I will be prepping "Aztec-0", "Aztec-50", and "Aztec-100" versions of the models, and Jean and Steve will decide which go in the store.

Glad to see some enthusiasm over this.

You will see much more from me now that I know these will become the official Shapeways models.

Bring on the STT!!!

The STT is on my list, but well down it. I have to do the basic Cheetah, Jaguar, Tiger, Panther, Ocelot, PF, and more....

I'd settle for a CA...
I can make an STT from that...

Of course, maulers wont be in ACTASF till at least Book 3 and probably not until Book 4.
So there's time.

Well, ACTASF is only one of the four tactical games. Lyrans are in three of them so far (SFB, FC, Starmada) and Maulers in at least one of those with experimental rules for one more.

While ACTASF is miniatures-driven, it's only a small part of the market. We really need to increase sales 500%, hire six new design people to work in Amarillo, and get all of the games up the same level.

OK.

Maulers are fairly easy to do in ACTASF and the three mauler using races will be in the game as of Book 3 - so maulers SHALL be included in Book 3.

And I plan to have all of Book 3 ready for you by the end of the year (that's 2017, not 2018).

Due to various circumstances, Lyran release has been delayed until August. This will allow us to present a much better quality product with more of the ships players will love.

I apologize but as this is no longer merely a hobby project, I will not be posting work-in-progress images here without clearance from ADB.

I'm of two minds about his.
On the one hand, I was looking forward to a new, larger Lyran to paint...
On the other hand, Now I will have more of them...

I love it.

My wallet OTOH hates it!

While I work on these -- pics are up over on the Discus board -- I am eyeing my Y-series modules and wondering what sort of interest there might be in the Lyran W-series ships. The Y-series ships are pretty close to identical to the modern ones and would be fairly easy to sculpt, but the W-series would require some interesting rethinking.

*grin* Glad to hear it, Burr. Hope you love them more when they're in your hand.

Just got in my test prints of the final design on DD, DDS, CW, and CA, in WSF.

They look GREAT. Will be getting at least one painted and photographed over the next day or so.

Ordered mine in FUD yesterday.
Hopefully, I'll get some pics up soon.
