I completely understand. New gels can be so easy to think up (miasma/crystal shard gel?) But it some variety would be good.

I think I've mentioned some of these things before, but some new monsters I think would fit include a Primal Barghest (less domesticated variant) and ghosts/spirits with different elemental affinities (dark, fire "flame spirit," water "drowned spirit")

These all sound nice.

I'll even go as far to suggest just making new stat cards for some existing models. It'll save money on sculpting. Maybe just change up the color scheme (like the Lunarian). And I'm sure plenty of us will be happy to buy them up instead of having to wait for the whole new figure process.

That is something OTL has done a bit, and will definately be doing more. The Dungeon Densetsu - Hoarfrost Peaks PDF (check visiting hours contents post) includes a frost gel using recolored gel warrior art, and the rime troll, a variant colored earth troll. In The Quiet of Graybasin Visiting Hours they have stats for characters from a short story, and use modified crusader, bandit, sorcerer, thief, and lancer art to represent the characters on the card. One of the most interesting is Drast, a ex-sorcerer who has become a sort of cleric. He gets the sorcerer model, but has holy and healing commands.

I do eventually want to get proper art done for the Kingfisher cards, and possibly give them a full DLC.. but they work pretty well as Palette Swaps.


In a only somewhat tangential note: Noa delivered the last pieces of art needed for Item Deck #2 today, which covers all of the remaining items in the rulebook... or close to it. I think its all of them, but someone can remind me later for ID3.

I'll get the files in place tonight or tomorrow, and it will be up on WargameVault this weekend and in our webshop in about 2 weeks (once they get in).


Additionally, a special Visiting Hours/DLC will be released on Friday, and Gelato Episode 04 will come out on 11/15.

DLC 03 part 1 will be probably be 11/29, but it might be pushed back to December.. its a bit bigger/more work than the first two DLCs.

It might be a little random, but I'm hoping once you get a little further with these guys that you can find a reason to create a gel with a ray gun.

I think we might be taking a break from introducing new Gels for awhile. We've got a good spread of them at the moment, and I personally feel that we should work on fleshing out a few of the other races.

Doesn't mean I won't write up a new Gel if inspiration hits me.


DLC 03 will feature a few new Fire Blood, and Dark Blood units... and will be a Dungeon Densetsu.

So more dwarves?

Originally released for a limited time during Halloween of 2012, The Black Kiwi rides once again! Not only are we re-releasing the miniature, we are also including a stat card to make it playable in Endless: Fantasy Tactics along with a Halloween themed scenario. Already own a Black Kiwi? We got you covered, you can order the new card directly from WargameVault.

Well, that's one.

Get a few more people shouting at us for them.

Also if there is a particular sort of dwarf thing that folks would like to see, let us know.

Dwarf Sorceror or Witch!

I was gonna say Dwarf Beserker, then I realized that'd be too Warhammery.

DWARF DRAGOON WITH DRILL LANCE

Why is this not a thing that exists already?!?! This needs to happen.

Whatever the next dwarf is it needs goggles. That reminds me...I need to get another dwarf gunsmith and convert it to an alt chemist.

Vikinger vs. Black kiwi is something I would never expect. Is the black kiwi evil? I don't know his story. However it works it will be awesome.

Is it evil?
Depends on how you want to look at it. The story that the children of Norida tell puts him as being one of the generals for a evil group; but maybe that's just because they haven't told his full story yet? Maybe its part of a bedtime story the kids parents told them? If the Vikngers are just children playing pretend, The Black Kiwi could actually be someone/thing else in the world of Endless that came through there town and visited or attacked their homes.

I'm trying to remember how long I've been trying to get this to be a thing... I should probably get off my arse and write the rules for it. That way there is something 'concrete' to it other than just me fanboying about it lol

The dwarven drill lancer idea reminds me of Guntz (steam knight) and Kokichi (flying machine knight) from Shining Force. Both do similar things to other characters, but story-wise their power is from inventions rather than being a centaur or birdman.

The rules practically write themselves. Ok maybe not quite that simple, but I have all kinds of rules ideas that I will now proceed to blurt out.

Dwarven Driller

There are a couple ways this could be done. I am picturing a heavily armored dwarf with drill-spear in one hand and a shield in the other. I would use the Knight as a starting point, then add commands that feel more fit for Dragoon.
ATK 3 (possibly +1ATK, -1DEF)
DEF 5
MAG 2
HP 7
MP 4
ITM 2
MOV 4
JMP 2

Shield

*passive* Dwarven Ancestry (see Dwarven Gunsmith)

Dig - (same as Jump from Dragoon (F))

1 MP Drill Dive - ATK, Line 4, Follow Through, Piercing

2 MP Spin Thrust ATK X2, Line 2 Push Back 1

ALL MP Sink Hole - ATK+MAG, Rng 5, AOE 2 , Earth Element. Place Driller in open square nearest center of AOE.

Other existing commands that seem appropriate include: Stalwart, Heroic Charge, Armor Break, Cunning, Lance Sweep, Wyvern Strike. I can see the driller having commands that apply Stop or Blind conditions.

No one's paying me

In that case I'll double it lol

The Black Kiwi is awesome, and a great Halloween release! It totally makes me want to play higher crystal count battles. Now we just need a model for the Fallen I can't wait to see everyone's Dark themed Endless parties now.

I'd buy one.

Oh hey, look, Item Deck #2.

Welp, bye some money in my PayPal account.

Whooo, Black Kiwi.

I appreciate he comes with both bases, may magnetize the bases so I can sit the Brushfire base on the EFT one.

Soooo... which book/PDF has the Brushfire Black Kiwi rules again?

None, I believe when OTL originally released it, the model was supposed to be a special one off for Halloween a few years back to be used as a Kiwi rider. If I remember correctly, RiTides had a small horde of them just for that reason.

Is the recast version supposed to have the rodent tail? Mine didn't have one if so. I didn't even notice the tail until I went and looked at the picture again for paint planning.

No, just the rider and the bird.

Oh good, that means I don't have to wait to prime it.

Okay folks, Gelato episode 04 is uploaded!

To try and make up for the delay, here is a preview from a future DLC release.

Just got my Geomancer boards in and I'm really excited. They look very nice. Some assembly is required, but nothing super hard.

I think I'll take pictures along the way and start a new thread detailing the start to finish. I'll include any tips or tricks I come across in the process. I'll even share some secret techniques that Emily told me about.

(I'll try to post before the end of November so people can take advantage of the 20% off discount. Just give me a few days because I got alot going on for Thanksgiving.)

Sorry this took me so long. The last two months have been crazy for me. I should have all of my boards finished this weekend and I can post pics of everything afterwards.

In honor of Rin Azel's scuplt being finished, here is the board for Miasma War Scenario 7 (since it takes place in her shop).
