At the top of the post, you'll find concept art previews of some of our models releasing in May.

In May the Wood Elves' last protectors of the Heartwood get added to the force. The War Master is an Elf Hero that likes to show more than tell. While stalking from the cover of the forest, it's only in those final few seconds that the enemies of the wood elves get to see the war master's skill in terrain come into play, but by then it's too late. Conversely, the Forest Warden uses the trees to protect rather than attack, using his knowledge of cover to make his units almost impossible to take out while they hide among the branches. The Forest Watch are the unseen elite called upon to protect the Heartwood's borders. They hide their position at all times until they strike, and when they do it's swift an deadly accurate, only to go unseen again when the enemy attempts to return fire. The Eternal Bug Riders join with the Forest Beetles to together make a force of weight attack from the sky. The force of the impact, the sting of toxic claws, and the pierce of their lances become a flurry of attacks that's hard to dodge. And the thick chitin on beetle and rider alike means return blows are more likely to bounce off than hit anything vital. The Eternal Guardian Ancient is the largest and oldest of the Eternals. Elves who's second life lasts long enough to become a Guardian Ancient are the most terrifying to behold. Their large and heavy form as capable to wield massive heavy hammers and spears as their guardian brethren, but with a lot more experience behind every swing.

Also in May the Orc Marauders showoff what happens when you survive a life battle and struggle with their Veterans. The Veteran Leader is a skilled fighter who's survived many a battle against outsider enemies and his own kin alike. Bringing the knowledge he's gained from his time in service to other units in his clan. The Orc Veterans are also survivors but still have a love for war and combat inside them. Experienced enough to know when to attack and when to hold back, but still able to unleash feats of total brutality when the situation allows them to let their true nature take over. The Veteran Biker Leader and Veteran Bikers are off road experts with the best machines their clans can procure. Their bikes updated with more armor, as well covering their selves with more armor as well. The only thing that doesn't change is the loud roar of their engines and war woops signaling the incoming mayhem that follows where ever they ride. The Battle Truck is the ingenious invention of the Orc Mechanics who only wanted to answer one question, "What if it had more guns?" With an upgraded arsenal the battle truck is a turret on wheels, not for delivering orcs to battle, but delivering explosions to the enemy.

The Human Empire Air Titan embodies the destructive force of the Tornado to sweep away the ranks of an opposing force. Magical Winds gale and push allies to speed up their advance across the battle. The great flying elemental hawk becomes a high and swift platform for an experienced mage to cast down from, like a god smiting sinners against his holy Empire.

For Age of Fantasy: Quest the Empire Cleric might be holy man, but not one that shirks a fight in defense of his duty or allies. Heavily Armored he can act as a barrier between the more fragile members of his party, able to withstand more impacts himself. Though when his friends do get hurt he can use the power of his faith to heal and rejuvenate them back to the goal at hand.

Humans aren't only good for defense though, as in May, Grimdark Future: Star Quest also gets a human hero with the HDF Berserker. Every mission needs it's distractors, and there's nothing more distracting than an angry axe wielding maniac. The HDF Berserker is quite direct when it comes team tactics. Find the enemy, get mad, and attack. While a simple solution, it's one that can be quite effective at allowing her team to get their jobs done when they've lost the element of surprise.

That's it for now, happy wargaming!
