Gunslinger: Black Sector – Global Interdiction Group Released for Print On Demand And MMF

07/10/2023

I’m incredibly pleased to announce that Phase 1 of Gunslinger (the Black Sector Global Interdiction team) is now available to non-patrons! It’s been a mad rush to get here but now everyone can take a look at what we’ve been making with Gunslinger, especially those without 3D printers who have been waiting for a chance to get their hands on the toys. Read on below to see what options you have for purchasing your own team of Black Sector operators. Buying Print On Demand If you want to buy the figures and don’t have access to your own 3D printer,…
The Board Of Shadowy Figures Project 1- Intro

04/10/2023

The Board has made a decision… And it looks like we’re making some terrain this month. Right, let’s actually talk about what the plan is. The goal for this project is to act as a jumping-off point for preparing my MDF buildings for the table. It’s one thing I need plenty of practice in is taking MDF from a simple structure into something suitable for the table – as you can see above, there are a lot of pieces that need getting ready for the tabletop. The building I’ve chosen to start with is one of the Knights of Dice…

It’s the start of a new month and so it’s time for all the news you can get! We have a whole host of items, Patreons and Kickstarters promising all sorts of good things for those wanting to play in the Ultramodern sphere. Gunslinger Announces Loyalty Pack and Prepares For A New Phase Gunslinger has reached the end of it’s first phase so this week we showed off what all the Loyal Gunslingers who stuck with us are getting in the Hazardous Duty Incentive. I wrote a bit about them in my Deep Dive that was finished yesterday, so it’s…
Gunslinger – Deep Dive on… Release 3 – GIG Security Team and Burya-156

30/09/2023

Last month, we took a look at Part 2 of the Black Sector Global Interdiction Group releases, covering the Command and Support teams. Alas, all good things must come to an end and this time we’re going to cover the final releases for this quarter, wrapping up the figures for Black Sector with the Security Team. However, it’s important to note that we also get to cover my favourite release in the range so far Burya-156, the first figures for a brand new faction Blockade and the first Character team. (As an aside, you can thank Urban Scatter Gaming for…
The Board Of Shadowy Figures Project 1- October 2023

25/09/2023

Over on Patreon I have rolled out a new set of tiers for ChargeBlog. It’s goal is still mostly to be more of a tip jar rather than a full on job but the offering of single tier wasn’t really doing what I’ve been wanting it to be. Saying the words “pay what you want” in Patreon’s interface doesn’t particularly work. So that’s why we now have The News Fans (to pay for the News Stand posts) and more importantly The Board of Shadowy Figures. If you haven’t looked yet, The Board of Shadow Figures basically lets you decide the…

New week, new news post. We’ve got plenty of exciting news in this post, from stuff I missed from Spectre last week to upcoming Kickstarters and even some stuff that friends of the site have been getting up to. Without further pause, let’s get to it! Gunslinger Prepares It’s First Signals Dispatch Gunslinger is taking a week off as we prepare for the launch of the next range in October. However, we’re not entirely quiet – over on the Flytrap Digital Patreon, we’ve been gathering questions from the backers to include in our first catch-up video. This is going to…

We’re halfway through September which means that things are a little calmer, a little more time for announcements and a little less running around like a mad person. Although that doesn’t mean we don’t have anything at all – read on for all the latest from this week’s News Stand. Gunslinger Releases Release 3 and Prepares For The Next Range This week was Gunslinger release week! As you can read in the release post, this month’s files are now up and available for the patrons at the Gunslinger tier. I’m really happy with what we’ve managed to release, especially as…
Gunslinger Release: Black Sector Part 3 – Security Team and Blockade’s Burya-156

15/09/2023

I am pleased to announce the third release of the new Gunslinger range from Flytrap Digital is available now, for those backing the Patron at the appropriate levels. This release ties up this quarter, bringing an end to the Black Sector Global Interdiction Group releases with a rather unusual set while also providing some OPFOR to go up against them. This month also marks the end of what we internally have been referring to as our prototype period – we’ve worked through the initial teasing troubles, set up the processes we’ll use in the months going forward and are in…
