I am curious, what "certain assets" are.

Warcradle has rescued everything (but HALO ...we expected that)

Hi

 We have some great news from Warcradle Studios!

 We are proud to announce that we have 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 these settings further. We will also be developing and expanding on a large number of exciting scenic products to support these ranges.

 We are actively working to bring the games to a wide audience from next year. Through Warcradle Studios, Wayland Games will be investing in all aspects of the design, development and supply of these worlds.

 We 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.

 We are planning in-store organised play support for our 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!

 Take a look at our announcement on Beasts of War!

"All Materials" means current sculpts remain active too!

I really like how Warcradle has been investing in revamping Wild West Exodus, and their booth was one of the coolest things at GenCon. So this bodes well for long term!

[Wanjajoral]

Did you hear this? Plastic? Not that I dislike the Spartan Resin (it is actually one of the few I really liked), but plastic is always a tad nicer to work with.
Wayland is certainly a good choice for the IPs - it would not have been my first choice, but they handle Wild West Exodus nicely and they have the potential to reach a wider audience - so I am hopeful for the future.

[Fracas]

Great news!

[RuleBritannia]

Plastic legions?

[Landlubber]

Very happy to hear this--I wish the Halo games could have been saved, but I know there are other issues going on there.

Spartan launched some great game systems, but just couldn't follow through on the vision. Maybe Warcradle can take these great systems and really make them shine!

Warcradle Studios have just given a press release announcing that they have acquired the rights to Dystopian Wars, Firestorm Armada and Uncharted Seas.

Thoughts?

[Lord Nobody]

Great!  Except now I have to pay for the same figures I bought before.

[Ruckdog]

All, I merged the two topics that got started about this .

Suffice to say, I am happy to hear that the core Spartan IPs got picked up by a new company, and I'm cautiously optimistic about the future for these games!

[Creon]

I say hoorah!  Way land can distribute effectively.

[Landlubber]

"...exciting scenic products..."

Can't wait to see what they have in mind!

[Fracas]

I am skeptical about the plastic part
They mentioned it for their Wild West exodus a year ago and still nothing?
Meanwhile they are recruiting for a resin worker


I remain positive about their plan to resurrect spartan thought

Hi Fracas, Skeptical about plastics?


We have produced some new plastics already for WWX, we also have loads with tool making companies at various stages of production. It is not quick getting a tool made. We are taking steps to speed up the process but it takes time.

PS I am Wayland's MD.

This is awesome!
I love that you are here and I stand corrected!

You should start a thread!
