It’s been a busy week elsewhere on the site so it took me a while to put the newsfeed together. Of course, it may have also been delayed by getting a certain first peek as well…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gunslinger Releases Phase 1 To The General Public And Previews <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Big news from Gunslinger this week – we have now released the first phase as both STLs (on My MiniFactory<\/a>) and Print on Demand (thanks to our partner Desk-Ops<\/a>). These sets are available right now and we’re running offers on each – Desk-Ops includes an introductory discount while using the code “20SPLENTY<\/strong>” on My MiniFactory for 20% off anything Flytrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, I’m even more excited to show off the next phase of Gunslinger – Kojoti! The first set of figures will be released on the 15th of October but for now, have the first two rifleman figures that Anton has produced. I’m already super happy with these guys – we’re going super hard on the variety and details on this set and even these first two show off some of the little touches we’ll be going for on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want your own set of these guys, the only way to get them when they release on the 15th is via the Flytrap Digital Patreon<\/a>. Stand by for more details on the first two sets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Spectre Unleashes The Spook For A Limited Time Only!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spectre has released its previously announced Spook figure for the Spooky Season! This guy is available right now<\/a> on the Spectre store, letting you set up your own 60mm tall buddy to guard your desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combat Octopus Shows Progress On The Bodyguard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Combat Octopus<\/a> has been hard at work on the next release for his Patreon, bringing use some bodyguards for the tabletop. These guys will be coming with the MP7 and the PPK-20 shown (as well as an MP5) and you can see he’s pushing ahead hard with these guys to nail that “bodyguard waiting for things to kick off”. As always these guys are modular, so there is going to be some really cool possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urban Scatter Takes You To The Mini-Mart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Urban Scatter Gaming continues his spate of releases with a whole host of decorative pieces for your local shop<\/a>. Large fridges to cover the walls, drinks and vending machines, shelves and the all-important checkout counter. Plus, as you can see above, literally all the various produce you might need to make your shelves look more like Saturday shopping trip rather than an abandoned post-apocalypse. You can see in some of the renders some awesome little scenes showing them all laid out and it’s definitely going to elevate your board to a whole new level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has also released two other sets to assist with your gaming – a free set of bases<\/a> and some cool markers to help you mid-game<\/a>, marking out things such as unknown contacts, objectives or smoke clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern Miniatures Launches Modular 28mm Vehicle Frontier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Modern Miniatures launched via Frontiers his Modular 28mm Vehicles project<\/a> (which I mentioned last week)<\/a>. This set includes three different vehicles (Modern Car, Modern SUV and Crown-Vic) with various modular bits to let you make them into police or taxi. There is also a pile of addon parts – interesting how it’s mostly street decoration rather than parts for the vehicles but it does also include a rather nice little news helicopter if we get roughly an additional $714.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

If you want to support my work on gathering the news together, my Patreon<\/a> is the best way to keep things going. With a minimal cost of \u00a31 a month, every little helps to keep the news spigot flowing and to let me cover more of the suppliers out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, if you are a REAL news fan, there is a brand new tier called, shockingly, News Fan. For \u00a35 a month (or \u00a31.25ish a news post), you can guarantee you\u2019ll get your weekly dose of news updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you think the news is only okay but would like to see me actually do some hobbying, then you can join the Board of Shadowy Figures for \u00a37.50. This group will, before the start of every month, vote from a selection of mini-projects I have in the pipe and tell me which one to work on this month. I\u2019ll then do my best to work on it and by the end of the month report back with my success or failure in a little post. If that sounds exciting, it\u2019s available for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
