Show and Tell: Weta Workshop's Giant Killer Robots Board Game

Look what's arrived at the Tested office from New Zealand! Our friends at Weta Workshop sent us a prototype of their upcoming GKR: Heavy Hitters tabletop game, featuring awesome miniature robots designed at Weta's collectibles workshop. We check out the pieces and give an overview of the game, which is being launched as a Kickstarter campaign.

Thanks for watching!

All I really want is a model kit of the Prawn Exosuit from District 9.

Weta is awesome. All of the creativity in a single building is uplifting.

I like Tested, yes some of the content seems to be "rushed" but I get it. Though I don't understand why you guys chose to disable comments on the "Positive/Negative Pressure PC" video?? if you make content that is as bad and thoughtless as that video was you should be prepared for people to tear it apart. You guys are smarter than that video and know better. I would like to see it revisited with a more scientific approach.

As a modeler and miniature painter these are so damn cool! Going to be taking about this in my podcast for sure!

aww such a tease... really would have loved to seen it in action.

They look beautiful, I hope the game gets released, although it might be very pricey.

I am super excited about this kickstarter and we are backing two copies. AMAZING WORK!

You should do an episode with frank painting those beautiful models!!

[ddiaz]

Definitely thinking about backing this one. Looks great

[meatbyproducts]

I played this at PAX West... it is awesome and worth backing on Kickstarter.

[JonKnallpistolen]

I actually hope this board game makes it.

[ariannadandrea]

This looks so cool, I definitely want to pick one up when they are released

[benschweizbach]

Please post video of the actual game play. I for one would love to see you all play it.

looks like the next mech warrior table top. sweet

"I'd buy it just for the miniatures" I plan to do exactly this, and possibly the expansions as well. Wish I could have backed the kickstarter in fact but 1, I didn't know about it at the time and 2, I couldn't afford it anyway.

[crunchled]

This looks amazing. It's rare you get to see such high quality figures. Hopefully this factor won't effect the cost

[RichardTheRoe]

Is it going bad for Tested? I mean two major video series that are pure sponsor/commercial garbage atm? They even disabled comment on them...

Oh well. You do what you got to do to survive I suppose. :/

[steadyox]

I thought someone finally made a mass produced miniature robotic game that actually moves

[Nightshade_Daylight]

I'm throwing my money at this game.

Needs to have multilayer levels board playing positions. The whole board(s) needs to be a hexagon shape. Cool concept.
