**Zond**

Not in for much at the moment, planning to do most post Kickstarter. What enterprising individual has devised the best way to get one of everything?

**PsychoticStorm**

Well congratulations on getting funded, but I find curious the last few unlocks remained dark silhouettes.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

It could be that they didn't manage to get the images uploaded before the KS ended

Once a KS end the front page locks and can't be edited or modified so they will be stuck with it as is

**PsychoticStorm**

Maybe, but they should at least do an update, though I feel some are a few days old.

It's in the works. Earliest is tomorrow, they are getting things together.

They also switch 2 factions around which put the Empire before Tanaor on priority as Mati (sculptor for the empire) finished and got going on a number of sculpts before any of the Tanaor were done.

RG hopes to have the first Council minis printed by the end of the month and possibly cast not long after.

Last I heard they will be spin casting the models in phases as models are completed rather than wait for all of them to be done.

Update:

Manticore update [1]

Hi all!
The Manticore model is almost ready. Just remains to add some details and finish the weapons. Next step is to give it a cool combat pose and it will be ready to print.
We hope you like it!

**Rolt**

Update:

Saanar Weapons Concepts

Hello!
Some of the weapon designs for the Raiders of Saanar.
Hope you like them!

**SickSix**

Really great concepts. I just don't have the funds to support. That makes me sad.

**Rolt**

Update:

Archon

Hi everyone!
Mati sent us an update for the Archon, just wanted to share it with you. There are lots of details still to come,
but the basic form and posture is almost done.

Hope you enjoy!

Even with only basic blocking in place the Archon is starting to look really nice, I could only imagine how nice shes gonna be finished.
Might have to add that empire starter set to my pledge after all.

**Piston Honda**

I may have to add extra funds for a 4th box set. I currently want the Council, Guardians of Tanaor and the Uruhvel (I like all their units except the vanguard, for obvious reasons).

I am at over 100 British pounds for this already. :(

No matter, I have spent far more on some rotten KS.

**Barzam**

*sigh* Still waiting for them to give Uruhvel some more love. I'd like to see their weaponry. I'm really curious if their weapons will be organic as well.

**Piston Honda**

I think we have only seen one weapon right now.

They hired an additional studio that fits their needs and art direction so it will speed up the sculpting process.

In the opening days of the KS they mentioned Concentrated effort to get the Council done so they can cast the stuff while the Uruhvel get finished up. By the sounds of it, the same company/sculptors that are working on the Council are working the the Uruhvel. They seemed hopeful to get a metal cast done by July.

I wrote up another battle report. This time I was testing out some rules ideas I had, so there are some differences with the actual rules, which I point out. I played this before the recent rules updates were made, so I'm not using the latest changes unfortunately. But have a look and let me know what you think.

Update:

Manticore update

Hello everyone!
The Manticore is here! Only a few final details, and it will be ready for printing.
The models for the Council Starter Pack are almost ready, we are eager to have the complete set and start the casting process!

Spoiler:

@Albino Squirrel
Thanks for posting the battle reports, they're really helpful and I look forward to seeing more as the Beta develops.

**Piston Honda**

Glad they gave it a good pose. After seeing an early pose of the sniper girl (one of which I was not too happy about) I feared they had no real concept on how to post minis.

**Rolt**

Update:

Contractor (WiP) update.

Hi all!
The Contractor model is almost ready. Just remains to add some details and it will be ready to print.
We hope you like it!

**Piston Honda**

Everything about the mini screams awesome except those exposed legs. Am I alone?

**PsychoticStorm**

Not a fan of the design to be honest.

**highlord tamburlaine**

You don't want some well toned man legs on your alien warriors?

Pants would help. Otherwise he looks good from the waist up.

Update:

Status Report [5]

Hello everyone!

Have been a while since the last Status Report, but here we are again!
All is going very good!: The manticore was sent to print, the Tactical Officer is on the workbench to complete The Council Starter Pack, the Contractor and the Dragon are getting its final touches, etc. At the very moment we have images to share, you will see them as usual.

The system is evolving pretty good too, we are making continuous adjustments, so that is why the updates on that subject have stopped a little. We currently have revised all the weapons and their Special Rules; next will be the Special Rules for Units followed by the Units themselves. All this go in conjunction with a lot of clarifications needed on the manual that will be revised before the release of the v0.2.
We are compiling and developing all the fluff, to expand the background of the world and spice the units and the missions.
All the background will be available in our upcoming website, also available to download in pdf format. The pdf version of the beta manual will be kept fluff free, to ease the check of the rules during games. Also, we are thinking the best way of making quick reference cards, more on this on future updates.

And finally, Backerkit is near! We are waiting the end of the collection period, it should be tomorrow (they said 15 days). Following that event, we will notify you how will everything work, in the most detailed way possible to avoid confusion.

Thank you very much!

So by the sound of it a large portion of the council forces are done (or at least the starter set) and we should be seeing phyical master prints soon, also the
plegde manager should be along within the next month or so.

**Barzam**

Yeah, the Raiders are totally not my thing. You guys can have you pantless aliens. I'll stick with the nude bug women, thank you.

**Rolt**

Update:

Contractor update [2]
Hello everyone!
The finished model of the Contractor! Hope you like the final result, after the addition of the trousers, and some additional details.

Faceless update [1]
Hi people!
We have a new concept to share. It belongs one of the units unlocked before the end of the campaign: the Faceless.

Spoiler:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1318212665/last-saga/posts/896603

The Contractor is finished and now has short shorts instead of bare legs and the Faceless concept looks great, can't wait to see the mini.

@Barzam
Yeah sure nude bug women are fine and all but how about scantly bug men with exposed midriff?

**Rolt**

Update:

Curator update [1]
Hi!
Today we have the concept for Curator! The design just arrived from the Crafters Guild of Tanaor, made by a legendary Artisan: Marcos Raya Delgado.

Spoiler:

Enjoy.

**Piston Honda**

I like that curator.

The contractor does look a lot better with shorts.

Still something about it (the lower half) doesn't feel right. Raiders of Saanar are the only faction that does not get me excited.

**Rolt**

Update:

Serestian Pester Update [1]
Hi!
We present the Serestian Pester concept art, by Marcos Raya. This vicious breed works willingly for the Sovereign Empire, hungering for new preys to devour. Very fitting for the Sovereign Empire standards!

Spoiler:

**Denilsta**

I am really liking the concepts for this KS, I don't normally play futuristic genre games but I think I'll stump up for a few different starter sets when the pledge manager comes out.

**Rolt**

Update:

Dragon Update [2]

Hi all!
The Dragon model is finished! Some details changed a little from the WIP you saw, fundamentally constructive ones on its joints to give it more sensation of movement
The miniature will be composed of 10 different parts: the head, torso, hips, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, the two winglets, and a set of rubble (this last part not 3D printed but molded with putty later). This will confer freedom at the moment of the mounting, permitting different positions.
In the future, we plan to release a tutorial of "How to t̶r̶a̶i̶n̶ mount your Dragon", to show the complete process.

Hope you like it!

Free Agent Update [1]

Hi all!
There we have the concept art of the Free Agent of the Raiders of Saanar, by Alexandr Pascenko. The minion is missing, because we are considering the design and how it would fit in the mould, but it will be presented.
Don't forget to make the payment after the job is done!

Spoiler:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1318212665/last-saga/posts/903508

Enjoy.

**Ald**

Rolt, thank you very much for keeping the post constantly updated!

We have the first Corsair and the Free Agent minion renders ready.

Hope you like!

**Barzam**

I'm thinking I'm going to have to grab a Dragon when the pledge manager opens up. It looks like it'll be a good replacement for the Panoceania Squalo. Will there be different poses for the Dragon, or will it just be that one pose with two weapon options?
