Adventures in Wargaming

You can tell it’s summer as this week’s post is missing many of the big names (who I assume are taking a well-needed break). However, there are still plenty of exciting things to talk about, with releases, previews and more! Read on for all the details!
A quieter one this week (I assume last week’s US holiday and UK general election/England football wins are distracting everyone) but good news – there are still enough updates to deliver a News Stand and fill the top image (always the most important part!)

Last week Spectre released three sets of figures that seemed familiar but different. Taking the original 3D sculpts of the Aftermath Killteam, the Agents QRF and the Criminal Heavies and polishing them up after several years of improvements and planning (as well as changing from metal production to resin allowing for some adjustment). I never picked up the Aftermath Killteam nor the Agents QRF as they landed when I was too busy looking at the various 3D-printed alternatives. But the Criminal Heavies on the other hand was a set that was right up my street. I got my set back…
All good things must come to an end sadly. In this case, the 31st of July will see the end of the distribution of Print-On-Demand Gunslinger 2030 models by friend of the site Dan and his store Desk-Ops, as the agreement expires and Flytrap Factory take over production directly. However, as one final celebration of the project and the figures Anton at Flytrap Factory sculpted, Desk-Ops is going to be selling all of the Gunslinger 2030 packs at 20% off. With the print-on-demand model, Desk-Ops can provide all the packs in the range in a wide variety of scales (from…

This week is a little quieter than most but we still have a few updates to look at from all the usual suspects.

This week on The News Stand we’ve got a nice selection of news and updates from the Ultramodern space. Two separate Frontiers projects have been launched, Spectre spent the last week TEASING us via Instagram with a load of preview images and Combat Octopus literally came back and added more weapons to the lastest release.

New month, new update time. This one is a little less action-packed than last month due to several real-world reasons (including seeing tanks) but it’s all set for what should hopefully be a productive time. Tech Update I had written up 600+ words about the process of fixing my 3D printer but on second reading of it, I’m not sure it’s really needed. To trim it down, The good news is that I have repaired my Saturn and it’s all back to 100% working order. It involved drilling through the plastic lens to reach the bolts underneath and a quick…
