Spectre Miniatures Shows Off The Type X and Imminent Releases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spectre Miniatures<\/a> has continued its ride with the Unmanned Ground Vehicle previews. While last week we got the THeMIS UGV, this week we got its bigger and nastier brother, the Type X. Looking more like a light tank, this UGV comes with a turret mounting an Autocannon, a remote weapon station and a pair of loitering munitions stored under armour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the big question is when are we getting our hands on these vehicles? Well good news, Spectre also did an Instagram Q&A<\/a> on Monday (literally as I was preparing this post) and we got some details! This week’s release will be the Type-X, the updated Agent Crisis Response team and some new Local Forces that have been previewed previously. There are also a few other things mentioned that could be of interest that I’ve posted above, but one I missed is that the Insurgent PMC figures will be coming to the STL releases soon. I guess it’s time to get your wallets ready for the end of the week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Austin Miniatures Preparing Modular US Infantry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Austin Miniatures<\/a> has been showing off some interesting previews on their Instagram<\/a> as they seem to be winding up for an upcoming Kickstarter. These guys have released some modular troops previously over on Gumroad <\/a>(as well as a selection of other projects) and this new Modular US Infantry set looks like it’s expanding that concept. As you can see above, the set includes the new NGSW project items, such as the SIG XM7 and XM250 LMG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, that’s not all, looking at some of the other preview items, we’re not just getting the Next Gen gear. These other images show off a selection of items, such as M320 grenade launchers, M27 and HK417 style rifles and the M18 pistol. Based on the parts we’ve seen so far, these items may mix and match with previous Austin Miniatures offerings, so it is definitely worth keeping an eye on the Instagram for further news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BobMack3d Shows Off Stragglers for World Revolution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bobmack3d<\/a>, who will not let me stop writing the words World Revolution<\/a>, has been showing off some of the final stretch goals. The BTR-50PU, the command variant, is looking great. The other preview from the last week is the early model T-72 Ural. This is still WIP, but it’s going to be cool to have one of the original variants that ended up serving in Iraq among other warzones. Ideal for a less well equipped force while still being a major threat to anyone not packing an AT weapon. These two stretch goals will be sent out along with the rest of World Revolution in the next few weeks (once Kickstarter hands over the money).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
