Huge capital class vessels sit in the background, engaging in tit-for-tat slugging matches as they slowly lumber in the darkness, explosions and debris litter the vast expanse between these metallic behemoths but their battle is none of your concern, your fight is a more personal one... Your skills as a Squadron Leader and the abilities of your wing-men will be put to the test in a ballet of fire and destruction. Will you return speaking of heroic acts or succumb to the cold, silent void? Welcome to Shattered Void, pilot.

Well great news, the printer is now working. It seemed that the SD card that holds the operating system came a little loose, and just needed to be clipped back. So next up is the calibration side of things and some test prints. Im so glad is doesnt have to be shipped back to them. Phew!
Updates will be coming through faster now. See you in the next one.
Evening everybody!
Right update time! Let's begin...
Production
First off, production. All the numbers we require to fulfil the Kickstarter have been sent off for casting. This includes all 30 unlocked ships, the 28mm Pilot, Marines and also the Talos. We're now just patiently waiting in the queue until the items are produced and posted out to us. We're waiting on a few pictures which sadly weren't with us at the time of this update but we will show them off soon!
Dice
The dice have arrived! They're currently being sorted into packs of 5 and we are over the moon with how they've turned out. They're fantastic and, thus far in our games have brought us some incredible luck! Everybody likes a set of nice new, shiny dice!
Badges
All enamel pin badges have arrived with us and are now just waiting to be added to all eligible pledges.
Plastic
All the plastic components such as the stat-tracker, tokens and templates have been produced and we're just awaiting for the package to arrive which is expected within the next week or so.
Ship Identification Stickers
The stickers are complete and with us, making it easier to see which ship belongs to which stat-tracker!
Cards
The Damage Deck has had a slight redesign and resize. The reason behind this was the size we initially planned were incredibly expensive as the minimum order quantity was 1000 decks. With the funds we received from Kickstarter and the Backer numbers this meant that a great deal of money would have been tied up which, sadly, being a small company we cannot have such a large amount of money tied up in stock.
This is not a decision that has been made lightly as it required the whole deck to under go a redesign and as such required a fair bit of work. The Damage Deck still contains 165 cards and as an added benefit, the new card producer supplies them in a custom tuck box. This makes storage and transportation much, much easier.
The Game
The Ship Stat Cards are currently being worked on as we've been tweaking values and rules over the last few months to tighten up the game and address the ideas and comments that were offered to us over the course of the campaign. The updated rules will be available soon for you all to look over before the cards go to print. Overall we're incredibly excited!
Postage and Packaging
Our postage carrier is sorted and all the required postage boxes and packing material are with us so we're all sorted on that front.
As it stands, we're now entering the last part of the waiting game as all the required components arrive here at WDM HQ at different times. As stated above, we're still on target for a December fulfilment bar any unforeseen circumstances, should any arise we will inform you.
A Final Note...
We've teamed up with Alex Iglesias once again, famous for his concepting of the Fiddler Mech and-... Well, we'll just leave this below for you all. The future of WDM is looking incredibly strong and for that, as always, you guys have our thanks!
Cheers!
WDM Team
