IT'S WARJACK WEDNESDAY! SHINY!

Greetings Warcasters!
It's Warjack Wednesday, and we have excellent news to report!
Wave 2 freight shipments bound for Asia and Australia left our warehouse yesterday along with all individual shipments that fall into the 'Rest of World' category. Today, freight for Canada shipped out. And within the next few days, our largest freight shipment for the UK/EU will ship. After that, we'll wrap our domestic orders within just a few days more! By next week, heavy warjacks will be stomping onto hobby desks all over the place, so clear some space!
On that note, here are a couple pics of a freshly-coated Nemesis by Privateer Staff Painter, Jordan Lamb.
With this though, comes a confession of a not-so-excellent mistake that was just brought to our attention within the last couple hours. Like the Scourge that eviscerated our production and pack-out process of the first wave, the Nemesis lives up to its name. It appears the images of the Displacer and Starfall Cannon weapons were transposed on their respective stat cards. So for those of you who may be assembling a Nemesis soon, you'll note the weapon corresponding to the image on the card is keyed for a different hard point. So trust the model, not the image on the card. You can see the incriminating evidence that was sent to us, below:
Our apologies for this error. The Aeternus Continuum seems intent to sew chaos and confusion across the Thousand Worlds, as is their way. We will keep a sharper eye on them in the future.
Until next time, be safe and well!

IT'S WARJACK WEDNESDAY! SHIPPING WAVE 2 FOR INTERNATIONAL BACKERS -- PACKING NOW!
over 4 years ago
– Tue, Sep 22, 2020 at 06:28:06 AM
Greetings Warcasters!
It's Warjack Wednesday and I've got your quick progress report and previews!
The headline pretty much says it all! Shipping Wave 2 orders for international backers are being packed right now. International freight is expected to ship out by next week with domestic U.S. orders in the following week. So the wait for Wave 2 won't be long now!
RANGER INFILTRATORS
Now for a quick preview of a new Marcher Worlds squad that will be featured in an upcoming Kickstarter campaign. Armed with magnetic limpet mines, Ranger Infiltrators are highly mobile anti-warjack operatives that can plant their explosives on a target then sprint away to safety before they detonate. (Video is long but shows all three squad members.)
Until next time, be safe and well!

IT'S WARJACK WEDNESDAY! ZENITH PREVIEW!

Greetings Warcasters!
It's Warjack Wednesday! Time for updates and previews!
Progress continues on fulfillment of rewards. Wave one orders for Australia and New Zealand were delivered and processed before we even knew it — everything should have shipped out last week.
In the next couple days we'll be finishing up the casting for the last couple models in Wave Two, and then backer orders will start getting packed. We're in the home stretch — heavies and heroes on the way soon!
In the meantime, let's look at something cool! Featured below is the 3D render and concept artwork for the Zenith — the Empyrean's answer to 'light vehicles'. While it's not crewed, it will share characteristics of vehicles, including a customizable weapon hard point and maneuver rules. And, there will be a character version!
Until next time, be safe and well!

IT'S WARJACK WEDNESDAY! MEET THE CURATOR!

Greetings Warcasters!
It's Warjack Wednesday, you know the drill!
Progress continues on the manufacturing and packing of rewards for shipping wave two.
We received word this morning from our fulfillment partner in Asia that the shipment is due to arrive in port in late September. Despite being loaded back in early August, the ship sat for some time and only started its voyage at the beginning of September. We'll make an announcement as soon as we have confirmation that it has arrived in port.
For wave two, all international orders will ship out to freight forwarders first to cut down on some of the lengthy wait-time between deliveries. Thank you for your patience as everything makes its way to its final destination.
NOW MEET THE CURATOR...
Featured below is the concept artwork for upcoming Wild Card hero, Harlan Sek, aka 'The Curator'. As a smuggler of black market artifacts, Sek is a wanted man in any Alliance or Marcher territory. But he has strong ties to the Aeternus Continuum, who pay him handsomely for the ancient relics they seek, and he also deals occasionally with Empyrean forces, who are just as interested in keeping the long-forgotten artifacts out of the hands of humanity.
Below, Harlan Sek oversees an archaeological excavation of a massive piece of ancient technology when the operation is set upon by unexpected Empyrean forces. Things get complicated when you try to play both sides...
Until next time, be safe and well!

Greetings Warcasters!
As progress commences on production and pack out of the next shipping wave, I'm very pleased to announce that emails are currently sending out via Backerkit informing backers that the Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika Digital Concept Art Book is available to download. Art Director Mike Vaillancourt and Graphic designer, Andrew Hess, went above and beyond to bring you the most comprehensive collection of Warcaster concept art in the known universe. You'll see the concepting process from beginning to end on each of the factions, including the upcoming Empyreans. We all hope you enjoy this lens into the creative process behind the miniatures designs for Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika.
If you happened to miss our recent Riot Quest: Wintertime Wasteland Kickstarter, there's still time to get an order in through our pre-order store (closing September 4th). You can check out Riot Quest at RiotQuest.com and see all the available models and previews at our Riot Quest Kickstarter campaign page.
Until next time, be safe and well!
