I actually changed my Pandora station because of this playlist. *rocks out to Amon Amarth* But while I'm listening to Heavy Metal, you guys can go back Black Earth: Heavy Metal, a new expansion for the Black Earth sci-fi minis game. Nuclear Shrimp is looking to bring some new vehicles to the three main faction of the game, and they're needing your help to do it.
Black Earth : Heavy Metal is a miniatures and rules expansion to our published Black Earth tabletop wargame. This is an opportunity to update our range of miniatures, focusing on vehicles, and at the same time update our wargame ruleset.
The campaign initially focuses on one vehicle for each of the 3 factions, the Tecton Order Minotaur IFV, the Brute Monster Truck and the UEF Bulldog MBT. Along with the vehicles we are also going to attempt to fund one infantry unit for each of the factions (Tecton Stormtroopers, Brute Raiders and UEF Infantry). Furthermore, all our products are going to be available in 28mm and 15mm scales while all vehicles are also going to be available in 6mm scale. As the campaign progresses we are going to attempt to fund more miniatures and options for them.
The campaign is closing in on 2x funded with still 18 days left to go.

Nuclear Shrimp Games has launched their Indiegogo campaign for their brand new sci-fi miniatures game, Black Earth. Take control of your own band of troopers in this near-future (the game's set in 2070) game.
From the campaign:
Black Earth is a stand alone miniature wargame, with a brand new ruleset, a large collection of original miniatures and an entire fictional universe to back it up. The game is designed to simulate real time tactical combat between small armies. There are no turns in Black Earth - both players engage at all times. Apart from the narrative environment it brings to the tabletop, Black Earth is also designed to be a fully competitive game fit for organised and tournament play.

We've arrived, beautiful readers. Friday is here and we're making our way through it to the weekend. It won't be long now and there'll be a couple great days of just hanging out and maybe doing some gaming. I'm happy because my friend came back from LVO and brought me the new Season 3 cards and a couple players for Guild Ball. So I'll be assembling Granite and Veteran Siren either tonight or tomorrow, with them hopefully seeing the pitch soon. Best to make sure I'm well-fed on some bite-sized gaming stories.

Sacred Sword is the world that our chibi miniature line belongs to. While the game and the world are not present in this project, it dictates our overall theme and feel. The Sacred Sword line will be a high fantasy world, with a distinctly classic RPG feel. Modeled heavily after your favorite classic JRPG games but with a lot of added character and flair. We hope to provide a compelling universe for both your favorite RPG engine or other games that you want to use these for.
The Sacred Sword miniature line is a roughly 30mm scale chibi miniature line. The average human figure will be about 30mm tall, cast in trollforged resin and unpainted.
We've teamed up with the great crew at Impact Miniatures to produce the best figures at an excellent price and to utilize their vast experience and improve our project as much as possible! I've had a look at a lot of their newest figures and the casting and such are tops! We'll be carefully working with them to ensure every figure is cut well and casts as cleanly as possible.

Ben and Shae Boersma, the husband and wife team behind Australian design studio Darwin Games have been starting to release information about their upcoming realtime arena combat game 'Eye for an Eye: Arena'.
This new game, the pair's second featuring their quirky little Occulites, puts you in control of a single gladiator-like combatant - usually an Occulite. The big difference between this and any other gladiator, small skirmish or arena combat game is that in Eye for an Eye: Arena, the game takes place in real time.

RBJ Game Company has introduced their Sci-Fi line of miniatures. They started out with heavy armor S.T.A.R. Troopers and have added BDU Troopers and various aliens and sprues. Ben Rodman developed the concept artwork and Bobby Jackson’s brilliant sculpting ability brought the figures to life. The miniatures are spin cast in white metal. You need to check out the detail of these figures which have been masterfully cast by Fortress Figures.
RBJGC has fulfilled two successful Kickstarters. They are currently running an Infestor Invasion Kickstarter which features the alien enemy of the S.T.A.R. Troopers. The Infestors, sculpted by Gene VanHorn, fit nicely on a one inch base making them perfect for tabletop gaming. With the current Kickstarter and planned S.T.A.R. Trooper releases the RBJGC miniature line will soon be offering over 100 figures, sprues and bits.
The Dice Base: Master is 12" tall by 9.2" wide by .67" deep each panel.
The dice pockets are 1.1" deep and nearly an inch wide to accommodate all standard and plus standard plus (20mm) dice both polyhedral and standard casino style.
The Map and character space is on the large side of 8.5" by 11" to accommodate standard notebook and graph paper and the cavity is .9" in total height so you cans even store your dice, miniatures or anything just shy of an inch along with your papers.
Black Earth is a fast paced squad based tactical miniature wargame. The game introduces a revolutionary rules system which attempts to simulate real time in an abstract manner and brings a level of realism never before seen in a turn based strategy game.
For those who seeks ultimate knowledge this Demon is a legend. Once an ordinary human, a scholar turned into chaotic monstrosity. A prize or a curse? Demon with two faces and multiple personality. Some call him Twin of Fate. A lesson for those who dig to deep where one should not but at the same time a fate of one's dreams.

RAINN Studios and Lovecraftian horror artist David LaRocca have joined forces to create Elder Dice. Each set features one of three Lovecraftian symbols: The Great Cthulhu, the "Star" Elder Sign, and the "Lovecraft" Elder Sign. The complete sets of polyhedral dice can be used in any roleplaying game. Plus, tubes of six-sided Elder Dice will be available for when you need to roll d6s by the fistful.
The dice themselves are beautiful, but they have also created something truly special for them. Each polyhedral set comes in a matching spell book box (grimoire) that snaps shut with a magnetic closure. No need for that old dice bag! Elder Dice are a work of art that will be gracing gaming tables everywhere.
Elder Dice will be coming to Kickstarter very soon.

We're halfway there, everyone. Midway point of the week. The weekend's coming ever-closer. Hopefully you have some sort of gaming plans scheduled. I mean, it's the weekend. Don't want to just be sitting at home doing nothing (though, actually, there's something to be said about that from time to time, too). Well, no matter what you do, we need to finish up this week first. So let's get some energy via bite-sized gaming stories.
Today on the platter we have: Brigade Models Release Updated Japanese Aeronef, Black Earth 28mm tabletop wargame launches on IndieGoGo in February, Purgatory is entering the final 2 weeks of Pledge Manager, Krakon Games Kickstart their Scum & Smuggler characters, Latest Releases Available From Dark Sword Miniatures, New Legionary Releases From Kromlech, Ludus Magnus Studio Announces Sine Tempore Board Game, Tabletop Tyrant Miniatures Cases Up On Kickstarter, New Releases Available From Victoria Miniatures, Khurasan releases 15mm T-64BV Tank, and Hardwood deck boxes with Illuminated artwork on Kickstarter.
Today we've released updated versions of our Japanese Akashi and Yakumo Aeronef. These were originally remade for the Imperial Skies Kickstarter program, but a series of minor mishaps has delayed their full release.
However, we finally have a reliable working production mould for the two models and everyone else can at last purchase the two new redesigned versions. The overall layout of the models hasn’t changed, but the detail has been improved and the Yakumo has gained separate turrets rather than the original cast-on ones. The two new designs will also appear in fleet packs from now on.
VAN-604 – Yakumo class Heavy Cruiser – £3.50 VAN-605 – Akashi class Light Cruser – £3.00
In the earth of 2070 a race of mutated humans, known as the Homo Inhumanum, is wreacking havoc among the human population. The United Earth Federation, the largest political union on the planet, initiates Operation : Meteorite, a campaign to eradicate the brutes in an attempt to solidify itself as the protector and guardian of mankind. Meanwhile, the Tecton Order, an elitist separatist faction within the UEF, is conspiring to see the operation fail and cause the federation to fall apart.
Black Earth is a fast paced squad based tactical miniature wargame. The game introduces a revolutionary rules system which simulates real time in an abstract manner and brings a level of realism never before seen in a turn based strategy game.
Take control of one of the three factions and fight for dominance in the battlefields of the late 21st century.
Purgatory, the successful Kickstarter from Underestimated Games Limited is the final two weeks of the pledge manager. With only 5 models left to create, the project is full steam ahead in a bid to deliver the project early if possible. This is why there is a short pledge manager duration.
With 10 models sculpted in the time since the Kickstarter ended and more in progress it is clear to see that this project is focused on fulfilment.
There is no better time to get involved with the project with a range of great models, accompanied by a simple and effective game system that will allow you to fight across the table from now until the Age of Purgatory ends.
A small range of alien character models have been sculpted to use in 28mm tabletop games. Krakon Games is looking to crowd-fund the casting of these sculpts in metal and begin building a Science Fiction range.
We have 10 brand new releases kicking off our 15th Anniversary Celebreation that are here and ready for shipping out around the world. Treat yourself or your friends/family to some wonderful new miniatures!
Those words, pronounced many moons ago, flash across his mind like bolts of lightning. In the shadows of the tiny cabin, a silhouette is barely outlined by the faintest flare of a burning cigar. Every time felt like the first, no matter how many planets he'd visited... the suspense of a new discovery and the fear of the unknown were a constant source of excitement. The rumbling of the ship's motors slowly faded, like the gentle purr of a giant cat. The captain was all too familiar with the unstable companionship of plasma technology; the propellers needed to cool down and they had every chance of being found on that freezing, inhospitable planet. Who knew what he himself would find... a peaceful population with whom to join forces in the task of survival, or some alien beast ready to devour him? He instinctively ran his fingers across his face, inadvertently caressing an old scar... he had let his guard down that time, he tells himself. It won't happen again. A metallic voice informs him that the landing was successful. Dressed in his exo-suit, he activates the holo-visor on his left forearm and announces "This is Captain Achab speaking. To all crew, prepare to disembark. I repeat, prepare to disembark. Follow the phase one protocol: Inspection and classification of the surrounding environment. We aren’t hunters, but let us not be confused with prey."
All of our cases include your choice of foam in the price. We have designed the Defender as multiple customers requested a stackable and affordable storage case to transport their armies.
The Defender will cost £25.00 with your choice of foam, the standard load-out can hold at least 180 models. You may swap out the infantry trays for any of the other trays we produce, see further down for more information.
Welcome to the first update for 2017! I'm very pleased to announce this week the Boys of the Rausenburg Siege Corps, 10 and 5 Man Squads join their Female Comrades. New bits include Male Greatcoat legs Mk2, Male Greatcoat Torsos, Victorian Backpacks and the Male Officer Sprue. Also a sneak peak of some more great work from Jake Schneider, The 'Howling Wolf Siege Howitzer', a conversion kit for the Sledgehammer BFG. Next release: Pickelhaube troops!
We are very pleased to release our latest Cold War/Modern Armour vehicle in 15mm scale, the T-64BV. This would have been the most dangerous adversary Western tanks would have faced on a late Cold War battlefield in Central Europe, combining the advanced features of the T-64 with reactive armour. The vehicle did not see combat during the Cold War but as it was manufactured for the Soviet Union in Ukraine, it is being used by both sides in the current Donbass conflict. The kit is in resin with pewter details and is available on both our 80s Cold War and Modern Russian ranges (the link goes to our 80s Cold War range).
The kickstarter went live yesterday on a product that makes almost every card gaming enthusiast drool with "Want". Deck boxes are a dime a dozen in the world and there are companies everywhere trying to make a name for themselves. These are unique, as everyone is personalized with art supplied by the consumer. The art is then etched onto quarter inch acrylic and edge lit once placed in the box. Each box is handmade, hand shaped, and even finished with hand rubbed Tung oil for a beautiful shine!
