November Preview + Roadmap
In November, we are excited to debut the first release of the Vampiric Undead with all the menace and terror they bring to the table. We also have the third release of the Dwarf Guilds, showcasing some of their offensive power with the berserkers and, of course, the tank!

November New Release
We lead off with the powerful and versatile Vampire Lord and Lady for the first month of the Vampiric Undead. These heroes offer a host of weapon options and special ability choices, and each comes with an optional companion. They lead legions of blood-drained Soldiers as they march to war, serving as both a food supply and human shields. The Bat Swarms they command can fly across the enemy lines to tie down essential targets while the Bat Beast follows behind to land with terror and destruction.
For the Dwarf Guilds, this month, they show their fury with the Berserker Veteran and the Berserkers. Combined, these offensive powerhouses can speed across the battle, delivering devastating blows, especially to larger models, vehicles, and monsters, with their Slayer ability! If you want to balance heavy offense and defense, the armored Hammer Elites bring both to the table, and when bigger guns are needed, the Dwarf Guilds Tank is a perfect choice.
The Legendary Model in November is the massive Beastmen Shaman Titan! A terrifying force in any battle, it is controlled by a powerful shaman. This towering magical titan will sweep through the enemy's lines.
November will also see the release of the Blessed Sisters Large terrain to be an impressive centerpiece to any wargaming table.
For our 2D releases, you'll see Ratmen - Set #2 as well as Change Daemons - Set #2 and both of those faction's terrain sets. You'll also receive the 2D Nomads fleet as well Space Terrain set. The 2D models are a great way to prepare armies for games quickly!
You'll also get 8 Game Missions and access to the betas for Grimdark Future: FTL and Age of Fantasy: Quest!

Project Roadmap
In December, the Vampiric Undead Necromancers will raise undead legions to aid their Vampire masters in battle, including the Skeleton Champion, Skeleton Guard, and Zombie Wolves. The Maiden Wagon, meanwhile, seduces and enchants the enemy forces as it speeds across the field.
The Dwarf Guilds will also be speeding across the fields in December with the Biker Champion, Bikers, and the Dwarf Guilds Trike. Behind them march the intimidating Powersuit Champion and Powersuits to show that the Dwarf Guilds are masters of crafting armor of all types.
The Dwarf Guilds will also bring some of their heaviest equipment to the battle in December with the Legendary Combat Excavator!
Here is the roadmap for the next few months:
December - Vampiric Undead & Dwarf Guilds + New Loyalty Rewards
January - Vampiric Undead & Dwarf Guilds
February - Vampirc Undead & Dwarf Guilds + New Welcome Pack
That's it for now, happy wargaming!

Printed the Soldiers today and they come out a treat. Looking forward to doing the vampires and bats next.
New subscriber here. Can someone direct me to the 50% off code for MMF?
These look great! When will these be released roughly?
Normally they hit on the 4th each month.
I LOVE undeads! I prefer to run skeleton and skeleton related armies like the Necrons or Mummified undead! But VAMPIRES!? I'm gonna print the hell outta these. Definitely my next army to print and paint!
PLEASE when you put models up on MMF (etc) comment on the suggested unit(s) for the models, and based on which rules version
Looking forward to many month of vampires and general undead goodness, but the first one is kinda miss with me. Was hoping for more of a warcraft Venthyr look. Tall and thin. Bats are very cool though.
Looks like the lord and lady won't get any adjustments? I was really hoping we'd get a rework. They still look squished.
its not just the vamps, a lot of the AoF empire peeps looking like weird children proportions for example. Seems whoever is sculpting those lines has a vastly different understanding and idea of proportion than the artist who sculpted the GF sisters with the super long legs from a little while ago. It just kind of seems like isn't any real consistency in proportion or detail levels of sculpts across the brand.
Reading the comments, I guess the vampires are a case of either you like it or you hate it. For me it is a case of liking. I wasn't looking forward at getting vampiric undeads very much, but now I'm thinking of playing them
I am a bit torn, I understand the logic of paint difficulty and how they look as actual in hand minis. This was addressed in the latest live stream. I am going to hold my judgement until I can print them and see what I think. I appreciate OPR responding to this again in the stream about their perspective. I am a person who really likes accurate proportion and it hurts my brain a little to see them so far off. However, I understand they can't keep changing the proportions. Now that the Human Empires are defined as Humans they are basically stuck using those proportions for all near humans.
I need to see those Dwarf bikers like I need food and air
Cannot wait for the vampires!!!
I did not see skeleton soldiers in army list, any plan for them? Or they just got replaced by normal soldiers?
The unit got renamed because our take on the models is these drained soldiers you see above instead of skeletons. Use the models you like, of course! And we will have some skeletons in the range, and we can't wait to show you what they look like.
I love the Beastmen Titan! Vampires are a bit odd, though.
Bat Swarms feel like the real winner here. Gotta agree with the other people though, something about the Lord and Lady feels off, even considering the heroic scale (which I’m a fan of!). Everything else I can get behind
I assume under the "Project Roadmap" section, you mean December (not November) for the two paragraphs relating to the Dwarf Guilds. Otherwise that would be a packed November!
Correct, thanks for catching that!
Polar opposite for me, I'm quite pleased with those Vamps, takes it away from the over-gothic look.
Rock and Stone!!
Yeah I agree......not as enthused about this as I was when I saw the road map. I joined when I saw dwarves and vampires, but they both have a Nickelodeon look or cartoon network look to them. Maybe that's not the right comparison, but that's just not what I expected.
Still hella disappointed in the Lord and Lady. I wouldn't mind them being delayed a month or two if only to make the models look... passable.
I'm really not big on the "heroic scale" style proportions on the models, the Vampire Lord and Lady in particular. If I wanted old-school chunky huge heads and hands vampires, there's a ton out there. Though, I suppose the same goes for new more realistically styled vampires, so I guess it's not really an issue if I wanted to buy from someone else. Still, I'm not a huge fan of how the humanoid models look here. The gigantic Mickey Mouse shoes on the zombies(?) are particularly funny.
lol they look like they are wearing huge Crocs lol
I was really hyped about the vampire but as the empire, the proportions are weird. They look too smal and chunky. It's sad cause the lore and the teasing were Amazing. Still love your work anyway juste giving a feedback
Agreed, honestly I didn't care for most of the Empire stuff. I really don't like the more cartoony/chunky direction the models have taken. Unfortunately, it might be time to end my subscription. :(
I suppose the vampire lord proportions are a little off. Somthing looks weird. Design is nice though.
He and the Lady look a little stunted, yeah. Short limbs and compacted bodies. It's a cool old school Citadel Vampire Counts vibe but doesn't quite hit the usual OPR standards.
Are there updates to the FTL beta rules or still just the same?
Hopefully they fix up the lord/lady but rest look pretty decent (Also maybe this run of releases the presupports won't be so overdone, excessive amounts in the last few releases, makes it tricky to actually free models)
Dayum, Familiars/Thralls weren’t something I knew I wanted! Loving the “Von C” Vampires trying to look like respectable rulers instead of letting the rot and fangs hang out. Still happy with the Guilds direction, I prefer the Starcraft/Deeprock look to 40k Votann by far.
Excellent as always
At last, human slaves as soldiers for the Vampire Lords!
Shame the feedback in the comments is just ignored. Lord and Lady are not good. The rest seems great. Not really any close ups. I did like all the weapon options, but come on fix the Lord and Lady!
Yup they seem to be moving towards this new art style and are ignoring any criticism unfortunately. Oh well. There’s plenty of nice vampires out there
Are the vampiric undead just empire 2.0? They have the same proportions and look similar. Also next month they are getting a wagon unit.
its looking that way. it would not be so bad if we got some different heads,body,shields,poses and bits. but they seem to be cutting back on that.
Very cool models :)
Vampire lord and lady models aren’t good at all but rest are cool.
Look cool to me
