The Age of Fantasy World Book is now available in PDF on DriveThruRPG!
This year has seen the story and lore behind the Age of Fantasy setting debut on a much larger scale. This started with our second narrative campaign, Secrets of Tixal, and now includes monthly short stories and a nearly complete Age of Fantasy Quest Campaign! As with our earlier release of the Grimdark Future World Book, this is our first opportunity to introduce the word itself beyond the fleeting glimpses offered by narrative campaigns, short army book introductions, illustrations and design cues on models.
The World Book is our opportunity to introduce the world itself to our players, laying the groundwork for more exciting lore and allowing you to figure out a little more about where your army fits into this vast world!

At the top of the post, you'll find concept art previews of some of our models releasing in November.
In November the red and yellow leaves of Fall trees make home for the Wood Elves. The Glade Leader is a protector of the Heartwood, leading his defenders against the enemies of the forest with great tactical knowledge of the woods. The Spell Weaver channels the magical energy of nature to support the warrior of the forest and uses the forest itself to attack and hinder enemies of the Heartwood. The Defenders are the first line of defense against the forces that threaten the trees and beasts of their homeland, always ready to mobilize to get between the enemy and those they protect. The Scouts are always on patrol, silently and carefully watching the edges of their forests for enemies. Experts at navigating the woods and remaining unseen, their arrows can take care of threats before they become a problem. The Giant Owls are swift and deadly hunters, flying high, they can pick out their prey and descend upon them with razor claws that are impossible to escape. Connected to the Spirit of the Heartwood, they will always help the Wood Elves in their times of need.
The Human Defense Force's November campaign starts with the Drill Sergeant getting the troops in line. An army that fights in anger can achieve great things and the Drill Sergeant is a master at riling up his unit to impossible feats in combat. Psy-Hackers use technology to break into the forces of destruction so easily manipulated by psychics of other factions. They use this data to create real world anomalies or to enhance units with advanced tactical maneuvers. Sappers are special weapon experts that employ an array of heavier weapons to devastating effect. With their advanced training they're able to assume a variety of battlefield roles based on their loadout. The GRUNTs are robotic soldiers designed for war. Expensive to build and maintain, they are designed to be heavily armored and effective at special tasks and missions that human infantry wouldn't be able to endure.
In November the Ratmen find another suitable companion for their growth serum as the Giant Otter makes it's way to the army front. Paired with a Ratmen Priest the Giant Otter serves as a faithful companion, getting the priest to where he needs to be in the heart of battle.
That's it for now, happy wargaming!

Going to guess they're the oversized human mutant equivalent.
mrnominguy
i am so insanely hype for that ratmen otter its not even funny
Rigger Mortis FPV
The art looks great. Inspiring. There are Black Metal inspired wood elves in my future.
Alex W
I want that scout owl... exactly as drawn π
Dredval
You will receive a mail after 48h, and you don't lose acces to the files, they'll stay in your myminifactory account.
Charles Hartmann
I really hope the HDF vehicles have a major redesign. The preview for the APC was not it. It looked awful. An Armored Personal Carrier with NO ARMOR where the personal are. A turret that cannot turn because a HK Missile was placed in the way. The concept art looked cool but the renders were missing the mark.
Matt W
Hi I just joined and I'm at the $10 level. Where do I go to get the miniatures and terrain. Also do I loose access after the month is over for my free downloads or can I just go get them any time as long as I'm a member?
Kozicjusz
Nathan, comparing concept arts and sculpted models some of people feel disappointment and many of players says, that saurians, jackals or alien hives looks better than human figures.
Nik Fortuin
Yeah, I donβt have have a bunch of bases with just 2 feet glued to them when I field the newer armies. Iβm looking you, Jackals.
Nathan Gerardy
It is not a designer/sculptor thing, it is a deliberate choice by OPR for painting and practical reasons. They addressed this in detail on the Human faction releases. And again, when the Vampire army came out. It isn't going to change as all human proportioned designs will be this way. I'd rather they didn't have this, but I have accepted this is how it will be.
Adam
This. The human empire, vampires and HDF all suffer from the same weird proportions and laughably oversized feet. There's heroic proportions and then there's having feet the same size as your thighs.
Samuel Wright
Given how similar elf factions are, the mythological owl motif has me interested.
mortisveritas
Loving the hacker!
Kozicjusz
Will the Wood Elves be sculpted by the same person who made the Vampires? Iβm afraid of a problem with body proportions.
Puret DeBoston
I have been waiting to having some HDF for a long time, and fell in love with the Wood Elves concept on your livestreams and was waiting to having them, but I can only say... I love the concept of the Otter!! The armour is beautifully designed, but... OMG, the concept art of the Otter Head it's gorgeous :)
Dylan
Giant otter. Elf abs. Owls. Menacing hacker. Badass sergeant. Space shovels. No notes.
Russell Byerley
I can't wait to hear about the HDF stuff! I am even more excited for juicy new rules
Thomas Ryan
Do Patrons get a discount on the world books?
Eric Steele
I like the human female serg.
Joey Jar Jar Junior Shabadoo
Omg, weβre getting District 9 mechs? Please tell me these are larger than human-sized. π€
Weolyn
Aaaaaaaah the otter β€οΈ
Daniel Poulsen
Looks really good! One wish for the lore books: it would be super cool if they were released in a physical format. It just hits different, when you can sit with the pages in front of you.
Spencer Johnson
These are top tier
Xalia
Loving those WIP shots can't wait to get them printed up
Nathan Gerardy
Looks to be a great release!
Daniel Hall
Biggest otter!!
Geburah
Didn't think I'd ever say this, but I rather like the Wood Elf design ideas. The beetle/Hollow Knight look to the infantry is interesting...
NEGA Productions
Looking foward to HDF models. Eta on balance patch?
HabMichVerlaufen
YES! - all HDF Models look amazing
Rin
THOSE SAPPERS LOOK DOPE MAN
