DP9 reveals the Doppel and Animus!

These hooves are made for stomping!

Hello everyone,

Dream Pod 9 has released the previews for the Doppel and Animus golems!

You can check out the original post on DP9’s FB page.

The Animus was an instant success with DP9. It’s easy to see why. It’s probably one of the best of the entire line.

And here’s the Doppel.

I’ll be back with more as the new models are revealed!

Take care out there,

-Eldon

Heavy Gear NEW New Eden mini preview!

Look at that beefy little boi flex.

Hello all,

Dream Pod 9 has started previewing the upcoming line of New Eden miniatures. Today they revealed the Centaur hover type Golem along with its variants. The Griffin was unveiled a few weeks ago, but we got to see all its accessories today.

You can check out the original post here: Dream Pod 9 Facebook page.

There will be a slate of reveals over the next couple of months. Lots of cool stuff to come.

Enjoy,

Battletech Tamar Rising is out now!

That elemental is a bit of a coward.

Greetings Y’all,

CGL’s new Tamar Rising book is available now on DriveThruRPG. You can get a copy here:

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/383825/BattleTech-Tamar-Rising?term=tamar+rising

This is my lone contribution to the book. But, I’m pretty proud of this one. The GDL is back in style and serving up some asymmetrical warfare to the clans.

Also, speaking of the Grey Death Legion, 1N51 over at Camo Specs Online sent me this awesome Marauder; painted up like Grayson Carlyle’s.

Make sure to check out Camo Specs Online for all your Battletech camo reference needs:

And if you are Twitter inclined, follow 1N51 for more BT goodness.

That’s some old Warhammer terrain of mine.

Camo Specs Online sent me a GDL Marauder!

Looking fancy on my old wargaming terrain.

Hey folks,

Check out this awesome GDL Marauder sent to me by the fine folks over at Camo Specs Online; your go-to source for Battletech Camo patterns.

This is based on Grayson Carlyle’s famous Marauder 3R. I’m very honored to have this little beauty. Make sure to follow his twitter—-> https://twitter.com/_1N51_

Here’s some more pics.

Just like Fall in the Ozarks, you can’t take a walk through the woods without someone taking a potshot at you.

Greetings fair traveler,

Dream Pod 9 work finally sees the light of day!

Hello all, 

So, it seems that the DP9 team plans to release my designs for the NEW New Eden miniature range over the month of January. Nice!

I’ve been wrestling with this project for the duration of 2021. I really don’t know a lot about Heavy Gear; I remember perusing the RPG books back in my teen years. It has certainly been an education. Lots of late nights patiently going over the details of HG lore and what weapon abbreviations mean. 

This gear, or as Edenites call them “Golems,” is a Griffin. This is one of the first designs I produced for DP9. It’s a little rough for the first go; some wonky bits. It’ll come in two flavors. A light grenade version for anti-infantry work and an ECCM version to gum up enemy electronics. It comes with an in-built machine gun and melee claws standard. 

Make sure to visit the original post for more details!

Enjoy and have a happy 2022!

The Long Catch-up… and the future? Or how robots ate my life.

Marauder Pack combo example.

Greetings everyone,

Here is a long-overdue update to this much-neglected page. Sorry about that folks, but free time is hard to come by these days. For those who follow my other socials, you’ll know I’ve been neck-deep in work for Catalyst Game Labs and other game projects. It’s left no time to work on the comic. Hopefully, that will change in the near future. ( I would dearly like to wrap up the fourth chapter and epilogue for the first book of Astray3. )

In the meantime, I encourage you to check out my Twitter and Instagram for more current updates. ( Eldoniousrex on both. ) There should be plenty of exciting announcements coming down the pike in the next several months. I’ll also try to update this page at least once a week. Patreon is kinda dead at the moment, but it’s free to join since It charges by comic release and not by the month. ( No comics being released means no charges. ) You can find it here https://www.patreon.com/astray3

And I’d also encourage you to check out the Astray3 store page for stickers, books, prints, and whatever odd stuff I can add. https://astray3.bigcartel.com/

And finally, convention appearances have slowly returned. I’ll be at SpaCon again this year. ( https://spa-con.org/ ) Come by and say hi if you are in the area.

I’ll be back soon!

All the best,

-Eldon
