The 2021 convention season has been... truncated, to say the least. Hopefully, 2022 will see the actual, full return of shows and events. And Kort'thalis Publishing is making sure they get one in as well. They've announced Venger Con for next July.

From the website:

It's something I've been thinking about for a few years and just kept putting it off, waiting for the right time...

Well, it's time.

Next year (2022) on Friday July 22nd, Saturday July 23rd, and Sunday July 24th will be the first ever Venger Con!

Every month, there's a new, exclusive mini that you can pick up at your local GW store. This month, it's a new Grey Knight figure for 40k.

From the article:

Not only can you pick up the coin and collector’s album, the Miniature of the Month is none other than a powerful Grey Knights Strike Squad model. The miniature is available while stocks last, so ask your Warhammer shop how to get one. Use it to test out a new colour scheme, paint up as a special project, or even add to your growing Grey Knights army.

<weewoo! weewoo! weewoo!> Giant dragon alert! We have giant dragon alert! And it's from Draco Studios, so you know they're some awesome-looking dragons (may be biased since I've backed a few of their previous KS campaigns). This time, they've got a campaign going for Dragonbond: Lords of Vaala, their new asymmetric board game of draconic rule.

From the campaign:

Lords of Vaala is an asymmetric strategy game for 1-4 players. Play as a general, managing your army and resources, or play as a dragon destroying your foes and laying waste to the land. To win the game you must overcome the odds, plan your strategy and collect the most Vaala. The first player to amass 10 power tokens will claim victory.

Featuring absolutely stunning miniatures, breathtaking fantasy artwork from industry renown artists, and unique gameplay developed by Alessio Cavatore. Lords of Vaala is an essential gateway into the Dragonbond universe.

The campaign's more than 2x funded with 22 days left to go.

Hello Dear Patron,

Here they are, in all their mystical and magical magnificence: The Wizards from the Wizards’ Guild!

What can I say… Every month, I feel like: “God, is it cool enough? Did we do enough? Will the Patrons like it?”.

The team must somewhat be laughing behind my back, because every month I feel the same.

Then we output everything and the video comes out…

And then I realize…

WOOOOWW !!

I sure hope you will feel like me because, well... this is kicking some serious ass! And there is such a diversity of characters in this release!

Though their legs are short, the Halflings have almost made it to the battlefields in Kings of War. In this article, Mantic talks with the army's designer to look into what went into making sure these diminutive fighters can still stand a chance on the battlefield.

From the article:

With the first halfling releases now available to pre-order, we spoke to Kings of War Rules Committee chairman Matt James to find out a little more about the process for creating army lists for a new faction. You can download the beta army list here.

What's a good army to take on the forces of fire? Ice seems like a good choice. And that's what we have in the upcoming 2-player starter for Summoner Wars. We've seen the Phoenix Elves. Now, we get a first look at the Tundra Orcs.

From the preview:

Welcome back, summoners! The upcoming Summoner Wars Starter Set once again comes packed with two classic factions: Phoenix Elves vs Tundra Orcs! We’ll be taking a look at the latter in this preview. Grognack is back, and smashier than ever!

The summoner of the Tundra Orcs is capable of both leadership and taking matters into his own hands. Grognack’s influence ability can be used to rally his allies in combat, allowing them to take another shot at any failed dice rolls. This is certainly handy for a faction with many wild attacks! When other orcs can’t get the job done, Grognack can with a brutal 4 strength and sizable life value. The combination of his aura effect and powerful attacks makes this summoner quite a centerpiece on the battlefield.

Grognack also has access to Primal Fury, an aggressive summoner’s dream event! This card gives Grognack the chance to keep on smashing his way to victory with an extra move and attack during the attack phase. Perfect for busting through defenders and gates to get a suckerpunch through to the opposing summoner!

The Thousand Sons army is getting a big boost this weekend with a new codex and being included in the new Hexfire starter box for 40k. In this preview, we get a look at some of the special rules that surround these masters of magic and psychic energy.

From the article:

Eye of newt, and toe of frog. Wool of bat, and tongue of d- ahem, sorry – the Cabbalistic Rituals of the Thousand Sons are a tiny bit more advanced than that. It’s just one of the powerful new rules that the sons of Magnus will be armed with when their new codex drops alongside the awesome Hexfire battlebox.

The Thousand Sons are getting more thematic and narratively satisfying powers than they’ve ever had before – even before taking into account the codex’s faction-specific Crusade rules. The Thousand Sons have always worked together as a brotherhood of sorcerers, pooling their efforts to unleash powerful forces no individual could possibly control. Now they can do that in battle. Here’s how Cabbalistic Rituals work in the new codex.

At the start of your Psychic phase, you generate a pool of Cabal points depending on the number and type of Psykers in your army.
