April News & Previews #2

Launching this week on MyMiniFactory's Frontiers, The Whispers Below is an all new Narrative Campaign for Grimdark Future, that sees the scrappy Jackals exploring and looting in places that maybe they shouldn't be, while the Robot Legions wake up from slumber in their crashed starship. It allows you to play out the story of these two faction's interactions through 10 brand new missions. It also comes with four new Narrative Heroes. The two we'll be meeting this week are Ranjo, an outcast thief looking to prove his loyalty, and Xyros-Z320, A Robot Legions Researcher who remains curious even in his current predicament.

Launching on MyMiniFactory's Frontiers

  • All-New Narrative Campaign for Grimdark Future

Paizo Printables, in Partnership with our good friends over at Titan Forge, have launched their Tribe and Patreon featuring a slew of printable Pathfinder Characters and Creatures! Best of all? All of the models included in their initial release now have fully playable rules for Age of Fantasy, Age of Fantasy: Skirmish, Age of Fantasy: Regiments and Age of Fantasy: Quest! If you've ever wanted to see your favorite Pathfinder Heroes, Monsters, and Villains on the battlefield, now is your chance!

More OPR Stats will be made available with each month's release, letting you get twice the use from your expanding Pathfinder Collection!

At the top of post, you'll see some early previews of the what we are working on for May!

Ratmen Clans Operatives are the back bone of the Ratmen Clans Strike Forces. They're the first ones in on any mission and are generalists in many combat roles. They can be outfitted with Carbines and multiple special weapons for ranged engagements, or default to Close Combat Weapons for tighter area operations. Their Scurry faction ability means there's very few enemies they can't outpace on foot, getting in quick, doing their job, then making a rapid getaway.

Please remember that these are early WIP shots of the models and not the final versions of the models.

That's it for now, happy wargaming!

Please tell me there will be a unit of Ratmen on bikes. The world needs Biker Mice from Mars...

The Plutarkians would work as a renegade Saurian faction...

Hi, the Patron code for Whispers Below campaign from the April rewards post doesn't work, is that because of the early bird discount?

Small launch hiccup with the code - it should be working now. Very sorry about that!

The Ratmen are awesome and I like them a lot, especially the bionic Bits, breathing masks, their amor and weapons! 😍

Luka Žnidaršič · April 9, 2026

I love them! I've been waiting on the ratmen clans for a while now and I'm far from disappointed!

Digging the space rats. Can't just do "skaven but in space" because the scrappy thing is kind of locked down by goblins so giving them a little bit more apparent crafting skill is good

I really like the look of the rats. They have a ragtag feeling without stepping on the goblins' toes. The triangular weapon barrels is an interesting idea that separates them from other factions, and the repeated use of circles is a nice thematic choice. My big question is where are the magazines for most of the weapons? Is it that semi-circular part near the handgrip or something else? I think weapons with a clear ammunition source feel a lot more believable, so maybe a quick lore bit about how these guns work would clear things up.

Theodoric Graham · April 8, 2026

I love them! My only critique is that the swords look very similar to the HDFs, not sure if it's intentional or if these are WIP. Either way still love them and can't wait to print these!

R
Richard Ressa · April 8, 2026

Love these! Can we get some guys with rat prosthetics? Or some funky scavenged cyberware? Regardless, cant wait for the upcoming releases!

Quick! Swipe my card before the wife notices! Space rats 🐀

monsh · April 8, 2026

I love the idea of the ratmen, but these seem almost too predictable. I think it's the head. I'd almost prefer to see something with a little touch of 'alien' influence rather than a typically terrain rodent. Either way, I'll still print/play them.

J
Jesse Montalvo · April 8, 2026

Omg they look great no note they look perfect the way they are. I'm already planning white rats with red eyes with green metallic armor. Take my money OPR ! 🐀
