Wargames Atlantic Partners with Green Ronin Publishing for The Expanse!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OFFICIAL EXPANSE MINIATURES CROWDFUNDING NEXT WEEK

Green Ronin Publishing and Wargames Atlantic Partner for Ship and Crew Minis

 

September 12, 2024—SEATTLE, WA: Green Ronin Publishing announced today that it will be releasing official miniatures for the Expanse RPG, based on the novel series by James S.A. Corey. The miniatures are part of the crowdfunding campaign for the Expanse RPG: Transport Union Edition, which launches September 17 on BackerKit. Green Ronin has partnered with Wargames Atlantic—an experienced manufacturer of sci-fi, fantasy, and historical miniatures—to sculpt and produce the miniatures.

“I’ve been gaming with miniatures for over 40 years, so I’m delighted to be working with Wargames Atlantic to make the first miniatures for the Expanse,” said Green Ronin President Chris Pramas. “This is a move I’ve wanted Green Ronin to make for many years and we couldn’t have picked a better partner.”

The crowdfunder will offer two boxed sets of hard plastic miniatures, Spaceship Crew and Ships of the Expanse. The crew miniatures are 28mm and the box comes with many parts so you can customize the characters as you like. The spaceship miniatures are 1/1000 scale, and this set concentrates on ships most useful for RPG campaigns. Ships like the Rocinante! The miniatures can also be used in a wide variety of wargames.

“The Expanse is an incredibly rich universe for miniature makers to explore,” said Hudson Adams, the CEO of Wargames Atlantic.  “We’re incredibly excited to work with the excellent team at Green Ronin to bring these sets to life in hard plastic!”

“If the campaign goes well, we can expand the range,” adds Pramas. “Marines, Belters, and more ships are high on the of list potential sets.”

The Expanse RPG: Transport Union Edition is the core rulebook for Green Ronin’s popular roleplaying game. In addition to the game and miniatures, the campaign includes three new RPG supplements, dice, condition cards, and more. You can sign up to be notified of the launch on BackerKit.

Love the game a people minis but the ships are not great and really dull which is a shame.

Joe Mansfield - September 21, 2024

Forty bucks (before postage) for 18 minis; not exactly the beat deal. Sure makes the Stargrave sets look like a bargain.

Randy Briggs - September 20, 2024

Will the miniatures be available on WGA after this campaign is over?

Bruce - September 17, 2024

Can we see some better photos of the ships or the sprues? The photo/render on the Backerkit site is really unflattering.

De Carolis Alessio - September 16, 2024

This is a really exciting news, I like Expanse’s universe, and a set of minis inspired by this excellent production would be surely awesome. Expecially if they’ll be compatible with other plastic set as Stargrave’s ones, Martian’s marines Power Armours would be a welcome sets, if, hopefully, the first sets will be successful.

Mike - September 13, 2024

As a fan of the Expanse, I’m excited for this line to come to life. I’d be tickled pink if we got MMC powered armor, and some lanky and tall Belters.

Rob brown - September 13, 2024

Hope there will be crew in space suits. Serious lack of those type of miniatures. Also, some different heights would be great as this isn’t a wargame line.

I know this isn’t up to you but man those ships are boring… should be jumping for joy at the idea of indy HIPS spaceships, but…

Ben - September 13, 2024

I am very excited by this, and looking forward to seeing the boxes, especially after success of the Quar and Reptilian warlord boxes

Bob Nelson - September 12, 2024

So excited for this. I love building rpg characters out of mini kits. Ship building will be fun as well, but I can see all kinds of uses for these minis.
