April News & Previews #3
This week we celebrated the 10th Anniversary of One Page Rules! What started in April 2014 as a project to see if a complex wargame experience could be condensed into a single page has grown into a vibrant, enthusiastic, and amazing community. And after all this time, we’re still committed to creating free and accessible games for everyone to enjoy.
We are truly grateful for all the support you’ve given us over these past 10 years and for believing in OPR, whether you've just joined us or have been with us from the start. We’re humbled each time we see people playing the games, hosting events, and painting our models. It’s thanks to our community that we can keep working on this project and doing what we love.
The 10th edition of the OPR Writing Jam is over, thank you everyone for participating! We had an amazing turnout with 65 stories submitted! There's just a few more days to vote for your favorites, good luck to the writers!

The Vampiric Undead Zombie Dragon breathes death onto the living from above. It's patchwork body is as tough to take down, and the sight of it is a terror to behold to the enemies of the Vampiric Undead.
Please remember that these are early WIP shots of the models and not the final versions of the models.
That's it for this week, happy wargaming!

I was hoping for the Skeleton Dragon but this is nice too!
The Skeleton Dragon is the new loyalty reward coming soon.
Really wished to have missed this one instead of something from months before (since I already have 2 Zombie dragons from another manufactorer ;))
I can hardly wait to print and paint the dragon. - hopefully the model is small enough to print on my little Photon. - I don't like the tongue hanging out either - it's just a concept, so I hope the dragon doesn't stay so two dimensional (all straight on one plane). A bit more dynamic would be nice.
Dragon looks fun, would have loved to see some more High El f Fleets.
A little unrelated question, but will we get more lore stuff like world book for Grimdark Future? It was fantastic to read and I really want to get more into the world. You could even do TTRPG with amount of daily life lore that was in your book
While we don't have anything specific to announce at this time, we do have more plans for our Lore in the future.
Dragon looks awesome can't wait for the final version!
I love the head armor for both the dragon and the rider! I could see where an alternate, more standard zombie head would be desirable, though.
That head Crest is an bit much. Hopefully we have some different options
Love it! can't wait for the final version.
Unfortunately such a rigid pose on the zombie dragon. The bat dragon was so dynamic and sleek, this dragon looks like a table
Dah, it's early concept...
The stiched-together optic of the dragon is fantastic, but will there be an alternate head option? Looks a bit like a dinosaur :D
I love that the New range of 2d 3D minis Can enter the painting contest
I'm really looking forward to the zombie dragon but I can't say I'm a fan of the tongue out like that in this design. I understand that these are wips, but I hope that if the tongue makes it into the final design, that there is an option to print without it.
Wow super. If I may ask the sword be a bit longer. Thank you keep up the great work.
I think it's just the angle my bad pic to right. Super big mini.
