Seeds of War
During the latter part of last year, I hoped to get spaceships sculpted for the various races to support DRM's Hostile Stars project. That happened, though not without problems. Amendments needed to be made and this whole process was dragging on. To add to my woes, it also meant that any other projects, including new models for SoW, were delayed due to the fact that we had only one sculptor. This has now been changed and I have more sculptors helping out with the sculpting to get things to where I want us to be. Due to this change, design and sculpting will be ahead of schedule in the medium to long term and any further delays to this process, from design to releasing stage, should be reduced in a big way. So while I work to achieve this goal here is what's happened so far:
Pax Arcadian Forces.
Models, such as the Hunter (above), that had been previewed, have been reviewed and amended where necessary and are presently at different stages of the casting process. Any models that needed repairs or changes have now been overhauled and are no longer stuck in limbo, making way for new models, such as the fliers, which are currently being designed.
Kraytonian Forces.
A number of new units are being designed for the Kraytonians ranging from different mounted units to new infantry units. I also have plans for sculpting a different flyer on the scale of the Arkiten. More news to follow as work progresses.
Andrayada Forces.
I am currently looking at a number of new designs for the Andrayada which will show how they adapt to various situations on the battlefield. These models are at the design stage and work is progressing.
Skyth
There are a number of units in the pipeline, which will fill in the missing elements of the currently available force. Some are being sculpted and others are at design stage, mainly because I know what they should be doing but I can't quite picture how they should look yet. So more on that as work continues.
Terrain
It was mentioned in the forums that it would be nice to see new terrain. I have a number of new ideas that would look really cool on the battleground, and suffice to say some pieces have already been sculpted. It's very much a work in progress and I hope that the next few months will see more models being sculpted. However, the priority for future releases is for the above forces.
New Releases
There are a number of choices for the next release but I will only be able to confirm releases by the end of this week. The plan is to have something available just before the end of November at the latest.
Going Forward
As you can see, we are very busy behind the scenes and the topics in this newsletter are mainly about new models. I haven't even begun to speak about artwork, background and the website. These topics will follow. The purpose of this newsletter is mainly to clarify that Seeds of War hasn't been left behind and that the two projects, i.e. Hostile Stars and Seeds of War, are being worked on side by side.
