A New Direction for OPR Terrain
Thank you for all of the feedback about OPR Terrain you gave us in the last community survey and the terrain specific survey we ran in July. In response we are going to be changing how we make terrain going forward.
The most important change is that we want to make the terrain easier to print on resin 3D printers. In the survey, our users overwhelmingly prefer resin 3D printing to FDM printing, so making terrain that takes advantage of the printers you already have and are comfortable using is a must.
To do this we're going to be making smaller modular terrain pieces designed specifically for resin printing and moving away from larger static buildings that needed to be sliced into parts. We want the terrain we make to look the best it possibly can and for printing it to be a great experience.
With more organic edges and modular uses in mind, these terrain pieces can be used on their own, reconfigured as needed on a table, or used together with other parts to assemble larger terrain pieces with all the detail and quality possible with resin printing.
Each terrain set is also going to be much larger than our previous terrain sets. Above you can see a preview of the Small Forest Terrain set, and instead of our usual 4 pieces, it will now include 11. There will also be more terrain sets for each theme.
You also asked for us to focus on more general terrain that can be used on a larger variety of tables, so we are going to pause production on faction specific terrain after the final release of the Blessed Sisters terrain sets. The first several terrain sets will be more broad themes, with the first theme being our forest terrain. We may return to doing faction specific terrain in the future once we've got a good variety of terrain released.
We're already incredibly excited to see the creative terrain builds you will make with these new building blocks.

New Concept Art Preview
At the top of the post you'll find concept art previews of some of the models coming out in November, including the debut of the Vampiric Undead!
In November, the Vampiric Undead rise from their crypts. These accursed forces are lead into battle by Vampire Lords or Ladies. Their drained Soldiers flood the field while Bat Swarms and Bat Beasts soar into the enemy back lines.
The Dwarf Guilds will continue in November as well, with the Berserker Veteran and Berserkers rushing headlong into enemy fire supported by the Dwarf Guilds Elites. And if that wasn't enough to break through enemy ranks, the Dwarf Guilds Tank sure will.
And finally, the Beastmen return with this month's Legendary Model! The Shaman Titan is a massive burning effigy controlled by a Beastman Shaman, capable of bringing fiery destruction across the battlefield.
