Each Month we will release two more short stories and missions for our patrons to read. Later, the stories will be posted on our website without their missions, so be sure to download the stories and missions each month!

The latest missions have been released on Patreon, with a total of 8 missions for you:

Grimdark Future – Spiraling Escalation + Endless Swarm

GF: Firefight – Skyscraper Scrap + Ambassadors

Age of Fantasy – Haunted Realms + Mass Polymorph

AoF: Skirmish – Phoenix Migration + Rat Racing

These missions are focused on fun new ways to play, with interesting objectives and special rules to spice things up. We release new missions every month, so make sure to stick around so that you don’t miss any.

Note that whilst the missions are designed for each specific game, you can totally play them with the rules for any other game (with slight adjustments). This means that you have even more missions to play each month!

The new Ratmen and Blessed Sisters sets are available on Patreon.

These sets feature a ton of minis with front and back views in two different color schemes, as well as black & white. They also include black border versions of the minis, plus VTT tokens to play online.

At the top of post, you'll see some early previews of the what we are working on for March!

The Vampiric Undead Lord on Winged Terror is a powerful and agile monster that can cut easily through enemy infantry, while the Drained Archers flood the battlefield in a hail of arrows. For the High Elf Fleets the Protectors are the core of their troops. These fast mid-ranged fighters are equipped with Shardguns able to rapid fire Rending shots into their enemies.

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

Make sure to follow OPR on Instagram to see tons of pictures and videos of our painted miniatures: https://www.instagram.com/onepagerules/

That's it for this week, happy wargaming!

winged terror!!!! Now show me zombie dragon!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!!!

Benjamin von der Eltz

Hmmm… the Elf faces and helmets look more like Dark Elfs or Gnoms, even a little orcish. High Elfs should have a more noble look. Slim. Relaxed. At least in my opinion.

Alex

Really like the space elfs.

Dun Grizzly

I don't know, is it only me, or some of the elf faces have really strong gnomish features? Apart from that - the design is bonkers.

Garboq

Oooff, I'm not sure I like the HEF. They seem to be lacking a little bit of detail for me.

Kopé

What are gnomish features?

Nicholas Slaten

Don't really care about the elfs, They are killing it with the Vamps!

Talesz

The elf faces and earrings look strange. They are not as noble as they should be for high elves and more like they are from some band of highwaymen. But the rest of the designs are great.

MageInTraining

The Noble should have some fearures on the torso, I think. Maybe a beltbucke, pendant or a carapace? It look little barren now.

marquel pitchford

its a made up universe they can look any way the designer feels its time to step away from the everything should look like GW different company different look IMO

Wolfy

I'm liking the unique look of the elves and it takes a lot for me to compliment a knife ear

GDubs

Completely off topic, but is there a way to update the “Destroyers” as Prime Brothers and/or give them a better defense? I feel like they should have at least as much defense as the Aggro Bros, given the heavy plate.

sully

they have 3 wounds versus their compatriots 1. They are perfectly fine as is. Or you can use one of a hundred already ready to go in the Community tab..

GDubs

You can say the same between Prime Bros “intercessors” and Aggro Bros. I’m not comparing “battle” to “prime,” I’m saying there should be a Destroyer version in Prime Bros - as they should have better defense than intercessor level and closer to Aggro. Or even better - give the Aggro Bros the options for Destroyer loadout. That way Aggro can proxy for both Aggressors and Terminators.

Trent Garvey

The elf modles look, just a tad to chunky. I know that opr js goinf for a more chunky style, but I feel like you could slim down the models by 5 to 10 percent and that would look better.

Sytar

Not really a fan of the elves. They feel akin to the older GW models. And the backpacks really don't do it for me.

Dun Grizzly

Actually I find the lower level of detail a good thing. I don't think these are showcase models - an army units, needing being painted in numbers - yes. It is better to add on a model by ones will than wish details would be removed, 'cause there are like 20 of these warriors I have to paint left and it will take ages.

Dun Grizzly

Yes, we might discuss about gnomes (dwarves, halflings even) in different universes. :D What I meant is, that some of the models have faces I would not portray on a tall and slender characters elves are (like across the board, even here in "50%" of the range). They look very much like faces used in Dwarf Guild's models. Roundish faces, smaller noses, features focused in the middle of the face - there it was a common theme. It is an opinion ofc, though the gap between two feature sets shown here causes my brain to "how did this develop this way?". And it is a fantasy universe - correct. Just have seen t h e s e particular feature set a moment before (the great model of DG Champion as an example), and here it looks like design inconsistency.

AC

Totally knocked it out of the park! The new chunky detail looks great to paint (Sorry, I hated painting the Battle Sister models) and I can totally see myself painting a few test colour schemes. (Ulthuan Blue/White, maybe Biel-Tan Green/White, Blood elf Red/Gold and Nightelf Purple/Silver as starters) And of course, the new vampiric undead models look great, personally they feel nostalgic and fresh at the same time.

Mikhael Meltzer

Wow, just wow! The elves are great and, and the winged beast is awesome. Don't like the vampires themselves, but that's personal. But the drained, oh the drained, just love them, they are just right on so many levels...

Nathan Barling

Disappointed in the elves sadly. They're very stout, have large heads, and chunky bodies... which seems to be a recurring issue among some of the new designs. Its like the Dwarf Guild proportions seeped into everything a little.

Mikhael Meltzer

Something to add through. Bows. The gal on the right will have strong go right through her arm. Dude in the right, if he is drawing the bow already it should be in the same plane with arrow end, and arrow end sjould be approximately in tge middle of rhe strong. Also bow should start to bend already. I'd like to string them with some fishing line, and it would be either strange looking or just impossible with such posing. I tried it in ratmen rangers, NONE of the models could be stringed 😭. The models are so cool, that's a shame you miss such a detail...

Mikhael Meltzer

And the arrow is usually on the inner side, resting on the thumb. But that not so important, and it looks better with whole arrow being visible

Garboq

I will have to disagree on this one. I understand the logic, and hell, I share it, but I am not a Grimdark Future player (nor a 40k for that matter). I collect small, individualish forces for Firefight, AoF:S and other skirmish sized games. I like some more detail on minis, even if it's not a display piece. I also feel the concept and the miniature do not end up translating all too well from one another. Then again, that is merely my opinion.

Toqtamish

It’s their universe. They can decide how they look. Plus these are renders not prints. Plus HEF are the remnants of the stuck up elites who abandoned their civilization when the robots rose up. They probably should look how they do.

Toqtamish

Is it March 4 yet?

Forrest Wentworth

I very much like the elves. I especially like that they are not excessively detailed. As much as I appreciate the renders of the Blessed Sisters on the screen, the details like the tassels and crosses can make them unforgiving to print and the details like the intricate trim on the shoulder pads can make them exhausting to paint.

Luke Weinhagen

Battle Sisters in dresses. Battle Elves in dresses. Someone may be taking "Battle Dress" too literally.

MantisCore

Not sold on the proportions of the elves unfortunately. They seem too stocky to me. I feel the same about the recent humans and vampires, but elves in particular I would expect to be more lithe and graceful. Please take this in the spirit of constructive criticism.

Louis Brenton

The elves look great. Looking forward to seeing more.

Oliver S Crane

I am completely blown away by those elves, genuinely. I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much when High Elf Fleets were announced, but this is the perfect balance between high fantasy elves and Vulcans that use magic. I've seen lots of space elves, but your guys' army may just be the only one I ever use.

Toqtamish

These are just renders. Print them first before deciding

Ryeloaf Breadmen

Something to keep in mind, these are miniatures. A lot of their older sculpts have the less stocky builds, look great in renders, and suck ass as minis, because you gotta thicken and exaggerate for this stuff to work on table top. They might not look as good in renders, but when you put the actual mini in your hand, they look great

MantisCore

I agree up to a point, but I have models of all kinds and sizes and more realistic proportions is nowhere near the problem it used to be. With traditional sculpting and metal casting these proportions were a necessity, whereas now it is more of a stylistic choice; one that you might agree or disagree with. Not even GW uses proportions quite this squat and stocky anymore. In the end I just want my models to fit in with models from other ranges without the difference in proportions being too stark. I would be happy to be proven wrong though.

Joshua Saffy

The complaints aren't that it diverges from GW, but that it looks a bit too chunky and cartoonish

Joshua Saffy

Okay I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks the minis are getting too chunky. I like a couple of the empire minis but recently I haven't been liking the sets, the vampiric undead were kinda a disappointment and now the elves. The proportions are just making them look too cartoonish.

sully

the best minis sets were the truescale-adjacent one (Daemons, Sisters, Jackals etc). mostly a bit disappointing otherwise

Daniel Jay

Having printed out a bunch of their old sculpts, I'm 100% on board for chunkier models. Theyre so much easier to print, paint, and play with, instead of having to worry every step of the way that something is going to snap or shatter.

Joshua Saffy

Yeah I could understand that. Just a preference thing. I personally could put up with the delicate parts for the look but that's just me.

Daniel Jay

Yeah as a 3d designer it's a choice you have to make; small delicate parts for show, or thick durable parts for durability. OPR has changed its art style based on feedback to go towards the latter. Thankfully OPR games dont require you to use their models and there's hundreds of talented creators out there, there's bound to be ones perfect to everyone's liking :)

Joshua Saffy

And that definitely is great about opr, still going to subscribe for the rules but I'm gonna put the minis in hold. Personally, from what I've seen, Artisan guild has the best balance between style and structure.

Joshua Saffy

There's a lot of artists that strike a good balance though. Artisan Guild, Highlands miniatures, opr's older stuff, Vae victus. I think at this point they're starting to look goofy, almost like Legos. Especially the vampire undead. I was pretty disappointed about those ones

Samantha Riley

I agree the Chunky style looks bad. I have been collecting and printing the dwarfs so not too bad, but the modes in the welcome packs and stuff I’ve bought that are more detailed and delicate are amazing.! And if you are worried about breakage just use Siraya tech tenacious mixed 20:80 with their fast for modes that don’t snap anything off … bring back finer models!
