Age of Fantasy Lore Focus #2

Every week we're highlighting the lore of a few factions for each of our games, and this week we're focusing on Age of Fantasy's Elves! The Wood Elves, High Elves, Dark Elves, and Deep-Sea Elves have a long history of betrayal, civil war, and trying to restore and reclaim their ancient homes.

Read about them in this week's Lore Focus on our website.

OPR at TMX -  Tabletop Minions Expo

OPR will be exhibiting at TMX (Tabletop Minions Expo) on June 3-4 at the Gruenhagen Conference Center, UW-Oshkosh, Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Hosted by Uncle Atom and featuring guests and presenters Vince Venturella, Sam Lenz and Ninjon.

OPR will have a booth set up running demos of our games, giving away some free promotional miniatures, and showing off some of our minis.

3D Print - May's Delayed Models Now Available, Comparing the Old and New Alien Hives, New Previews, and New Video

The delayed models from our May release are now available, including the Alien Hives Devourer Titan and the Human Empire Bases. They've already been added to the MyMiniMactory packages for our Tier 2 Patrons.

At the suggestion of our Patrons, we thought it would be a great idea to show side by side comparisons between the new Alien Hives models and the old ones. So we've got two to show you!

First up is the Carnivorex. This is a great example of one of the models where we've taken the existing sculpt, sharpened and refined the details as well as added more texture and details across the model, but the big addition to the model is that it is also available with a host of new weapon options for the body that it did not have before.

Here is the old Carnivorax:

And here are some previews of the new one:

Next, the Burrower was a complete re-sculpt. While the two models are recognizable to each other, the new model has more details, a different pose, and an entirely new body that more represents the vision we had for this terrifying alien beast. The new burrower is also quite a bit larger than the older one.

Here is the old Burrower:

And here is a preview of the new one:

Also this week we've got more previews at the top of this post of the Human Empire and Alien Hives models you can expect to get next month! For the Human Empire, we are showing off the War Wagon. This powerful mobile platform towers over the battlefield, protecting and supporting the troops inside, include the Boar mascot!

For the Alien Hives we're showing off the Assault Prime and Grunts, the melee front line for the faction, as well as the monstrous Carnivorax, featuring many of the new body options it has to represent the different upgrades this unit can take.

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

Finally, Paintman Journeying has a great video featuring the new Human Empire models where he paints different heraldry to represent the different elements of the Human Empire.

You can watch it on his YouTube Channel.

That's it for this week, happy wargaming!
