LIGHT WARJACK VARIANT SCULPT ADD-ONS UNLOCKED!
almost 5 years ago
– Mon, Mar 16, 2020 at 01:04:22 PM
Greetings Warcasters!
Just past our midway point through this campaign, we have passed yet our tenth stretch goal, unlocking the light warjack variant sculpt Add-Ons for each faction. Each variant will feature a different pose with other different aesthetic details to provide more variation in the forces you take to the battlefield.
Going forward, the light warjack included in the Command Group Starter set will be referred to as version (A) and the variant will be version (B). For instance the Dusk Wolf in the Marcher Worlds starter is ‘Dusk Wolf A’ and the variant sculpt will be ‘Dusk Wolf B’. Once we unlock the five new weapons for each light warjack (which we’re getting very close to), the new weapons will be included with version B warjacks while the weapons in the starters will be included with the version A warjacks, when purchased separately. Weapon packs (without warjacks) will also be available.
The light warjack variant sculpts will be available as alternate selections for the additional warjacks in the Full Battle Force and Master of Space and Time reward tiers and can be Added-On to any pledge with a Command Group Starter Set for $30.
Up next is the Digital Concept Art Book and following that, five new warjack weapons that will be added to all rewards eligible for Faction Stretch Goals!
Thank you for your continued support!

THE DEFININITIVE STRETCH GOAL REWARD BREAKDOWN
almost 5 years ago
– Mon, Mar 16, 2020 at 01:04:02 PM
Greetings Warcasters!
We’ve come a long way since we hit our funding goal and we’ve unlocked quite a few stretch goals. With the various pledge levels, factions and shipping waves, we’ve seen a number of question regarding just what exactly will be included with each reward tier. So, I've laid it all out here in one place with some accompanying explanations to address related questions, which will hopefully make everything easier to comprehend than the endless scroll of graphics on the campaign page. We’ll update this list with each new stretch goal we unlock during the remainder of the campaign.
A few additional notes:
In an effort to balance the added value of the reward levels against each other, Skirmish Battle Force and Master of Time and Space rewards have had more items added.
Add-On stretch Goals are not listed below because they are not automatically included with a pledge. Only stretch goal items and benefits that are automatically included with a pledge are listed below.
Faction Stretch Goals and Universal Stretch Goals are items added to your reward total in addition to the items your reward includes.
Contents of the Command Group Starter sets are locked and cannot be swapped for other items.
In an effort to be as thorough and precise as possible, this document is super long! We can’t stop you from reading the whole thing if that's how you want to spend you weekend, but if you just want to check the reward level you backed at, scroll down to your reward’s section and read the details. And if you do catch an error on our part, please send us a note through the Kickstarter messenger so that we don't miss it in the comments scroll and can correct it right away.
Thanks!

ISA WALLPAPER UNLOCKED! PLUS, SUDAL STATS AND PLAY MAT PREVIEW!
almost 5 years ago
– Mon, Mar 16, 2020 at 01:01:03 PM
Greetings Warcasters!
Yesterday evening we made it to 300 Retweets and achieve yet another Micro Goal, unlocking the Iron Star Alliance Wallpaper! Just click on the link below for your desired size:
As well, the stat card data for Voitek Sudal, Bounty Hunter, was posted at Warcaster.com earlier today. If you’re trying out the rules, add this exciting Faction stretch goal model to your force and see what sort of mayhem he can bring!
Last, we wanted to give you a preview of the Arc Geyser fabric play mat. The play mat features a geyser platform in the middle of a desert landscape pocked with natural arc fissures. It will be marked with locations corresponding to objective points in the scenarios in the rulebook to facilitate easy set up.
You can Add-On the Arc Geyser play mat at the special Kickstarter price of $45. After the pledge manager closes, the Arc Geyser will be available for $65, so don’t miss this special pricing available only during the Kickstarter campaign and following pledge manager.
Zoomed in and cropped.
We’re just over $10k away from our next exciting stretch goal! Thank you for sharing this project and for your support!

VOITEK SUDAL, BOUNTY HUNTER ADD-ON UNLOCKED!
almost 5 years ago
– Mon, Mar 16, 2020 at 01:00:52 PM
Greetings Warcasters!
We're not yet half-way through this campaign yet, but having just crossed $325k in funding, we have unlocked the first Wild Card Hero Add-On, Voitek Sudal, Bounty Hunter! We posted some lore and highlights on Sudal back in the second update that you can check out here if you missed it: UPDATE 2
This also puts us in reach of a series of exciting stretch goals that will unlock variant warjack sculpts as Add-Ons and will also enhance your rewards with more warjack weapon options.
FULL BATTLE FORCE REWARDS UPDATE
Kickstarters are complicated. And while we have endeavored to make sure all of our reward packages are compelling, it has come to our attention that the value we had thought we were building into the Full Battle Force reward tier falls short of other reward tiers that may receive more stretch goal rewards due to having multiple Command Group Starters. So, we want to fix that and ensure that the Full Battle Force presents the value we intended.
To that end, backers of the Full Battle Force will receive all of the Wild Card Heroes unlocked during this campaign for FREE. No need to Add-On for Voitek Sudal, that is now part of the Full Battle Force Stretch Goal Rewards. And if we unlock Captain Jax Redblade at $425k (which seems likely), that model will also be added to the Full Battle Force Rewards. And a third Wild Card hero is lurking out at $550k — he’ll also become part of the Full Battle Force reward package, if unlocked.
As well, we’re going to double up the new warjack weapons that unlock at $400k. Instead of one set, backers of the Full Battle Force will receive two sets.
These reward enhancements should put the Full Battle Force inline with the value we had intended it to have. If you have backed at this reward, you don’t need to do anything, we’ll handle all the extra rewards during fulfillment. Thank you for your feedback that has helped us to adjust this reward to best benefit our backers.
And thank you for your support!

STAFF SHOWDOWN LIVE STREAM! PLUS, HERO LORE!
almost 5 years ago
– Mon, Mar 16, 2020 at 01:00:41 PM
Greetings Warcasters!
Going live as of 10 am PST, we'll be live streaming a staff showdown of Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika. Tune in to our Twitch channel or Facebook to see how this skirmish will play out. And please share the links! The more views we can get on the game, the sooner we’ll reach those next stretch goals!
Yesterday, we posted the rules data for the faction heroes up on the Game Play page of Warcaster.com. So today, we thought we’d share some of the lore behind these characters as well as a few highlights of what each of them does on the battlefield.
Justicar Voss—Alliance Hero
The forces of the ruthlessly expansionistic Iron Star Alliance persistently push into the territorial holdings of their rivals. As new worlds and systems are conquered, the Alliance appoints governors and justicars to bring them into alignment with the dictates of the Septarchs and the Supreme Concordiat. While the governors rule these new territories, it falls upon the justicars to bring them to heel. Judge, jury, and executioner over the territories they are appointed to civilize, the justicars and the Paladin forces they command represent the judicial authority of the Alliance. Few are as effective as Justicar Voss. Young for an appointment of such gravitas, Voss is arrogant and ambitious to a fault, but few who have seen the sword-theurge in battle can blame the Septarchs for their faith in his capabilities.
As a theurge, Justicar Voss can generate and control minor mechanikal-effects. These effects are represented by his suite of Attack Modes which he can use to empower every strike of his deadly Arc Blades.
Voss is a relentless fighter and he can move up to 2” each time he destroys an enemy.
Voss is an unpredictable foe. While charged, his Void Shifter rule grants him +1 ARM and enables him to be repositioned anywhere within 2” when he is hit by an enemy attack. Furthermore, his Void Jumper rule enables him to spike to ignore all damage from an attack and be placed anywhere within 8” of his current location.
Voss wears Paladin Compound Armor which gives it bonus ARM (Armor) against explosion damage.
Hierotheos Raxis—Continuum Hero
The discorporeal dead of the Consilio Mortuorum are generally considered to be the ascended masters of the Aeternus Continuum. While venerated and revered for their knowledge and contributions to the sect, these ancient shades are for the most part relegated to the sepulchral halls beneath the Continuum’s temple complexes, contacted only when the Advocati require their council. Raxis, however, serves on as a Hierotheos, a sacred messenger of the Aeternus Continuum. An agent and ranking envoy of the cult, Raxis moves between the great temples coordinating divine works and spreading dark truths across the Thousand Worlds.
Hierotheos Raxis can channel Furies like a Weaver. Additionally, while he is in play your Rack hand size is increased by one Cypher card.
Raxis can spike to use his Thanotech Reclaimer special rule which returns a Cypher card from your discard pile to your hand.
Raxis possesses a Kinetic Field that while charged, grants Raxis and friendly models within 5” of him cover.
Raxis’ floating sarcophagus is equipped with a Soul Grinder spray weapon.
Artemis Fang—Marcher Worlds Hero
Artemis Fang is one of those rare warriors who is known to her enemies almost as well as she is to the Rangers and freedom fighters she serves alongside of. Possessing a steely nerve, deadly skill, and the powers of a true born theurge, Fang is a gun mage, a member of an ancient tradition whose origins are lost to history. She moves through combat like a living maelstrom of destruction, empowering the hail of gunfire she unleashes with potent arcane energies. Though few who meet her in battle live to tell the tale, the stories told by those who do only add to her legend.
As a gun mage and theurge, Artemiss Fang can generate and control minor mechanikal-effects. These effects are represented by her suite of Attack Modes which he can use to empower every shot fired from her Arclock Pistols. Each of the mechanikal pistols’ three barrels can be used to channel a different arcane effect.
While charged, her pistols’ Smart Locks enable her to ignore cover.
Fang can spike in battle to attack a second time with each of her pistols.
We hope you enjoyed this update! Thank you for your support!
