Age of Fantasy Lore Focus #7

Every week we're highlighting the lore of a few factions for each of our games, and this week we're focusing on the Age of Fantasy factions: Ogres, Shadow Stalkers, Giant Tribes, and Halflings.

You can read all about them on our website. 

2D Print - New Frog-Mage

Last month, In order to ensure that our miniatures are original and distinctive from other products, we've decided to re-work the Saurian Frog-Mage. Now the 2D model has been updated to match. The new version has been automatically updated in your DriveThruRPG / Wargame Vault library for free. Enjoy!

3D Print - New Previews

This week the theme of the previews for next month is "big." For the Human Empire, the Steam Tank is one of the most feared weapons they have to field with both impressive defense and offense with it's large cannon.

Speaking of large cannons, the Alien Hives Artillery Beast is a huge mobile ranged support option able to get offensive firepower where you need it most.

Finally we've got not one, but TWO legendary models releasing next month. The Duchies of Vinci Bear Titan is a massive mobile weapons platform and the Alien Hive's Hive Titan stomps across the battlefield leaving carnage in its wake. 

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

That's it for this week, happy wargaming!

Bear! Also great work on the big AH models. The steam tank also looks great, though I'm sure people will be asking for it without octopus in short order lol

GaleRazorwind

I would like options for cannons and tanks without the octopus on it. The animal motifs across the empire army break the consistency of their theme. You have too many different animals. Pick one (eagle would be ideal). Other than that, the models look awesome and I'm having a great time painting. PS, please seperate hands and heads from bodies and bodies from mounts. It makes painting very stressful when I can't reach places with the brush. Long time supporter and would be happy to have fewer units if it meant they were easier to paint. Thank you!

Jake Plisken

I don't really understand the Octopus theme? Is it explained somewhere?

Alastair Smith

Oh darn. I may need to print a Bear Titan to go with my Bull Titan (they can then battle it out on the stock market).

John T Coleman

I think it circles back to human magic based on 5 elements - water, fire, air, earth, spirit. I assume each element has an associated animal avatar (I've noticed boar, octopus, salamander and I think a bird - need to look carefully at the human empire 100mm x 150mm base)

Jake Staines

It kind of looks like OPR specifically doesn't want them to be easily usable to fill out a WHFB Empire army while still being obviously inspired by a WHFB Empire army. If it were more or less any other faction I'd wonder if it's simply a legal-liability thing but WHFB Empire are so ridiculously generic Fantasy-Holy-Roman-Empire that it doesn't really feel like it needs it!

Matthew Riley

To clarify - I like the Octopus motif. It's a fun guild emblem for the water/steam/tech side of things, and if it fits the vision of Tyria's Human Empire, go wild. There are plenty of non-octopoid Steam Tanks and Cannons out there. That said, I still think the Salamander units are my favorite in terms of looks and symbol.

I love the alien hives

Nicolas Desjardins

They are based on the 5 elements, and the 5 elements also correspond to a division of the empire's army. Earth/boar is the infantry, air/eagle is the cavalry, water/octopus is the engineering and artillery, fire/salamander is ranged units and aether/lynx is the mages

Lol yall kept the elbow fins on the alien hives model🤣🤣🤣

Sum

love everything but there's something that doesn't really makes sense in the octopus tank. The main barrel seems to be coming out the side of the top hatch where the dude is standing. There's no space for the firing mechanism unless its a penis cannon

Explorer

“You have too many different animals. Pick one” That would not be consistent with OPR lore.

Larry Irish

I don't quite understand the Hive Titan. Why does it have vestigial wings that obviously can't lift it? 😖

sully

if you can acknowledge that they're vestigial you obviously understand it.... thats literally what vestigial means. why do humans still have a set of teeth that can kill them if not removed. it isn't enough of detriment to have atrophied from the genes yet.

Robert Bomer

A bit of feed back, I liked it better when the epic model was from a more recent release faction. Everything else is mint.

hiddenNanite

There's a variant with fully functioning wings too. presumably it's easier for the Hive Mind or whatever to just put the "grow wings fully" gene later in the monster's gestation

Roy Boley

Because even big gigantic face eating monsters want to feel pretty some times.

Caleb Mart

I think it is fine. early breechloading cannons didn't need as much room as current guns because there is no recoil system.

David Porter

Could be an intimidation thing. Lots of animals have parts that "frill out" to make them look larger and imposing.

Tam

Better question is why the official lore has the hive creatures lobbying for rights lol. The Hive Titan wants a 4 day work week with healthcare benefits!

Alastair Smith

Sorry to disappoint, but after slicing the files I realized that I don't have enough free time (and possibly resin) to enter the Bear Titan in this months painting contest. Maybe another time just for the meme.
