NEW ALIENS!

WHALOIDS - new Add-On

This is a 2 inch by 2 inch super-sized mini. It uses more plastic so we have to make it an add-on.

Whaloids ROCK in Dirtside! They get water bonuses for movement and they take half-damage.

*ALL WHALOID BACKERS FROM BATTLESTATIONS WILL GET THIS MINI AUTOMATICALLY.*

LIVE STREAM Q&A TONIGHT 6pm Pacific on Facebook!

Let's take this home!

BEHOLD THE VRAKTIAN BEHEMOTH!
almost 5 years ago – Thu, Jun 27, 2019 at 02:08:51 AM

The Vraktian Behemoth has risen!

This is a new Add-On mini that is over 120mm high (4 inches). Please consider getting it so we can hit our final stretch goals!

The Vraktian Behemoth has appeared in various Battlestations references since before the Pirates of Trundlia. Now it can hit your table with a vengeance.

There are rules for how this thing reaches out and grabs people. It has armor that you figure by rolling a die and squaring it. It scales up based on the Mission Difficulty. This bad boy will thunder across the landscape and bring terror to those in its path.

I had hoped to make it a stretch goal or a bonus gift in case the looming tariffs don't materialize but the fact is the Vraktian behemoth is too big to be a throw-in and too awesome to leave out.

Heavy Weapons Upgrade

We modified the vehicles, including tanks, heavy lifters, cars, and bikes. Now if you buy the Heavy Weapons add-on you can put the weapons on the vehicles!

Heavy Weapons Add-On can now be added to an upgraded vehicle!

THE PLANET UPDATE! - New planets unlocked, plus, PLANET BUILDER and the Planetary Governor tier!
almost 5 years ago – Wed, Jun 26, 2019 at 07:43:18 PM

These last two days are great; we are unlocking stretch goals and reaching towards my dream of unlocking the last 3 species.

This update is mostly about planets. Here's two videos, one about the Planetary Governor tier, and one about a couple of the new planets we unlocked via stretch goals.

We have two more huge announcements I am hoping to make tomorrow night, so stay tuned!

Build a Planet - Planetary Governor Tier

Here's a preview of the Java app we're building to let backers at the Planetary Governor level build their own planet. All planets will be actually playable in the game, using the 9 double-sided boards, plus the additional terrain tiles.

New Planets Stretch Goal Unlocked! 

Roll for Crit Interview!

Check out this interview of me from Roll for Crit! I met Jonathan at PAX Unplugged in December, and I really appreciate his dedication to the hobby.

We unlocked the new black bases! Hooray and thank you.

I don't know what to do to get more backers, so instead I'm going to just try to make you guys happy!

At $140,000 we will give all Dirtside backers...

...well, see for yourself!

Let's all give thanks for cannons, lifters and tanks. Tanks are armored, treaded, moving cannons. They are made by combining a heavy lifter body and a turret mini.
