March Preview + Roadmap

In March the Wood Elves Eternals hatch to protect the Heartwood. The Eternals Elders are heroes reborn. The Eternals buzz with the hum of war, while the Hunters and Guardian protect the living citizens of their cities. The Human Defense Force replenishes it's ranks with the Recruits while the Munitioner makes makes sure every soldier is well armed. The Truck is the perfect tool for an HDF General in an urban warfare environment. The Armored Walker division also gets new hardware with the Combat Walker and the Tactical Walker.

Please remember that these are early WIP shots of the models and not the final versions of the models.

In March the cocoons crack open and the Wood Elves Eternals get unleashed onto the the invaders of the Heartwood. The Eternal Heroes were once great elf heroes resurrected to continue their guard. The Eternal Elder is the up close and personal type, using claws and heavy weapons to engage foes, while the Eternal Spell Weaver transforms the energies of the woods into powerful magic that helps both elf and eternal alike. The Eternal Revenants are solders of the forest come back to enact vengeance on those that destroyed them. Armed with Claws, Blades or Bows they return to battle in what ever role suited them best in life. The Eternal Hunters were allowed to grow for much longer to have a larger stature and sturdier shell. Most of their weapons reflect their skill in past lives, but they may take up the scythe and embody the role of the reaper, their enemies being the chosen harvest. The Eternal Guardian is a mass of chitin and carapace, an awe to behold. Large Hammers and Glaives benefit it's new post as protector of the forest and it's people.

Casualties are a price to pay for the Human Defense Force, which is why in March they refresh their ranks with new Recruits. Not yet seasoned soldiers, they have simple armaments, just standard combat rifles, which they'll learn to use in the field. While they may not be heroes now, the combat experience will turn them into proper soldiers of the HDF. The Munitioner comes bearing gifts for his units in the form of every available type of ammunition they desire, improving piercing effectiveness against heavier armored units. The Armored Truck is an efficient all terrain gun platform. Strong like a tank, but made for more urban environments it can pack quite a lot of light arms firepower into it's frame. It's also able to be sequestered with troop transport options for taking small squads more reliably into battle. HDF Walkers are heavily armored mobile platforms made for taking on larger threats to humanity. The Tactical Walker is equipped with an arsenal of heavy ranged firepower, taking out targets from afar while protected by it's own mass. The Combat Walker uses it's bulk as a weapon, employing energy weapons and close range firepower to disturb beyond enemy lines.

In March HDF command has also cleared for use the Super Heavy Battle Tank. This giant machine of Gatling Guns, Cannons, Mortars, and Lasers is an entire arsenal on treads. Supporting troop transport as well as an array of the heaviest weapons the HDF engineers can imagine, it's a full army onto itself, one the enemy would rather not be staring down the barrel of.

For Age of Fantasy: Quest the Vampiric Undead Barbarian dons ceremonial armor, sharpens her axes and gets very very angry. With an unquenchable bloodlust, she never tires of killing and can continue fighting long after her teammates are exhausted.

For Grimdark Future: Star Quest the Alien Hives Prime Infiltrator is a clever example of his species as he operates in solo. Quickly getting to an objective unseen and getting out as if he was never there.

In March, The Desert Terrain levels up in scale with the Desert Medium Terrain. This terrain pack designed to fill a bit more surface area of the table to create impassable areas that need to be maneuvered around to get the best tactical advantage.

For our 2D releases, you'll see the Shadow Stalkers - Set #1 and the Dwarf Guilds - Set #1, plus Paper Terrain sets. The 2D models are a great way to prepare armies for games quickly!

In April, Wood Elves culture collides between beauty and danger with the War Dancers. Fluid graceful movements allow them to dodge through arrows and melee with ease, while their sharp blades shift from one side to the other based on the condition of the combat. The Dance Master overseeing the party and directing the choreography of the deadly war dancer art. The War Gliders bring their dance to the sky. With feathered wings and swift speed they fly up and descend upon their unwitting dancing partners with claw like blades. The Owl Rider Champion and Owl Riders are the ever watchful defenders of the canopy. Swiftly they dive upon enemies with lances or take out their marks from the sky with bow, either way they're never heard coming. The Champion on Forest Dragon is the penultimate general, able to follow the flow of battle from the sky and inserting themselves in the outcome of certain battles, usually to the favor of the Wood Elves.

In April the Orc Marauders rile up their clan in a time of constant war. The Orc Marauder Leader is the is the experienced veteran other clan orcs look up to in moments of battle, their strength developed through years of continuous fighting against clan members and outsiders alike. The Orc Shaman is a psychic who distributes the foundations of orc warfare through magical means, helping units move among the battle or using deadly casts to clear paths for more vicious clan orcs. The Orc Warriors are the bulk of orc forces. All orcs are trained to fight from youth and the orc warriors show just what that kind of regimen can produce. They might not be the best of shots, but there's rarely a melee in which the orcs don't come out on top. The Orc Bikers and Biker Leader are the impatient type of orc that loves to hold down the trigger as they ride strait towards their enemies. A loud cloud of bullets, dust, and fumes they're every basis for every orc stereotype in Sirius. The Orc Marauders Truck is the workhorse vehicle of the orcs. Used for transport, demolition, or gunning, it's customized by every orc unit to suit their needs and style of warfare.

The Saurian Starhost get some reinforcements in April with the Dread Tyrannosaur. This massive dinosaur comes fitted with heavy saurian made guns for dino and crew alike. It's back is the perfect platform for Gecko cohorts to survey the battle from above and fire their own pintle mounted guns at enemies below.

Here is the roadmap for the next few months:

• April - Wood Elves & Orc Marauders + New Loyalty Rewards

• May - Wood Elves & Orc Marauders

• June - Dwarves & Orc Marauders + New Welcome Pack

That's it for now, happy wargaming!
