Announcement

I told you to keep an eye out for more VOR announcements and I got the O.K. from Skuzz to let slip a few exciting details of Vor 2.0 !

  • Worried about the overpowered abilities of Pharon in 1.0? Worry no longer, with the newly resurrected Traxis available as a special summonable unit you can now go Toe to Toe with the wretched G*d-King!
  • Yes, the purging was tough to beat. But the new Union orbital superiority has produced a lot more new and varied assortments of Orbital Strikes. You can take these strikes starting at 500 PV and they cost 10 to 200 points depending on the type of strike.
  • Mutant Rad-Troopers. All that radiation had to lead to something good eventually. Instead of dying some Rad-Troopers will "Hulk Out". No more mutant handlers, simply replace a Rad-Trooper with a mutant model after dying on a roll of 1 or 2! The Neo-Soviet forcelist has also been simplified to eliminate the many undesirable units. With the new Mutant Madness Rad-Troops, Chem Grunts and Officers are all you need to win any fight.
  • Speaking of undesirable units, the Ceru have been eliminated from the game. It simply didn't add as much flavor as the new VOR force "Spider Warriors". The custom spider force from the original core book has evolved to use technology which allows them to teleport about the battlefield on the "hidden web". When they're killed the souls of these spider warriors reincarnate along the path of another warrior discipline.
  • Too much bookkeeping with VOR? You'll be glad to know that Topps has been signed up to provide a new innovative miniatures base type which has stats on the bottom and can record injuries with a rotatable 'tic' setting on the bottom of the model.
  • Thought VOR was always too good to remain a tabletop game alone? Keep your eyes out for Dawn of VOR coming from Electronic Arts in 2010!
