The miniature is shown on a modified standard 50mm plastic base.

The majority of Pit Beasts are slightly larger than man size, but far more powerfully built.

Urban Mammoth have posted painted samples of their upcoming VASA Black Legion miniatures painted by Angel Giraldez.
From their announcement:
The Black Legion is an out-and-out military force. The mere mention that a Black Legion unit has been deployed in the vicinity is often enough to disperse rioting mobs, or shake the resolve of all but the most dedicated of criminals or rebels.
These highly mobile soldiers are equipped with jump packs and armed with high tech ION Lances. In battle they pose a serious threat, being well equipped to take on most comers. As leaders, Black Legion Sergeants tend to lead from the front. Veterans of many conflicts, they are among the most dedicated of VASA regular troops.
Urban Mammoth have updated their Urban War/Metropolis release schedule to include figures and pricing for Wave 12 of releases.

Equipped with powerful Vibro Scythes and high tech Negatron Shields they are extremely effective assault troops. Shock Marines are present in most major engagements and they’re never allowed to rest for long, being constantly shuffled to where the fighting is thickest.
Issue 10 of the Iskandria News Network fanzine is available for download
From their website:
Issue 10 sees the addition of 2 more staff and the departure of one of it’s longest standing supporters, Jesse Almeida. As well as all the regular articles there is also a new item in the fiction section.
Urban Mammoth have posted a preview photo of a painted sample of the Gladiator Taurian Howitzer Team.
From their announcement:
New images have just been added to our homepage of the forthcoming Gladiator Taurian Howitzer Team, painted by Angel Giraldez.
Heavy and unwieldy as they are these weapons are manned only by the strongest Gladiators. They’re often crewed by Secutors reassigned from other duties, or by the men who operated the heavy equipment and gimmick weaponry used in the arenas. For this reason field howitzer crews are nicknamed Taurians for their bull-like strength.
Urban Mammoth have announced that stat cards for their Urban War game are now available for download in a German language version.
Urban Mammoth have posted photos of a painted sample of their Junker Titus IV Nero.
From their announcement:
The Nero is a typical example of simple but brutally effective Junkers design. Its basic chassis is identical to that of the Scorpio, and it is manufactured on the same production lines, but a set of huge chain saws replace the Scorpios cannon and manipulator arms. The result is a very powerful close combat weapons platform; the diamond hard teeth of the chainsaws can rip through the thickest armour as if it was paper.

The latest issue, number 9, of the fan created Iskandrian News Network Urban War and Metropolis fan-zine is now available for download.
From their website:
This issue’s main focus is on terrain. There were already some good terrain submissions so we added a few more to complete the issue. There are now three regular columns: Tactical Insight, Terrain Outpost (which is Jesse Almeida’s terrain column) and Saramin Says. Also in this issue - more fiction.
Urban Mammoth have posted photos of a painted Koralon Spore Drake.
From their announcement:
New images of the forthcoming Koralon Spore Drake painted by Angel Giraldez have just been uploaded to the web site. The model is shown on a standard 50mm plastic base, it measures 50mm from base to tip of crest spike.
Spore Drakes are just as heavily armoured and difficult to kill as Venom Drakes, however they’re somewhat less dangerous in close combat. That said they should still only be tackled by heavily armoured specialists, or taken out at range, as they’re more than capable of massacring an entire squad of marines or such like.
The real threat that a Spore Drake poses though is in its Spore Launchers, gun like appendages that sprout from its arms. These operate much like a mortar, firing a large hard-shelled spore in an arcing trajectory. On impact they explode, scattering a mixture of razor sharp shards and corrosive liquid over a wide area.
Urban Mammoth have posted photos of new tokens and template sets for Urban War and Metropolis.
From their website:

Urban Mammoth have posted preview photos of the Junker Titus IV Nero.
From their announcement:
The Nero CLAU was developed in response to reports from frontline legions equipped with Scorpio battlesuits. More and more often they were encountering heavily armoured enemy formations, and needed a specific counter to these threats.
The Nero is a typical example of simple but brutally effective Junkers design. Its basic chassis is identical to that of the Scorpio, and it is manufactured on the same production lines, but a set of huge chain saws replace the Scorpios cannon and manipulator arms. The result is a very powerful close combat weapons platform; the diamond hard teeth of the chain saws can rip through the thickest armour as if it was paper.
The Junker Titus IV Nero is part of Metropolis Phase 9 releases scheduled to ship January 21st.
Urban Mammoth have posted previews of the miniatures set for release as part of phase 8 of miniature releases.
