This week we overdid it... (Patreon)

Did I ever mention that I'm not very good at taking things slowly?

Somehow from one day to the other things just piled up, and here we are a with a ton of stuff happening this week, plus even more stuff we are working on that we can't reveal yet.

Well, let's get to it...

The 2+ Update

In a stroke of absolute madness we decided to re-balance the cost of 2+ from 16pts to 12pts, which meant that we've had to update almost every army book in the game. Luckily enough we had some volunteers to help out, but it was still a ton of work.

You can expect most vehicles to be cheaper, as well as all of the elite armies to be cheaper, which will hopefully shift the balance of the game enough to make them a bit more viable against horde armies, especially in skirmish games.

This update is coming for all games, so you can also expect monsters and chariots to be cheaper in fantasy, as well as some of the other more resilient units out there.

Indomitus Update

With a new boxed set hitting the street we went ahead and added a couple of new units to the Prime Brothers and the Robot Legions, as well as doing some more changes.

Prime Brothers now all have the Firstborn special rule, which gives them Regeneration against non-spell attacks, making them a bit tougher to crack. Then we added 1 new hero and 4 new units, as well as giving all heroes the ability to take combat shields.

Robot Legions also got a bunch of new stuff, with 2 new heroes and 2 new units, as well as some new equipment for Overseers, Technomancers and Warriors. It's a good day to be a robot.

More Updates

Since we're already working on all of these updates, why not more?

Based on community feedback we're going to be updating some stuff for GF and AoF, which you can expect to be released at the end of the week like everything else.

For GF you can expect updates to the Battle Brothers, Dwarf Guilds, Elven Jesters, Havoc Brothers, High Elf Fleets, Human Inquisition, Soul-Snatchers and any army that has the Command special rule.

For AoF you can expect updates to the Dark Elves, Deep-Sea Elves, Dwarves, Saurians and any army that has Crossbows.

Jakob's Path: Chapter 1

Moving on to new releases, this week we're super happy to release the first chapter of our first Grimdark Future narrative campaign: Jakob's Path.

Jakob's Path is a narrative campaign for Grimdark Future, which is being released in 5 chapters. Each chapter continues the story and features 2 new missions for you to play.

Note that whilst the campaign was written with Battle Brothers vs Orc Marauders in mind, it can be played with any other factions and whatever models you have available.

Chapter 1 - The adventure begins with Jakob and his Battle Brothers landing on the mysterious planet of Zeloria-M5, looking to neutralize any Orc Marauders that inhabit it. Little did he know that he would find much more than just some pesky greenskins...

The story was written by Gabriela Rebelo who took part in the writer's submission challenge, and if this goes over well you can expect more narrative campaigns in the future written by other people that submitted their stories! :D

2D Print Sisters

Now that that's done (you did take the poll, right?), we can move onto this month's amazing release with the flaming Battle Sisters! :D

The models really turned out great, and the two different colors are even cool enough for you to pit a sisters vs sisters army (not sure which color is the villains though).

2D Print Tutorials

Coming from a discussion we had over on Discord, we've decided to add a little tutorial page at the end of all of our 2D print miniature files, showing you 2 different methods you can use to assemble your armies.

Honestly this took a lot more work than we thought, because we ended up having to re-format and re-upload all of our 2D print files, but it was definitely worth it!

Beastmen Assassin

Don't have a regular printer but have a 3D printer instead? Well we got you covered too!

This month we got the last model made in collaboration with the amazing Ilhadiel, and you should definitely check out the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/ilhadiel

Beastmen Assassins protect their herds by killing those that threaten their lands. They work silently and without thanks, bloodying their hands to save their kind.
