Warzone Eternal

Warzone Eternal Reinforcements Arrive!
5 months ago – Thu, Nov 06, 2025 at 08:22:22 AM

Hey Warzone Eternal backers,

Just a quick, but exciting, update for all of you. Throughout the course of the Kickstarter campaign, in response to questions about future plans for Warzone Eternal, I had promised that new models were being sculpted and their rules playtested. Some of those you have seen previewed at conventions attended by Res Nova.

Well, the first two of those new Warzone Eternal units - Cybertronic's cloned medics par excellence, Dr. Diana, and Algeroth's loudest techno-organic horror, the Immaculate Fury - are now available! They can both be found on the Trenchworx site at:

• Dr. Dianas
• Immaculate Fury

These are just the first new Warzone Eternal units being released by Trans Atlantis Games, and new models for all of the Kickstarter factions - and then some - are waiting in the wings.

Big Bob Watts Returns to Warzone!

Hey Warzone Eternal Backers,

As I'm typing this update I'm realizing how short-sighted it was of me to call the update before last the "Penultimate Update!" Regardless, we're getting close to winding this campaign down, but not without a few big pieces of news.

Kickstarter Fulfillment

First and foremost, EU deliveries appear to be well underway, with several people posting pictures of their received loot. Hopefully pictures of painted models and games in progress are soon to follow!

As a reminder, questions about lost packages or miscast/damaged models should be sent to [email protected] for me to address. And, as noted in previous updates, for those of you who have never completed your backer surveys or updated payment methods, your pledges will be deemed canceled at the end of this month (September 30th).

A Special Trenchworx Deal For Kickstarter Backers

With the webstore launched (and, as a reminder for those of you who have not yet received your Kickstarter packages, webstore shipping is not starting until October so that all of you received your packages first), many of you have seen pictures of the "Snap Tray" 3D printed production that Trenchworx will be using on the Warzone Eternal line moving forward. I wager there will be more discussion about this new approach in the future, but this change should help address many of the issues that folks encountered with the Kickstarter Siocast miniatures.

As a small token of appreciation for all of you helping bring this game back to life, and as an opportunity to check out the new material, until October 15th all Kickstarter backers can receive a free unit from the Trenchworx store with the purchase of at least one other unit. This is limited to one free unit per backer and you will need to log-in to the Trenchworx store with the email address that you used for your Kickstarter pledge.

For those of you who may have already placed an order, Trenchworx will be in contact to help you sort out your free unit. If you run into trouble making this work, please contact Trenchworx directly at [email protected].

And Now For the Big News!

So how do we top the two pieces of news above? By telling you all about plans to allow Warzone Eternal to grow into the game we all want it to be!

There's going to be plenty more discussion about this monumental change for Warzone Eternal, but, in short, this is going to facilitate the game's growth at a rate that I simply couldn't manage as a sole proprietorship. It was probably a foolish presumption on my part that this well-loved universe and game could ever comfortably exist as the boutique miniatures game of an indie publisher, and thus my own limited bandwidth was going to end up strangling the game's growth. For instance, Warzone Eternal will be demoed and available for sale at the Las Vegas Open, next weekend, which was a show that was not on Res Nova's radar anytime in the near future.

Bob is a peerless veteran of the miniatures industry, and, with Trans Atlantis Games, he's built a team that has shepherded into existence a highly successful and well-regarded paint range. Turning those skills and experience towards Warzone Eternal is an exciting prospect.

For those who may be concerned about what this change means for the game that's been developed to date, please rest assured. Bryan is staying on as lead game designer and I'll be continuing to set the design and aesthetic direction we're taking with Warzone Eternal. There is no second edition coming any time soon or any other fundamental change to the game that you all have been playing.

Trans Atlantis is building out Warzone Eternal's new web home now, which you can find at https://transatlantisgames.com/warzone-eternal/. The Res Nova Games site will continue to host Warzone Eternal materials until the new site is complete.

Phew! That's a lot to digest, I'm sure, and there will be more news to come. But the future for Warzone Eternal is looking awfully bright.

Thanks as always,

Alex / Res Nova Games

EU Shipping Update and Webstore Launches!
6 months ago – Fri, Sep 19, 2025 at 10:04:35 AM

Hey Warzone Eternal backers,

Just a short update with two significant bits of news.

EU Shipping Update

EU shipments have arrived in Gamesquest's Netherlands-based fulfillment center, shipping information has been sorted, and many of you should have already received tracking numbers for your orders. So, barring courier catastrophes, you should be seeing packages on your stoops soon!

Webstore Launches!

Throughout Kickstarter fulfillment, from both backers looking to expand their force and interested gamers who missed out on the Kickstarter, folks have been asking for when Warzone Eternal would be available for non-crowdfunding purchase. And I'm thrilled to say that "when" is today!

Partnering with our good friends at Trenchworx, the manufacturer of the Warzone Eternal line of miniatures, the entire Kickstarter range of models and the rulebook are available for purchase at the Trenchworx webstore. So those of you looking to double down on your Blitzers or grab a new faction, the wait is over.

I hope to have news regarding the availability of our acrylic gameplay accessories (objective markers, gameplay counters, measuring widget) and decal sheets soon!

Thanks as always,

Alex / Res Nova Games

The Penultimate Update!
7 months ago – Thu, Sep 04, 2025 at 12:10:57 PM

Hi Warzone Eternal Backers,

First of all, my apologies for the radio silence. I've been waiting to push out this update until I had something to update you all on - and today I do!

EU Shipping

Moments ago, the last of the EU packages were picked up for transport to the Shipquest distribution facility in the Netherlands. These packages have been sitting for several weeks now as Shipquest has apparently been swamped working with their publishers to coordinate shipping for the massive Essen Spiel show next month, so pick-up was delayed until today. But I'm sending these air freight, so they should be landing by early next week and some of you may see product as early as the end of the week.

I apologize again for how long this has taken, but can't wait to see pictures of painted models and games in progress. Please don't hesitate to share those with the Facebook page or Discord channel.

Fulfillment Status

With the last of Europe on its way, and Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA finished, a replacement for a lost-in-transit package and less than a handful of orders to one-off destinations are all that remain. For those handful of backers not in the regions listed above, your orders will be departing late next week, and shipping costs will be charged to your Backerkit on Monday.

The sole outstanding Kickstarter reward, the Graveton Protocol campaign PDF, is being finished now and will be pushed out to the digital rewards section of your Backerkit account as soon as it is done. I will send another Kickstarter update (which should be the final update) when that happens.

With the campaign nearly wrapped, I will be monitoring this page significantly less. So please forward any inquiries or concerns directly to me via email at [email protected].

The campaign conclusion also means that pledges that were never completed will be cancelled. Though there are not many, some backers never completed their initial surveys or responded to notices about errored payments for their pledges. These pledges will be deemed cancelled on September 30th unless I hear otherwise (again, contact me directly at the email address listed above).

For those that contacted me regarding miscasts or damaged models, I've been coordinating with Trenchworx and they'll be handling replacements later this month.

The Road Ahead

With the Kickstarter about to move into the rear view mirror, it's time to turn to Warzone Eternal's future plans. I have a few significant announcements about this coming in the next few weeks, not least of which is the launch of the webstore, for which many of you have been clamoring since receiving your Kickstarter pledges. A go-live date has been set towards which we're working, and those details will be posted to the Warzone Eternal social channels soon.

Expanding the game beyond the Kickstarter releases has been a background focus over the last year. As I've noted in previous updates, work was already well underway on wave 2 models and beyond. That has continued and there are currently over a dozen new units for which sculpting has completed, or is nearly completed, many of which have also wrapped up the playtesting phase. This includes new options for every one of the Kickstarter factions as well as units for an eighth faction - a "no prize" for the first person to correctly guess the newcomers to the Warzone.

Finally, we're committed to continuing to engage with the community and show off Warzone Eternal at as many events as we can - and the number of such shows will likely increase as we roll into 2026. The next of those is the Michigan GT, held in Lansing, Michigan from October 3-5 (exactly a month from today!). As the "home" show for Res Nova, I'll be on hand running a Warzone Eternal tournament on Saturday, October 4th and I'd love to see you there. Tickets for the event can be purchased here: LINK

As always, thanks again for your support of the project and your patience during the long road to its completion.

See you in the Warzone!

July Update
9 months ago – Mon, Jul 07, 2025 at 09:50:21 PM

Hello Warzone Eternal backers,

Happy July - I hope you're staying cool!

Fulfillment Status.

As of this evening, 70.7% of packages for European backers (EU and non-EU countries) are packaged, palletized, and/or in transit. To refresh memories as to the process, these pallets are being freighted to fulfillment centers in the UK (for non-EU countries) and the Netherlands (for EU countries). Once they arrive at those destinations, the pallets are disassembled, shipping labels are produced, and Gamesquest sends the packages on their way to you. I should receive tracking numbers for those shipments, but there's a chance they may arrive to you before you see those numbers in your Backerkit account.

The UK pallet was delayed in departing as, on top of being held initially to allow for errored payments for shipping/VAT to be resolved, Gamesquest requested that I include all of the non-EU destinations with that shipment, and delay shipping the pallet until that was completed.

As with most things with this project, international freight has been a point of education for me. My limited shipping experience (I spent one college summer working in a warehouse loading trucks and coordinating domestic LTL pickups) didn't prepare me for the paperwork complexity or lengthiness of the pick-up scheduling (it's been taking over a week and a half for pick-up to occur after the request has been submitted). Gamesquest has been great as an information resource, but ultimately the process devolves to me having to muddle my way through.

That all being said, muddling through is exactly what I have done and packages are on their way! Given the space considerations of my packing area, the remaining ~30% of European orders will be going on a third pallet that I'll be assembling after the second pallet gets out the door.

For US retail backers (European retail backers are being shipped with the non-retail backers), the first shipments are going out this week. Work on the rest of those will be staggered alongside the balance of the European orders).

Payment Errors 

While the vast majority of payment errors that arose when VAT and shipping charges were applied have been resolved (thanks to all of you who promptly updated cards, contacted your banks to give approval to the charges, etc.), there are still a handful of you with declined charges. As noted in earlier updates, if these payment errors are corrected after shipments have been sent to the European fulfillment centers, your packages will need to be sent via significantly more expensive direct from the US shipping, customs unpaid. So please, for your own sake, update your payment information as soon as you can.

Finally, GenCon, the largest gaming convention in the USA, is happening at the end of this month. While Res Nova won't be there in an official capacity (I tried, but the waiting list for an exhibitor booth is still dozens of applicants long), there will be a Warzone Eternal tournament on Saturday night, in which I'll likely be playing as the "ringer" in the event of an odd number of participants. Join us, and probably beat me at my own game!

Thanks as always,

Alex / Res Nova Games
