Each Month we will release two more short stories and missions for our patrons to read. Later, the stories will be posted on our website without their missions, so be sure to download the stories and missions each month!
The latest missions have been released on Patreon, with a total of 8 missions for you:
Grimdark Future – Spiraling Escalation + Endless Swarm
GF: Firefight – Skyscraper Scrap + Ambassadors
Age of Fantasy – Haunted Realms + Mass Polymorph
AoF: Skirmish – Phoenix Migration + Rat Racing
These missions are focused on fun new ways to play, with interesting objectives and special rules to spice things up. We release new missions every month, so make sure to stick around so that you don’t miss any.
Note that whilst the missions are designed for each specific game, you can totally play them with the rules for any other game (with slight adjustments). This means that you have even more missions to play each month!
The new Ratmen and Blessed Sisters sets are available on Patreon.
These sets feature a ton of minis with front and back views in two different color schemes, as well as black & white. They also include black border versions of the minis, plus VTT tokens to play online.
At the top of post, you'll see some early previews of the what we are working on for March!
The Vampiric Undead Lord on Winged Terror is a powerful and agile monster that can cut easily through enemy infantry, while the Drained Archers flood the battlefield in a hail of arrows. For the High Elf Fleets the Protectors are the core of their troops. These fast mid-ranged fighters are equipped with Shardguns able to rapid fire Rending shots into their enemies.
Please remember that these are early WIP shots of the models and not the final versions of the models.
Make sure to follow OPR on Instagram to see tons of pictures and videos of our painted miniatures: https://www.instagram.com/onepagerules/
That's it for this week, happy wargaming!

I agree the Chunky style looks bad. I have been collecting and printing the dwarfs so not too bad, but the modes in the welcome packs and stuff I’ve bought that are more detailed and delicate are amazing.! And if you are worried about breakage just use Siraya tech tenacious mixed 20:80 with their fast for modes that don’t snap anything off … bring back finer models!
Okay I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks the minis are getting too chunky. I like a couple of the empire minis but recently I haven't been liking the sets, the vampiric undead were kinda a disappointment and now the elves. The proportions are just making them look too cartoonish.
the best minis sets were the truescale-adjacent one (Daemons, Sisters, Jackals etc). mostly a bit disappointing otherwise
I am completely blown away by those elves, genuinely. I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much when High Elf Fleets were announced, but this is the perfect balance between high fantasy elves and Vulcans that use magic. I've seen lots of space elves, but your guys' army may just be the only one I ever use.
The elves look great. Looking forward to seeing more.
Not sold on the proportions of the elves unfortunately. They seem too stocky to me. I feel the same about the recent humans and vampires, but elves in particular I would expect to be more lithe and graceful. Please take this in the spirit of constructive criticism.
Something to keep in mind, these are miniatures. A lot of their older sculpts have the less stocky builds, look great in renders, and suck ass as minis, because you gotta thicken and exaggerate for this stuff to work on table top. They might not look as good in renders, but when you put the actual mini in your hand, they look great
Battle Sisters in dresses. Battle Elves in dresses. Someone may be taking "Battle Dress" too literally.
I very much like the elves. I especially like that they are not excessively detailed. As much as I appreciate the renders of the Blessed Sisters on the screen, the details like the tassels and crosses can make them unforgiving to print and the details like the intricate trim on the shoulder pads can make them exhausting to paint.
Is it March 4 yet?
And the arrow is usually on the inner side, resting on the thumb. But that not so important, and it looks better with whole arrow being visible
Something to add through. Bows. The gal on the right will have strong go right through her arm. Dude in the right, if he is drawing the bow already it should be in the same plane with arrow end, and arrow end sjould be approximately in tge middle of rhe strong. Also bow should start to bend already. I'd like to string them with some fishing line, and it would be either strange looking or just impossible with such posing. I tried it in ratmen rangers, NONE of the models could be stringed 😭. The models are so cool, that's a shame you miss such a detail...
Disappointed in the elves sadly. They're very stout, have large heads, and chunky bodies... which seems to be a recurring issue among some of the new designs. Its like the Dwarf Guild proportions seeped into everything a little.
Wow, just wow! The elves are great and, and the winged beast is awesome. Don't like the vampires themselves, but that's personal. But the drained, oh the drained, just love them, they are just right on so many levels...
Totally knocked it out of the park! The new chunky detail looks great to paint (Sorry, I hated painting the Battle Sister models) and I can totally see myself painting a few test colour schemes. (Ulthuan Blue/White, maybe Biel-Tan Green/White, Blood elf Red/Gold and Nightelf Purple/Silver as starters) And of course, the new vampiric undead models look great, personally they feel nostalgic and fresh at the same time.
Not really a fan of the elves. They feel akin to the older GW models. And the backpacks really don't do it for me.
The elf modles look, just a tad to chunky. I know that opr js goinf for a more chunky style, but I feel like you could slim down the models by 5 to 10 percent and that would look better.
These are just renders. Print them first before deciding
Really digging the Elves!
Completely off topic, but is there a way to update the “Destroyers” as Prime Brothers and/or give them a better defense? I feel like they should have at least as much defense as the Aggro Bros, given the heavy plate.
they have 3 wounds versus their compatriots 1. They are perfectly fine as is. Or you can use one of a hundred already ready to go in the Community tab..
I'm liking the unique look of the elves and it takes a lot for me to compliment a knife ear
its a made up universe they can look any way the designer feels its time to step away from the everything should look like GW different company different look IMO
Exactly
The Noble should have some fearures on the torso, I think. Maybe a beltbucke, pendant or a carapace? It look little barren now.
The elf faces and earrings look strange. They are not as noble as they should be for high elves and more like they are from some band of highwaymen. But the rest of the designs are great.
Don't really care about the elfs, They are killing it with the Vamps!
Oooff, I'm not sure I like the HEF. They seem to be lacking a little bit of detail for me.
Actually I find the lower level of detail a good thing. I don't think these are showcase models - an army units, needing being painted in numbers - yes. It is better to add on a model by ones will than wish details would be removed, 'cause there are like 20 of these warriors I have to paint left and it will take ages.
I don't know, is it only me, or some of the elf faces have really strong gnomish features? Apart from that - the design is bonkers.
What are gnomish features?
Really like the space elfs.
Hmmm… the Elf faces and helmets look more like Dark Elfs or Gnoms, even a little orcish. High Elfs should have a more noble look. Slim. Relaxed. At least in my opinion.
It’s their universe. They can decide how they look. Plus these are renders not prints. Plus HEF are the remnants of the stuck up elites who abandoned their civilization when the robots rose up. They probably should look how they do.
winged terror!!!! Now show me zombie dragon!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!!!
