September Preview + Roadmap
In September we continue the release of the Human Empire and will debut of the Dwarf Guilds, a faction we are extremely excited to show you. Here is what you can expect next month and beyond.
September New Releases
For the Human Empire our hero is the Captain on Pegasus, able to lead troops from a birds-eye view and quickly get to where he's needed most. The Mercenaries are a flexible elite unit representing the forces from outside the Human Empire that you can bring to bear with melee and ranged options. The Beamer Wagon brings magical support and pinpoint destruction while the Mortar and Rocket Battery provides less precise but more explosive results.
Two heroes lead the first release of the Dwarf Guilds, the Champion with their wide selection of weapons, and the Rune Master who's runes can provide their forces with powerful buffs or bring destruction down on their foes. The skilled and versatile Warriors can be equipped with a wealth of weapons and tools, including medical training that makes the already hardy dwarves even more durable and the Thunder Support brings the heavy weapons to the battle. All of these units can make good use of the APC to get their otherwise slow troops safely to where they're needed.
Our legendary model next month is the Human Empire Chimeric Summoning. This massive diorama presents five Battle Mages combining their elemental magic in order to summon a powerful Chimera to the battlefield.
In September we're also going to be releasing three terrain sets. Two for the Ratmen, and one for the Blessed Sisters. For FTL we're going to be releasing the Empire Fleet.
For our 2D offerings, the Duchies of Vinci 4th set will be releasing as well as the Plague Daemons 2nd set. and you'll also receive the 2D Empire fleet as well as terrain sets for the two factions and our Space Terrain set. The 2D models are a fast and affordable way to get some great looking armies on the table. They're perfect for trying out a new game or a new faction.
With the 3rd edition of our games coming out soon, you'll also get access to the 3rd edition betas as well as a sampling of armies for each game to try them out.

Project Roadmap
October will be the final month for the Human Empire, but they're leaving on a high note. The General on Dragon will take flight bringing terror and awe to their foes. They'll be supported by the Cleric, Hunters, Guard Knights, and the magical Hurricane Wagon.
The Dwarf Guilds will also take to the skies in October with the Jetpack Champion and Jetpack Warriors. They'll also gain access to the Elites as well as some powerful dwarven engineered destruction: Artillery and the Dwarf Guilds Attack Vehicle,
You'll also be getting a brand new Tier 2 Welcome Pack in October featuring the Ratmen and the Change Daemons.
With the Vampiric Undead releasing in November, we're happy to show you a concept art preview of one of the faction's iconic units: The Necromancer.
Here is the roadmap for the next few months:
October - Human Empire & Dwarf Guilds + New Welcome Pack
November - Vampiric Undead & Dwarf Guilds
December - Vampiric Undead & Dwarf Guilds + New Loyalty Rewards
That's it for now, happy wargaming!

When do ghost undead get models? I need me some spookyboys
Will there ever be an equivalent to factions created in Total Warhammer? Such as Kislev-->Frost Kindgom, Vampire Coast-->Vampirates/Zombie Pirates, Cathay-->Great Eastern Kindgom, Norsca-->Barbarian Tribes.
Well, I’m still hoping for some Space Ratmen after the space Dwarfs…
I think I must have missed plague Daemons set #2 in the 2D print rewards. August seemed to be #1 and September appears to be #3.
The dwarfs looks more like gnomes in my eyes. But I am still looking forward to see them printed. The look like fun faction.
Hi There :), I have just joined the patreon and I'm amazed at all the models they all look amazing, Currently printing my first to armies to have my first battle 0.0 ever.(I am a complete newbie to both OPR and WARHAMMER 40k - SO I don't know what I'm doing ) ANYWAY XD I just wanted to ask here I don't see any armies for Prime brothers and Battle Brothers these factions have interested me the most and I'm VERY excited to try them out. I have no problem waiting if they haven't been released yet just wanted to know if I'm missing them or if they are planned to come out still ? Or come out at all :) - If anyone has any incites PLEASE lemme know :) THANK YOU in advance.
Those factions haven't been released yet, but we hope to release models for every faction in our games, eventually.
Proportions on the dwarves are off, the arms are way too long. They come off looking like having gorilla arms. Too bad, they looked great
I find that most Dwarf sculpts are too skinny. Or they look too close to Halfling proportions. The way I like them they are a bit bulky but proportional. I think these are ok proportionally, but I see your issue.
Will there be rules for the epic model? I don’t see them in the human empires list
The beast will have stats, yes.
Will there be an version of the summoned beast out side of the circle.
The beast is separate from the platform. So you can use it without the platform. I don't think it has stats yet though...
Dwarves! Let's Go! The Void is in our Veins!
You might want to get a doctor to check that out
It has to be said, compared to other companies OPR does the best faces.
In my opinion you should check out last sword miniatures
Sorry if this comes across in the wrong way, but I'm glad the Empire has come to an end. The models look great and the wide range of options provided is fine as long as you like humans, I'm just not a fan. On the other hand the Dwarfs look like there going to be a lot of fun and I'm also excited for the Vamps to make a showing (yes you could technical say they're both modified humans....but its a blood big modification to the gene pool).
I agree on this. All these choices...I'll choose NOT Humans in every setting.
These are the squats we deserved.
I have had a look at the Dwarf Guild models and have to say that I am really excited to print and paint these guys. While there are plenty of Dwarven models out there, these ones scream to me DANGER, DARKNESS, DWARVES!!! ROCK AND STONE!!! Needless to say, I am happy and the only thing that would make them better is a BOSCO unit haha.
Papsikels, Ghamak, and others have done the not-GW dwarves already. Rebel Guerrillas would have given you the chance to do any kind of aliens or humans, or a mix. It's an army that sort of fits Mantic's Rebs or a Rebellion force for Star Wars gaming. Plenty of opportunities to go in your own direction with models. Instead, we get the most overdone army since Space Marines (Guard has too much variety built in from the start). You managed to make the Blessed Sisters recognizable and unique at the same time. These dwarf sculpts are just uninspired retreads of the offerings of other major digital sci-fi sources from the past year with no original hook except for lots of weapon sculpts to match all of the OPR options in every army. I'm staying in because I want to finish Human Empire, so maybe the later months will be more of what I'm looking for.
I mean they pick the armies based on community polls. so enough people wanted OPR dwarves to tip the scales
Loving the Dwarves so far. Never was a fan of the Human Empires, but I like your take on them. Looking forward to some OPR Vampires.
Love the proportions of the Dwarves! Such well designed minis, really awesome to see them in the grimdark setting
Love the Empire models, but i would realy prefer Dwarfs in fantasy setting.
lucky for you there are probably 100 sets of those already 👍
Pleaaaase don’t make the dwarves stumpy ! They look like droplets like old school fantasy dwarves . Heroic scale dwarves please 🙏🏻
Love the Chimeric Summonig! Except the lack of ground clerance ;) I might take a page from the Dwarf Guilds and make a six-wheeler. Or mount it on a Bear Titan?
Holy Moly!!! This release was awesome, but the announcement even more!!! I am so eager to see those vampires, not to mention that still my favorite release was the Egyptian undead. Now.. the Dwarf Guild! You blew my mind!!! A question! Being Empire one of my favorite armies and the octopus my spirit animal, what's with it? Why an octopus? Love to hear the story (sorry if I missed any bit of past info where you possibly explained it)
The Empire has a 5 Elements theme and the octous is the Water Animal. Which extends to the cannons (navy) and the tank (steam).
So excited for vampires!
dwarf!
Iam so looking forward to the Dwarves!
Those dwarfs are looking nice! Exciting times for sure.
Human - Mercenaries are the first things in the line that have really made me want to print or field this army. Nice job guys. Need more of this
Hmm what about the Empire Guard Knights though? Are they forgotten or am I missing something?
They are not forgotten, do not worry.
I'm so hyped for space dwarfs. Cannot wait to set them up against bug hives :3
Squa..err..Vot..err..DWARFS!
"You'll also be getting a brand new Tier 2 Welcome Pack in October featuring the Ratmen and the Change Daemons." So, literally the next Welcome Pack is going to be MY ARMIES, and I only just joined!?!? Fantastic!
Yes!YES!!
Who are the little friends?!
Each of our armies now come with some optional mascot / sidekicks you can print.
👀😱
I've been waiting for this month for two/three months. Thank you for THE DWARFS!!
