Awaken Realms Painting Studio: The Edge Kickstarter Preview


Awaken Realms Painting Studio: Come closer and dive into the grim post-apocalyptic steampunk universe - see origins of new adventure and help to forge it.

The Edge is planned to be a standalone universe with a long term development plan. We are keeping consistency in all of our miniatures and story. We are dedicated to create a great universe with compelling story and grim, steampunk environment, supported by well-thought and fun to play mechanics and the best quality models. Models will be set to 28mm scale and will range from smaller infantry through beasts and vehicles to huge constructs and gigantic monsters. Everything will be cast in quality resin to ensure highest level of detail. 

The world of The Edge was shattered by a cataclysm ("Day of Judgement" as the Chapter calls it) that put humanity on its knees. When everything seemed lost, the remnants of the population were united by a priest of The One - Monotheistic technological God. By using remaining crystals from the cataclysm, the priest created technologically advanced machines and led humanity from its knees to a new golden era.


But time of peace did not last for long. It turned out that crystals were not the only thing left by meteors – deep in craters small portals had been laying hidden, waiting patiently. Demons emerged from them and an invasion that flooded the land begun. At first, it was not even a fight – it was a slaughter, a perfect invasion plan executed step by step without a fail. 

After some time Chapter was able to produce military technology that made the fight possible – but even aided by the powerful Angels of Death, believed to be the avatars of The One himself, they were sill losing one battle after another. Humans were adapting, developing new deadly technologies in haste however, even with all of their efforts, the Demons were still undefeated.

Then a certain event took place that no one was expecting, after one of the bloody battles, under unusual circumstances a new being came to life. Neither human nor machine, a creature that started feasting on the battlefield absorbing both flesh and mechanical parts, constantly evolving. 

Faceless creatures, without soul, emotion or mind – wandering through land and consuming everything in their way. They began to spread without any control and even if at first ignored by both Demons and Chapter, at one point they became a force that changed the whole face of the conflict. Faceless were one of the reasonsDemon invasion under the walls of Eld-Hain was broken, right before the first human refuge that was about to fall. All the communication attempts with them failed so far.
