Greetings Warcasters!
The long holiday weekend threw off my schedule, so my apologies for being a day behind with this communication.
Progress continues on Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika! We're in the process of sending the many, many stat cards to print. And as well this week, we received the freshly printed Command Group starter box packaging. Here's a quick pic of the unassembled boxes:
Meanwhile, on the art and development side, we are working on the future of Warcaster. Here's a fantastic piece of artwork that was recently finished up that will appear in the upcoming Galaxy Lore cards. The image depicts an explosive clash between Iron Star Alliance forces and the Aeternus Continuum as the ISA tries to intercept a load of contraband cargo before the AC can get it onto their air ship.
We'll have more news next week as we continue with the production of Warcaster. Until then, be safe and well!

IT'S WARJACK WEDNESDAY! HOW ABOUT A LITTLE W.I.P.?

Greetings Warcasters!
It's Warjack Wednesday and time for your weekly dose of Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika news.
Production work continues on the models, full steam ahead. All models have entered the mastering stage or have progressed beyond, and bins full of metal parts are piling up!
We received our first shipment of Strike Dice this week and do have a small update regarding dice packs that were Added-On. Dice were sent in two shipments: one by air and the other by sea. We have plenty of dice in the air freight shipment that has already landed in our warehouse to cover all of our starters going out in the first shipment, but we may not have enough to cover all of the Add-On strike dice packs. If the sea shipment doesn't arrive before the first wave starts shipping, then some Strike Dice Add On packs will go out in the second shipment. If all of your rewards are set to arrive in the first shipment and you added-on dice, if we don't have them by the time we're ready to ship your rewards, then we'll send the dice on as soon as we have them, at our cost. With any luck, the sea shipment will arrive just in time, but this is just a heads up that some Strike Dice may go out with the second wave. This will not affect any dice in starters.
DOUG HAMILTION CROSSES SOME LINES
If you haven't seen it already, check out our Insider by staff sculptor, Doug Hamilton, where he shamelessly sells out his favorite faction just so he can get his paint on some Warcaster minis...

ARC SILO WORK-IN-PROGRESS
Resident terrain artist and art director, Danny Samuels, has been working hard on our first piece of Warcaster terrain — a modular Arc Silo set that we can't wait to be able to put our own Warcaster minis on! Arc silos are large storage containers that can store the fleeting resource for extended periods of time. We have imagined Arc silo facilities, with platforms connected by catwalks like you might see in other industrial complexes. These pieces are the first in what will be a modular system of terrain pieces that can be adapted to a variety of configurations. We can't wait to elevate our game with them! Check out some of the work-in-progress shots.
We will keep you posted on the Arc Silo progress as it develops!
Where ever you are, we hope you are safe and well!

WARJACK WEDNESDAY UPDATES AND A SNEAK PREVIEW: THE RAZORBAT!

Greetings Warcasters!
It's Warjack Wednesday: time for your weekly update on Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika progress!
While most of us continue to work remotely, there is much activity going on with Warcaster, both for the current project fulfillment as well as the future of the game.
This week, we received our shipment of freshly-printed Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika rulebooks! They're very shiny...
As well, the starter box stat cards were finalized, proofed and will be off to press at the end of this week. Here are a few samples of how the final layouts look:
Meanwhile, we have commenced rules creation, concepting, and sculpting of the the next phase of Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika, and we thought we'd share a sneak peek at what we've got underway. Among other surprises yet-to-be revealed, the next wave of Warcaster will introduce light vehicles. Each of these small craft will include at least one customizable weapon hard point and we are currently even toying with the idea of customizable pilots. Below is the Marcher Worlds Razorbat — a compact flying tank that will surely become a staple in the battle force of any Marcher warcaster.
We'll be sharing more in the weeks ahead while keeping you updated on our progress with the production and fulfillment of our first wave of Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika.
Until then, be safe and well, wherever you may be!

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ADJUSTMENT CHECK
over 4 years ago
– Thu, May 07, 2020 at 02:16:12 AM
Greetings Warcasters!
Progress continues on Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika. Our rulebooks are shipping to us tomorrow and a massive shipment of Strike Dice is set to board a plane at the beginning of next week. Everything is coming together and will soon be assembled into rewards at Privateer Press HQ!
INTERNATIONAL CONSOLIDATED SHIPPING ADJUSTMENTS
If you are an international backer and ordered items that will be shipped in both our first and second shipments, AND you selected the ‘Send my rewards in one shipment’ option in the Backerkit survey, then it’s time for one last look at your Backerkit account. Over the past 24 hours we have manually adjusted shipping totals by applying credits to any order that was consolidated or was being charged in excess of what it should for the region it was shipping to. Not all orders received an adjustment, depending on what had been ordered, but most did. Please take a moment to check on your shipping total and if your shipping does not look correct, please message us through Kickstarter so that we can look up your account to see if it was missed or the credit was applied incorrectly. We hope that you’ll be pleased with the adjustments as many were a significant savings compared to what was being calculated in Backerkit, and we don’t want anyone to have to pay more to ship anything than is necessary.
Credit cards will be charged around 4pm PST on Friday, so please do check soon and let us know if your account needs attention.
Thank you!
