Awesome! It's great to have a battle report finally done in video!

There will be some print and cut designs that work with the terrain sprue in the not so distant future.

Would it be possible to have the designs released as vector files?

That way, folks could have thicker stock cut on a laser cutting service, of which there are a whole lot in the wargaming industry

(and they could had it done locally since shipping lasercut panels is likely prohibitively expensive).

The initial release, probably not, but subsequent releases for sure, doubly so if we can work with you to convert!

**BobtheInquisitor**

When is the new fiction due to be released in physical copies?

**legoburner**

There's no hard date in place as we are talking to publishers at the moment. I'd imagine worst case it wont be until 2017 for Salute and Adepticon purchases, but could well be before then and we'll be sure to highlight the releases as and when they happen!

**RiTides**

I'd be happy to take a look at the template file, lego, when it's ready

. It'd likely be easy enough to convert it straight to vector (even just by tracing it!) but if material thickness affects the dimensions, that might be trickier (can't currently think of an easy fix for that one). Will think about it

Many people have asked us for a walkthrough of the game so that they can learn more about how it plays. We've finally gotten around to making one. You can read it online on the Maelstrom's Edge website at long last.

For those of you who have been curious about the game but did not want to take the plunge until you understood how it plays in more detail, the walkthrough should answer a lot of questions, and we are always happy to answer any more that you might have, here or elsewhere.

Thanks for looking!

Are there any battle report videos?

**legoburner**

No pure battle report videos yet - we have instructional game videos on the way though. You can see a people-learning-the-game-while-playing battle report here:

which is a little inaccurate but still gives a good overview.

Maelstrom's Edge have a new upgrade sprue available, giving you the ability to build a handful of new units.

As many of you may have noticed, we've been a little bit quiet in terms of public content since we attended Salute 2016. A good chunk of the core team at Spiral Arm Studios was commissioned to work on some very interesting things in a business to business deal with a third party. While we would normally have refused so that we could keep strong focus on building Maelstrom's Edge, the bribery was simply too convincing, with the compensation enough to fully fund Maelstrom's Edge development at a greater pace through to the end of 2020, so we've suddenly got even more stuff in the pipeline! Gearing up for that extra production took a bit of time, but things are well under way now, and we'll be sharing a bit more of our in development work as time goes on so that everyone can see what they have to look forward to.

In addition to the above, JP, the guy who was working hard to build our community channels, got poached by another games company, and since this happened while our focus was elsewhere on the b2b stuff we did not have the capacity to immediately drop someone else into his place. He was doing a great job and had a lot of smart initiatives in place, and from his work we've now got a wider communication infrastructure in place (centred around this blog) ensuring that we can keep feeding out news and content on a regular basis, bringing in a wide range of content writers to keep things fresh and interesting. As always, we are very happy to share community generated content as well, and we'll be releasing some tools and information to help people dip their toes even further into the Maelstrom's Edge universe over the coming months.

We are celebrating the launch of this blog with the release of our next set of models. This coming week sees the release of the Maelstrom's Edge expansion sprue, as detailed a couple of months ago. This sprue is packed with parts to allow you to build Epirian Contractor Suppression Teams, Karist Praetorians equipped with Cybel Glaives, Cybel Mine equipped Shadow Walkers, Karist Trooper Assault Squads, and loads of new detailing elements like new arm poses, grenades, and more.

Over this week and next, we'll be releasing loads of new content to support the expansion sprue. Including but not limited to, new unit cards (in digital form), new faction summary sheets, free army books for the Karists and Epirians detailing the new units and weaponry available to each, and plenty of new model photos.

The expansion sprue will go sale tomorrow - Aug 15th in an unspecified timezone, on the Maelstrom's Edge web store. For one week, we'll be offering it at a discounted price as a thank you to all of our loyal supporters, so make sure you grab your discounted sprue before the 22nd Aug! We'll then be bringing out bundles of sprues to allow individual units to be purchased with all necessary parts (The Epirian Contractor Suppression Team for instance needs an Epirian Contractor Sprue, 2-3 expansion sprues and 1-2 Scarecrow sprues!)

Exciting times for sure, and we thank you for being a part of it

Epirian Contractor Suppression Teams

Karist Praetorians

**insaniak**

Really love the staff and the sword for the Karists. It's going to be fun building up some combat units

**winterdyne**

With SAS having released the upgrade sprue I can now post these pics - this is a cracking little upgrade sprue, lots of options and those cybel glaive thingummies are every bit as fun to paint as they look.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Looks good, I especially like the 'energy glow' you've got on the blades

**insaniak**

Fantastic work, winterdyne.

I particularly love this guy:

**angelofvengeance**

As can be expected from you, Winterdyne, stunning paint jobs.

**BobtheInquisitor**

We'll I'm in. I like Dakka, and I like Dakka's game's minis, mostly. The glaives would look at home on many a GW mini, and the extra big guns are always welcome. Loin cloths and swords dress up any mini, The helmeted heads are almost too good to use on my remaining contractors.

In fact, those helmets and extra arms give me an idea for what to do with my many unused WGF Romans...

**Manchu**

I love those silver hawks helmets!

These guys look like they were designed for Masters of the Universe, perhaps the Royal Infantry of Eternia, incorporating everything that makes Masters of the Universe great - from laser guns and swords, to randomly non-strategically placed armor, right down to the bowlegged stance and the mass of their arms. I love them. I'm now wondering if anyone makes any 28-32mm Skeletor & his henchmen to battle them.

**Manchu**

Too much clothing for MotU.

I would love to eventually see a new torso for the Epirians, something that more closely matches those sweet helmets.

I counter with Man-At-Arm's green bodysuit.

**Manchu**

That could actually be a pretty cool color scheme for Epirians.

You may have just convinced me to buy a set of them.

**Manchu**

If you get the starter set, I will buy the fishbats from you.

**Eldarain**

A community of enablers I tell ya

**Spiral Arm Studios**

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at Salute again on Saturday! Just 5 days to go - we have a bunch of new models (including new plastics) to show off, new printed books and more.

We are at stand TD03 so swing by and take a peek!

**RiTides**

Looking forward to seeing the new models! Not a new faction, is there? That would be so awesome but probably a long shot

**Theophony**

I was looking in the Salute thread and the booth number made me think you guys were going to be right next to Prodos and AVP

, your actually directly across the hall from them, but it would have been fun to see a game that was developed for the fans AND released right next to them

.

**angryboy2k**

This is great news. I have just moved and as I was unboxing my MEdge stuff last night I asked myself what might be next for the game. I hope that new plastics will give the game a popularity boost!

(Also, anyone in the greater Vancouver area who plays drop me a line please!)

**Lorek**

Really looking forward to seeing the new models!

**Kid_Kyoto**

This is (honest, no kidding) great news!
