Well, to summarize, the 2.5 edition of the game takes picks up in 1876. The first phase of the world war ended in 1873 with a de facto cease fire, as the world entered a 3 year rebuilding phase. Now, that cease fire is falling apart, and the war is heating up again. It looks like Africa will be the first arena where conflict is flaring up.
The League of Crimson are an ancient mercenary/assassin group...think League of Extraordinary Gentlemen combined with the club that Jon Wick belonged to
. The Egyptians were the pick from the poll that Spartan ran for the new faction that was unlocked as a stretch goal during the KS campaign; their shtick is that they drive large hovercraft around.
The Kickstarter's left me in the dust too ... I feel like there's this whole new storyline and expansion that backers know about, but I don't.
It's okay though <cough...40K> I've got plenty else <40K> to spend my attention <40K> and money on <40K>. Its not like I couldn't keep playing DW <when there's no 40K game> using my older fleet stuff, which I still need to paint <after 40K>.
I know! All of a sudden I have an urge to start painting up all the Imperial Guard infantry I've had tucked away for years
