Nice to see the forum up.
Can't wait to start the playtest. Most of my local players only play 40k (plus other GW stuff), and while Malifaux is starting to grow roots thanks to its 2e playtest, it tends to be difficult to get any of them to actually play new games let alone invest in them. But I've already gotten a number of players interested in playtesting Arena Rex. Some of them like the gladiator theme, but ultimately the mechanics sell themselves. I haven't had a chance to show off the miniatures or artwork, and I don't know how they all feel about resin, but even if I have to supply all the models I'm confident that AR will be easy to pick up games with.
I see a Red Republic empire on the horizon =]
The low model count required really is a huge draw to me for this. I want to champion this game locally too and I am confident that because I will be able to supply enough models for both sides and variety that I can get the game going in my FLGS.
