Every week, I say to myself, “Man, I bet this week is going to be a shorter post”. Spoilers, it never is – the new month kicks off with an avalanche of new updates from pretty much all the usual suspects. Spectre, Combat Octopus, Flank March and more are all here, with releases, previews, teases and more!<\/p>\n\n\n

As always, thanks to the members of the Special Projects and Logistics Group, News Fans and all the other patrons over on the ChargeBlog patreon – they buy my time to make this wrap-up each week, letting me take the time to gather all the news, check the details on them and prepare them in one single place. If you like these roundups and find them useful, why not chip in on Patreon<\/a> and help to keep them going?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spectre Miniatures Asks For Feedback and Expands The Patreon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We’ll get to the big Spectre Miniatures<\/a> news in a second, but for now, let’s talk about a request for feedback they have put out<\/a>. With the stock of the initial print run almost at an end, it’s time for a reprint. Spectre is using this as a chance to implement the collection of errata and clarifications they have built up since release but also a chance to add some additional tweaks that they may have missed. The good news is that everyone who owns the current version of Spectre Operations will be receiving an updated PDF copy as well once it’s all been adjusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bigger news, however, is that STL releases are returning to the Spectre Patreon<\/a>. Now, I can already hear the pitchforks and torches being prepared and there was most certainly a response inspired by what happened the last time Spectre delivered STLs via Patreon. It is perfectly understandable for users to have some doubts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the plan this time is very different. As opposed to crafting custom figures for the Patreon, the monthly cost of \u00a315 + VAT gives you access for the new Direct Action tier will deliver each month’s infantry files for a single low cost. This covers both Mythos and Modern content, with links provided to the webstore as the figures are released, with a single collection at the end of each month. For transparency, a rough list will be provided at the start of the month (although potentially subject to change). In addition, you also receive a welcome pack of the four Aftermath figures above, giving you a chance to get printing. To help entice in former members with some reluctance, Spectre is offering a free month and welcome pack, letting you give them a shot to see if it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kicking off in May, we have already received the list of what is intended for this month, including some previews. Some of these have already been released at Salute (I saw the flamethrower and technical gunners on the rack), while the others have featured as previews on this site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
