This weekend, Void Scar will return once again to the superb Hereward show in Peterborough. You can pick up anything you need for your From Ashes collection, plus learn more about how the new Kymeron Republic faction will work in-game.
Britcon is now over, and want to say a big thanks to all who stopped by and gave From Ashes a go. The Youtube channel ‘Model Paint Whatever’ has done a video with highlights from the event, and you can even catch ourselves at the 10.40 timestamp (but of course, check out everything else too!)
We’ve also had a restock of some desperately needed items in the Void Scar webstore, which primarily includes the following:
Void Scar will be back again with our old pals at Britcon this weekend. We missed last year at the new venue, but we’re very much looking forward to coming along this time.
We’ll even have some rather nicely painted Claymore Mechs to show you as well!
This Saturday, the good folks over at Boards and Swords Hobbies, just outside Derby, are kindly hosting us for another From Ashes Gaming Day!
This is a great venue, with multiple gaming tables, fantastic hobby products and plenty of parking spaces.
The event itself consists of informally organised From Ashes games, aimed at a variety of skill levels in a warm and welcoming environment.
Head over to the Void Scar Events page to learn more about this event, and the all-important link to registering for it so we have an idea of who’s coming.
Void Scar Miniatures will be on our second outing to the incredible UK Games Expo this week. This truly fantastic event showcases the very best from the tabletop creative industries – and we’re going to be involved in the fun too!
The latest From Ashes update is now available which brings a whole host of tweaks and improvements, making your games run smoother than ever. The goal of this update is to reduce the reliance on rerolling dice, giving you more time to focus on the important decision-making aspects of the game. Below is a list of the changes you can expect to see.
As usual, each faction’s Acquisition Rosters have also been updated too. One to note is that the Sol Enclaves sub-factions have now been removed in their entirety from the main Sol Enclaves roster as these are found elsewhere in the dedicated sub-faction rosters, meaning those Sol Enclaves players will not need to print out quite such a heavy tome.
The canny-eyed among you will also notice that there’s a couple of new Units added; one to the Zayken and another to the Sol Enclaves: Dominion Vassal. Now these units, the Brawlers and Sol Enclaves Rhino Assault Tank, are not out yet, but they should be soon enough and seemed silly having to add them in later, so you’ve got the rules early instead!
Head over to the From Ashes Rules Downloads page to download your copy.
There’s also been a restock on the website too, so be sure to update your forces with all you need, or maybe start something new.
Lastly, work on the brand new faction the Kymeron Republic is in full swing, so be sure to watch this space for updates on that too!
Another lastly – working on the From Ashes rules is quite the endeavour, with seemingly endless hours of playtesting, rewriting and editing going into it. While these rules are free, support is very much appreciated. At the bottom of the From Ashes Rules Downloads page, you’ll see a ‘PayPal Donate’ button – don’t feel obligated, but if you would like to support the continued development of From Ashes – every little helps! Other than that, I truly appreciate everyone’s support, whatever forms it takes, to make From Ashes the best ruleset it can be and support this fantastic community of gamers.
See you on the frontlines!

This Sunday, Void Scar Miniatures will be returning for the fantastic Partizan show in Newark! This show sees a whole host of vendors, and we feel honoured to be counted among them.
This Saturday gone a group of us spent the day playing From Ashes, and what a day it was! Plenty of wonderful folks came out to join in, with exciting battles had and many memorable moments, it truly was a special event. We even chatted about the next From Ashes update, with passionate and well thought-out backwards-and-forwards on upcoming changes (all that feedback was very much welcome – thank you!).
On that note, I just want to say a big ‘thank you’ to everyone who came along (as I know a few of you had come very far indeed!), and can’t wait to see you all next time. Of course extra special thanks goes to Stuart and the gang from Mantic Games for being such gracious hosts as they always are.
Check out these images of the day, including some incredible displays of painting prowess, along with a couple of images of some (just undercoated for now!) up-coming mechs….
Speaking of which, the next event will be on June 13th at Underworld Games, a short walk from Nottingham Train Station. You can register for that via the Events page below.
Lastly, there’s now an official From Ashes Discord channel which you can join via the link below – I’ll be in there lurking around, so come on in and hang out!
