Adventures in Wargaming

May is at an end, but we still have one last round-up to cover – previews, releases and more, with a whole load of cool things coming down the pipe! Read on for more!
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. Frankly we’re being spoiled, so read on for more details! As always, thanks to the News Fans and other patrons over on the ChargeBlog patreon for buying my time to make this wrap-up each week.

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…

It’s a bank holiday here in the UK (yes we get two of them in May) but not even a holiday stops The News Stand. As it’s the end of the month, we’ve got a pile of previews for June from everyone from Spectre to Anvil Digital Force to Combat Octopus to Turnbase Miniatures.

Since the last post talking Old World (and the minor update in the monthly project update) things have… escalated. At this stage I’ve managed to get all the figures I need for my 2000 points list, thanks to an assault on eBay and some careful pushes. The next step was to actually assemble them all. Seeing as the Dastardly Regular Opponent needed his introduction to the Old World and the Creative Regular Opponent offered to host/provide one of the forces, I would need to get my force together. Which means I’d need to rebase and break out the glue. First…
I spent most of the weekend away from home (mostly at the Tank Museum) but in the meantime, there seems to have been a fair chunk of updates going on in the Ultramodern world.

It’s been a little while since I last posted a proper update about the ChargeReal project on this site – hobby times has been distracted by the arrival of The Old World in my group of Regular Opponents and so evenings spent printing resin and painting green have been replaced with assembling plastic and rebasing modern GW figures into a method that somehow lets them rank up properly. But that said, my brain is still focusing on building up the ChargeReal and in particular the Republic of Shyluz. Having announced the project earlier this year, I’ve been building up notebooks…
