Over the festive period Mantic Games teased some of what they had planned for the year ahead, among them new models for the Abyssal Dwarfs. Well the first traunch of those models has hit the webstore for pre-order with the release coming next Monday 17th in the form of the Abyssal Dwarf warband for Vanguard.

From Brooklyn to The Bronx, New York is a crumbling cesspit and the streets are ruled by gangs who fight each other for glory, money, territory and, most of all, reputation. Gang-bangers wear their colours to show pride and spray paint their tags to mark their turf. No one is safe when the local gang is on the move and the only way to prevent them harming you is to pay them or join them. Grab your gang cut and weapon of choice, as your battle starts now. Fight your way across this once great City of New York to become the King of the Rubble.

If like me you have ever wondered what the best way would be for a dwarf to despatch a dragon then prepare to wonder no longer. I know that confused people are going to say crossbows or guns, but let's face it what are the chances of them doing any damage to a dragon at height? Others may say a war machine will do the job, but really? Ignore the fantasy of Game of Thrones, dragons are swift and tricky to hit, tracking one across the sky and landing a killing blow is a million to one shot.

Pagan Miniatures are a new company that are gearing up for their first Kickstarter this month to launch their range of 35mm fantasy Vikings.

Those wonderful people at Crooked Dice have just released some new miniatures for their apocalyptic range. As society fights to rebuild in the world of 7TV it's always important to have the right people for the job, whether that job is fighting off our Alien Overlords, giant radioactive insects or just those other humans from one settlement over that want food and clean drinking water. The scum!

Highgate Miniatures have a new set of vampires coming soon from the talented Mister Bickley.
