Aliens Vs Predator Game - Update

Prodos Games have released a preview of some of the models from their up and coming Aliens Vs Predator Kickstarter funded game...

The full update can be found here.

Though if it's just the pictures you want...

...and some model shots...

I'll see what other shots I can get when the gentlemen from Prodos turn up in Lichfield tomorrow...

Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.

Mantic Games Newsletter - Visions of the Future

More an advert for the terrain set than a newsletter...it is a very nice terrain set though...so we'll let them off...

We're in the process of moving offices at the moment (we've got light, some heat and tea literally on tap, but no internet at the moment - boo!) - but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the Battlezones goodness being shipped at the end of the month...     Those Corporation Marines don't look healthy.   ... but bigger is better!     The Plague infects Nexus Psi You can pre-order your Battlezones here - shipping end of May.

Forge World Newsletter #399‏

Be interested to see how compatible these lists are with the new edition of 40K arriving on the 24th of May...

Editors Note - A couple of the links don't seem to go anywhere but I can't actually find where they're meant to go...sorry...blame Forge World, lol.

The Horus Heresy Legiones Astartes: Crusade Army List is a 96 page hard back book containing the complete profiles, special rules and wargear, compiled and updated, for the core Legiones Astartes Legion Crusade Army list for Warhammer 40,000 and the Battles in the Age of Darkness gaming expansion. It allows Horus Heresy players to carry something lighter to their Warhammer 40,000 games than the weighty tomes of our main volumes, and is also intended to be used both as a resource for constructing and collecting your armies, and as a handy reference during play.

The contents of this book have been drawn from across the three volumes of Forge World's Horus Heresy Isstvan Trilogy series, and are intended to be used alongside its companion book The Horus Heresy Legiones Astartes: Isstvan Campaign Legions, which provides the special rules and unique units and characters for the specific Legions featured in the epic conflict of the Horus Heresy's opening stages. It can also be used as a basis to build a Great Crusade army list for any of the Space Marine Legions.

For a complete list of the book's contents, click here. This book is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Monday 19th May. This book will also be available to purchase at the Horus Heresy Weekender event on the 17th and 18th May.

The Horus Heresy Legiones Astartes: Isstvan Campaign Legions is a 116 page hard back book that collects together the Space Marine Legions appendix entries from the first three of Forge World's Horus Heresy books - The Isstvan Trilogy. As such it is intended to be used alongside its companion book The Horus Heresy Legiones Astartes: Crusade Army List.

Included in the book are specific rules, units and special characters - including the mighty Primarchs - for the Emperor's Children, Death Guard, Sons of Horus, World Eaters, Word Bearers, Night Lords, Iron Hands, Salamanders,

Iron Warriors, Alpha Legion, Imperial Fists and Raven Guard, all drawn together for ease of reference whether you are preparing for or playing a game of Warhammer 40,000, or planning the next addition to your collection.

Unboxing Malifaux - Alternate McMourning

There are currently three versions of McMourning available though I'm yet to find anyone who feels that one version is better or worse than the others. There's certainly no where near the divide that occurs when you mention Alternate Marcus...

Should you be actually looking for the M2E McMourning 'Starter Set' unboxing then you can find it here.

For those of you interested in such things here are some comparison shots between the original and the new versions of McMourning. From left to right we have the original metal version, the alternate metal version and the new plastic one...
