Warcradle Studios acquires the Dystopian and Firestorm settings


Warcradle Studios is proud to announce it has acquired all rights and materials relating to the Dystopian Wars,
Firestorm Armada and Uncharted Seas settings.
Dystopian Wars, Dystopian Legions, Armoured Clash, Firestorm Armada, Firestorm Planetfall and Uncharted Seas
were created by the team at Spartan Games and we are excited to now be able to explore those settings further.
We will also be developing and expanding on a large number of exciting scenic products to support those ranges.
Who are Warcradle Studios?

Warcradle Studios has already successfully developed Wild West Exodus and is the creative studio for Wayland
Games Limited, the largest independent tabletop hobby retailer in Europe. Warcradle Studios is able to draw
on their considerable experience in the industry and partner that with a passionate and focused creative
team keen to develop quality, innovative and exciting tabletop hobby experiences for a global audience.
Warcradle Studios are continuing to look for future exciting settings and ranges to develop.

Have Wayland Games purchased Rebel Publishing, the company that owned Spartan Games?

No, Rebel Publishing remains the company responsible for any Kickstarter or retail/trade activities that took
place prior when they ceased trading.
I am owed products from Rebel Publishing. How can I get them or my money back?

Backers or customers of Rebel Publishing should get in contact with the Administrators for any issues relating
to Kickstarters or purchases. Contacting Paypal or your credit card companies would be our recommendation
for trying to getting any money back from anything relating to a transaction you may have had with
Rebel Publishing.

While we are not liable to do so, if there are any Kickstarter custom items that have been produced (such as
personalised rulebooks) we will endeavour to look at how best to pass these on to the relevant backer. We will
contact the Kickstarter backers directly regarding any developments on this. However it is important to be
clear that there are no miniatures to be sent out for backers and that the Kickstarter was by Rebel Publishing
and any liability or queries relating to it remains with Rebel Publishing.

What about stock that Rebel Publishing held?

There has been very little stock given over to us by Rebel Publishing. We are not able to fulfil any pledges or
orders given to Rebel Publishing.

Will you be making any of the exclusive miniatures from the Kickstarter available?

We believe that customers should have the chance to get all the miniatures for our games. Even if a miniature
is made as a show exclusive (such as the Captain Nimue we released last year) we intend to then make it
available at retail the following year. Miniatures such as the Ice Maiden and others will be released as part of
the relaunched game in the new year.

Why purchase Dystopian Wars, Firestorm and Uncharted Seas?

We are huge fans of the games and settings. Early in our relationship with Spartan Games our MD Richard
Lawford was keen to buy an entire print run of Dystopian Wars to give away to every gaming club in the world
(that we could find!). We are thrilled to be able to help shape and secure an exciting future for these games.

What is going to happen to the Dystopian, Firestorm and Uncharted games?

We are actively looking to bring the games to a wide audience from next year. Through Warcradle Studios,
Wayland Games is investing in all aspects of the design, development and supply. Retailers can look forward
to an easy to use ordering system, clear communication on the availability of stock and direct support
from Warcradle Studios to ensure they can make the most of these exciting ranges and deliver the same to
their customers.

Warcradle Studios are committed to producing an exciting range of new plastic and resin miniatures to support
the growth of our games. These will build on the established releases as well as introduce new narrative and
competitive gaming opportunities.

Warcradle Studios are planning in-store organised play support for their games as well as a range of exciting
events planned throughout 2018 and beyond.

Look out for our announcements of new products and show attendance in the coming weeks.
