We at OPR are really excited by the launch of our Grimdark Future World Book to coincide with our 10th Anniversary and the expanded Lore release surrounding it. This book has been our way of laying the groundwork for a wider series of books and stories set in the Grimdark Future Universe, while giving fans the space to create their own armies, factions, and stories!
The goal of the World Book has been to give fans a framework and a taste of the Sirius Sector, its history and the wider galaxy that it exists in. We hope that this will inspire fans to build on this universe and work it into their games. The beautiful artwork gives fans a glimpse of the world which our models reside in, putting them into a wider context for the first time.
This 64-page book is a primer on the wider Grimdark Future setting. It connects the lore shown so far through narrative campaigns, short stories and army books intros and builds a foundation for future stories and campaigns. Several pages are available free for those who want a peak at what’s on offer before diving in.
Featuring:
Humanity’s origins and history in the Grimdark Future
The history, ongoing conflicts, key locations, and factions of the Sirius Sector
Information on societies in the setting, touching on everything from space travel to policing.
Galactic geography, introducing the wider galaxy and the planets contained within.
Beautiful artwork on almost every page, including some factions never before depicted by OPR
New short stories and flash fiction throughout the book, depicting life on and off the battlefield in Sirius.
This book has been a labour of love between many members of our team, including illustrators, writers and others who have been able to make this story possible. We have been sincerely grateful for the fan response; the enthusiasm and interest in our story has been overwhelming and we couldn’t be happier to see it.

At the top of the post, you'll find concept art previews of some of our models releasing in June.
June will be the first release of the Shadow Stalkers. The Scourges along with the Scourge Champion are stealthy soldiers, using their natural desire to keep to the shadows to their advantage. The Hounds and Great Hound are faithful companions to the Shadow Stalkers in the strange universe they now find themselves in. Quickly they move ahead of the force to engage the enemy with ripping claws and poisonous bites. The Great Screecher is a much larger denizen from the Labyrinth whose body creates a fog that makes it difficult to hit when in combat with it.
For the High Elf Fleets, the Guardian Cleric is a Noble hero who prefers to protect his people while they wage war. Using technology to ward off blows that would otherwise have fell his soldiers. The Sniper Noble takes aim with his elven sniper rifle, his experience and skill from a long life making him deadly accurate. The Revenants and their Noble are specialists in taking down heavy armor foes in combat. Their Energy weapons slicing through defenses like they were made of paper. The Retributors use specialized shard carbines with a longer range to take advantage of their training, remaining accurate at those longer distances.
That's it for now, happy wargaming!
