We've been looking at loads of awesome things that happened in the tabletop world this week and announcing a new Game Designer Challenge with a focus on making a new Halloween game!

Some BIG stompy robots are coming to Dystopian Wars. These Dreadnought Class Robots were previewed over on the Spartan Games Fan Page showing off models for the Blazing Sun, Prussian Empire and Covenant Of Antarctica...

The Macrocosm Kickstarter is now funded and that means they're looking ahead to new models! With that in mind both the Grem and a new darker faction will be getting themselves some new models...

The new factions for Macrocosm are nearly unlocked as their Kickstarter closes in on their funding goal. This of course means more goodies for everyone including those backing for the new factions and fans of the old ones too...

Join us on this wonderful Sunday about all things hobby related. We've been tinkering away on different projects and got surprised at new Warmachine plastics! Join Backstage To Watch!

Macrocosm have launched their Kickstarter Campaign to fund the two new races in their Sci-Fi tabletop game. The factions in the pipeline are the sneaky Grem and the mysterious '3rd Race' who do battle in big battlesuits...

We had a bit of a surprise here in the studio today when Justin and John unboxed the Reliant and Stormclad Warjacks from Cygnar in Warmachine and found out that Privateer Press had taken a HUGE step in offering up the components in a different way...

If you don't know what 'pins' are then oops - I think I may have hit you with too much British. Anyway, Puppets War have been working on their rather huge Mech and any mechanical construct worth its salt needs some hefty legs.

White Dragon Miniatures have continued their updates for the Marine Tactical Unit Kickstarter in 15mm as well as an introduction for Shattered Void, their 3mm dogfighting space combat game coming soon too in the same universe...

Privateer Press, in addition to all those new Horde miniatures, have also added a new Character Light Warjack to their collection for Warmachine. Cygnar are getting the rather well named 'Ace'...

Puppets War have turned their hand to something a bit bigger than you're used to from them. Over on Facebook they shared this image which points to one hell of a big Mech or Walker type contraption...

Another Warhammer 40,000 game is making its way to your mobile devices. This time we take on the role of one of the universe's most feared machines of death, an Imperial Knight. Engage in some vehicular slaughter in Warhammer 40,000: Freeblade.

If you like the idea of not having to do a lot of the fighting yourself in games of AFTERLIFE by Anvil Industry then see what you make of the Protos Battle Drone which can be synced up to characters like Natalya Federici to protect her in a firefight...

Evil Bear Wargames is a small operation based out of Bristol in the UK and they have not only got some neat models with the Bear Tactical Hardsuits but also a miniatures game of their own, OSC: Part One - Skirmish.

Macrocosm is heading to Kickstarter later this month on the 27th of August to fund two new factions for the game. In a definite war of little versus large say hello to the concept art for the Grem and the Battlesuits. They will be joining the Digger Corp and Malignancy soon!

If you like the Weird World War theme and Japanese fighter planes then you'll certainly want to check out Industria Mechanika's Mitutake Nishimura Zero which is going to be available very soon indeed...

It looks like Forge World are going to be getting something with even bigger guns than they already possess. This titanic piece of resin was spotted on their blog...take a look.

If you liked the look of the previous Mech Suit we showed you from Albino Raven Miniatures, the Purifier, then you'll certainly like the look of it's smaller siblings with the rocket armed RX-505 and the melee focused RX-807...

We're talking 3D Printing & Laser Cutting with Killian and pondering on the future of Horus Heresy With Games Workshop and those new plastic models. Try Backstage For Free!

White Dragon Miniatures have got to the stage where the pledge manager for their 15mm Sci-Fi campaign is nearly ready and models are coming to life! Not only is The Fiddler going off to the printers but they've been working hard on the Strix Recon Mech and a tank alongside Prodos too...

Paolo Parente's DUST gets two new starter sets this week in the form of both the Mercenary Starter Set - Taskforce Tanya and the Blutkruez Starter Set - Kampfgruppe Von Stein. You can check both of them out below, each coming with a walker and much more besides...

Wargame Exclusive have some really neat looking additional Robot Head components that we think are a nice replacement for the ones you'd normally be using on your Kastelan Robots. See what you think...

Mantic Games are bringing war to the pitch of DreadBall with their Xtreme Xpansion where you get to bring even more massive players up from the dugouts. See what you think of them below...

Battletech the long standing game of warfare with mechs has a couple of new Technical Readouts available to upgrade your army today.

Forge World have some more new models for you today focusing in on the power of Chaos. The first of these new models is Cor’bax Utterblight, a Nurgle Daemon of incredible power. There is also the new kit for the Chaos Knight which enables you to ruin the pride of the Imperium...

Albino Raven have released a rather ace looking Walker/Mech onto the battlefield in the form of the Purifier. This monster of a battlemech looks like it has the weaponry to make any heretic quake in fear...

Critical Mass Games has hit Kickstarter with a really big mech.

With the Convergence Heavy Vector for Warmachine now built and magnetised by Romain he settles down to show off an easy way to add Non-Metallic Metals to the model.

Forge World have added another beast of a walker to the Warhammer 40,000 universe. You know that Khorne Lord of Skulls? Well, they made it much better and turned it into the Kytan Daemon Engine...

Clockwork Goblin Minis has released some pictures from their upcoming rulebook to due out later this month.

Romain helps add some customisation to his epic Convergence Heavy Vector for Warmachine and shows off how to magnetise it for a pair of options in the box.

If you like running around with Mechsuits on the tabletop (and who doesn't?) then go and check out the D.A.R.K. P.M.C Kickstarter which is coming to a close over the next few days. They have a neat looking range of 54mm tall Mechs who would be perfect for a range of tabletop games...

There is a new Kickstarter in progress that is offering Sci-fi warfare in 6mm, called Star Legions from Bradley Miniatures.

Forge World has up for pre-order the Mars Pattern Warlord Titan. Get yours now, if your bank account can handle it.

Harebrained Schemes have been showing off another of the new sets coming to Golem Arcana with the Cabal of the Onyx Cliffs. See what you think of these towering beasts...

Some more big chunky gears have been created for the world of Heavy Gear. See what you think of Dream Pod 9's Northern Grizzly and Kodiak which have gone through a bit of a revamp for the backers...

John has been adding to his Khador army for Warmachine and has picked up a doozy; the mace wielding character Heavy Warjack Ruin.

Dream Pod 9 Have been showing off some more of the 3D work going into their Heavy Gears. Not only have they had a look at the Northern Tiger but also another pair in the form of the Spitting Cobra and King Cobra...
