Greetings Warcasters!
It's Warjack Wednesday — time for progress updates and another preview of the shape of things to come.
As we reported last Friday, freight shipments arrived last week to our fulfillment partners in Canada and the UK (which also fulfills the EU). Orders to backers started shipping from both locations this week and should complete soon.
Freight shipments to our fulfillment partners in Asia and Australia/New Zealand arrived to their respective freight forwarders on August 10th. We're awaiting confirmation of their arrival at the fulfillment facilities and will update here as soon as we hear from them.
RAZORBAT RENDER
You've seen concept artwork for the forthcoming Razorbat light vehicle for the Marcher Worlds. This week, we've got a rendered rotational preview for you. Watch through the sequence to see the changes in weapon and crew options.
We'll deliver more progress updates and news as we have them. Until next time, be safe and well!

IT'S WARJACK WED -- (ahem) -- THURSDAY!

Greeting Warcasters!
It’s Warjack Wednesday, on a Thursday! (It’s been known to happen.) Time for a progress update and some show & tell.
As of last week, all domestic U.S. orders have been shipped. If you have not received a tracking number or your package, please message us directly so we can sort it out.
All international freight shipments are on their way to our fulfillment partners. Once they reach the fulfillment location, they will be shipped out and a tracking number will be sent to you from the fulfiller.
We’re currently casting models and packing kits for wave 2 right now. Soon, those will start getting packed into reward shipments.
Also, the Arc Geyser fabric play mat has reached port. We’re just waiting for it to clear customs and get delivered to our warehouse.
Preview Time — Raker
This week, we’ve got a preview of the Raker, an Aeternus Continuum squad attachment that will be featured in the next block of Warcaster releases.
Stalking the battlefield like a predatory hunting beast, the Raker is a synthetic savage created by the Aeternus Continuum to support its Vassal forces in battle. Along with a suite of sophisticated sensory aparati, the bestail simaculum relies on cloaking technology and powerful pneumatic mandibles to engage its prey up close.
The Raker is on a 50mm base.
Until next time, be safe and well!

IT'S WARJACK WEDNESDAY! SHIPPING UPDATES AND SCIENCE TIME!

Greeting Warcasters,
It's Warjack Wednesday and we've got updates, news and a load of links along with a spiffy new character preview!
We are pleased to announce that all orders in the first shipping wave of Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika will be shipped by tomorrow! Bulk international shipments are on their way to the freight forwarders that will get them to their respective fulfillment locations. We'll keep you updated on their progress in the coming weeks. Thank you for your patience as our schedule has run over our expected shipping timeline by a few days. We'll be heading straight into the fulfillment of the second shipping wave now, and once we have a clear view of when those items will ship, we'll let you know.
If you are an Aeternus Continuum backer and happened to order the Microbrew Marauder exclusive, that model shipped with the standard Marauder card. But we'll be slipping a Microbrew Marauder card into all of the Wave 2 shipments that include Aeternus Continuum models to help complete your collection, so watch for that in your next shipment.
The Warcaster Rune font went out via emailed download link through Backerkit yesterday. We know of at least one person who has already deciphered the hidden messages throughout the Warcaster rulebook, where deep lore and 'Easter Eggs' abound. Have you found any yet?
DOCTOR MYRA HURST
For this week's preview of the future of Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika, we'd like to introduce you to an upcoming Wild Card Hero, Doctor Myra Hurst.
Doctor Myra Hurst is a gifted theurge and humanity's foremost expert on the nature of Arcanessence. Despite hailing originally from the Iron Star Alliance, she has a number of contacts within Empyrean space. The esoteric nature of her work has brought her into conflict with the Alliance's bureaucracy, which considers her something of a rogue agent and sometime asset.
She works for the Alliance and Empyreans.
GEN CON ONLINE VIDEOS
If you missed our video content posted during Gen Con Online this past weekend, we've got you covered! You can check out the Visual Development of Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika with Art Director Mike Vaillancourt and myself, HERE. (Please forgive my pandemic hat.) And you can check out Convention Event Coordinator Travis Marg and Matthew Wanke stream a showdown between the Marcher Worlds and the Iron Star Alliance, HERE. And as if that isn't enough Warcaster goodness, you can get staff painter Jordan Lamb's expert painting tips as he gets his paint on a Scourge, HERE!
MARCHER CRANE HOBBY BLOG
Part 2 of Michael Kessler's reverse-engineered, detailed step-by-step tutorial on the building the Marcher Worlds crane terrain piece posted today over in Privateer Press News.
Until next time, thank you for support and all the kind messages about the game and models! Be safe and well.

IT'S WARJACK WEDNESDAY! CHECK OUT THE INTERCEPTOR!

Greetings Warcasters!
It's Warjack Wednesday and time for a progress update and some show & tell!
We're nearly complete with the first shipping wave. We came up short last week on some Paladin Enforcer cards and had to go back on press, which stalled some orders that included Iron Star Alliance items, but the cards arrived yesterday and everything is finishing up now. If you haven't seen your tracking info email yet and you're in the U.S., it will likely show up in the next 24-48 hours. International backers won't receive tracking info until their items ship from our distribution partners, which we hope will not take too long, but do be aware that international shipping is currently unpredictable right now. We'll send an update when the shipments leave our warehouse and will keep you informed as we track them to our fulfillment partners.
To make up for the slight delay on the Paladins, I thought we'd show off a render of the Alliance Interceptor light vehicle that will be featured in a future Kickstarter campaign for Warcaster. If you saw our 2020 Keynote video, you got a sneak peak of the concept art and an illustration with a few Interceptors in pursuit of a Razorbat. Here, we've got a full rotation of the 3D model and if you watch through the whole thing, you'll see the different weapon and pilot options. (Note: the final flight stand will be transparent acrylic and we are currently designing a new 80 mm base for the light vehicles.)
Until next week, be safe and well!
