Gen Con 2010 is upon us! Hopefully we will see many of you there. Please feel free to come visit us in the exhibitors hall at booth 2210. At the booth we will be selling a limited number of new Hell Dorado starters for $29.99 apiece, they will look like this …

Unfortunately we will not have the book at the show, it is still going to take us a few months to get the book finished and printed. We did work up a quick start rules sheet to include with the starter so that you can get started playing the game right away if you pick one up.
As I stated earlier we will also have Augustinus Raimond available at the booth for $14.99. We will only have 180 of them so you may want to drop by early on during the show and pick one up. We think there’s a pretty decent chance that we will sell out of these. We will also be selling Augustinus through our web store during the show to give people who aren’t fortunate enough to be able to attend Gen Con a chance to pick him up. Augustinus will of course be offered at a later date with the general release of the starters and books.
There are many exciting things happening at booth 2210 which we will be sharing with the following other companies.
Darkson Designs will be joining us with a new book released at the show for AE-WWII, and their newest recently released project AE-Bounty. Additionally you can order any of the Darkson Designs convention only LE’s and specials for a limited time from our web store here.
Pulp Monsters, the makers of Pulp City will be on hand to show off their wares.
Max Mini, fresh off of a successful show at Salute, have decided to come across the pond and experience Gen Con for the first time. Come on by and help make their visit to America a great one by checking out the products they are bringing along with them to show off.
On the Anima front, never fear for their will be demos given at the FFG booth all week as well as events to play in. Also keep your eyes on the cases at the FFG booth to see some of our new and upcoming models for AT.
We look forward to seeing you at the show, please travel safely.
A few months ago we showed off a piece of concept art for the next new Hell Dorado figure, Augustinus Raimond. The sculpt is done and we will be taking a limited number of these with us to Gen Con, where we will be selling them for $14.99 a piece. Without further ado here is the picture …

Clicking on the pic should take you to the full size image, which is pretty large. This figure will also be available through our normal distribution channels in either October or November, exact details to be announced.

The AE-Bounty Core Rulebook is now at our warehouse, we will be packing and shipping all outstanding orders ASAP! Thank you for your patience and enjoy AE-Bounty.
We are sad to announce that the AE-Bounty Core Rulebook we have been taking pre-orders for has hit some printing delays. At this point we don’t have a concrete date on when this will be worked out, we think it should take about 2 more weeks for us to get it. We’ll keep you posted when we know more
Sorry about the delay and we hope you are having a great week so far!
It’s that time again.
Macbeth, Kerberos, and Arias Vayu can now be had from our very own web store …

Macbeth, Azrael Knight

Follow Cipher Studios on Twitter on @CipherStudios. Mostly it will let you know when we post a new story here on our site!
After some time of being down the Anima forum is back up and running at www.cipher-studios.com/AnimaBB. After a couple of crashes we have moved it over on to our web hosting for a while. Unfortunately the database backups that we have appear to be from near the end of April, so some of your most recent posts may not be on there anymore. Thanks for your patience!

Greetings from New Jerusalem! After quite a bit of time with no news we are glad to be at a point where we can talk about some of our future plans for Hell Dorado.
We would like to apologize for the delay in communications from us after the announcement that we would be continuing the game and miniatures line. There has been an extended period of negotiations between us and Asmodee, which has now been resolved. Currently work is going forward on getting all of the existing molds shipped to us here in the US. We have been working hard on editing the English translation we have, and wrangling all of the clarifications and additional materials, such as the rules for the Immortals, that we plan to include in the English edition of the core Hell Dorado book. This work continues and now we will be kicking it into high gear. Read More »

OMG!!! Choosing the winner for this last leg took the most lengthy discussion and analysis from the judges. We could really see the excitement and dedication of the contestants in the results of this last part of the Organization Agents Painting Contest. And because of this, the Empire Agent now has an officially painted sculpt that would fit perfectly into an Empire Party.
