Hello Dear Heroes Infinite Patron,

Well, I think a big THANK YOU is due!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your positive comments on the Egyptian release!!

You probably can’t imagine how much it means to us!

I know this Thank You is coming late in the month, but read on, you’re going to understand why.

As we are sharing the Viking release video for the June release, I figured it was my turn to tell you how AWESOME YOUR SUPPORT IS!

It is also the opportunity for me to apologize for not being more present on Patreon with more posts and more content. But our priority is always sculpting and this month’s has been very intense.

I really wanted to do a video in which I would go through all your comments and answer them but I have been SO busy this month (and for a good reason as you can read below) that when I raised my head from the sculpting software, it was already May 23!

But even if I don’t answer, you can be sure that I definitely read every one of your asks and try my best to incorporate them in the release.

The good news is that we are working hard to make the communication better in the next few weeks.

Stay tuned!

Ragnarok!!!!

So…. THE VIKINGS ARE HERE!!!!

And well, that video is freaking insane in my opinion!!

Like I told you a few weeks ago, I wanted to take some time to do more research on them and create for you something really special yet true to the Viking identity, and I think we succeeded.

I really love them.
I hope you do too :)

As always, I plan things so that there is tons of stuff in this release that you can ALSO use for something other than Vikings. For example:

ALTERNATIVE USES

Hel would make a perfect Necromancer or a beautiful yet terrifying God of Pestilence priestess.

Skadi would make a super dynamic and beautiful Ranger.

Freya is perfect as a Druidess with a weapon made of Obsidian.

Loki can be a great evil forest spirit.

The Norns are characters that are also part of the Greek and many other mythologies and could be used as a group or separately as witches or wood spirits or any other type of mysterious female priestesses.

Fenrir can be used in SO MANY settings that I will not even go into the details. Also note that he comes with and without the sword in his mouth.

And of course, most everything here can be used to build an amazing Barbarian horde!

But really…VIKINGS!!!

You should play them!

And have you ever seen a Ghost Drakkar like this one?

Or something similar to that crazy Valhalla Centerpiece?

Time to have fun!!! And now, more good news:

WE'RE CATCHING UP!

If you remember the last update, we were making very good progress on catching up to be sure we would deliver the Egyptian release earlier than usual… and then we were massively delayed by several technical issues arising with the Centerpiece and the Modular Scenery.

Well we pushed like crazy this month and we finished sculpting for the Viking release a week ago, which is a massive victory for us!

The video took quite some time to make, though, as the texturing of the centerpiece scene is always a nightmare. But we think we might have found a workaround for that for next month...

More than that, the July release is already halfway done and THAT is fantastic news because it is the guarantee that from now on, you will be getting your files on time and we will have more room to make this Patreon BETTER on all levels.

So things are looking good :) :) :)

Loyalty Reward

The 12 months reward is now ready and we will start working on the 15 months reward in the next following days.

Since we did 2 months on the Greeks, it felt like we couldn't miss the opportunity to make the 12 months reward a Hydra. Plus there are so many options to add this massive beast to different settings or armies, we thought it was a perfect choice.

We hope you’ll like that terrifying abomination… she just wants some love ;) :D

Also Patreon has really messed up our calculation system for the rewards lately. Patreon doesn’t give us access to the data that we need to properly serve you, it’s infuriating…

So please give us just a little time, the rewards are coming your way!

What’s coming next?

To be sure to catch up on our delays and make sure we would finally have one release ready in advance, we needed to move really fast and do something we would be very comfortable with.

Also, we thought that we should take a break from mythology for a bit and so we looked at the previous suggestions you gave us and one that seemed to come up often was a Knights release.

You usually ask something like: “Great warriors in shiny armour, accompanied by their priest and inquisitor and saints, by their cavalry and their divine giant beasts riding through the sky to deliver holy justice and purge the world from Evil...”

So we looked at each other and said:

“Yeah, sure, we can do that!” ;)

So Knights it is for July!

If you are looking for SciFi, don’t despair. I have written an extensive post about this in which I hope to answer all your questions. I will post it during the first days of June after the dust of the new release has settled. Just know we are not ignoring you! There is most likely something for you in the July release...

Because, yes, I think whether you play RPG or Wargames, you’re going to love the Knights release. And even if you want SciFi, you will definitely find something that you can use for your Gothic SciFi adventures in that release. I have to say that I am VERY excited about this, July is going to be awesome!

And now we can start taking requests for the future months!

We need to know what’s your fancy.

Should I go full DnD mode and explore the Monsters Manuals or should we do another dive into Mythology? You’ve told us many things about exploring classes, just like we did with the Thieves’ Guild so we could do the same for Wizards or other classes? Should we go back to some of the themes we’ve already worked on and give you a Volume 2?

As you can see there are TONS of options, just let us know what are your favorites!

OK, if you’re still reading, kudos for reaching the end of this post! Now it's your turn to share!!! You have no idea how much we look forward to reading your feedback below in the comments!
