. The Gundam RPG, not the Mekton one already mentioned, was really quite good. And the Gundam Sentinel RPG was more tactical on a hex grid, which was different than the Collection game. Both never made it across the ocean. I’m working on translating them myself, but it’s slow going as it’s something I do when there’s free time.
genuinely so excited for this - ive been looking for to-scale models of gundam for proxying in battletech for forever, but having a game to go with it? hell yes
@gerogyzurkov2259 based on the size of minis mentioned on the website.. they're as big as the assault mechs from CGL. Now we wait for how they're gonna introduce the rules. Hopefully they slap GW with the digital free rules.and a list builder app.
Not gonna lie I'm a bit disappointed they didn't just adapt it to be used with 144 scale model kits and included some cheap entry grade kits in the starter box for those new to the hobby.
I see those collaborations Bandai’s had with Games Workshop have born fruit, interesting to see how the plastics compare against standard Gunpla, Citadel, and CGL’s Battletech minis as these appear to come uncoloured so the formula might be different to better take paint.
I have been waiting for this my entire life! Been a massive Warhammer 40k and Gundam fan since I was a little kid and I always felt Bandai was leaving money on the table by not doing thing for so long.
I wrote a ruleset for mecha combat using 30 Minute Missions called 1800 Second Sorties back when I was locked in the house for 8 weeks in 2020. We still play it
I remembered someone making a video on how he wanted to make this kind of game. He sets out the demo and how to play with in depth rules. Can't remember who but surely he sparked the idea
Honestly cant wait for this, if just for collectors sake this is something ive been waiting for in a miniatures game cause Gundam has been my jam for AGES
I hope we see tanks and aircraft. My game uses HG kits and 10mm infantry and proxies, a D10 system with D6 random activation mechanic and cards to track component HP and ammo. I ran games with infantry, tanks, aircraft, off-map artillery and mobile suits.
I have been waiting decades for this. I remember using the old Gundam Wing action figures from KB Toys to play a table top game we made up...... Please dont suck so i can give you my money.....
For years I have always wondered why Gundam never branched out into a miniature game, the lore and model design I believed would transition over quite well. Now it seems the wait is over and I look forward to see where Bandai takes this.

I hope the rules will be as detailed as Classic Battletech. Those are very complicated and take really long to resolve, but they also allow for super dynamic and detailed battles which would fit perfectly for Gunpla.
step 1: Buy the rule book. step 2: make a _BIGGER_ hex grid mat yourself. Step 3: use HG and RG kits instead. step 4: ??? step 5: PROFIT!!

It's miniatures. If you think people aren't gonna customize their own grunts and stuff you're crazy.
If it's affordable and easy to build, this can be some serious competition to warhammer
If they take some inspiration from Battletech (in terms of pricing and consumer-friendliness) it might just.
Doubt it, it's greedy Bandai
Gunpla is pretty reasonable so I imagine this won't be crazy GW prices
@@PlamoSpecialist no i Agree I left Warhammer because gunpla is much cheaper.
@PlamoSpecialist HGs are 15-20. If these are 7-10 (dnd range) and need around 5 like shown here, it doesn't sound that bad of a deal

Finally cashing in on the Warhammer fandom by making a miniature game? Interested to see how this turns out!
Warhammer and Battletech fandoms will definitely love this.. I'm one of them and I am definitely getting my paints ready for this.
i mean they used to have a miniature game in the form of gundam collection tactics (1/400 scale and the minis were on rectangle bases)
I bet GW and their followers would put rule like "You're not allowed to use Gundam model" or something like that, they kinda touchy about this matter
@@hafirenggayuda What do you mean? That's a perfectly normal Tau unit.
@@AusSP I'm now imagining a gundam base with Tao mech parts spliced in. That'd be quite interesting.
I've been playing a Gundam tabletop for years using Gunpla and GURPS.
Im just hoping this kits don't charge WH40K prices.
i dont think it will, think of it as like gashapon figures
They wont the only reason GW keeps doing that crap is because die-hard "Fans" keep paying them stupid amounts of money
from what I read, those will cost 3000 yen, on a set of 3 figures
They missed the mark by selling gray plastic versions of stuff we already own. I don't underestimate stupidity.
Love Bandai, want a tabletop game with Gundams...but don't want a recreation of Warhammer. Sad feeling this will crap out.

Fancy idea! Gonna upscale the board for HG kits for some more customizing! Or even something Gundam Battlogue and similar shows.
Yes!!! Nice to see Seed stuff. Gimme all the GATs and ZAFT suits! Gonna enjoy painting these.
Looks like my mobile suit minis for BT will work perfectly for this thanks to it using hexes. Praise Blak-I mean Deikun.

While I have no interest in Anime or Mecha I am looking forward to getting some of these for my Battletech collection.
I'll hold my opinion until I see the rules and more importantly the prices.
Starter box RX78-2 und Chars Red Zaku , Paper Hexgrid playmat. Dices 50$ 🤞
Well, I'd be shocked if it's more expensive than Games Workshop's latest minis.
While i agree with the rules part, i dont see this being anywhere near GWs prices
Finally an official Gundam tabletop
There WAS a Mekton Zeta conversion back in the day, but the licensing fell through on the localization
not the first tho there was Gundam Collection Tactics back in early 2000s up to 00 (1/400 scale minis on rectangle bases)
Oh, there have been several tabletop games over the years. The Gundam RPG, not the Mekton one already mentioned, was really quite good. And the Gundam Sentinel RPG was more tactical on a hex grid, which was different than the Collection game. Both never made it across the ocean. I’m working on translating them myself, but it’s slow going as it’s something I do when there’s free time.
Ooh, those are some nice, big figures. Checking the site, and they're little Gunpla!
I wish we could play using the regular model kits but as long as they have the rulesets i think it will be possible 👍🏻
Yes, hex grid game so its gonna be easy to proxy and to play at different scales you can use a bigger board
genuinely so excited for this - ive been looking for to-scale models of gundam for proxying in battletech for forever, but having a game to go with it? hell yes
Time for Gihren's Greed: the Tabletop Game
NEED TO KNOW MORE!!!

Battletech kinda more "tsundere" to Gundam
If there is an option to customize your minis to match your own custom Gunpla, this game will do spectacular numbers.
