Nova Aetas is a tabletop miniatures game set in an alternative Renaissance world.

Inspired by classic Japanese tactical RPGs such as 'Final Fantasy Tactics' and 'Tactics Ogre', in Nova Aetas you will battle enemies controlled by a sophisticated Artificial Intelligence. With every challenge you will be presented with meaningful choices that will change the course of game events. To ensure an engaging game experience we have opted for high quality materials and the use of highly detailed miniatures.

1- 4 players
45-60 minutes


Modular Campaign - A linked campaign, comprising more than 30 scenarios, which will develop differently each time you play, depending on the decisions made by your party and the outcome of your adventures. The overall campaign can conclude with any of three different endings!

Three Game Modes:
1 - Single Player: Select your Free Company by choosing which characters you want to send on a mission.
2 - Co-operative: Team up with your friends to overcome all the the challenges of the full campaign.
3 - Competitive: Face off against the Free Companies of other players to prove your valour.


Innovative Activation System - The Horlogium (Game clock) provides an action management system based on the passage of time, providing you with dynamic and exciting game sessions.

No Game Master Required - Each enemy has its own Artificial intelligence (AI), determining its actions on the battlefield. Events and actions performed by the heroes will also affect the behaviour of enemies, causing changes in their priorities.

Increase your level of Mastery. Let your Free Company grow - as your campaign progresses your characters will evolve by acquiring experience. Beginning with four base classes you will customize your characters, with a wealth of possibilities to choose from, as you develop them through the course of their career. With a total of 28 available classes you will have many possible combinations to make your Free Company unique. Furthermore, over the course of this Kickstarter campaign it is our goal to unlock unique miniatures for each of the 28 classes!

Crafting System. Create your own equipment - Between missions you will use objects found on the battlefield, or the corpses of your vanquished enemies, to create fantastic new equipment for your characters!

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Any idea when the project will relaunch? Think I had an Early Bird the last time and I'd be a bit disappointed if I missed out the second time round.

I think the language barrier hurt the last time. I hope this time someone will be on hand to review updates etc before they're posted.

I was a backer in the first campaign, cancelled my pledge when they were restructured and when I wanted to repledge at the new level the project was cancelled. D'oh.

Between the games I'm waiting on, the stuff I have and my other unpainted stuff I don't think I'll be able to hop back on the wagon, sadly. Loved the Swiss Guard concept art and the gypsi witch.

Looking for a Skaven Doomwheel banner to repair my Nurgle knights.

The models will be in a very eroic 32mm scale, this to exalt the sculptures, that as you saw are top notch. Regarding the material, i can tell you that the production will be taken over by the same manufacturing company that produced Myth and other games full of miniatures, so we are assured on the quality of materials.

So how tall is the lady wizard you've shown?
Re materials does that mean it will be the same material as Myth? If not what have you preliminarily agreed with your manufacturer as the material your minis will be made with?

Wizard size is 32mm heroic but we are also considering an increase to 35 / 40mm to exalt the details of the sculpture ... we would like to have also your opinion about this

Yes, It will be the same material used for Myth's models.

Sorry I was after a foot to head measurement for size of the lady wizard (as there's lots of ideas going around on what a scale and heroic scale is)

For me I like my minis to all fit my current collection.

Glad to see this one come back.

Was curious about it the first time around, went to pledge, it was down.

The Italian Renaissance look gives it a nice change from the usual fantasy tropes we usually see.

The question I have for every game influenced by all the old strategy video games-

Do we get new figures when we class up/ evolve?

That's the best part of changing classes!

Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!

Watch and listen to me ramble about these minis before ruining them with paint!

The Manticore seems a little ambitious IMHO, and a little way off. I'm still hoping to see the Pope from the initial project and alternative gender starting heroes. (The 1st project had both male and female versions of each hero right?). Really hope to see Leonardo and puppets added. How about Michelangelo and some stone gollums? The historical characters really appeal to me.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
It's not that I don't like the Manticore, I just would like to see the core gameplay expanded upon before introducing hunts.

Didn't see the answer in my skim through, so forgive me if it's already been asked: Can we back for $1 and upgrade in the Pledge Manager later?
