Play Board Games reviews a game I’ve been playing for a very long time now: Frag. Check it out.
From the review:
Do you like Quake or Unreal Tournament? Have you thought of what a board game based on these first person shooters might be like? Well you should try Frag (or at least read my review of it). You gather gadgets and guns while trying to eliminate your opponents.

Defiance Games has a bug problem… well, not a problem… They’ve got bugs and want to share them with you, soon. Get your name on the list.
From the announcement:
The Defiance Team is very happy to announce the imminent availability of our second hard plastic 28mm figure set for ALIEN WAR – the Bugs!
Now that we’ve been through the “birthing pains” with the Marines and taken our lumps, we’re ready to pull the trigger on our second release (with the third one – the Germans – just a couple weeks behind!)
The Bugs are an important part of the ALIEN WAR setting – a constant companion and danger to humanity as it colonizes the stars – and a Core Force in the ALIEN WAR rules.
This first release for the Bugs Force are the Drones – the workers and warriors of the hives (although the much larger Warrior class will be with us later this summer).
Drones stand about 23-24mm tall (shorter than the humans they prey on) but come in vast numbers. Each box set features 30 Bugs with loads of extra parts for all sorts of nasty combinations!
Along with three great pre-release offers including 1, 4, and 10 (300 BUGS!) boxes – we are also giving every pre-order a special base set of 12 Bug Hive 30mm round bases.

Privateer Press has sent a new tentative release date for War Room, their army-making app., for July 9th.
We are very excited about War Room and are eager to bring it to you as soon as possible. As the app has moved through its development cycle, though, we’ve run into more than a few time-consuming surprises, and we’ve found several places where we could make War Room even better. As anxious as we are to bring War Room to you, we just don’t want to pass on any opportunity to make improvements to the app. We believe that it’s more important to make War Room as good as it can be before it releases than it is to rush it out and patch it later. As a result, we are now anticipating a July 9 release date for War Room.
We have been making the most of the extra development time to polish the app. The biggest change is a complete overhaul of the user interface. As you can see in the images below, the initial design looks cool, but after testing we saw an opportunity to streamline the interface into a cleaner, faster, more intuitive design.

Forge World has the biggest squig you’ve ever seen running right at you with their new Colossal Squig. I think you’re gonna need more than just one herder for this guy.
From the release:
The strange, improbable and often quite insane creatures known as Squigs are half-fungoid, half-flesh beasts that breed and multiply wherever Orcs and Goblins gather. These foul and vicious monstrosities range in size from bestial hunting Squigs and the madcap Squig Hoppers that some Night Goblins ride to war, to the feared Mangler Squigs goaded into battle to devour the enemy wholesale.
None of these creatures match the sheer size of the Colossal Squigs though, said to haunt the depths of the Grey Mountains and the Vaults. These gigantic, spherical monsters boast an insatiable appetite, and are in essence no more than an impossibly vast fleshy maw studded with row upon row of scimitar-bladed teeth.
Near impossible to direct, let alone train, Night Goblin Shaman must resort to drugged meat (often live and unfortunate Goblin ‘volunteers’) or hugely potent spells to overcome the crude instincts of these behemoths and make them even barely manageable.
The Colossal Squig, designed by Mark Bedford, is a large, highly detailed multi-part resin model. Rules for this model can be found in Monstrous Arcanum, and it is available to pre-order now for despatch from the 25th of May.

Play Unplugged TV takes a look and unboxes the Legion of Everblight Battlegroup Starter box for Privateer Press’ Hordes line. It’s full of blight-y goodness.
From the unboxing:
If you felt the temperature drop suddenly it is because a blighted winter has come to Play Unplugged, brought on by the unboxing of something chilling. From the vast, Nyss controlled frozen wastes above Khador, Enrico examines the monstrous contents of the new Legion of Everblight Battlegroup Starter (battlebox). This redesigned starter box for Privateer Press‘s Hordes miniature game features all new plastic versions of Lylyth, Herald of Everblight, the carnivean heavy warbeast, and shredder lesser warbeasts. Oh man… Where’s Pendrake when you need him?!?!

Flames of War has released their new Panther G platoon to wreak havoc with your enemies. Especially, the tank sprue has been redesigned and they’re really happy with the results.
From them to you:
The Panther G is the latest model of the famed Panther tank. When the Germans revamped the old Panther A, they gave it a thicker, but more vertical, one-piece hull side to mate up with the superstructure of the Jagdpanther, and eliminated the driver’s direct vision slot.

Raging Heroes has their new Preying Mantis unit available now in their online store. We’d show a picture, but… well, if you go, make sure you’re not at work or have small kids around, just in case.
We are very proud to announce that our new unit, the Preying Mantis, is now available for pre-order.
Do not miss our Special Launch Offer, exclusively reserved for the first 100 boxes!
We have worked hard to provide you with flexibility and the ability to customize them. The Mantis box contains 10 different bodies, 10 arms and 11 heads including a Champion head.
This means over a 1000 possible different combinations.
But there’s more! Thanks to a ball-joint assembly system, you are also free to reposition heads and right arms at will.
In addition, a Command Group Accessories’ Kit is available, either separately or bundled with the Mantis unit.
It includes an alternative Leader head, a Musician arm holding a violin and a Standard Bearer arm holding a standard.
Thanks to your feedback, we are producing The Preying Mantis as a regular white metal edition, or as a Collector’s Edition made of high quality resin. It is fair to mention, however, that due to production limitations, the Collector’s Edition will only be available in limited quantities every month.
The Mantis will easily adapt to most 28mm sci-fi and fantasy games. How do you plan to use them?

Tor Gaming put up some more art in readiness of more stretch goals for IndieGoGo. Here’s how they look:
These are the concepts for the figures we will give away if we hit their target.
We have hit our current target on our IndieGoGo project for Relics so have set some more realistic targets for custom dice and more models!
If the project target hits $5000, all TARGET BUSTERS will get:
10 x custom d6 dice with the faction logo of your choice on the 6 plus a drawstring dice bag with the faction logo and ‘Relics’ screen printed on — Remember, you get one choice for each starter set you have in your perk/s and they don’t have to be the same factions as your starters
If the project then hits $7600, all target busters will get:
A single choice for each starter set you have in your Perks from a pack of Britanan Highlanders, Orcnar Angilde, Vaettir Cwalu or Nuem Auxilium Sagittarius — Remember, you get one choice for each starter set you have in your perk/s and they don’t have to be the same factions as your starters!

In between so much apocalyptic testosterone comes a “break release” for Dark Elves, a female figure: a Dark Elf Sorceress in full trance of magic invocation.
The blister comes with six magic flames to glue wherever you prefer to emphasize the magic spell effect.
A “break release” is a release that is out of the current army season. On every army season there will be some break releases to make releases a bit more varied.
Hope you like it!
