Hey choomba. Everyone knows that in the time of the red, looks and attitude are everything, sure you need the gear and skills to back it up, but looking authentic is a must. Luckily, Monster Fight Club has what you need to elevate your game.
Cyberpunk Red is the upcoming next edition for the Cyberpunk 2020 roleplaying game. The Cyberpunk Red setting also covers the gap between 2020 and the Cyberpunk 2077 video game. R Talsorian Games recently released the Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart Kit, which serves as a teaser and starter set for the full core rulebook release later this year. The Jumpstart Kit featured tiled maps and card stand up figures to let you play out the included adventure, and Monster Fight Club have produced a range of miniatures to upgrade those standups, use in future games of Cyberpunk Red, or use in any cyberpunk-themed miniatures game.
You can buy roleplaying games and accessories from our Tabletop Sponsor, Firestorm Games.
The first wave of miniatures includes 2 sets, each with 5 miniatures representing the different archetypes from Cyberpunk Red. Some of them are taken directly from the pre-generated characters from the Jumpstart Kit. Another set of 5 miniatures includes the characters from the Team Monster, Gary-Con Streaming event. You can check out the RPG session here, which was Games Mastered by the Cyberpunk 2020 creator, Mike Pondsmith. There is also a miniature available for Mike Pondsmith's NCPD character Maxiumum Mike.
The miniatures are currently pre-release miniatures, so come without retail packaging, and they do require some assembly. Most are a single piece, simply needing to be stuck on their base, and the rest are 2 or 3 parts. The miniatures are made from durable plastic and require minimal cleaning before assembly.
Once the miniatures are assembled, they can be used straight away for the Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart Kit games, replacing the standup included in the kit, or any other cyberpunk miniatures game.
All the miniatures look great, with some awesome detail and motion. We've already been using the miniatures in our Cyberpunk Red games and a couple have also been used in other skirmish game systems we play.
While the release of the Core Rulebook for Cyberpunk Red has been delayed, Monster Fight Club has already put the next set of miniatures for pre-order. The Investigations Set 1 features a detective and casualty, the Law Enforcers Set has 5 Riot Team members and the Street Sum Set has 5 masked gangers. They are available now and looking to ship early June.
All of the miniatures, as well as Monster Fight Club's scenery, can be purchased from their online store.
All of the Cyberpunk Red Miniatures used to produce this preview were provided by Monster Fight Club.
