April Previews + Roadmap
Hi everyone, here's a preview of all the new stuff you'll be getting next month, plus a roadmap of what you can expect in the near future!
April New Releases
In April we're starting with the first wave of our new Duchies of Vinci models, plus the continuation of our Alien Hive army with lots of new models. We're also going to be releasing our first loyalty rewards models, which are insanely huge (we'll share pictures of them in a separate post in the coming days).
On top of that we're also going to be releasing a unit of Dwarf Berserkers, a Battle Sisters Walker, 88 new bases, 2 new rulers, 4 new dice and 12 new objective markers!
For 2D print we're going to be releasing the Sky-City Dwarves army and the Artisans Gang, and on the gaming side we're going to keep working on our skirmish adventure game Sellswords (as well as releasing rules for the Duchies of Vinci army).
3D Print Rewards (44 models):
Duchies of Vinci - Captain x2
Duchies of Vinci - Assassin x1
Duchies of Vinci - City Guard x10

Battle Sisters - Attack Walker x1

The above is only the new stuff that's being added next month, so you're also getting a ton of other welcome pack minis, 50% discount code, games, and much more!
Project Roadmap
The past month has been kind of crazy, and as per the update from the 11th of March, there have been some unforeseen delays that have thrown our release schedule a bit off course.
Additionally we've also been getting a ton of requests from people to expand on our existing armies, so we're currently seeing about the best way to adjust our production so that we can give everyone full armies instead of only a few units for each.
With those things in mind, we're going to be starting off with continuous releases of the Alien Hives until we have them all done, and we'll be starting off with releasing more Mummified Undead models in July. This means that you'll be getting 3 armies (instead of only 2) with each release for a while, so even more value for the same price!
Since things have been so rocky with production, we also don't want to overpromise things, so we're going to only be showing off the roadmap for the next 3 months from now on, instead of for the next 6 months as it used to be. This should hopefully mean that the roadmap becomes a more reliable measure of what to expect in the future.
Here's a breakdown by month:
May - Duchies of Vinci & Alien Hives
June - Duchies of Vinci & Alien Hives
July - Duchies of Vinci, Alien Hives & Mummified Undead, New Loyalty Rewards
That's it for now, happy wargaming!

these Duchies models are amazing, but what are they?
They are an original army made by OPR, though you can use them as proxies for other human armies in one way or another. :)
The best thing about you doing these models is the ability to create a whole army just to have on hand. Not to mention that this ability has really stepped up my painting game. Keep up the good work, and excuse me while I print off more minis.
Do we have an ETA for the TAO 3d models? Im really excited about those :p
No ETA on those, and with the Starhost delays it might be a while longer than we thought. :(
Love it! I’m curious if there’s any chance of muskets or other firearms for the line troops?
No, firearms are not in the theme of the army, though you will see gunpowder weapons for artillery units and such.
Absolutely love the New Alien Hive models, They are what brought me to your patron to begin with, I was too late back then, so I picked up the bundle and now Excited to continuing building out the army.
Wow those alien hive models!! Amazing!!
The Duchies of Vinci look cool, steampunk style knights. The alien hives is Grimdark Future, so I assume Duchies of Vinci is Age of Fantasy? None of the army lists really seem to fit, but I'm not that familiar with all of them either.
Right now the Duchies of Vinci don't have rules, but they are for Age of Fantasy. We'll be releasing the rules soon. :)
Ooh can we have some melee arms for yhe duchy of vin ci army please?
Whilst we have plans for a melee focused unit, it won't be part of this initial release. :)
I’m in
Show us those Alien bases! I have a whole army to base and I need to know if I'm buying another jug of resin for it.
We are currently doing the finishing touches on the bases + game aids, and will be showing those off soon. :)
Fascinating. I remember those Hammer Wars days. Then the first days of Patreon, with no 3d miniatures in mind, just great games and a giant creator with a community of gamers ready to back. I had to leave Patreon and gaming and miniatures due to a variety of issues. I came back in december 2020, and gods of chaos, dragons and elves be praised, you take on OPR full time, armies of miniatures and games galore. I salute you, sir. You rule.
I mean "Havoc Gods", not Gods of Chaos.
Alien Hives again? What about Scifi-Saurians? Wasnt this the plan?
The artist that was supposed to work on those had some unexpected issues, so those were pushed back for a while, but we'll let you know more once things are back on track. :)
Fantastic stuff! I'm loving what you're doing!
You're on fire with all this, Gaetano. My favorite Patreon creator and more favorite-r every month. One request: as you continue to develop Sellswords, please do what you can to differentiate it in more ways from Rangers; that's practically a one-man project, even if he has been very successful with his game designs. I love the OPR takes on Grannie's games, but I'd rather that Sellswords didn't poach too much from Rangers. Hope you can understand where I'm coming from on that. :-)
This kicks ass!
amazing work and congrats on going full time with OPR! Sad that the Starborne Sauruses got pushed back :( was really looking forward to them.
Amazing!!!!
