WHICH FACTION ARE YOU?
THE COG NATION
With their iron-clad diving suits, these conquerors delve into the Lurk looking for materials to power their glorious cities. Upon the discovery of UnderAether, an ultra-rare material that only exists in the deepest reaches of the Lurk, many a Cog made way toward the new Frontier beneath the seas. Yield the Aether or Your Life.
THE NAUTILUS
The self-proclaimed proprietors of the sea were charged centuries ago to protect the Aether. In order to protect it they built their cities around the magical material. These tentacle-bearded Aether Worshippers defend their cities and the Aether with their lives. By the Aether Divine.
THE ANCIENTS
These telepathic, element wielding, godlike creatures returned to the Lurk in hopes to find their domain the way they left it. Instead they find the Cog trying to take their precious UnderAether, and the rest of the sea creatures, which they tasked to protect it, fighting amongst themselves. Enraged they take their fury out on everyone. Wrath is in your wake.
LOW CLANS
This diverse group of underwater creatures has had a long struggle being under the rule of the Nautilus, well no more! This group has disclaimed the gods and the Nautilus chieftains along with them. No longer will the Carapace, Chumtails, Reefscales, Scuttlebrutes, Anglerfin, and the rest follow under the rules of the Chieftains. Vengeance is ours.
PROFESSIONAL PAINTS!
We had some awesome painters take some time and slap some amazing paint jobs to the minis. The minis were only 3d Prints and not the final PVC molded pieces. I encourage you to check out their work.

Risks and challenges
From past experience, there are some inconsistencies in terms of timing when it comes to anything produced by a manufacturer, such as:
Production delays
Shipping delays
Customs delays
We don't believe this is in the least bit likely.
We have been manufacturing for a few years now and have come to understand the process greatly.
