The Edge is a skirmish scaled 28 mm wargame set in the post-apocalyptic world with medieval and steampunk aesthetic influences. It’s mechanic combines the traditional wargame approach and solutions from mana-based card games. In a world destroyed by cataclysmic Judgement Day that left behind not only havoc and desolation, but also beneficial crystals and mysterious portals, remnants of humanity are unified under the authoritative rule of The Chapter, the priesthood of The One, a god of technology, defending humanity against Demons, conquerors of whole worlds, which one day came out of the portals. In the bloody war that followed, from the dead human bodies, broken machine parts and power of the crystals new entity was born by ominous and barely understood method – The Faceless, beings deprived of autonomic consciousness and emotions, devouring both metal and flesh, through which implementations every creature evolves on its own.
The humanity found a way to use the scattered crystals to create and empower mechanical blessings of The One, but the Demons have their own reasons to gather them and even The Faceless have their purpose to seek the crystals, as the power that dwells in them is fuelling the hulks of their physical forms.
Project The Edge is developed by Awaken Realms painting studio located in Poland. As one of the biggest painting studios worldwide we have vast experience in dealing with miniatures of various companies, and that experience will be reflected in everything what we can offer in the Edge project, especially into miniature design, highest quality of casting (our 3D print technology allows us to get the level of details of 0,016mm!), interesting background material and finally, unique game mechanics.
We are aiming to launch our Kickstarter in March 2015 with an almost complete product, ready to ship within 6 months.
This thread will feature new snippets of information every few days – new renders and casted models, snippets of information about game mechanics, world background and so on. This is very exciting project for us and we are humbly asking for any feedback and comments from you. Feel free to ask us about anything what comes to your mind and whatever you want to know about The Edge project - we decided to develop it together with the community that has supported us so much before.
When the first priests of The One were warning the humanity about the coming cataclysm, no one listened. And after the Day of Judgement, those, who survived the eradication of former civilization finally believed. The remnants of humanity, sheltered in seven huge metropolies, called Refuges became unified as The Chapter under the guidance of Priests of The One, and with the power of the crystals, scattered through the world by the blasting meteors, rebuild the civilization from rumble, shaping everything in the image of The One, glorifying the technological advance and implementing it in every aspect of life. Though uniting the humans, The Chapter itself is internally divided, and various doctrines and philosophies of each individual metropoly are seeking to become dominant. When the demonic threat emerged from the hidden portals in the craters left from the apocalyptic events, The Chapter, the protectors of humanity remnants, became the first and only defence line against the ruthless foe. Already dangerous railways and routes to crystal mines became even more vulnerable with the Demons preying outside, forcing the Chapter to strengthen their protection.
The Demons
Demonic society is divided into three castes. First, the brutal ones, being the backbone of strike forces and dedicating their whole lives and culture to martial prowess and art of fighting. Second, the terror ones, learning about the fears and vulnerable points of invaded cultures, striking from the shadows and spreading terror through the enemy ranks. Third, the intelligent ones, utilizing their mind as a deadly weapon, using the magic born from the crystals power and commanding whole forces in times of war. All three castes struggle for influence in the whole society, but all understands, that jousts may not turn into war, there is a bigger obstacle uniting all three castes. The place from which Demons came from is a barren, worn-out, devoid of resources and overpopulated world. Several times the Demons were forced to spread to other worlds in order to survive as a species. Latterly, the conquered worlds began once again lacking resources to maintain overgrown demonic population and another conquest was vital.
One day after the cataclysm, when new humanity was at its peak, the portals sleeping into blastscape awaken, spewing out a new threat. Demons fell upon the unsuspecting human dwellings, and only thanks to The Chapter and unsuspected appearance of Faceless were driven out. But not for long.
The Faceless
In the height of the bloody war between the Chapter and Demons, on one of the battlefields the unthinkable took place. Born from the broken machine parts, left human carcasses and the arcane power of crystals left to rampage wild, the first of The Faceless creature appeared. Being not driven by consciousness, showing no emotion towards anyone, begun consuming both metal and flesh, demonic and human alike. Every devoured part was being implemented to the creature’s structure, changing its form and abilities. The Faceless shortly after its birth begun to seek the crystals. Their power is believed to be the only mean of holding together and driving forth their hybrid forms. Only thanks to their appearance the demonic incursion failed, no one was prepared to fight such an enemy. All communication attempts, both from human and demonic side was fruitless, so their goal is yet unknown.
Gameplay: In our gameplay mechanic we wanted to bring something totally fresh and really fun to play, so we decided to bring original idea of combining miniature wargaming with a mana-base card game. Everything will be resolved by the deck of forty cards with value from one to four and several special cards of effect, spells or abilities.
The gameplay also will focus upon the gathering and using crystals – each crystal token will make your mana pool bigger, what allows you to use (precisely talking, spend your mana amount on) special cards from your “hand” affecting singular targets with special effects or abilities, or even to influence several targets or whole battlefield. This mechanic will create environment inducing players to think strategically, use currently possessed resources wisely and plan ahead opposing to common solution of “just getting rid of the whole enemy force”. Sometimes better solution will be to spend more time gathering crystals to prepare a powerful spell to turn the tides of battle.
Each faction will be gathering crystals and using the mana pool generated by them in a little different, but distinctive way – this will differentiate the factions further in the means of gameplay and turn the game even more interesting. Thinking how to prevent the enemy from gather precious resources and still being able to acquire as much as possible, bearing in mind that what you can do in the game depends of how much mana you’ve obtained from the crystals. The mana and cards will be almost sole mechanic factors - classic dice will only be used to determine some of the card effects.
This will be a skirmish game launched in march 2015 on Kickstarter, developed as a test before potentially expanding the Edge as a full-fledged battle wargame.
Is that an actual cast rather than the print? It seems to be showing print artefacts in the form of layering, I would hope you could clean that up some before creating a mould.
While most of the concept art is amazing and I eagerly await for the KS, I dislike the very soft edges in the knight models. To me it makes the armor details look like they are made of clay rather than metal.
The rest do look great though and I eagerly await more printed models to show.

I am constantly amazed by both the quality of sculpting and imagination that seems to be coming out these days.
Looks really evocative, I had the Dark Souls single piano-chord background music playing in my head while looking at these, definitely feels like it has that vibe about it!

I was wondering that, too. That cast, if it is one, looks quite rough. Please try to make sure you have this worked out airtight, and take some pics of an unpainted cast... maybe it will look better.

This is actually first prototype - roughness you can see is at some parts are either the 3D print layers or the white paint fabric (those who paint knows that white paint can be really grainy).
Anyway, we will be grinding it once again and cast it again to have all the surfaces as well prepared for mass production as possible. The hammer will be re-done as well to make handle thicker.
We are painting studio ourselves and after all the Fine Cast models we know we don't want to follow the same path ourselves
The reason we showed you the model here was mainly to show, that all those little details from render are actually on the models thanks to this pretty amazing 3D printing technology.
Thanks for all the feedback by the way!
We are learning a lot in the process and every piece of information is really useful.
There are multiple possible ways to serve the One – perhaps the most honorable one is the privilege of wearing the armor of Holy Knight to wreak havoc on the battlefield. Only the purest members of society can wear this suit of armor, specially developed by high priests based on the visions send by The One. Another requirements are abnormal physical strength and perfect discipline – thanks to that Holy Knights combine strength of human body and machine to become perfect weapon. Just a few can withstand those challenging conditions and become worthy of becoming The Chapter’s first line of defense. Knights are part of the Chapter and hold high position within their ranks, even thou they do not possess any technical skills or capabilities. Their fighting prowess and unshaken devotion is sufficient enough.
It’s time for the first update – take a look at our first cast miniature, the Chapter’s Holy Knight:
Miniature is cast with High Quality resin and will be placed either on 32 i 40mm base. You can see now how the small details, such as the icons on armor are looking on the real, painted model, not just on render.
Formerly, we’ve shared with you just one pose of the knight. Today we may announce that we’ve prepared four poses of the Holy Knight with full set of interchangeable weapon options – a Holy Knight may be equipped with a variety of heavy weaponry, such as the hammer, sword and mace, as well as a shield. Perhaps you have ideas on other weapons you would like to use?
Our facebook community have pointed out that size of the mace – for some it was too big. Do you share that opinion?
As always – please, share your thoughts on the model – your feedback is always highly appreciated
There is only one kind of punishment for those who dared to question the One and the chapter – death. However, sinners who broke the law on the smaller scale are offered a choice: they can redeem their deeds by becoming either miner or pilgrim. Rarely any human with common sense choose the second way, even if becoming a miner means serving at least few years at gathering crystals. It is fate happily accepted when confronted with what becoming a Pilgrim means – taking a part in crusades with only heavy mechanical spear as a weapon and no armor.
Most of pilgrims die their first battle – but those who survives long enough to kill seven opponents are given freedom, full redemption and enough gold to live happy for few years. Usually a total renegades, killers and madmen are becoming a pilgrims.
Today we are presenting to you the second update, featuring the Chapter’s Pilgrim renders. Soon the model will be cast in high quality resin.
The Pilgrims are wielding heavy, mechanical spears with shredding, chainsaw blades, being empowered by the crystal-based technology. See the concept art of the model:
As always - please, share your thoughts on the model - your feedback is always highly appreciated.
The cast knight is cool (although I think he should "choke up" on the weapon handle ). I.e. hold it higher up on the handle / closer to the head of the weapon, like in the render. Otherwise it looks a little off.
Absolutely love the pilgrim!! If there was an option to pledge for a single mini, I will definitely be in for one of these - I can think of a number of uses for him (perhaps with a head swap - could you offer a more "high tech" head as an option, I think s visor could prove quite popular!).

There will be five head options availble for Pilgrim, maybe some of them will be more appealing to you.
Today we are presenting the first non-chapter update, featuring the Faceless Berserker Alpha renders.
“There are some things, you can never forget. Things, that won’t let you sleep for long weeks. Once you see them… You will understand that. They are different. Somehow much more terrifying than Demons. We can understand Demons - even if they are manifestation of everything that is evil. But there is no clear purpose in the brute force behind those faceless creatures... They can rip a man in half in a second and then feast on his souls. Yes, brother, there are thing you can never forget." - Sir Roderic Malv, one of the Chapters Holy Knights
Faceless were created soon after the Demons came into the world of The Edge. Exact circumstance of their creation are not clear to either Chapter or demon, but the reports state, that first faceless creature were created from human body pierced by a crystal part.
First, they were only half-dead bio-mass wandering around battlefields and feasting on the dead, but soon they evolved into something much more terrifying – they implemented some of the metal parts into their bodies and reached for the next step in their evolution. Faceless takes various forms, but they have few things in common – all of them have a crystal hidden most often in their chests as well as they have usually masks built up from bones or metal (this is where they got their name).
They do not feel emotion and are driven by sole instinct of devouring and evolving – or at least they seems to, as there is little known about them. Sometimes they are called by humans “Soul eaters”, as they are literally sucking life energy from defeated enemies. They are also an unexpected obstacle and a threat for the Demons conquering plans, as they can’t be manipulated and they feel no fear.
When it comes to gameplay, Faceless will be mostly focusing on close combat fight and “growing” with each unit they will defeat. They have are also showing abnormal regeneration skills.
Take a look at more exclusive model preview of Faceless Berserk Alfa! Soon the model will be cast in high quality resin.
The Berserker is using with deadly accuracy the scavenged mechanical parts, now implemented to its body as shredding limbs attached to it's back and sharp claws on the hands

Hi, we’ve shared some model renders and castings recently, but a wargame is not only models, it’s the rules as well. Today we want to share with you some more detailed insight into the basic mechanics of The Edge. We’re still testing and developing the ruleset, with our goal to deliver to you the balanced and fun to play set of rules. With that said, keep in mind that some details may yet be altered, but the “backbone” of the mechanics is monolithic and described for you below.
Overall Look
We want to take our best experience form board games, miniature wargaming and TCG card games. Strategy will be really important factor and taking various approaches will be possible thanks to the usage of crystals mechanics. Thanks to introducing special spells cards we want to give players tools for creating “turn the tide” moments in the game flow. One of the most important assumption we made before sitting to creating rules is that they should be reflecting story as much as possible and help immerse players into universe of The Edge.
Our ambition is creating mechanic background to our game following the rule “easy to learn, hard to master”. We will be trying to put overall game rules very short and intuitive – all the complexity will be brought by the spells you will be able to cast as well as units special active and passive abilities.
Cards and special abilities
Each player will start with the certain set of special spells cards that he will choose as a “deck” and that will be able to globally influence the battlefield. Their effect will be various and each of the faction will have different style of spells. In addition to that almost every unit will have special ability (or more than one) – active or passive. Thanks to that each fight will be actively participated by the players with lots of various moves they can do, rather than merely statistic table clash with dice rolls.
Cards design
Crystals
In our mechanics as well as in the universe we want to put very strong emphasis on the crystals – ultimate source of power that each faction desire for their own reasons. We have designed special crystal tokens to represent them in our game.
Each player will start with few crystal tokens and it will serve him as a mana pool refreshing after every turn. The more crystals you have – the more powerful spells and abilities you will be able to cast. One of the core mechanics will be gathering crystals on the battlefield – than each faction will have their own additional way of earning the crystals.
Crystal Tokens
Controlled Randomness
We want to create a system where biggest part of randomness (for example in fights) will be under some kind of influence of the player. Rather than throwing bunch of dice we want to implement a deck of cards with numbers representing the results. In addition to that each player will have his own deck – therefore throughout the whole game, both players will have same results.
As stated before, our rules are in the stage of active development and testing, therefore things can change a little – but we want to keep the main assumptions and bring you very balanced set of rules that will give you great amount of pleasure, lots of awesome moments to remember and full immersion into the world of The Edge.
What do you think? What are your best and worse adventures with various wargame mechanics?
We have our website finally running as well – please, visit us and tell us what do you think!
Hi! Remember the Chapter's Pilgrim render we’ve shared with you some time ago? Now the model is finally cast and we've already done a test paintjob and put him on a field of arcane crystals!
Once more posting the alternative Pilgrim's heads. How do you like them and which one is your favorite?
How do you like the painted Pilgrim wandering in the natural environment of “The Edge” world?
I'm intrigued by the game mechanics and I've quite gotten to like cards instead of dice, I play Malifaux and Relic Knights and they work very well with cards. I'll keep an eye on this but what material will the miniatures be made from?
I'm not sold a 100%on the knight, but the pilgrimm is one of the collest mini i've seen in a while.
Well done
The mechanics of the game is really intriguing, if the other minis are as good as the pilgrim, I think I might lift my self imposed kickstarter ban, and pledge on this,
Roughly how many miniatures per side? As you will be using resin this will effect the outcome of the price, to many miniatures per side will get expensive fast.
Today it’s time for The Demons – see the Terror Cultist renders!
The cultists from the Terror Caste are taking up the shapes of animals frightening to the human beings and lurk in the shadows, performing actions to spread fear, disarray and destroy the opponent’s morale.
There is also a version without the robe – which one do you like more?
We’ve recently made a new wargear option for the cultist – two versions of a special lantern that shines in the terrifying, red light and burning away the substance that rises the anxiety in anyone who will be unfortunate enough to smell it.
Which one cultist do you like more – the one with robe or the one without it? Which lantern option you consider better – the ribcage one or the skull only? What other fear-spreading devices can you imagine the Terror cultist to use?
streetsamurai wrote: I'm not sold a 100%on the knight, but the pilgrim is one of the coolest mini i've seen in a while.
Agreed! And this latest mini (the terror cultist) is just as cool, imo. Love that you've shown resin casts and not just renders. Looking very promising!
I like both the cloaked and non cloaked version, I could see using them for different things. Same with the lanterns. They're all awesome . Still would love some sort of mask or visor head for the pilgrim, though!
I like the robed Terror Cultist better too. The comparison reminds me of the scene from the Dark crystal where the disgraced Skekses is stripped of his robes, and loses whatever majesty he had.
The only thing I don't like about the robed Terror Cultist is the back of the render, which seems too plain. You might want to overlay some tattered robes or belts or decoration or something to give it some visual interest. That said, the front of the robed Terror Cultist is, in my opinion, the bes tthing you've shown so far.
I don't care for massively oversized weapons like the mace that the knight is wielding.
The Faceless have a lot of potential, but the berserker isn't doing it for me yet. As far as biomechanical monsters go, so far I prefer the direction Sedition Wars went with the Strain. Ultimately I hope you'll have some less anthropomorphic, perhaps more Lovecraftian Faceless beasts in the mix as well.
Yes, please make both versions! My only reservation with the robe is sometimes they look better in a render than the actual cast. I really like the unrobed version and think if it wasn't being compared side-by-side it wouldn't feel like it was "missing" the robe. Like drazz, I will totally be getting that one

The Berserker is just the first model from the faction we've shown - there will be more of them and of various structure - less-humanoid as well. Stay tuned to the thread, ultimately we'll share this one as well.
We’ve been silent for some time, but we’ve been preparing something really big!
Finally, the long awaited day has come – we’re proudly presenting you first three casts of our Angel of Death! We’re so excited about them and the casts are of really good quality!
We’re going to give them to our best painters, so they’ll put some paint on them! Do you have any suggestions of the paint scheme, basing options or some interesting things and details you’d like to see on The Chapter’s centerpiece model? Feel free to share with us and do not hesitate, your idea might be incorporated to one of the very first paintjobs of Angel of Death!
I can't see much in the pic, but that is indeed very exciting! Looking forward to seeing one assembled (hopefully with an unpainted pic) and then painted
For painting suggestions, I'd love to see a clockwork / bronze scheme!
Remember the three Angels of Death casts we’ve shared with you two days ago? We’ve given them to our three best painters and let their imagination flow through the strokes of brush onto the models. Today we are presenting you the first one – how do you like it?
And with a Pilgrim to show the scale of the model:
Soon you may expect another one to follow!
And stay tuned – when the last of the angelic trinity will be revealed, we’ll have a nice surprise to you! Keep an eye to know what it may be.
Thank you for all of the support you’ve given us !
It’s time to show another Angel of Death painted by one of our three best painters – how do you like this one, standing on a custom, clockwork base?
Tomorrow you may expect the Angel painted by Medows himself. We’re closing to the uncover of the mentioned before surprise – be sure to visit tomorrow to see the final Angel and know what we have prepared for you!
We are going to give to you one of the Angels of Death we’ve shared recently! Lucky winner will get the first one of them that will leave our studio – in addition, fully painted one!
All you have to do is to post a comment, where you’ll tell us which one of the Angels you like the most and why do you like that paintjob the most (feel free to comment the model as well) That way you’ll have the opportunity to win that exact Angel of your choice!
You have the opportunity to do so up to 03 March (Tuesday). Then, we’ll draw the lucky winner, who will obtain the Angel of his choice.
There is also an opportunity to obtain something more!
We’re going to draw additional five lucky ones from those who not only commented, but also shared the photo of the Angels of Death. The lucky ones are going to get surprise gift related to The Edge world!
We’d like to get some feedback from you as well – every suggestion and constructive opinion is valuable to us and we’ll take this into consideration to make our game better! Thank you for your support and stay tuned!
We’ve been sharing with you a Demons unit some time ago, today it’s time for a new Demon to emerge from the portals. We present to you the Master of Elements concept art – the model will be a part of the Demons starter set – you can find it on kickstarter page
This one is a member of the Intelligence Caste and is able to use the arcane power of the crystals to gain control over the powers of nature to either use their raw potential to bring destruction to the enemy or to influence his own kind on the battlefield.
How do you like him and what kind of specific abilities would you like him to possess?
After we’ve shared the Angel of Death for the first time, many people didn’t liked the design of the mechanical scythe, opting for the more traditional one. We were thinking about it and came up with 11 various designs! Now we’re presenting all of them to you and we’re eager to hear which one of them you would like as an alternative?

all of them except 2 & 3
although if pushed 7, 8, 6 & 9 are my favorites in that order
My concern is that I have no idea how the miniatures are scaled in comparison with other miniatures. The only measurements they have included width measurements of the bases, not the actual measurement of height on the miniatures.
I'm currently only in at £3. Surely worth it for the rules and painting tutorials alone. Not sure if I like enough of a faction to justify one yet. There are a few here and there I think are special but others I don't like the style of. Some of the larger models are out of my league but I'm sure there will be collectors after them. Big fan of the Angel of Death though and the burserker is "venom-like" in the best of ways. Looking coward to seeing more artwork. Hope I can find enough cash down the sofa for some. (Would definitely opt for these over WWX)
Finally, the day we’ve been impatiently waiting for has come – The Edge Kickstarter is life! Make sure you visit us and spread the word further! The world of the Edge is waiting for you with whole range of miniatures:
Someone beat you to it by quite a bit but glad to see you checking in over here even while the campaign is running! I hope to see the total keep going up, this has been a good start.
I'm not trying to be a jerk or be rude... but what is with the comparison photo with a tape measure across instead of measuring heights.
There was another Kickstarter that did something similar and they ended up getting ripped on fairly bad by the community. I can understand having both width and height to give an example of the wingspan or something but comparison photos really mean nothing without a height indication. Mainly because you can tell the picture is taken at a up angle which can skew with height comparisons.
Today we present to you a Demon Brute from the brutal caste society, the most honorable and fearsome warriors that emerged from the Portals.
He’s covered in the armor made of bones and skulls of the beasts with which this warrior fought during the conquest of one of the former worlds – they are as hard as steel, providing unmatched defence as well as being a sign of fighting prowess – only a formidable warrior could have defeated such beasts and be allowed to make an armor with the trophies.
The giant club is made with two skulls, becoming the fearsome weapon that may easily shatter bone and steel alike.
The Demon Brute is standing in a taunting pose, ready to challenge the foe he believe to be worthy of becoming his opponent.
What do you think about this beastly warrior? Visit our Kickstarer page!
Best demon I've seen in a long time! I get a doom vibe from. I'm off to check your KS page out.
Automatically Appended Next Post: I've backed this for now but the big (deal breaker) for me is, will there be alternative sculpts for the pilgrims, snipers and cultists. I don't really like multiple sculpts for skirmish games....

Very true the PanO Orc in that picture is a lot bigger than the space marine also pictured in real life.
Please can we have measurements of minis heights please
I saw this on my facebook today, I really like the look of the models, but without proper measurements I wouldn't be prepared to buy in. Give height measurements, and you'd no doubt get more interest.
Also, as an aside, there are a few grammar/spelling/typing mistakes in the KS text, and that--to me, at least--looks a little sloppy.

The irony is strong here, no?
They're trying to sell a game, in English. My level of Polish is irrelevant to that. Why get defensive over a little criticism? The only reason I said anything was because they had mistakes, easily fixed ones, and may not have been aware.

looks like the angel is approx 4 times the height of a space marine? or measure the wing span then measure that against the height of the angel in photoshop?
many of the fans probably don't give a ratsass about scale anyway or they wouldn't be buying GW stuff either
We were asked for a scale shot with the height measurements, so there are three photos with Angel of Death, Pilgrim and scale shot of the Edge models near the GW Space Marine and Infinity model.
Good luck with the kickstarter, your humans are too big to fit in my collection so I won't be partaking but I might grab a daemon or two at retail in the future.
Also I'd sugest removing the part about this range being 28mm scale from your kickstarters front page, unless your pilgrim is supposed to be an 7 foot giant he ain't 28mm scale
Thank you for the measurements and comparison photos. I'll be staying in this for awhile as I actually have a couple games that play in 35mm range that I think these can mingle with. The other demon/larger models I can probably work something else out with as well.
It is unfortunate they aren't in a 28mm - 32mm height range though. It would be beneficial to include more heights for the other models, although they are larger than the average miniature, by knowing the different heights it will let people decide what they can use, mix and match with existing miniatures as well.
Our Kickstarter is live and thanks to your support we got funded and we’ve reached the first stretch goal!
We’d like to prepare something special, exclusive for all of those that will believe in us and support our Kickstarter campaign – we’ve prepared the special busts for Chapter and Demons – a great monuments of Angel of Death and Ish – to be added in the special Collector’s Edition pledge that will be out in few days with even more exclusive content!

What else would you like to see released in the near future?
We’ve just reached 19k stretch goal! Thanks to all of you who contributed to this – we really appreciate your efforts to help us expand The Edge to further edges. Now every unit in every starter set will have different positions as well as optional parts for Chapter pilgrims and Demon cultists!
For 20k stretch goals we’ve prepared something special – an exclusive Kickstarter miniature – a Rha’zack mercenary! After breaking the 20k limit he’ll be added to both starter sets.
Be sure to get him now – he’ll be available only in this Kickstarter campaign! Be sure to pledge to obtain him!
Take a look at the art:
Stay tuned, something big will be coming soon.
What are the Rha’zack mercenaries? From where they came from and for what purpose? Why are they gathering the precious crystals? Why are they willing to offer their services for both sides?
It’s up for you to decide! Tell us your suggestions!
When we’ve first showed the content of the Demon starter set on out Kickstarter the community suggested us to diversificate the poses of the Terror Cultists. Today, we are ready to show you four different poses of them and four different head options to strengthen their terrifying or creepy aura in order to spread fear and disarray further in the enemy ranks! Notice the both designs of lanterns we’ve shared before as well!
Soon the Chapter’s Pilgrims will take the same treatment and we’ll show you their new poses!
For now, we’d like to hear from you, which one of their head options is your favorite one?
Just had a look at this and it looks rather good. What is a bit disappointing though is what you have said in regards to shipping where you are charging a low rate currently but then depending on what happens later holding models to ransom until more shipping is paid. What you really should do is fix a set price now as its a bit wrong to do what you will be doing

It may feel like a ransom but it isn't. Usually a company can make a fairly accurate estimate based on current package sizes and weights. However if someone added another 20-40 individual miniatures then those estimates are no longer accurate. Or in the case of other existing KS usually unlocking a lot of things through Stretch Goals. Quite a few KS are moving to a "Estimate Shipping Cost" but then charging the actual shipping price when they are ready for shipping. This is because traditionally shipping ends up way more than the estimates, then the company ends up eating the costs. CMoN tends to charge a flat rate of shipping for the KS, but then issue that back as a credit and charge the actual shipping rate. Some KS have adopted this and others simply do a recalculation. It all sums up the same thing, if shipping costs more than what you actually pledged those totals will need to be collected before shipping. It may feel like a ransom but it isn't.
They crossbow itself looks fine - but I bet the sculptor haven't used neither crossbow nor rifle in his/her life.
This as the shooter is obviously supporting the buttstock on his right bicep, not the shoulder - which, even in ze future and with multiple bionics, would be a really bad idea...
Also, shooting to the side will be very unstable - but this could probably be explained as the shooter turning to track a prey. The enormous trigger guard is also strange.
Suggestion:
Twist the upper body so that the right shoulder is behind the centerline of the crossbow (and perhaps drop the left elbow under the gun so the left arm supports its weight) - and it will look as if the shooter actually knows how to handle the weapon

I like the bird one.
What troubles me is that you have a lot of details on the CAD renders that cannot possibly be realised on a real miniature.
The extremely fine sack cloth texture, the tiny nails/claws, fragile chains, etc. - down to needles and pins on the lanterns.
More realistic renders - or actual 3D prints - would be appreciated.
These days, I seldom buy any minis unless I have a clear idea of what they will ultimately represent in an army, but despite being well catered for for Heralds already, I'll find a home for those in my Daemons somehow!
As the Kickstarter's 22k stretch goal was hit, the Chapter's Golem was unlocked! There are many things we may tell about this model, but one in particular - it's big! Standing 9,5 cm high on four, massive, mechanical limbs, it's a walking pulpit for the Priest of The One, ready to walk into the battlefield, to smite the enemies of The One with the mighty hammer.
The Golem is the in-game way to balance the Demon's Ish model.
It's worthy of mentioning that the limbs will have ball-joints and the legs will have poseable joints as well, so the model will be fully poseable!
Some time ago we were sharing with you the new poses of the Terror Cultists and promised the same treatment for the Pilgrims. Today, we may finally show them to you – look at four different poses of those penitents, both static and dynamic ones!
The models will be available with not only four, various poses, but with four different head options to further differentiate the models!
Hello there, today we have a small question for you.
We have prepared two artworks for the upcoming Holy Knight cavalry model and we’d like to ask you which version of it’s rider do you like more – the classic approach of the Holy Knights amour or less technological, more medieval suit?
Today we’d like to share with you two first pages of the upcoming comic book. When our Kickstarter will hit 30k stretch goal, the comic will be available for free to all the pledges (except the 1 GBP one). If you pledged 1 GBP, you may consider rising your pledge level to 3 GBP, so you’ll get access to it!
What do you think about it? Do you like the direction it’s going?
Love your company's style, and having the "driver" of that walker be a separate piece is really smart - makes it much more useable for various things. I'd love to see more casts, though, or get more info on who will be doing the casting (or if it's being done in-house). Apologies if that info was already posted!
Hello there,
Today we’d like to share with you another model form The Edge - Chapter's Purge Doctor. This one is based on the concept of Plague Doctor - by bringing this kind of imagery to The Edge universe we wanted to make him a little bit more post-apocalyptic and add steam-punk technology feel to him.
There are only six days before the end of our Kickstarter! Plague Doctor will be released when it’ll hit the 36k stretch goal! Help us bring this miniature out!
Let us know what do you think about this one - as always feedback is highly appreciated! ; )

Thanks!
To obtain the models as add-ons you need only the 1 GBP pledge - but with other you'll obtain the ruleset and other game accessories as well as the exclusive models!

As for now we have several options of model casters, but we have a goal as well to cast the models by ourselves in Poland - one way or another, you may expect the best quality of casting.
There are only five days before the Kickstarter will end!
To those of you that would like to get everything that the Kickstarter has to offer (as well as other additional materials!), we have decided to make a special pledge for all of you by creating a cool bundle! See what you can obtain:
Remember, that Demon Shaman and Purge Doctor will be added to this set as well once unlocked!
Few days left of this campaign guys - it was a pleasure to have the possibility to gather such a great community here! Tons of great feedback and support! Let’s finish debut of The Edge with style, guys!
An info for those, who were interested with Faceless on The Edge Kickstarter! – by reaching the 40k stretch goal, their starter set was finally unlocked! Take a look at it’s content:
There are only three days left of our Kickstarter! Be sure to see all of the recent goodies available there!
Hey guys!
Our Kickstarter is coming to an end… And boy, it was quite a ride!
Thank you all for the great support and taking part in it. We managed to gather GREAT community and thank to your support bring world of The Edge into life.
But since we have some time left… How about we will show you some new nice miniature…?
Take a look at updated version of Demon Brute Shaman!
Hope you will enjoy him.
We have last day of our Kickstarter - be sure to take part in it in time!
I'm really tempted by that Faceless Shatterer model, the art is awesome! Can we up our pledges later, and is there a way to pledge for (or later add on) just that model?

Yes, you can now pledge just 1GBP and later take the model(s) you are interested for
After all of the formal activities, we can now focus fully on what’s most important – miniatures and delivering them to you! Soon the website with pledge manager will be set up – it’s only a matter of days before we’ll be sending all of you that participated the necessary information.
Right now we are focusing on printing and casting miniatures. We are doing small fixes (this includes re-designing some parts, and doing special print preparation) in order to make them as good as possible. Let me show you a redesigned slightly Rha’zack miniature in order to make him more casting-friendly and to adjust several visual accents – please take a look at his face and feet!
Stay tuned, soon we’ll be revealing more information!
It’s time for an update of The Edge! Do you remember the artwork for Master of Elements from Demons faction? It’s time to present the miniature of him not only ready, but painted as well! You may click on each photo to see the better resolution images.
The model is also the first model from The Edge that you may order from our website! You may find him in our Shop!
How do you like him? More models will soon follow!
We're casting the models in our studio (so in-house everything)
Automatically Appended Next Post: Hello,
Time to share with you one of the biggest models from The Edge! Take a look at the Chapter’s Golem!
We’re making the final preparations for this beastie to put it in our Shop! Take a look here in several days, and you’ll be able to find it (and perhaps some other models as well?) We’ll keep you informed for sure as well.
And if you’re wondering about the size of it, take a look at this little comparison shot:
Also, we’ll be present in Essen (Spiel, 8-11 October)! If you’re going there as well, come and play The Edge with us at Hall 7, K112!
Whoa, it’s been several months Since the Kickstarter – and it passed so fast! But we were not idle in that time – thanks to your feedback and suggestions (you are great! Thank you for your support for everything we were working for!) we were able to get the majority of the things ready!
This year, we’re going to Essen Spiel (8-11 October 2015) to show The Edge to the world! If you’ll be there, visit us, meet and chat, and play The Edge with us!
In Essen, you’ll be able to play the game with us and check the unique mechanics system, combining the best elements of tabletop wargame and deck-building card game, developed by the creator of Neuroshima Hex, Michal Oracz!
The Edge is not only a game – it’s a whole new universe that is being steadily developed. In Essen you’ll be able to see and get the comic book set in The Edge universe, titled “The First of us”. Take a look at it’s cover:
It’s time to present the last miniature form the Chapter that was part of our Kickstarter – a Holy Knight Cavalry! This one was for a long time remained as an artwork only – as we’ve chosen for our fans to decide about his look! We’ve also added a little detail to tie the Holy Knight Cavalryman to the glorious history of Poland. Take a look at two mechanical wings in the back of the saddle – those are obvious reference for the Polish Winged Hussars – recognized as the best cavalry formation in the world’s history!
Take a closer look at the model in our website. There is also a nice 360 roundup view of him!
The horse looks really good under all that armor. It actually looks like a horse, instead of a dog with hooves and what not. The armor design is a little busy, with the circular saws on the side of the horse being a little confusing to the eye, but it might well work better in person or painted than just as a render.
but was hoping for a more techy one. Easy enough to swap / convert, though
