Things have been quiet on the Deep Wars front for a while now, as activity was ramping up in Shadow Sea - but now something is moving in the deep blue sea.

Antimatter Games is proud to announce their latest Kickstarter, Blood Reef, which features a new faction for the underwater world of Deep Wars. The Nereid's.

“The expedition has finally reached the most remote section of the Shadow Sea, an uncharted expanse previously avoided due to the violent storms caused by clouds of glowing ethereal energy swirling above the narrow channel leading there. Only after a fortuitous expedition discovered a route through a river system across an ancient flooded city were we able to circumvent this graveyard of ships and finally emerge into the unexplored waters beyond.

Our first forays into the shallow shelf zone there, an area we now call Blood Reef, have been disastrous however, with losses mounting from attacks of monstrous sea creatures as well as constant attacks by creatures I had only believed to be myth.

Tails covered in glittering scales, bodies of nymphs, these could only be the Nereids of legend… Terrible was their wrath at our incursion, with foul sorcery and beams of blue death turning the water crimson in what our men now call Blood Reef. Only the lure of glowing crystals and ancient artifacts abounding in these waters has kept the pirates from mutiny, and there is now word of a strange and terrible craft wrecked in the deeper abyss.

We press on and pray that these new enemies may be tamed…“

If you've never considered making the leap into this fantastic, 28mm underwater miniatures game, perhaps the chance to play as mermaids, mermen and terrifying sharks will win you over.

The minis look amazing and the great big shark simply sells itself! I've been dying to have a go at creating an underwater table, and it looks like that time may be now.

Will you be making the leap into the underwater world of Deep Wars and Blood Reef?
