Gunslinger – Updated Black Sector Deployed

07/08/2023

Good news to all Patrons backing Gunslinger – the first month’s releases (the Black Sector Assault Team and Breacher Team) are now available in an updated and improved form. Following user feedback, Anton has been working like mad to get the files changed over, fighting real-world shenanigans as well as the regular monthly workload for both Gunslinger and the rest of the Flytrap range to get these changes done and into your hands. Frankly, the tonal whiplash between the bad news and the results over the weekend has been quite a lot, but he’s been an absolute machine. The picture…
Gunslinger – Deep Dive On… Release 1 – Black Sector’s Global Interdiction Group

31/07/2023

Long before I even came onto the Gunslinger project, Anton was hard at work making the figures to introduce the Gunslinger concept to the wider world. Picking a first range isn’t an easy thing – it’s going to be the benchmark that future releases are held up against, needing to give you enough space to really show off what you’re trying to do while also being a popular enough topic to get people to actually buy it. As much as some loud people might express their interest in something very specific and unique such as modern Peruvian Special Forces, the…
Gunslinger – The Mission Statement

27/07/2023

The word keeps coming up. I’ve talked about its first release, I went through all the previews and teased my involvement all the way back to March. But what actually IS Gunslinger? Gunslinger is a brand that forms part of the Flytrap Digital Patreon, releasing Ultramodern figures. After having made a range of Ultramodern physical releases under his Warfighter brand (as well as producing commission work for other parties), Anton decided back in 2019 that he wanted to re-enter the Ultramodern space with his own range and began gathering assets and designs My role in the story has been mentioned…
The News Stand: Black Powder Red Earth Prepares For Historicon

19/07/2023

Good news for readers across the pond heading to Historicon in Lancaster, PA this weekend! Echelon, the makers of Black Powder Red Earth and the game I won’t shut up about BPRE28mm, are going to be there from Thursday 20th of July through to Saturday 22nd. Checking the exhibitor’s list, Booth 416 is where you should be looking for them, although they are going to stand out a mile with their artwork. However, as well as getting to see the game and get your hands on the components to feel how nice they are, it sounds like Saturday will also…
The News Stand: ESS Previews RECON and Print On Demand Hits Hard

19/07/2023

Okay, yes, not skipping News updates again because Enemy Spotted studios also gave us a pile of stuff to talk about. First of all, more information on RECON, the high speed pickup and play variant of InCountry. As well as reminding us of the date, we also got information on two of the sets being released. The Covert Kill Team was shown off last week, but we have more info that they are armed with the ShAK-12 battle rifle, letting you slam 12.7mm rounds to take control of close quarters fights. There is also talk of rules allowing for you…
The News Stand: Spectre’s Quad Hit – Print on Demand, US Cops,Vehicle Parts and Campaign Rules

19/07/2023

Sorry for the delay on this one, my weekend was a little busy so I didn’t get a chance to capture the news. Which would normally be fine, but over the last week Spectre went all out on the update front! First up, let’s talk about the big news. Over the weekend, Spectre ran its first trial event of providing Print on Demand (POD) figures. This is something that it’s made a lot of sense for Spectre to provide alongside its STL offerings, seeing as Spectre’s core fanbase was built up with physical releases and a lot of the customers…

I am pleased to announce the first release of the new Gunslinger range from Flytrap Digital is coming out at 12:00 NZST on the 15th of July 2023, for those backing the Patron at the appropriate levels. This release has been a long time coming and the last few days have been a blur of back and forth making sure all the final touches are ready for this first release. You’ll find the release trailer embedded above or can be found by clicking here. Before we can get started, disclosure time! I’ve been chatting with Anton at Flytrap since March…

Well, if you missed out on that, you can now get them from the Modern-Miniatures.eu My Mini Factory page or if you’re inside the EU at his webstore.
