The Empire Spread Alchemical Devastation in Warcradle Studio’s February Releases

Looking to cement their position on the seas, the Celestian Empire prepare for their debut in the new edition of Dystopian Wars

The introduction of the new Empire Starter Set  marks the launch of the second faction for the new edition of Dystopian Wars, following closely behind the Crown. This incredibly versatile set offers plenty of build options to ensure it is equally valuable for any admiral looking to start playing the game or bring their current fleet into the new edition.

Sultanate portals can be seen deploying more reserves to the frontlines this month as the Ferik Battlegroup, Sultanate Infantry Regiment, and Sultanate Armoured Regiment also release this February for Armoured Clash. Expand your Sultanate army with these supplementary boxes to take control of the battlefield in larger point clashes.

All products are due to be released early February 2026.

Empire Starter Set

The Empire Faction Starter Set provides the perfect complement of miniatures to either begin or expand your Dystopian Wars Empire fleet. The Empire is infamous for its mastery of alchemical weaponry, deadly gases and unquenchable flames designed to sow terror and devastation amongst their foes.

Ferik Battlegroup Set

With an awesome vantage over friend and foe alike, the Ferik Command Skiff looms over the battlefield, its aetheric beam arrays carving incandescent trails of destruction through enemy ranks and armour columns.

From its gilded command decks, the Sultanate commander issues orders to their forces, coordinating the advance of Pillar of Light Hover Tanks as they surge forward in formation.

Sultanate Armoured Regiment

The Sultanate Armoured Regiment box allows you to add more heavy units to your Sultanate force.

Pillar of Light and Hayalet tanks hover implacably across the field, unleashing searing arcs of long-range fire.

Careening ahead of these vehicles are the Sipahi Monowheels, speeding over obstacles and infantry alike, leaving havoc and disorder in their wake.

Sultanate Infantry Regiment

The Sultanate Infantry Regiment box is the perfect way to expand your Sultanate force with fast and light options.

Stalwart Janissaries are the foundation of the Sultanate’s military, expert sharpshooters well-suited to holding key assets and locations. Mergen Transports carry these elite troops to where they are most needed, their breakneck advance across the battlefield covered by highly mobile Ulgen Field Guns.

Look To The Skies, Aircraft Inbound for Warcradle’s March releases

A new dimension to combat has opened up in Armoured Clash as aircraft for the released factions are coming this March. Get ready to add aerial units for the CrownEmpireUnion, and Enlightened with the Defiance FighterDoksuri FighterCorsair Fighter, and Scythe Drone, respectively.

Following the launch of the Enlightened last month, you can also bolster your army with the Wells Battlegroup Set, Enlightened Armoured Regiment, and Enlightened Infantry Regiment. These sets offer elements of the Enlightened Faction Battlegroup and are ideal for acquiring additional units for your army.

Finally, Union and Alliance players can add a legendary relic of the Ore War to their Dystopian Wars fleets as the Gotham Battlefleet Set is released this March. This Battlefleet Set offers a great mix of manoeuvrability and firepower, and it’s a great addition to any Union or Alliance.

These new products are due to be released at the end of March 2025.

Defiance Fighter

Boasting a tailgun as protection, an innovation that the other Great Powers deemed superfluous, dozens of Defiance class fighters are now based at RFC Lakenheath Warren, each ready to set flight at a moment’s notice to defend the Crown against her enemies

Defiance Fighter

Doksuri Fighter

Boasting a resin-lacquer shell, combined with the hanji paper of Korea, the fuselage of the Doksuri Fighter is flexible, light and durable, making it significantly more manoeuvrable than many of the fighters employed by the other Great Powers

Doksuri Fighter

Corsair Fighter

Pilots are known for both their bravery in the face of fire and their hotheadedness, and it is this impetuousness that seems intrinsically linked to those who dare strap themselves into a Corsair cockpit. Liberty Gatling Cannons rake the ground once a Corsair begins its strafing run, tearing apart infantry and light targets alike.

Corsair Fighter

Scythe Drone

Scythe Drones bring aerial support to the forces of the Covenant. Lightweight, fast, and eminently replaceable, these machines streak across the combat zone, unleashing their particle beam weapon upon anyone unfortunate enough to attract their ire.

Scythe Drone

Wells Battlegroup Set

The Wells Super-Heavy Surveyor is a behemoth worthy of such nomenclature. Looming over even the Monarch Landship of the Crown, it is a walking testament to the rightful superiority of the Covenant. Its aetheric destabilizer is rightly feared by the other Great Powers, for it does not simply destroy its targets but annihilates them completely.

Wells Battlegroup Set

Enlightened Armoured Regiment

In the Enlightened Armoured Regiment Box you’ll find heavy support for your Enlightened force.

Mars Battle Tripods stride towards the enemy, eager to unleash beams of blazing energy capable of disintegrating anything in their path.

Enlightened Armoured Regiment

Enlightened Infantry Regiment

In the Enlightened Infantry Regiment Box you’ll find support for your Enlightened force.

Citizen-Soldiers drawn from across the globe march together, their training and augmentations helping them operate as a cohesive unit, despite their disparate origins.

Enlightened Infantry Regiment

Gotham Battlefleet Set

The Gotham Battlefleet Set for Dystopian Wars is an excellent way for a Union or Alliance player to include a relic of the Ore War in their fleet.

The Gotham Littoral Fleet Carrier was rightly feared during the bloody conflicts of the Ore War. Despite its size, the shallow draught allowed it to access coastlines, estuaries and the larger rivers of the Americas.

Mark Waid and Barry Kitson’s Empire Continues with an Uprising

Empire Uprising 1The IDW Publishing / Thrillbent partnership kicks off with Empire, the fan-favorite series by Mark Waid and Barry Kitson. In April, IDW will be releasing a print edition of the original Empire graphic novel as well as the first issue of its monthly sequel, Empire: Uprising, that continues the story of Golgoth, the most marked man in the universe.

Empire: Uprising, which is being serialized in weekly digital installments at the Thrillbent website, picks up a year after the events of the original Empire, and much has changed for Golgoth, the first super-villain to conquer the world. The question becomes, can he hold onto his reign—and does he even want to? This exciting debut issue will feature two new covers by series artist Kitson.

The new trade paperback edition of the original, out-of-print Empire storyline will also contain exclusive, never-before seen material from Barry Kitson. This is the story that Golgoth, a remorseless villain whose plans for world domination have won him the planet Earth… and made him the target of every inhabitant.

And Empire is only the beginning! The IDW/Thrillbent team-up kicks into high gear in May with the print debut of Mark Waid and Peter Krause’s Insufferable.

Empire Rising 2

Thrillbent Comes to IDW and Print!

EmpireIn 2012, award-winning comics writer Mark Waid and writer/producer John Rogers launched Thrillbent, a digital comics webportal and an experiment in new-media comic-book publishing. Their mission statement: “To challenge 75 years’ worth of accepted ‘rules’ about what comics are and aren’t.” The commitment to this challenge continues as Thrillbent and IDW Publishing partner to bring these unique digital comics to print starting spring 2015.

Over the past two years, Thrillbent has worked with more than 60 creators to publish nearly 20 ongoing digital-only series (and counting) that span all genres, from horror to humor to high adventure. The first series slated for print release under this partnership will be Empire Volume Two and Insufferable, both written by Waid.

Empire Volume Two is a sequel to the Eisner-nominated series co-created by Waid and artist Barry Kitson from 2000, which Waid describes as “the single most-asked about project in my career–‘When’s Empire coming back?’ is the one question I know I’ll hear at every convention or store signing”. Waid and Kitson have joined forces once again in 2014 to deliver new installments that continue the saga of Golgoth, a remorseless villain whose plans for world domination have won him the planet Earth… and made him the target of every inhabitant. As a kickoff to the larger Thrillbent partnership, IDW will produce an all-new edition of the long-sold-out Empire Volume One and launch it just ahead of Empire v2. Both books will debut next spring.

Also by Waid, with co-creator Peter Krause, Insufferable is a series that explores what happens when a crime fighter’s sidekick grows up to be less a hero constantly at war with his mentor–and what it would take to draw the two back together again for one last adventure. Krause, also Waid’s partner in crime on the 2007 series Irredemable, provides the artwork on this unique look at the superhero genre.
