Please drop me a note of possible lists you might like added to the FWCII list library.
I'll try my best to accommodate requests, within the boundaries set by a need to avoid potential copyright litigation.
However, you are also welcome to send me your own lists and I'll be happy to vet them and we'll find a way to get them published.
Likewise if you have thoughts on how certain factions or units should be portrayed in FWCII lists, please drop me a line here.
Enjoy!
Mark

Justice warriors from a comic set 26 years ago.

Heavy mechanised walking warriors (various sizes and weaponry) that battle with technology, both American and Japanese inspired, some may change shapes.

A different type of genocidal robots with a baked product obsession, controlled by incredibly good looking humanoid clones

Different archaic martians with different colours and limb counts without much technology

Venutians controlled by a super brain using 50s sci fi.

Martians that go Ak a lot...

Rabid lemming types

Kennedy (rapidly running out of TV and movies to try to describe)

Do current or planned lists cover genocidal pepperpots regularly opposed by near future humans and an eccentric being who occupies an obsolete housing for law enforcement telecoms? Or is that too liable to attract litigation?

More a skirmish game rather than a full-blown army?

fred.

I do think a few of these suggestions feel more skirmish than full on battle. 

I think Mark will have a lot of work to do with all of these! Perhaps some more suggestions on the type of units would help. But feels quite hard to agree on the relative strength of different forces from different sources.

OK - Just to help 'contain' multiple (& similar) requests I've put up below a list of lists.

A. New Pendraken 10mm Sci-Fi range lists (in no particular order):

Human Collective
Human Corporate
Human Empirical
Human Free States
Human Griffon
Human Theological
Protz (Alien - shrimp/cockroach like)

D. Old FWCI lists (ahead of conversion to FWCII stats - although points costs are within c.+/- 4% variance):

[FWC] Cybernetic Species X31
[FWC] Eldritch Caste

NOTE: those old FWCI lists marked with a * may not be able to be converted, unless we get specific written permission from the manufacturers. There are also a few more old lists, from the (now closed) Specialist Military Publications (SMP) website, FWC section, that we'll consider adding to the lists as well.

There are some 56 lists above.
This will take some time to convert to the new FWCII format and stats. Our priority will be sections A. and B. to start with, but we'll produce a delivery schedule shortly.

Thanks
Mark

Looking at the various requests - so far - I agree with fred, that many of them are probably more orientated towards a skirmish level game. FWCI did have a skirmish level game section. This has deliberately been omitted from the FWCII book, as I'd had feedback that it caused a degree of confusion.
Our plan is to put this section (unaltered) back up as a PDF, at some point in the future. So that those who want to use it can access it still. It will work equally well as it is with the FWCII rules, as it is.

Taking various of the specific requests already stated above (with a degree of interpretation:

1. Anything - Doctor Who/Star Wars/Dune/Star Trek/Battlestar Galactica/Firefly/Transformers/Blakes 7/the Expanse/Starship Trooper/Avatar/Mars Attacks/Marvel or DC universes, orientated - as a heads up, we will be very unlikely to be producing specific 'official' lists for any of these. These are heavily franchised and closely monitored from a copyright perspective. 

2. There were some existing 'fan/player' produced Battletech FWCI lists available on the SMP website - we will look to make these available, but it is unlikely we will be converting these to FWCII officially.

3. There was an old fan/player FWCI Terminator Assault Wave list designed for the skirmish game - it will also reappear in the FWCI list archive.

I suspect that once the official unit and army list calculators are available that players will wish to submit their own customized personal lists for other to use, and we'll look to make a method of doing this available.

Many thanks
Mark

Indeed - there was already a list on the old SMP website  :ar!
I was thinking I might get some sculpted myself ... just got to do a bit of judicious beach-combing for small crab shells to get started  :D

Is there somewhere that the original lists from first edition have been stored? Perhaps with figure suggestions?
I already have suggestions for what could be used for some of the Bug colony from the original site.

Thanks,

Shouldn't there a fourth alien race in the New Pendraken Sci Fi range lists ?

Cheers - Phil.
