Ever wished that there was a single site that had a listing of ALL the various game manufacturers out there?

Of course you have and it seems that you are not the only one. Some individuals have gotten together and started building a searchable gaming directory...Tabletop Gaming Directory. It is the sort of resource that is a real boon to the gaming community!

Warlord Games is now offering the Algoryn AI Intruder Scout Skimmer Squad for preorder.

Each Intruder is armed with Twin Mag Repeaters on a fast, maneuverable but lightly armored platform. The other interesting feat that they can accomplish is carry compactor drones to forward positions and operate them.

"The AI Intruder Scout Skimmer Squad kit is now available to pre-order here on the Warlord webstore – this set includes three Intruder Scout Skimmers – each of which has a single-piece resin body, with metal additional components such as the crewman, weapons etc. This set also contains three 25mm x 50mm plastic bases and three clear acrylic flying stands."

Shark Mounted Lasers, Laser Cut Card

Don't panic, this is one shark that you will be glad that is coming back. Shark Mounted Lasers is moving into their new offices and have TEMPORARILY closed their website. It may take a few weeks to get everything squared away but they will be back!

At Laser Cut Card they have dropped the prices on all of their vehicles, tanks and new turret options (learn more at Tanks and Turrets)! If you are doing some modern wargaming and have need of some very unique vehicles these are more than likely what you are looking for.

If I get enough feedback I would be willing to buy some of these and do a video on how they go together! So be sure to let me know in the comments.

Hirst Arts & Half Timber Houses

2/12/2016

Over at Hirst Arts, Bruce has been very busy working on a new series of molds...the Half Timber Houses. The three molds pictured below include the stucco (#251), wood (#224), and rubble (#258) along with the timber mold (not shown). Conceptually, you have the 1/8 inch thick tiles that you glue down to a backing material (cardstock or plastic card). Paint the tiles and the timbers...once those are dry you glue the timbers over the seam lines of the tiles.




What this does is speed up the painting process immensely as you are painting the timbers separate from the tiles so you don't have to worry about mistakes.

Bruce is very close to having these molds ready for sale, within the next week or so. You can follow the discussion thread here!

Bolt Action, Hetzer vs. Hellcat, MacAttack001

2/10/2016

Warlord Games has posted up an article (Head to Head) comparing the Hetzer vs. Hellcat, two tank destroyers.

My take goes like this, the Hellcat is a speed demon a trait that is not exploitable in Bolt Action. While some will argue this is made up by the point cost for the Hellcat, IMHO it is not equivalent. Armed with the respectable but not astonishing 76mm main gun, open topped with a Browning M2HB HMG it is a decent vehicle to add to your American force.

The Hetzer has a very low profile, is not open topped, armed with the 7.5cm Pak 39, this deadly gun could and did destroy the vast majority of Allied tanks it encountered out to 1000 meters. The addition of a remotely fired MG34 with 360 degree traverse...well it would seem that this competition would go to the Hetzer hands down. Two main points historically, the Pak 39 had to be mounted on its side to fit in the small chassis...which made loading awkward. Secondly and far more important it didn't have a turret which ultimately put it at a disadvantage against the tanks it was hunting. In terms of Bolt Action the Hetzer with a Regular crew is attractively priced at 210 points.

7th Sea: Second Edition

In a matter of mere minutes John Wick saw his 7th Sea Kickstarter funded. Having read through his spiel I have watched the pledges go up nearly $15,000...and I am not a slow reader. The Pirate Nations has just been unlocked as I was writing this.

If you are a backer you get access right now to the Quick Start Download Link.

"7th Sea is a tabletop roleplaying game of swashbuckling and intrigue, exploration and adventure, taking place on the continent of Théah, a land of magic and mystery inspired by our own Europe. Players take the roles of heroes thrown into global conspiracies and sinister plots, exploring ancient ruins of a race long vanished and protecting the rightful kings and queens of Théah from murderous villains."

"In most roleplaying games, you start off as a 1st-level loser who’s terrified of the goblin with a broken knife. In 7th Sea, you are a Hero, an icon of Théah ready to live and die for causes that matter. You can take on ten thugs with swords, knives, and guns all on your own. You don’t start off digging through old dungeons hoping to find a copper piece or two. No! You are trusted knight, a loyal bodyguard, or even… an adventuring queen herself. Right from minute one.

In other words… you’re d’Artagnan, Milady de Winter, the Dread Pirate Roberts, Jack Sparrow, Julie d'Aubigney, and the Scarlet Pimpernel all rolled up in one!

This is a game of high adventure, mystery, and action. 

This is a game of intrigue and romance
.

This is 7th Sea."

It will be interesting to see what new stretch goals John Wick puts up.

Star Wars, Age of Rebellion RPG & Lead By Example

You have put in your time, done everything that your leaders asked of you, now you have been offered a chair at the table. Are you ready to Lead By Example? Well, Fantasy Flight Games certainly hopes so because they have released this 96 page career supplement. It comes with three new Command specializations, species, gear and vehicles!

This supplement doesn't simply throw you into the deep end of the pool, be you player or GM. There are rules and helpful hints on how to handle Mass Combat in various phases of the unfolding battle. This may sound simple enough, however as any seasoned GM knows, few adventures survive contact with the players intact.

So, let me know what you think of Lead By Example!
