Games Workshop is coming out with new models based on The Horus Heresy (a kinda turbulent time for the grimdark future). In the first of these articles, they're taking a look at Maloghurst.

From the article:

Welcome to Legion Dispatch, the first in a regular series of articles where we’ll show off new models for The Horus Heresy. First up, we have Maloghurst the Twisted, the infamous equerry to Horus himself.

Maloghurst was a veteran legionary that served the Luna Wolves and Sons of Horus throughout numerous campaigns during the Great Crusade, earning the nickname ‘Twisted’ due to his formidable mind. The title took on a cruel double meaning when enemy forces shot down his transport during the pacification of planet 63-19, and he was left badly injured.* Afterwards, Horus sent a communique to the entire Legion banning the usage of unkind nicknames.**

When the heresy kicked off, Maloghurst proved himself to be one of the Warmaster’s closest confidants.*** While his injuries meant that he could no longer fulfil the role of frontline warrior, he was awarded the honour of carrying Horus’ personal icon.****

Sure, travel can be fun and exciting. You're going on an adventure. But it can also be scary. You never know what might be around the next bend. And that's where you find yourself in The Bleakness, a new horror RPG that's up on Kickstarter now that's all about traveling a road to the North.

From the campaign:

The frozen ground rises to meet the snow-scarred sky at a point indiscernible,

the monotone broken only by pitch masses of secretive trees. 

This is the path you chose, Traveler. Enter The Bleakness

The Bleakness offers a uniquely immersive horror experience. Players assume the role of pilgrims, struggling to survive on an ancient road fraught with danger and mysteries. The Bleakness is a system, campaign setting, and detailed adventure arc bound in one text. Gritty survival mechanics and the threat of the unknown create a high-tension game like no other.

The campaign is up and over its funding goal with 21 days left to go.

Looking to get a head start on your mother's day shopping, we've got all new semi-precious sets so you can show mom what a gem she is with these new dice sets.

Shots are getting into arms, but we're not ready yet to get back into huge groups for conventions (and there's the other question of whether huge conventions will ever really be a thing again anywhere in the relatively near future, but that's a conversation for another time). As such, online conventions are the name of the game, and Paizo is updating their calendar about their PaizoCon events.

From the update:

Greetings, all! With spring in the air and convention season on the horizon, we wanted to take a moment and provide some updates on our upcoming events.

Occasionally, sets in HeroClix get rotated out, meaning they're no longer valid to use in regular organized play. But what happens to all those figures that rotate out? Some get still used in a format called Golden Age, but WizKids has created a new format called Silver Age that will also help with these not-Modern Age-figures.

From the article:

Greetings HeroClix players!

We’ve got three things to share with you today: Silver Age, the 2021 Modern Age Rotation, and a special WizKids Q&A Session on Twitch!

Silver Age

A new and fun HeroClix format will be coming to tabletop and online play near you soon – Silver Age!

Why a new format? Why now? What sets will it include? These are all great questions.

Silver Age is arguably a long time coming. Initially, Golden Age scratched the itch for players who wanted to play older figures in their collection or enjoyed a bigger pool of figures to strategize from. As HeroClix approaches its 20^th anniversary, the reality is that such a large pool of figures is prohibitive even for players who have been playing for 5 or more years. With thousands of figures to choose from, many figures would rarely be considered for play.

Silver Age is a recognition that many players and stores want to support a format where they can play their figures after they rotate out of Modern Age. Since we haven’t established an intermediate format, stores often found their own creative solution. Those solutions vary greatly from venue to venue. The format your store supports is likely to be different from the format your friend participated in at another store. By defining Silver Age, we hope that it will be a standardized and enjoyable format. If you’re wondering, “why now?” – since figures are about to rotate, we don’t want players to trade away portions of their collections only to quickly want them for an upcoming format.

Silver Age includes all the figures from Superior Foes of Spider-Man and newer. Figures in this format all have the dial printed on the back of the card. Our goal is for the format to be large enough to include fun, powerful, and fresh synergies, while not being so enormous that only the very best players could make sense of the opportunities.

Since this format is new, we’ll be keeping a close eye on it. This includes which figures do well, which elements are overplayed, etc. As needed, we will update the watch list or even ban figures. Please see the 2 figures banned for Silver Age below, as well as the Silver Age Watch List. In the future, figures might be banned in Silver Age even if they’re legal in Modern Age, since the needs of the formats are different.

A new tile-laying game is on the horizon all about the balance of nature and maintaining said balance. It's called Sagani and it'll be released later this month by Funforge. They've posted up a preview and even given a link to the game's rulebook that you can check out.

From the post:

Sagani will be available in stores around the end of April! A game signed Uwe Rosenberg (Patchwork, Fairy Trails)

How is Sagani played?

Sagani is a game in which players will lay Spirit of Nature tiles to balance the elements (Air, Water, Fire and Earth). Players goal is to create color alignments without overloading your unresolved tile play area.

The tiles are mixed and arranged in 3 hidden front batteries. The first 5 of the first stack are revealed face visible and form the River.

The Spirit of Nature tiles have 3 information: their element, arrows of an element type that indicate one or more directions and their value in points (depending on how many arrows and therefore how difficult you will have to put the tile down ). Each of the tiles is one of the elements and has arrows indicating where to place tiles of another element.

The players, each their turn, choose a river tile and play it in their play area. They must try to meet the conditions specified by the arrows by placing other tiles in the directions shown to earn their winning points. To mark your progress, you place Accord pawns. If you don't have enough, you will receive pawns Cacophonia that penalize you. They can't be removed from your hand but are usable as Accord pawns.

The player who will have best respected the balance between the elements wins.

Sagani also features two solo modes, one classic (with the same rules as the multiplayer game) and the other advanced that greatly complexifies your quest for points.

Carcassonne has been a fan-favorite game for many, many years. And while many people have played it, most don't know much about the man behind the game, Klaus-Jurgen Wrede. Well, that changes now because Z-Man Games has sat down and had a little chat with him.

From the interview:

Question 1: What was the loveliest/dumbest/funniest fan-message you’ve ever received?

There have not been any mean messages so far. Yet, some people may not like one or the other Carcassonne expansion, but that is to be expected. The selection should cater for all tastes. But there have been a lot of very lovely and touching encounters so far. One of those experiences was, receiving a handwritten letter from an old married couple, who was grateful beyond means, as I had apparently saved their marriage. They had been growning apart and almost separated at that point, when they randomly bought a copy of Carcassonne. From that day on, they played together every day, which is what brought them together and saved their relationship, which became very beautiful and fulfilled once again. This touched me deeply and made me very happy, as well

A new set of dwarves has hit Forge World's webshop. They're King Dain Ironfoot and Thorin III. If you're looking for some rather regal and powerful leaders for your forces in the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game, you don't have to look much further than them.

From the website:

Having succeeded his cousin, Thorin Oakenshield, as King Under the Mountain, Dáin has ruled Erebor ever since the Battle of the Five Armies. Now he is burdened by many years, but Dáin is still a mighty warrior and a direct descendant of Durin, and he can hold his own upon the battlefield. Though age may have begun to get the better of him, and he may not be as great a warrior as he once was, the sight of Dáin Ironfoot is enough to inspire all those around him to never surrender while he still stands.

Thorin III is the son of Dáin Ironfoot and has inherited much from his father, including the same martial prowess that Dáin was famed for. Though he has gained much from Dáin and is like his father in many ways, Thorin possesses a calmer and cool-headed nature, which lends itself well to tactical insight upon the battlefield. Yet this does not mean that he is less formidable when he goes to war, and those who underestimate the Dwarven prince are swiftly cut down. It was during the Battle of Dale where Thorin came into his own, driving back the Easterling forces from Erebor and avenging the death of his father.

Dáin Ironfoot, King Under the Mountain, and Thorin III Stonehelm are the beating heart of the Erebor Reclaimed army list. If you're looking to set your battles during the time of the War of the Ring, they're the perfect options to lead your Dwarves to victory. They also have the added advantage of being two of the mightiest Heroes available to the forces of Good!

This kit comprises 7 resin components with which you can assemble 1x Dáin Ironfoot, King Under the Mountain, and 1x Thorin III 'Stonehelm'. It comes supplied with 2x Citadel 25mm Round Bases.
