Airship Campaigns Nearing Completion
The additional content, creatures, art and lore is almost finished for the book everyone! And that means we will be sending the files off to the manufacturer soon for test printing and approval. As soon as that gets sorted, we will be moving into mass production and the ball will officially be ROLLING!! Woohoo! I will update everyone on the final product in July when the PDF will be ready for distribution with all of its new content!
Print & Paint Winners!
Hey everyone! So sorry for the delay. It was just SO difficult to pick the winners. Know this, the team and I are absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the submissions from everyone. And I have learned A LOT during this print and paint competition. Namely among the things learned is - we need categories next time! It was clear that the larger ships were harder for people to print and paint within the time frame and so, next time, we will have a better category system for ship classes, scenes, paint only specifics, and overall winners. The next one will be amazing!
Since it was so hard to pick our top 10, we are going to give consolation Amazon Gift cards worth $100 each to the 10 runner ups as well from places 11th - 20th. These ships just take so much love and attention to print and paint, I think it's only right. I just wish I could give prizes out to everyone who entered =(.
If you are not in the top 20, please know that we appreciate your submission so much. It was SO much fun looking through each and every submission, reading the lore blurbs and explanations you all put on each entry and just seeing our ships come to life through your eyes and skills! Thank you EVERYONE who entered your beautiful pieces of art!
Now, onto the winners!
THANK YOU EVERYONE
Honestly, I wish I could pick 20 more people to award prizes to. And the next competition, the prizes will be even better, you can be sure of that! With more categories including miniatures, monsters, ships, scenes, etc. It's going to be epic!
Congratulations to all of the winners. Please expect contact this week through email from Arcane Minis. You will have 4 weeks to respond and get your prizes sorted out (shipping addresses needed for those with physical prizes).
Thanks everyone!

Roshan Cruiser High-Res Map!
Hey everyone. Well, the final high-res map is now ready for release! It has been added to the map packs! If you have access to the Airship Campaigns PDF, you will find it in the "Airship Campaigns - PDF" object on MyMiniFactory with the other ship maps. If you're a Airship Campaigns physical book only backer, you will find it in the "Airship Maps - Airship Campaigns Core High-Resolution Maps" Object. Here are a couple of the decks as a sampling with their grid! (non grid files are there too!)
Painting Competition Winners Announced Next Week!
Apologies on the delay for the painting competition winners, everyone. We have been so slammed with getting the Airship Campaigns additional content sorted and edited that we've been a bit hectic!
The winners will be announced and contacted on our update next Friday! Again, I apologize for the delay of the winners being selected. I want the team and I to have the right amount of time to look over all of the entries and give them all a good look!
That's it for now! Be safe everyone!

Happy Friday Everyone!
First things is first, please fill in your Backerkit surveys there are still over 500 backers who have not completed their surveys. So please check that out! I have just resent reminders to all backers who have yet to fill out their survey and complete any addons they may want =)
Don't forget we have a tracker for all of the items being worked on and to be delivered
PDF / Printed Book Additional Content Progress
Well, we are nearing the completion of all of the additional content for the PDF and the printed book. It'll be another 80-100 pages added to the book by the end of everything! Currently we are doing the following:
- Updating, correcting and streamlining the stat blocks from the current creatures, ships, items, and systems in the book
- Finishing the new lore, art and stat blocks for all of the new creatures and ships being added
- Finishing and editing the new magic items, bionics, firearms, etc being added to the book
- Doing the art for the North Bordair map (this is the one that will be printed and given for free to all printed book backers) and the worldwide continent with the jet streams mechanics and lore.
- Finishing the editing of the entire book and really upping the quality level of the content to something we can be fully proud of.
There is more than this, but it's all rather boring! Everything should be finished and released in PDF format by early July. It may not be the final final version of the PDF, but it will be nearly there and almost ready to send off for printing! Very exciting stuff!
Final High-Res Core Ship Map Coming Next Week!
The Roshan is finally finished for its high-res digital map version (this is also the map that will be turned into the map tiles we are selling as addons!) Here are some teases for the maps! =)
Again, ALL PDF and Printed Book backers have access to the high-res digital maps!
STL Releases & Updates
We have almost all of the core STL files released already. The only 2 left are the 2 Skarrow Class Shard Guardians! They are being worked on now and will be out by July!
We are releasing another stretch goal STL today as well. That means we only have about half of the stretch goal STLs to deliver too! We are right on schedule. Today, we are releasing the Morgius and its Morgi! The stats for this, like the other stretch goal STLs, will be in the book and PDF!
That's all for now everyone! More updates coming next week. Please don't forget to complete your surveys!

The Print & Paint Competition is over!
We did it! After months of printing, we have had over 110 entry submissions into the print and paint competition. Totally shocked with the stunning amount of entries!
We will be judging them over the next 1 - 2 weeks to come up with all 10 winners! Good luck to everyone who entered and thanks to all those who submitted all of these beautiful pieces of artwork.
What's Next?
Once we have announced the winners, I will contact every winner by email and send them a message on MyMiniFactory. Each winner will have 2 weeks to acknowledge and provide the requested information (shipping will be covered by Arcane Minis / our partners, but each winner will be responsible for any duties applicable to their country of residence).
We will do another post and showcase all of the winners in another post!
Again, I wanna thank everyone who submitted these beautiful pieces of artwork!
Thanks everyone! There will be updates coming for the next PDF & STL Updates on Friday!

Siphit Alpha's Released! Limited Time Offering of Arcane Dragon from Skies of Sordane!
over 3 years ago

Hey everyone! New STL release here!
We have the Siphit Alpha's ready for release! These guys don't have stats in the PDF yet, but they will (and in the printed book too when all is said and done!)
If you supported an STL tier level, you can download these beasties right now!
Limited Time Reoffering of the Arcane Dragon from Skies of Sordane!
As you may well be aware, we recently teamed up again with MiniMonsterMayhem for our second Kickstarter campaign - Airship Campaigns. Lee at MMM did our Arcane Black Dragon Dragon, Black Dragon and our Grimhulks (which I love!).
As a thank you to Lee and MMM for doing such an amazing job. And as a gesture of good faith for the patrons over there, we have decided to give away the original Arcane Dragon for 3 days only in the final days of MMM's May release! That's right. Our limited time, Kickstarter Exclusive Arcane Dragon STL is being released one more time through MMM's Patreon!
I have had countless people ask me about this specific dragon and it has killed me that I haven't been able to give it to them!
So here it is. You can get the original Arcane Dragon if you support MiniMonsterMayhem for the month of May. You only have a couple of days left so jump on it now if you want it. After this month, it will not be released again. This is a unique, one time good faith offer to our friends at MiniMonsterMayhem!
Print & Paint Competition Ending Soon!
Well, the long runing Print and Paint Competition is ending soon! It has been a long few months to have people print the ships out and we are nearing the end! Check out all of the current submissions here. The final time for entry is before June 1st 2021 at 12:01 am EST. This means that you have right until midnight on May 31st (EST) to submit your entry on the competition page!
Thanks everyone! Enjoy your weekend! =)
