It's hard to say "this is a new unit coming to Forge World," because lore-wise, this is actually one of the oldest units around. They're the Destroyer Squads and you'll soon be able to add these radiation-spewing soldiers to your 40k forces when they make it to Pre-order over on Forge World.

From the website:

They’re back – the bane of landscape gardeners everywhere, shunned by their brothers for their use of proscribed relic weapons, coated with radiation and chemical scorch marks that no amount of lapping powder will get out – it’s the Destroyer Squads, and they’re coming to Forge World soon.

The most brutal squads the Adeptus Astartes bring into battle, these walking war crimes date back to the Unification Wars, and perhaps even the Age of Strife. 

Initially deployed during the tail end of the Dark Age of Technology, radiation weapons, phosphex bombs, and alchem rounds were all employed to scour life from worlds across the galaxy.

There were two main ways that the Allies were looking to get into Western Europe: they could come in through the English Channel, or they could come up from underneath across the Mediterranean. In the Campaign Italy: Soft Underbelly campaign book for Bolt Action, we explore the second of those options. Get a look inside this new book in this preview.

From the preview:

With the Axis Powers ejected from North Africa, the Western Allies look to take the fight to the “soft underbelly” of Europe – Italy. This campaign supplement for Bolt Action focuses on Operation Husky, the airborne and naval invasion of Sicily, the hard-fought battles in the villages and rugged mountain passes of that island, and the advance up the Italian Peninsula towards Rome. With a host of scenarios, new units, special rules & theatre selectors, this new book contains everything players will need to refight these important battles in defence of the Regno d’Italia or to strike at the weak link of Axis Europe to knock Italy out of the war.

Gen Con may be over, but the previews from the show keep rolling through the news cycle as companies get home, get a little rest, and then post up what went on at the show. This time around, it's Wyrd. They've posted up a video preview they made while at the show about all the things they're working on.

From the announcement:

We had a fantastic time seeing everyone at Gen Con (even if it was a bit sparse in some areas!) and we thank each and every one of you that took the time to stop by, say hello, and of course, take a look at our new releases this year. Also, a huge thank you to everyone who volunteered to help us out! 

While we were busy at the convention, we sneaked out a video from Kyle and Matt where the two of them talk through some changes and upcoming releases that are on the horizon for Wyrd. If you haven't had a chance to view it yet, take a look below!

Lastly, we're finally back in the office and warehouse as of today, tired, but satisfied. While we're getting back to the grind and sorting everything, just a quick reminder that web store pre-sales will end when someone stumbles into to office in the morning and flips that electronic button. If there was something you were after, last chance.

Sure, you can play just one-off games if you want, but the real place where Deadzone shines is in a campaign setting. How will that setting be changing as the new edition rolls out? We get a look at exactly that in this preview.

From the post:

Today then it’s one of the blogs that was requested by the community. A lot of you wanted to know how campaigns will work in Third Edition. In a small skirmish game like Deadzone, campaigns are always a great way to watch your favourite characters grow and develop across a series of interlinked battles – or die horribly as soon as you’ve given them a cool name. When we were planning Third Edition we always wanted to make sure that campaigns were part of the core rules but – and this is a consistent aim across Third – we wanted to make them easier and more streamlined.

You start by creating your Battle Group – these are the resources you can pull on each time you enter a Deadzone, including your units for Strike Teams and any items you uncover while exploring the various containment zones. Instead of Resource Points, you now earn credits for successfully completed missions, e.g. selling the equipment you discovered or passing on the top secret data you hacked to a rival corporation.

Blood Bowl, as violent as it is out on the pitch, attracts a certain type of player. That includes those drawn to the bloodshed, especially, followers of Khorne, the blood god. In this preview, we get a look at the new Khorne team for Blood Bowl that's heading to the pitch soon.

From the preview:

At Gen Con last week, we revealed that the most brutally violent team in the history of the sport is on its way to join the Blood Bowl circuit. That’s right, the Khorne team is coming to spill blood in quantities never before imagined by even the most unhinged spectator. But how in the name of Nuffle’s sacred boot did the Blood God’s notoriously battle-hungry warriors ever get tempted onto the astrogranite? Let’s find out…

It may be the most violent sport in existence, but even Blood Bowl can’t compete with some good ol’ fashioned war and death for the worshippers of Khorne, right? Well, that’s what the Blood God himself thought, too… that is, until he saw a game being played and revelled in the merciless brutality unleashed by the players.

Khorne wanted in on the action, and his loyal followers were soon terrorising pitches across the Old World for the glory and amusement of their bloodthirsty patron. The Blood God’s teams took to the aggressive side of the sport with all the murderous intensity that one could expect from a bunch of glorified psychopaths, who often left the ball untouched in their frenzied determination to beat their opponents to a pulp.
