Hell Train & Lost Tombe(SoB)

[Old Dwarf]

The Frogs are adding a new KS for SoB-here's a run down from
FPS of BGG

For people who didn't watch the recent preview stream here is a quick summary of whats coming (probably missed many things though/made some errors) -

Kickstarter starting 13th July - Lost Tombs of Khamuntet (1930's Egypt setting) and The Impossible Hell Train

Lost Tombs has the Egyptian tombs on one side and the Sunken City of Pharroxx on the other
4 Heroes (Professor, Archeologist, Mechanic, and Soldier of Fortune) - Professor has a deck of specialities to draw from at the beginning, so can be a professor of physics or astronomy etc.
Enemies - Scarab Swarms (x12), Anubis Jackals (x3), Crypt Mummies (x6), Cult of Horus - human cultists (x6) and a Tomb King - XL animated statue (x1)
The Town is going back to Cairo
Not just enemies to fight but traps to overcome. Heroes can collect 'Glory' tokens, and there are two part artifacts (bit like how its done in the Fortune & Glory game it seems)
The background of Pharroxx is that is/was run buy a race of ancient vampires that were rivals of the gods of ancient egypt

The Impossible Hell Train is a full old west standalone core set with new heroes/town etc.
4 Heroes - Bounty Hunter, Cavalry Officer, Reporter and a Rail Worker (huge guy with a hammer)
Enemies - Train Robbers - both mounted and unmounted, Soulless - bit like hungry dead but with luggage! (x12), Grotesques - large size flying creatures (x3) and the XL Hellborn Engineer - bit like a steam powered chaos dreadnought from warhammer 40k!
Train Cars tiles, with Hell train versions on the reverse, and seperate rooftop tiles (some with hatches), also a seperate board for the ground/track for missions that can involve moving on and off the train - robbers for example riding along side then jumping onto the train. The train tiles have differant links to normal so the tiles can move about a bit - ie won't be a rigid straight line, you can curve the train around corners! The train also has a speed track, and the speed can effect things in the game.
The Town sounds like it will similiar to the Frontier Town (hopefully you can combine the two).

The showed a lot of the miniatures and some artwork in the stream (no tiles though). Interesting the core egypt set doesn't seem to have any specific miniatures for the pharroxx world (probably just uses variants of egypt ones for the moment - I am sure specific ones will be stretch goals in the kickstarter). They didn't mention anything other than the new core sets (saving it for the kickstarter), other than there will be alt-genders as usual and there will be at least two kickstarter exclusive heroes (one for each setting).

Probably many other details I have left out but it all looks pretty amazing.

Here's the UTUBE from FFP
