Greetings! As the relaunch of Dystopian Wars approaches, I felt it would be a good opportunity to take a look back at the history of the game, and reminisce a bit about its origins and past life. This winter will mark both the 10th anniversary of the original game’s 2010 launch, and the re-launch of Warcradle’s version of the game, which is all the more reason to take a little walk down memory lane! This post is going to be focused on the major product releases for DW. While writing this post, I mainly drew on Spartan’s email newsletters (which are still lurking in my Gmail inbox after all these years!) as well as news posts here and there from websites such as Tabletop Gaming News. Let’s get on with it, shall we?

I actually painted the first pre-production models for the DW range, which were not the dark schemes that came along later. You can see a couple at http://www.conflictincolour.com
Then the studio decided on a gritty finish for the box art.
Fascinating! Thank you for the insight, Mark. FWIW, I rather like your take on the models. I was never a huge fan of the air-brushed style used on some of Spartan’s studio models.
