Warcaster: The Thousand Worlds Kickstarter Now Live
July 14, 2021 by brennon
Privateer Press is now live with more Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika Kickstarter for a brand new campaign. The Thousand Worlds offers up brand new Sci-Fi miniatures for the factions in the game and more.
The Thousand Worlds Kickstarter Now Live // Warcaster
The new campaign follows the ongoing exploits of the various factions in Hyperuranion. New Faction Cadres are front and centre of this campaign which will offer up a full set of miniatures for you to tinker with around a new theme.
Alliance Regulators // Warcaster
Dragoon Air Cavalry // Warcaster
As well as all of the new Faction Cadres, you can also pick up a new The Thousand Worlds Sourcebook which will contain rules and lore for this expanding Warcaster campaign.
The Thousand Worlds Book // Warcaster
This particular book will fold all of the previously published game rules into a single tome whilst also updating the force-building requirements you'll need to adhere to. It will also feature errata and such from previous rules documents for Warcaster.
Terminus Cabal // Warcaster
As well as the miniatures for the different Cadres and the new Sourcebook, we also have some new miniatures in the form of Wild Card Heroes too. Pledge levels will offer up you the chance to get one or all of them free which is pretty neat. There will, of course, also be all manner of stretch goals and such that will give you access to more miniatures.
The Harbingers Of Cyriss // Warcaster
This new Kickstarter comes with all manner of fun options for those who have been enjoying Warcaster so far.
Pledge Options
There are a couple of pledge options for you to choose from when it comes to diving into the newest campaign.
Commander Pledge // Warcaster
The Commander Pledge gives you one of the lower end pledge options. This comes with a variety of the different Hunter Cadres to play around with including some of the Wild Card Heroes mentioned above.
Void Master Pledge // Warcaster
You can also get your hands on the BIG Void Master Pledge which comes with a range of additional heroes, solos and Wild Cards for you to include in your force. If you a fiend for all things Warcaster then this is the pledge to take a peek at.

Ooh me likey the big stompy units. All the figures are fabulous looking.
Great looking stuff.
Perhaps I am in the minority but I feel the constant need to utilize Kickstarter shows how far PP has fallen. I was a Press Ganger until they disbanded the program and feel the are now a far cry from the GW competitor they once professed to be. Can’t think of a nearby store that has excitement for any of their games at the moment.
That said, some of these look cool. Perhaps they will work nicely in Stargrave.
I’m surprised they are still afloat as a company. Their stuff routinely receives zero buzz, and they’ve made a fair share of anti-consumer moves in the past few years that has scared folks off.
There’s still a small but active community of WarmaHordes players around, but PP has really made some foolish moves in the past several years that has led to them losing a lot of their credit as a good company. The fact that the past couple Kickstarters they’ve done have been so successful shows that there’s still some interest out there for their products, or else no one would have bothered, but decisions like getting rid of the Press Gangers, charging to use card packs on their apps, and all but shutting down the forums have really hurt them. I still… Read more »
I like these. I really do. They’re nice sculpts.
But you get a leader, and the duplicates. No doubt they’ll be metals, or godawful metal and resin/restic.
Look, I get it, they’re not sitting on bags and bags and bags of cash – so.. how about doing the sculpting and offering an STL file – or what the 3d printing is now.
Even some very small companies – one man bands almost – are offering more variety.
Am I just knackered and being unnecessarily hard on Privateer?
I spent a fair bit of cash of Warmachine/Hordes armies as I have three pretty large forces (Circle, Cryx, Cygnar) and some mercs. I even upgraded to 3.0 rules and bought the cards (when then used to sell them instead of post online as pdf).
I like their world (more than 40k and AoS) and they do some great sculpts (although some of their metals are fiddly to assemble).
But Warcaster just doesn’t work for me. It seems too expensive to get a decent sized force with enough variety… and I have plenty of skirmish games already to be honest.
Took me a while to digest and understand the rules when they came out last year, there are some interesting things in here though and in principle I would have liked to play it. But the model material, quality and price completely put me off. First time ever I ruled out getting into a game purely on cost. For me it’s too expensive for what it is and what it requires to get into the game to play it properly.
I’ve been a privateer press fan for quite a number of years, going back to the first time I saw the game in Harbinger magazine I should imagine. I’ve not loved every model they’ve ever released, but I’ve really loved a lot of them, trolls and gators. More than the models I live the look and feel of the world they created, the history, the world building. And I’ve loved a bunch of the additional stuff, including the minicrate. But try as I might I just can’t get excited for this, I was curious when it was teased, but not… Read more »
I was never a big fan of the PP aesthetic when it came to models. They had that 90’s over-the-top feel to them that wasn’t my thing. Nonetheless, I have to say that this game is good. I have played it and it is engaging and different to most sci-fi skirmish games – original if you wish. The miniature style might not be everyone’s cup of tea and the price is exaggerated imo, but I have decided to buy into it. I do not back the Kickstarters, instead I wait until the new models are available and build up my… Read more »
