While waiting for the first U.S. and Nazi minis, why not exploring the other factions? War of Wonders is based on WW II historical facts, and as such all the major countries at war will have their troops and Meta-Humans ready to join the action.

Of course we couldn't ignore Soviet Russia! The Zvezda (Star) is the first and most important Meta-Human squad created by O.K.G.S.S. (Organizazzionniy Komitet Geroev Sovetskova Soyuza – “Committe for the Organization of Soviet People's Heroes”) by enlisting Natural Prodigies and creating new ones in Soviet laboratories, using old mutation chambers received from the U.S.

Sadly the procedures killed many candidates, but the scientists paid no heed to the high death toll and persisted 'till they managed to create the two most powerful Soviet Meta-Humans: the resilient Ataman and the Abomination known as Zveroboi.

You can read their stories in the Faction section of our blog, and see some original artworks from our artists following this link. Enjoy!

Our sincerest apologies, this update arrives far later than we expected. The post-KS routine and the preparation of the next RPG rulebooks for Lucca Comics & Games 2015 sucked our time pretty much.

But we're glad to announce today that our international partner completed the backers' funds collection and the miniatures are getting printed by Greebo Games in high quality white metal. As soon as we have the first pics, we'll share them with you!

At the same time we're revisiting War of Wonders Miniature Game's rules with the feedbacks received from our backers during and after the KS campaign. We're considering their interesting suggestions and testing them on the battlefield, and we'll post news about this process too, to keep you constantly updated through the months still separating us from the finished product.

Stay tuned and keep playing!

The Kickstarter has been funded!

Our sincerest thanks to all our backers for making it possible, for supporting the project and providing important feedbacks throughout the campaign.

Let's face it, we hoped for a better result, more backers and more stretch goals unlocked to produce many more Meta-Humans and special squads with the Kickstarter, but we probably paid for our inexperience with the KS tools and did some mistakes. We were able to amend some of them on the run, others were not so easy to cope with.

Nonetheless, thanks to your support and interest for the game, for the miniatures and for the extensive background of War of Wonders, we'll be able to produce the promised basic set: 4 Meta-Humans (The Flag, Firefly, Brunhild and Dr. Nachtmahr) and 2 troop squads (US Rangers and German Arisches Korps). Also, as previously announced, we'll produce the first Japanese Meta-Human Yashamaru, even if the funds dwindled under the 5.000 € required to unlock the stretch goal.

We think this is a necessary gesture of consideration and respect towards our backers, and also enough of an answer to those wondering about the future of the game now: we of course intend to produce it and widen the range of miniatures, adding the missing factions, special squads and more characters.

Stay tuned for more!

Yashamaru's 3D sculpt is now complete. Have a look and share your comments and feedbacks with us on the Facebook page.

Yashamaru, Shinobi del Villaggio dell'Acqua, è la prima miniatura giapponese che sarà prodotta attraverso il Kickstarter di War of Wonders. La miniatura è stata sbloccata la scorsa settimana e il nostro scultore si è subito messo al lavoro!

Ecco a voi la prima immagine del work in progress, ci auguriamo che sia di vostro gradimento.

Non manca molto perché anche anche i paracadutisti giapponesi dei Crimson Dragons vengano sbloccati, dato che sono stati l'opzione più votata nel sondaggio aperto sulla pagina di supporto al Kickstarter di War of Wonders.

Continuate a sostenere il Kickstarter e conquistate anche la fazione giapponese!

When Dark Mages revealed themselves to the world as allies of Nazi Germany, the young Jesper St. Clare tried to warn the Order of the Observers to which he belongs. Receiving a cold shoulder from the warlocks, who chose to stay neutral, he knocked at the door of Raimondo Di Sangro, Prince of San Severo, a centuries-old Observer, extremely powerful and loathed by the Order of the Observers itself.
He is the creator of Albedo, Rubedo and Nigredo Alchemic Works and of the weird contraptions called Devilries, where they're inserted. These alchemically distilled gems donate dark and devastating powers to people with pre-existing arcane training: they become Technomancers.
The Order of the Observers considers Technomancers nothing less than abominations, and still St. Clare formed a small squad of Technomancers to fight Nazi Dark Mages.

Each alchemic gem creates a different kind of Technomancer.
Nimrods are Dark Mage hunters, and they use Devilries fueled by Albedo Alchemic Works to track, chase and trap them.
Spriggans are like sappers, and use Devilries fueled by Rubedo Alchemic Works to deprive Dark Mages of their powers or block them.
Vanquishers are the destroyers, tasked with exterminating Dark Mages using Devilries fueled by Nigredo Alchemic Works.

St. Clare Technomages special squad is one of the stretch goals of War of Wonders Kickstarter. Support it now to bring them to life!
 

Quando i Maghi Oscuri si sono rivelati al mondo al servizio della Germania nazista, il giovane mago Jesper St. Clare ha cercato di mettere in guardia l'Ordine degli Osservatori di cui fa parte. Non ricevendo alcun sostegno dalla congrega di maghi, i quali preferiscono rimanere neutrali rispetto alla guerra in corso, si è allora rivolto a Raimondo di Sangro, Principe di San Severo, un Osservatore vecchio di secoli, potentissimo e inviso all'Ordine.
Egli è il creatore delle Opere Alchemiche di Albedo, Rubedo e Nigredo, e dei marchingegni chiamati Diavolerie nelle quali esse vengono installate, in grado di donare poteri oscuri e devastati a soggetti già istruiti nelle arti della magia: essi diventano allora Tecnomanti.
Per i Maghi dell'Ordine degli Osservatori i Tecnomanti rappresentano un'aberrazione intollerabile, ma St. Clare ha comunque formato una piccola squadra di Tecnomanti per combattere i Maghi Oscuri nazisti.

Ciascuna Opera Alchemica dà vita a un diverso genere di Tecnomante.
I Nimrod sono i  cacciatori di Maghi Oscuri, e si servono delle Diavolerie alimentate da Opere Albedo per rintracciarli, seguirli e catturarli.
Gli Spriggan sono i guastatori, e usano Diavolerie alimentate da Opere Rubedo per rendere inermi i Maghi Oscuri, sconvolgendo o inibendo i loro poteri magici.
Infine i Vanquisher sono i distruttori, che si occupano di sterminare i Maghi Oscuri servendosi delle Diavolerie alimentate da Opere Nigredo.

La squadra speciale di Tecnomaghi di St. Clare è uno degli stretch goal del Kickstarter di War of Wonders.  Supporta il Kickstarter oggi stesso !

The Wuderkammern were created by Dr. Freida Weber, who theorised them during her formative years at University. Her studies concerning the superiority of the Aryan race were disputed by her teachers, and the debate that followed forced her to abandon the academy. The newly founded Nazi party, however, found her theories much more interesting. They approached her, promising financial support to allow her to carry on with her research – a promise that they kept after Adolf Hitler came to power.

The Wunderkammern radiate the test subject with the rays of the Black Sun, transforming his or her body and mind patterns and thus giving him or her supernatural powers.

Unfortunately, at least in the early stages, the procedure is unstable and quite often it ends with the death of the candidate.

When Jews, homosexuals and gypsies start being deported, Dr. Weber’s labs receive a growing influx of human Guinea pigs on which to experiment. With time it becomes more evident that some people are more suitable than others for those experiments.

The “Eureka” moment comes when Dr. Aaron Spiegelmann, a Polish man with Jewish origins, undergoes the treatment. His body withers and becomes deformed, his cranium grows beyond any imagination – but he is the first person to survive more than two weeks after the treatment. His mental faculties grow well above average, and seem to be constantly developing.

The Nazi charge him with the further development and the stabilisation of the mutation process, thus taking it off Dr. Weber’s hands despite her having personally originated the whole thing. Dr. Weber, filled with hatred, becomes convinced that Dr. Spiegelmann is plotting against the project itself. She finds proof of it when in the mutation chamber is brought Jürgen Cranigh, a mediocre soldier with dubious morality.

With a trick, Dr. Spiegelmann rushes Cranigh’s mutation without waiting for the Wunderkammer to cool properly, causing its explosion.

Cranigh, however, still mutates: the result is Fenrir, a blood-thirsty, brainless beast, incapable to tell friends from enemies.

To avoid Fenrir’s fury, Dr. Weber is forced to hide in the Wunderkammer itself. As Fenrir lays waste to the lab and devours its occupants, the mutation chamber is somehow triggered. The chamber explodes again, and from it emerges a new superhuman being, with unimaginable powers: Dr. Weber mutated into something that the Germans will call Brunhild.

The Axis just saw the birth of the two most powerful Meta-Humans in the world, but as it happened Dr. Spiegelmann managed to flee without a trace…
