Warzone Eternal is the officially licensed miniatures game of skirmish combat in the techno-fantasy universe of the Mutant Chronicles. *NOTE* Shipping will not be charged at the time of any pre-orders, but will instead be charged later, closer to the shipping date, to ensure as accurate of shipping costs as possible.
Hey everyone, just a very quick update here. Backerkit let me know that they're closed on Monday, so expect to see shipping charges for all US domestic non-retail backers to show up on Tuesday.
Have a great weekend!

Hello Warzone Eternal backers,
It took me a week and a half longer than I expected, but final charges should be landing in the Backerkits for US domestic non-retail backers at the end of this week. I've been perhaps obsessively cautious with this process as I've seen plenty of other campaigns where an oversight of some form or another resulted in miscalculations, the need to process refunds, etc. I've been working with Backerkit to make sure that everything's in order, and am hopeful that things will proceed smoothly. I appreciate your patience as I've navigated this.
Of course things have continued to move in the background so that I'm as well-positioned as possible to start shipping items out, and evenings have been spent sorting unit cards into sets and assembling packets of miniatures. Bryan even made a trip up to Michigan to spend a weekend in a frigid basement and help me package your miniatures.
Speaking of your miniatures, I posted to the Res Nova blog an overview of working with Siocast, the material of which the Warzone Eternal models are made. For many of you this will likely be a new experience, so hopefully this guide will help minimize any frustrations.
Finally, in case you haven't seen it yet, our friends over at Kabin Miniatures released to Youtube last week a learn to play video for Warzone Eternal. The production quality is spectacular, the presentation is illustrative, and it does an amazing job of quickly getting you to grips with Warzone Eternal gameplay. If you haven't seen it yet, go do so now! And if you have, go watch it again and give Kabin a like and a follow!
That's it for now, but more updates will be upcoming as fulfillment proceeds.

The end of your patient wait for Warzone Eternal, that is.
I've just received word that the last component of the Kickstarter product, the printed rulebook, has been dispatched and is on its way to me. As manufacturing for everything on this project, save for the logo D20s, was done domestically, I'm expecting a pallet of books to hit my snowy driveway sometime next week.
Which means that fulfillment can kick off as early as the following week. There's still a lot of picking and packing to do, as the entire process is a manual affair (many thanks to Mrs. Res Nova for the assistance), but we should be able to get smaller orders, especially those containing just the rulebook, out soon.
This means that for US domestic non-retail backers, expect to see shipping chargers arrive at your Backerkit account at the end of next week or the beginning of the following week (January 31-March 2). I know I had originally suggested mid-January, so hopefully the slight extension isn't problematic for any of you.
I've mentioned this in previous updates, but to repeat things here, the fulfillment schedule will look like this:
As the work of fulfillment unfolds, I'll have a clearer idea of what the timeframe looks like for wrapping everything up and will update all of you accordingly. If there are any questions, please contact me at [email protected], as I'll see such messages far more promptly than comments posted here.
Finally, we're just over two months away from Adepticon 2025. If you haven't seen our posts on Facebook, Adepticon will the the host of the first ever Warzone Eternal official tournament, the "Warzone Eternal Annual Championship 2025." The winner of that tournament will get to work with Bryan and I in designing one of the next units to be released for Warzone Eternal. On the first day of event registration the tournament almost sold out, with only a few spots remaining, so if you're interested in joining us at our inaugural event, grab a ticket soon!

Hey Warzone Eternal backers,
I'm thrilled to announce that the full PDF version of the rules is now available for you, and anyone else, to download at the link below (I've also posted the print-and-play token sheet as well):
Warzone Eternal Downloads Page
As described before, this is a stripped down version of the printed rulebook, containing only gameplay content, and will remain available to the Warzone community and be updated as errata or corrections are made. The table of contents contains linked bookmarks, which should make navigating the rules a breeze.
I'm incredibly happy to get this into all of your hands and can't wait for more of you to start playing the game.
Speaking of playing the game, in case you haven't heard already, Res Nova will be hosting the first official Warzone Eternal tournament at Adepticon, this March. The winner will work with Bryan and I to determine, and design, one of the next units released for the game. Badge and event registration for Adepticon opens up tomorrow at NOON Central Time (UTC-6), so be sure to bookmark the link below so you can grab your tickets to our inaugural event. I hope to see some of you there!

Hey Warzone Eternal backers, just a quick update for you.
With sorting of all of the Kickstarter goodies well underway, and the last items to be delivered assigned clear delivery dates by our manufacturing partners, it's time to get our shipping process in order. That means, to start, I need you all to make sure your addresses are correct!
I kept that open as long as possible to accommodate those of you who may have moved or otherwise prefer your package to go to a different address than that which you initially entered.
In addition to this email, you should be receiving an email from Backerkit shortly asking you to confirm your address. From delivery of that email Backerkit gives you 48 hours to make any necessary changes.
If for whatever reason you don't receive that email, you can always head directly to your Backerkit account using the survey recovery link found HERE and make any necessary address updates.
As always, if something goes awry, or you miss all of these emails entirely, please contact me directly at [email protected] and we'll work it out.
As a reminder from my last update, shipping fees will start to be charged later this month (I'll provide at least a week's prior notice via Kickstarter update) and we're kicking off fulfillment with our non-retail US backers first, as they're the least complicated and will be a good trial run for the fulfillment process.
The light at the end of the tunnel is getting bright folks!
