Special Issue - New weapons for Epirian SecDef!
Posted on Wednesday Aug 13, 2025 at 05:00pm in Models
The elite of the Foundation military, the men and women of the Security and Defense force, or SecDef, are better trained, better armed and better equipped than the Contractors that make up the majority of Epirian human forces on frontier worlds... and for Maelstrom's Edge V2, these already formidable troops received a few additional weapons options, courtesy of the skilled engineers at Araldyne.
Along with the original SecDef sprues, SecDef Infantry boxes now include an additional plastic sprue that includes 2 each of the new weapons options - GL2 Grenade Launcher, LC42 Laser Carbine and ML9 Assault Launcher, giving you plenty of options for building .

Maelstrom's Edge Range Refresh and V2 Starter Sets
Posted on Wednesday Jul 30, 2025 at 05:00pm in Models
With Maelstrom's Edge V2 looming on the horizon, we've made some small changes to the miniature range to streamline our packing and shipping processes. The most obvious change is that everything is now shipping in boxes, instead of loose sprues.
Most of the range is unchanged, but we have consolidated a few things to make life easier. Amongst these changes:
Most of the range is unchanged, but we have consolidated a few things to make life easier. Amongst these changes:
- Epirian Firefly and Spider drones (which use the same sprues) are now packaged as a single 'Epirian Drones' set to reduce confusion.
- Remnant Militus suits are now sold as a box of two.
- Resin Holista and Prime upgrades are now packaged together along with Militus sprues, rather than as separate packs.
- The Remnant Upgrade sprue is now included with all of the suits that can make use of it.
- The Faction Upgrade Sprue, wihch includes useful bits for both Epirian and Karist units, is now packaged with Epirian Contractors and Karist Praetorians sets.
- Resin Epirian Boostpack Infantry are now sold as a set of four, including a mix of assault rifles and upgrade weapons.
- PDC Gun Carriages are now sold as a set of 2, and include 54mm bases.
- And last, but not least, the faction starter bundles have been updated into new V2 Starter Sets.
These new bundles each include a mix of plastic models that allow you to assemble a 50 point force, which gives you a good head start on a full V2 force, or a handy boost for an existing one. Grab yours now from the Maelstrom's Edge webstore here!
Base Size Updates
Posted on Monday Jul 28, 2025 at 05:00pm in Models
When Maelstrom's Edge first launched, we only had three different base sizes, which imposed some unavoidable limitations on model design. With Maelstrom's Edge V2 looking on the horizon, and a larger range of bases now at our disposal, we've taken the opportunity to review the model range to make sure that everything is on the actual base that best fits. To keep things clear for players, we have released a Base Size document that will track the current base for each model in the game.
The majority of models are staying on their original bases, but some elite units and human-sized character models have had a slight bump up to make them stand out better on the table or to make them less cramped on the base. Remnant Nimbus suits, which were originally on a 46mm base as that was the only base we had to fit them, will now be on a 36mm base to properly differentiate them from their larger brethren. You can find the full base list on the Maelstrom's Edge website here.
Note that if a model in your collection has changed its official base size for V2, there is no need for you to re-base your already assembled models unless you want to, as these changes have minimal effect on gameplay. If you would like to grab some extra bases to swap, though, we have added a complete STL base bundle to the webstore which includes the 3D-printable files for 25, 28, 32, 36, 40, 46, 54, and 65mm Maelstrom's Edge bases.

STL Bundle Changes - Bases!
Posted on Tuesday Jul 22, 2025 at 05:00pm in Models
We've made some changes to our STL bundles. To make it easier to get printed models onto the table, the STL file packages now include the appropriate Maelstrom's Edge bases.
Each base is supplied with a smooth top and textured top version, and also with and without print supports. These have been added into the existing STL bundles, which can be redownloaded from your profile page on the Maelstrom's Edge website, and will come automatically with any new STL bundles you purchase.
For those looking for additional bases, we have also added a complete STL base bundle which includes the files for 25, 28, 32, 36, 40, 46, 54, and 65mm Maelstrom's Edge bases. Grab this pack from the Maelstrom's Edge webstore here!

The final resin-to-digital conversion release arrives - Karist Angel Keepers!
Posted on Thursday Oct 03, 2024 at 09:18pm in Models
This week, we're rolling out the last of our resin-to-digital conversions with the Karist Enclave's Angel Keeper!
An Angel Keeper leads their alien charges into battle.
A strange and isolated offshoot of the Karist priesthood, Angel Keepers train enslaved Angels using regimented doses of cybel energy, and marshal these alien creatures on the battlefield.
This release required a bit of resculpting as the original model sculpt was lost, and so it had to be reconstructed from a partial sculpt. The resin original was also only designed to have one of the Keeper's two main weapons, with separate hand options holding the cybel goad and grenade launcher. The STL version now has the cybel goad in hand and the grenade launcher slung and ready when the Keeper needs it. The model also comes with two pose variants, an optional holstered pistol, and a male and female head - although the differences in appearance are minor due to the Keeper's mask!
The digital file includes supported and unsupported versions of the Angel Keeper.
You can find the rules for using Angel Keepers in your Karist Enclave force in the downloads section of the Maelstrom's Edge website here.

New STL Release for the Broken - Pa'ku Artillery!
Posted on Thursday Sep 05, 2024 at 05:00pm in Models
Pa’ku are extremely rational creatures, almost completely devoid of emotion as humans understand it. If they decide that a certain course of action will cause more good than harm overall, then they have no qualms about extinguishing any number of lives to achieve it. They do not make such decisions lightly nor do they act carelessly, often driving their commander crazy as they sit pondering the pros and cons of all reasonable options in front of them. They sometimes even decide to hold a private war council with only their species present if there is a particularly complex dilemma to consider. A Pa’ku’s deliberations are ultimately guided by their own self-interest, as is the case for all creatures, but they are able to factor that bias in when making their decisions.
Pa'ku provide much needed fire support for Broken forces.
Despite their peculiarities, Pa’ku are especially desirable to the Broken. Their impressive physiques make them suitable for carrying heavy loads, including the biggest artillery the Broken can manage to cobble together. As a bonus, the Pa’ku can extend their very long tongue with enough force to cave in a man’s skull. Pa’ku only speak to other species when necessary, and their language is difficult for most races to translate or speak. Combined with their large size, this results in them being overlooked by evacuation efforts, making the choice to join the Broken the only reasonable one they can make.
The digital file includes supported and unsupported versions of the Pa'ku parts.
You can find the rules for using Pa'ku Artillery in your Broken force in the downloads section of the Maelstrom's Edge website here.

Plastic Preview - First test shot of some upcoming models!
Posted on Wednesday Aug 14, 2024 at 09:12pm in Models
The PDC Gun Carriage is back in stock!
Posted on Monday Jul 22, 2024 at 05:00pm in Models
This fantastic gun carriage model was made by PDC Gaming for a Kickstarter campaign some years ago. We have managed to pick up one final batch of these kits - PDC Gaming are out of business, and the mould is apparently lost, so once this lot are gone, they're gone for good.
The gun carriage is a multipart plastic kit that allows you to build a track unit with either a turreted or fixed-mount weapon, and four different weapons that slot into place on either variant.
Examples of different weapon variants.
Although not being sold as a part of the core Maelstrom's Edge range, this kit is useful for those looking for a plastic track unit for conversions, or wanting to add some heavier firepower to their games. You can find unofficial rules to use the Epirian 'Thunderbolt' sentry drone in Maelstrom's Edge V2 in the Downloads section here. You can also find a walkthrough for converting an Epirian Uplink Drone using the gun carriage's track unit, an Epirian Hunter, and some other bits and pieces here.
An Epirian Thunderbolt provides some heavy support to ward off a Remnant fire team.

Sneaky Spotlight: Kaigus Pact Tamakin Combat Thralls
Posted on Monday Dec 11, 2023 at 05:00pm in Models
Tamakin units are the valuable core of Pact forces. They are equipped with smaller, less powerful variants of the Dart Host and Ripper Claw symbiotes used by Muharis Sentinels, perfect to either make head-on assaults or harass the enemy with short ranged fire. While not particularly effective fighters, the ease with which Tamakin can be spawned allows enormous numbers of them to be thrown at an enemy, while those that do fall are recycled and returned right back into the fray.

New Remnant STL Releases for the Nimbus Battlesuit
Posted on Friday Dec 01, 2023 at 05:00pm in Models
Like its heavier Militus cousin, the Nimbus battlesuit is a marvel of Artarian engineering. Designed for sniper and scout roles, the Nimbus trades in the Militus' heavier armour in favour of speed and agility. The Nimbus Longshot carries a Torus Sniper Rifle, a specialised modification of the Incursion Rifle, while the Nimbus Pathfinder fills a scouting role, equipped with a short range weaponry and a Pinpoint Scanner that it uses to paint enemy units for the attention of heavier Remnant firepower. Both Nimbus classes can be equipped with an array of additional equipment, including Hologram Projectors and Cloak Generators to confound enemy targeting, Vent Systems to assist with cooling, Thermal Trackers to enhance their already formidable shooting, and a Lorican Boostpack when additional speed is required.
A Nimbus Longshot seeks out their next target.
This month's release includes two packs - A Nimbus Battlesuit pack, and a Nimbus Add-on Parts pack. The Battlesuit pack is a printable digital version of the resin production model, expanded to include an Arc Splitter and variants of the arms with no vent systems, while the Add-on Parts pack includes components designed to fit the plastic Pathfinder kit, to give it access to the same range of weapons and upgrades as the resin kit.
Both digital packs have supported and unsupported versions of the included parts.

New Karist STL Release - The Angel Hellblaster!
Posted on Wednesday Nov 01, 2023 at 05:00pm in Models
Hellblasters are juvenile Angels formed into a living weapon. Their oversized jaw and excess cybel sacs located around their head allow them to form a massive cybel charge in their maw which they then eject as a deadly ranged projectile. They maintain a focus on their cybel projectiles using their innate ability for kinetic manipulation, preventing them from exploding until they reach their chosen target. These cybel blasts are ideal for clearing out large groupings of infantry, and the mere sight of Hellblasters on the field can cause experienced enemy units to scatter in a panic.

Droning on in support - New Epirian Digital Model!
Posted on Monday Sep 04, 2023 at 08:55pm in Models
This month, a digital version of the Epirian Support Drone marches onto the battlefield, following in the footsteps of last month's heavy weapon Contractor Drone!
A Contractor Engineer unit advances cautiously along a waterline.
This kit is comprised of a Support Drone chassis, and optional parts to equip it to join any of three different Contractor unit types. The Recon Package is the standard gear for support drones utilised by Contractor Scout units. Contractor Engineers make use of tool-equipped drones to effect repairs on other damaged bots, while medical drones in Contractor Medic units patch up the force's less hardy human elements. The digital model pack contains STL files for both supported and unsupported versions of the Support Drone, with multiple equipment options. The model has been slightly updated from the original resin release, featuring taller legs to boost the overall size of the drone.

New STL Release - Broken Forsaken Chieftain
Posted on Monday May 29, 2023 at 05:00pm in Models
The Forsaken rarely send out their forces en masse, knowing a single crushing defeat is the end of their existence, preferring to instead strike in small patrols each led by a Chieftain. Equal parts fighter, diplomat and cunning tactician, a Chieftain knows their forces can never win a stand-up fight against a prepared opponent, favouring unseen strikes from the shadows, quickly fading away before the enemy can respond in kind. Many opposing forces have underestimated the ingenuity of a Chieftain, only realizing too late their folly, as improvised booby traps decimate their defensive positions and Broken secretly approach from their rear.
The appearance of a Chieftain varies wildly based upon the culture of their original planet and also the Freeport that they currently call home. They tend to have slightly nicer clothing and equipment than standard rabble, and many Chieftains see it as their duty to show that an individual can still rise up through the ranks of the Broken while carrying themselves with dignity and class. When a powerful enemy combatant is felled in battle, a Chieftain will confiscate something of value from them, whether it be a chunk of armor or an heirloom weapon. These purloined treasures are worn into future battles by the Chieftain, both as a reminder of the victory, and a symbol of their great leadership.
