=> Official Kickstarter Update #43
=> Official Gamefound Update #22 (should be the same)

Highlights:

1. There are still games available [ie, the planned first print run has not sold out yet, but it likely is down to the last 100-200 games now]. Late Pledge now here=> Rogue Angels Late Pledge
2. The Map Book is done as well as several other components that are finished.
3. 
   While finishing up the final mission, it seemed that a few extra maps were needed to cover choices made by players during the last chapter. So, six more maps were added to the map book, all by Przemek Kozlowski. An example:
   
   And now the two Holodeck maps have expanded to include several more:
   
   NextMars is working on some of the very last illustrations for the compaign story that will be included throughout the campaign books. Preliminaries:
   
   And some final illustrations:
   
4. 
   The campaign books are still being proofread and edited. This is tough work, but it is my promise to players that they will get an experience that goes beyond regular storytelling in games. Example of just a small portion:
   
5. 
   Emil is in close contact with the manufacturer during these final phases. They made a video to showcase the durability of their re-adhesive stickers (available on our Discord):
   
6. Enemy Behavior Cards: The BOSS enemies
   Emil gave us a peak at these new cards (never seen by those with a prototype copy of the game):
   
   Yes, Rogue Angels is NOT a boss battler game … but now we know that there WILL be some boss encounters and these will require a different approach!
7. 
   The MAP BOOK is also being finalized! It will be an A3 sized book of 124 pages continuing 113 maps PLUS 8 Holodeck. One of the last pages in the Map Book will include a Galaxy Map for reference!
   
8. Production Time Line:
   The time line chart is up at the top of this Update Summary! Here are the few notes to go with it:
   • (*) Pre-production done. These will enter production alongside the rest.
   • (**) Pre-production underway at manufacturer.
   • (***) Awaiting pre-production at manufacturer.

=> Kickstarter Update #42
=> GameFound Update #21 (basically the same)

A big welcome to the new late-pledge backers, remember to go and download the free Burning Suns Art Book here.

Highlights:

1. Przemek Kozlowski provided a handful of maps for the last missions and the holodeck.
   
   The holodeck is meant to be used for one-shots, where you can either play short co-op, PvE, or PvP battles. This means you can test cards and team compositions, showcase the game mechanics to friends, or just do a short mission with no strings attached. It is not tied to the campaign and has hits own training manual. You also use this manual to introduce a new hero into an ongoing campaign!NextMars created more scenes for the story’s many pages.

Here is one of the first looks at all sixteen miniatures for the 16 heroes in Rogue Angels. First a short under 1 minute video followed by four photos:

Now … here are four photos taken from the four sides of the lazy susan. Can you identify all 16 heroes? I am also posting these in the BoardGameGeek (BGG) forum for Rogue Angels, so I numbered them to help you submit your guess over there! I’d like to use the Board Game Geek forum for this because you can submit your guess as to who each of these 16 heroes are without spoiling it for others. When you add a comment to reply to my posts with photos of the Heroes, simply click on the A icon to get the text options … then choose the second to the last option: “spoilers” … just type in your answers, then highlight your answers and click the “eye” icon with the line through it. That will HIDE your answer so other people won’t see it (unless they click on it:)

Type your answer, highlight it … then click “spoilers”:

Here are the four photos of the 16 hero miniatures (on BGG – Board Game Geek):

=> Who are these guys? 1-4

=> Who are these guys? 5-8

=> Who are these guys? 9-12

=> Who are these guys? 13-16

Note: the miniatures are prototypes. The final miniatures should be higher quality.

And, yes … you HAVE heard those words before … “Who are those guys?” It was from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid:
