Experience Mobile Suit battles like never before in Gundam Assemble; build, paint, and command mobile suits in epic tabletop miniatures skirmish games!
Bandai has revealed the Gundam Assemble miniature game, a brand-new tabletop game that brings the action-packed world of Gundam to your tabletop. This game will let players command iconic mobile suits in skirmish battles, combining strategic gameplay with the hobbyist joy of building and painting Gunpla models.
What Is Gundam Assemble?
At its core, Gundam Assemble is a skirmish miniatures game featuring 2″ Gunpla models—the official Mobile Suit plastic model kits. Each mobile suit in the game will have unique traits and abilities, giving players plenty of variety when building their forces. Battles will take place across different scenarios, some inspired by iconic moments from the Gundam series, and others branching into brand-new stories.
The game aims to bring the thrill of Gundam’s high-stakes battles to the tabletop, offering a blend of tactical depth and narrative-driven scenarios. Whether you’re reliving classic clashes from the series or creating your own epic confrontations, Gundam Assemble promises plenty of action for 40k and Gunpla hobbyists.
Gunpla Meets Tabletop Miniatures Gaming
The miniatures for Gundam Assemble will require assembly and painting, staying true to the spirit of Gunpla building. For hobbyists, this means an exciting opportunity to customize and personalize their mobile suits before sending them into battle.
While the models come unpainted, the potential to replicate the look of your favorite suits—or create entirely new designs—adds a creative layer to the game.
Gunpla enthusiasts will appreciate that these models offer the same high level of detail as Bandai’s other kits. The smaller scale of the 2″ miniatures makes them perfect for skirmish gaming while still retaining the intricate designs Gundam is known for.
What We Know So Far
While many specifics about the game are still under wraps, Bandai has confirmed a few key details:
- Mobile Suit Variety: Expect mobile suits from multiple Gundam series, each with unique abilities to match their lore.
- Narrative Scenarios: Gameplay will include scenarios based on key moments from the Gundam franchise, along with original missions created just for the game.
- Hobby Focus: Gunpla models will require assembly and painting, blending the joy of model-building with the excitement of tabletop gaming.
Bandai has promised to share more information about the game soon, including rules, gameplay mechanics, and how the models will be distributed.
A New Era for Gundam Gaming
Gundam Assemble isn’t Bandai’s only recent venture into gaming. The company also recently unveiled the Gundam TCG: Edition Beta, a new trading card game that offers fans another way to experience their favorite franchise. With both a TCG and a miniatures game on the horizon, Bandai is diving headfirst into bringing Gundam to the tabletop gaming world.
What’s Next?
With its mix of tactical gameplay, narrative missions, and customizable models, Gundam Assemble is shaping up to be an exciting addition to both the Gundam franchise and the world of tabletop miniatures games. Whether you’re a Gunpla hobbyist, a Gundam fan, or just looking for a new tabletop game to try, this one is worth keeping an eye on.
