New Weekly Update Format

Hi everyone, starting today we're going to try out a new format for the weekly update.

Seeing how we keep adding more and more stuff every month, the amount of updates we have been pushing through Patreon has been steadily increasing, which leads to supporters being flooded with e-mails every week.

In order to avoid this issue, we're going to try and limit our posts to just the weekly update, and put all of the information in here instead. This means that the posts will be very information dense, so we're going to put up an index first so you know which sections might be of interest to you (or not), and we'll try to keep each section as brief as possible.

We hope that this new format works well!

Warfleets: FTL - Important D6/2D6 Update

After many months of tweaking and testing, FTL is read to make the official switch from a 2D6 system to a D6 system. We think that this new version greatly improves game flow and makes the game a lot more fun on the tabletop, and are happy with how it turned out.

We have uploaded a new version of the Full Rulebook in D6 format, which you can find here. For those of you that like the 2D6 version better, we're going to keep it online until the end of month, after which it will be removed, so make sure to download it now!

Arena S03 - Common Assets + 1st Warband

With the new Ratmen Clans models, we're ready to start Season 3 of the arena games, and we've already added the first version of the games for both GF and AoF, which you can find here. This includes a set of new common assets, 3 hex boards, and the Ratmen Clans warband (for GFA).

Whilst generally speaking we've been satisfied with how things have been going with the arena games, we're always thinking about how to improve the games, so we're currently testing a new format for how to play the game, which may very well be the future for the games. Once we have more info, we'll let you know!

2D Print - Ratmen Clans, Xenos Fleet + Next Army Poll

Two new sets of 2D models have been released, which you can find here.

We've also put up a new poll for the next 2D army coming in February, so vote here.

3D Print - New Previews, Duchies of Vinci + Loyalty Rewards Poll

At the top of this post you can see new previews for some January models and one of the new March models. The models still need some tweaking, with the geckos still missing a lot of details, as well as the Spider Walker getting multiple head-swaps, but overall we're getting there!

The DaVinci army won last week's new fantasy army poll, and so we've already started working on the concept art for them as well as a new army list, the Duchies of Vinci. For those that wanted the other armies there's no need to worry, you will still be able to vote for them in future polls.

Finally, we're going to be doing providing loyalty rewards starting in April, and in order to prepare for that we'd like to know your opinion on what type of rewards you want. Make sure to take let us know what you think by voting here.

That's it for this week, happy wargaming!
