Tier 2 Only: New Sci-Fi Army - Vote Now! (Patreon)

For rest of this year, we're going to be releasing the Eternal Dynasty, Jackals and the Saurian Starhost, but after that, we're going to be releasing a new army, and you get to choose which!

This next sci-fi army we'll release is going to be a "classic" army (stuff like battle sisters, machine cult, etc.), but with an OPR twist to it, so that it fits into our own universe.

To make things easier, we are providing you with overview concepts for each army, which were made to convey the overall theme we're going for. These are not final concepts, nor do they cover every unit in the army, so more will come once we make them.

We highly recommend that you download the army images, so that you can view them in full, because there are TONS of details on them you don't want to miss.

Battle Sisters Highlight

Before we get into this, we have to make a confession: we love the new look for the Battle Sisters. The whole team is extremely excited about it, and it has filled us with a passion beyond what we usually have for the rest of our work. The fact that we also have a current line of Battle Sisters models, which we frankly don't believe is any good, has further inspired us to give this army our best shot.

With this in mind, the voting for the next sci-fi army is going to be different than the one for the fantasy army. First, we ask you to pick if you want us to make Battle Sisters or not, and then vote for the rest. If the majority of you pick the Battle Sisters, then we will go for them, but else we'll go with whatever else got the most votes.

Now, let us explain why we are so excited about the Battle Sisters.

From a theme perspective, we love the idea of an all-female army, with a highly religious theme. In order to stand out for other similar themed armies, we are leaning heavily into the more baroque look of the "semana santa", which is near and dear to our hearts.

From a sculpting perspective, this will allow us to flex our muscles, and how what we can bring to the table. Each unit is layered with different materials and details, which are both a challenge and a delight to work on, and which should make for a stunning result.

It's important to note that despite the complex look of the army, we will make sure to stay within our signature modelling style of accessible miniatures, which are high quality but still easy to paint. The Eternal Dynasty Warriors are a good example of a sculpt with many different materials, but that still remains easy and fun to paint.

Without further ado, here's the rest of the army. Enjoy!

Here's the other 5 sci-fi armies for you to choose from:

1. Dwarf Guilds

For the Dwarf Guilds, we wanted to go with a different theme that doesn't have the typical Norse mythology look. The Dwarf Guilds are deep galactic miners, who arm themselves to the teeth to fight whatever they find at the deep core of the planets they dig into. Their themes include heavy mining material, as well as gas masks that are connected with tubes to their chest, resembling mighty beards.

2. Infected Colonies

The Infected Colonies are interesting, because it's an army where you are essentially playing as a parasite. The parasite takes over the nervous system starting from the spine, and working its way up to the brain, where it consumes it. Then it starts to grow, breaking the skull apart, and becoming a mass of flesh with pieces of skeleton lodged into it. Each stage of this transformation is a different unit, and there's also infected animals in the mix.

3. Soul-Snatcher Cults

When soul-snatchers are sick of being advisors to alien hive tyrants, they go off to find less advanced planets, where they are revered as gods, forming a Soul-Snatcher Cult. The style of the army reflects this cult obsession, with all units having armor shapes reminiscent of the soul-snatchers, as well as their slightly more low-tech roots.

4. Machine Cult

In the GF universe, the Machine Cult are a faction of technologically obsessed fanatics, that are still waiting for the singularity to happen. Despite this, they are actually not that advanced, which is why they have a weird, 21st century / boston-dynamics theme. To reflect their weirdness, the style of the army is based on a mix of cyborg bodies and weird vehicles, that bridge the gap between organic life and machines.

5. Daemons

The Daemons are divided into 4 havoc gods, each with its own theme, and if they get picked we will make ALL 4 of them, so that we can complete the full faction roster.

Note that since this army is both present in fantasy and sci-fi, we're giving you the chance to vote for them in both polls. If they get picked, we will do a special joint release, where we only release daemons for a few months, trying to get through the full roster quickly.

War Daemons are the most brutal of all, with their theme being centered around horns and devils. They love to collect skulls, so they carry fancy baskets to store them.

Change Daemons  are wise and magical, and we wanted to go with the classic bird theme, with triple eyes. They also carry lots of scrolls, and relics, plus use disk shaped weapons.

Plague Daemons are not exactly rotten, but more infested. Their bodies are twisted and disproportional, with fungus growing all over them.

Lust Daemons are an all-female mix of sirens, snakes and insects. As they grow up in ranks they grow more tails and claws, until they reach their ultimate form.

VOTE NOW

The voting will be open until 25th of January, after which we'll be revealing the winners, and then start working on the armies. Please note that we're really excited about all of these concepts, and they will all be brought to life in the long run.

May the best army concept win!
