The weapon reference cards were something floated a while back but have now received a more recent mockup. The vehicle cards on the other hand are new &#8211; although an early mockup, these should give you an idea of what they are going to include, with plenty of details above and beyond the usual weapons and statlines. The vehicle card also includes a few hints as to what&#8217;s going to be coming in the update that is arriving as part of the Frontlines expansion &#8211; from a quick glance, the different armour values for different facings show a new level of granularity as does some of the new special rules such as Spall Liner and Fire Suppression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/459402965_924040593079471_7567414912177192345_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/459402965_924040593079471_7567414912177192345_n.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/459402965_924040593079471_7567414912177192345_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/459402965_924040593079471_7567414912177192345_n-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/459402965_924040593079471_7567414912177192345_n-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of the Frontlines expansion, the other preview from this release was this guy, an insurgent drone operator. Balancing the laptop on his knee while preparing to launch the drone, he also has a set of FPV goggles to take control once it&#8217;s in the air. FPV drones (as well as an expanded drone ruleset) will be included in the next expansion, so I expect we&#8217;ll be seeing other figures with Unmanned payloads. It&#8217;s also worth noting that this figure is geared up in a similar way to the Insurgent PMC we saw last week, with a combat helmet and a full set of body armour. No release date on this figure just yet, but stand by for more previews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Austin Miniatures Shows Off The Devil Dogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/austinminiatures__2024-09-15T002642.000Z.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/austinminiatures__2024-09-15T002642.000Z.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/austinminiatures__2024-09-15T002642.000Z-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/austinminiatures__2024-09-15T002642.000Z-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/austinminiatures__2024-09-15T002642.000Z-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of their ongoing Devil Dogs, Grunts and Frogmen campaign, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/austinminiatures\/\">Austin Miniatures<\/a> has shown off the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C_6uoQit1ik\/\">US Marines over on Instagram<\/a>. With M27 rifles, M110 DMR, M320 grenade launcher and the Mk46 LMG, this provides a full set of gear you&#8217;d need for your own set of raiders. Additionally, all the figures have the USMC helmet and NVGs, making them stand out on the tabletop.

The campaign is still ongoing, so we&#8217;re getting closer and closer to the final set (North American militia with some more varied gear). The campaign is ongoing until the 1st of October, so still time to join in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fire!

This sounds like a pretty complete starter pack for getting into a brand new game, setting them up for a one-box solution to get the game on the table.

First up, the September release will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/about-september-111794516\">a set of specialists for the French Army<\/a>, bringing leaders, a marksman, grenadiers and a light mortarman. After that, October will deliver some Specialists for the Bundeswehr Airborne, but beyond that, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/about-future-111871869\">Black Hills Games is unleashing a poll system to set up a longer-range roadmap<\/a>. Now, I have my opinions about polls on Patreon but there are some very interesting options. s well as updates to the original PMC figures that BHG released back when they first started, we also have EOD specialists, drone operators and Eastern Criminal elements. The UN Force I think needs more thinking about what it will actually be (as it&#8217;s currently very open-ended) but the Tears of the Sun set is definitely the type of thing that is exciting to see. The poll hasn&#8217;t kicked off yet, but watch for it arriving soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combat Octopus Shows Off US Army Rangers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" data-id=\"29583\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Infosheet-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Infosheet-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Infosheet-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Infosheet-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Infosheet-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Infosheet-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" data-id=\"29584\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Infosheet-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Infosheet-2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Infosheet-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Infosheet-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Infosheet-2-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Infosheet-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/combatoctopus\">Combat Octopus<\/a> is working on some more Eastern European Deniable Operators for next month&#8217;s release but we have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/open-post-gothic-112091535\">few more previews for the upcoming Gothic Serpent campaign<\/a>.
