Last week, I reported on <strong>Warfront Studio<\/strong>, who appeared from out of nowhere and began stating that they were going to make plastic kits for 28mm Ultramodern US and Russian troops. I expressed some scepticism at the time and conducted investigations the following week, including a comprehensive message to the Warfront representative outlining my concerns (which was responded to with remarkable speed). Based on my investigation and the continued activities of Warfront Studio on social media, <strong>I will not be covering them on The News Stand until further notice<\/strong>. Based on my research, the preview images shown, and the fact that they are already offering paid early access to a Kickstarter that does not exist and are taking money for it (despite claiming they are fully funded for the first two sets), they are one of two things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A group of amateurs who have put the cart before the horse, failed to research the market they are attempting to enter (despite having enough investment to cover plastic production), and launched a social media blitz with unfinished products that are far from ready for release.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A company that is deliberately obfuscating the fact that they are not actually from the UK, creating models via methods that provide inconsistent results, and is operating with a collection of methods more commonly seen by companies operating in Asia (such as paid early access to crowdfunding and having a registered UK company address shared with 5654 others in Central London). <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>As someone who has been staring at this section of wargaming for over 12 years at this point, I very rarely feel the need to come out and outright refuse to cover something in the Ultramodern space &#8211; even if I don&#8217;t like something, I will still report on it, point out my issues and fling sarcastic comments in this very column until it is changed. However, this particular case is something I don&#8217;t feel comfortable directing people to, especially since money is already being taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ironically, I do agree with the message on their previews (&#8220;You Deserve Plastic Moderns&#8221;) &#8211; more plastic kits are the city on the hill that will take this niche I love much more into the mainstream. I hope that I am incorrect and this project is on the straight and level. But for now, they will not be covered by The News Stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spectre Miniatures Releases Baseball Caps and Hazmat On Patreon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f585402a8ad&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f585402a8ad\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1551\" height=\"896\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"33610\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image.jpg 1551w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-150x87.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-768x444.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1536x887.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1551px) 100vw, 1551px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f585402b0a2&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f585402b0a2\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1551\" height=\"896\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"33611\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1.jpg 1551w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1-150x87.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1-768x444.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1-1536x887.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1551px) 100vw, 1551px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting off, we have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spectreminiatures.com\/\">Spectre Miniatures<\/a> releasing products over<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/c\/spectreminiatures\"> on Patreon<\/a>. After everyone got the North Koreans last week, this week was a chance for the Patreon members to get something exclusive and something new. Spectre previously announced that we&#8217;re going to start getting some new Patreon-exclusive models, variants of existing sets. The first one is a version of the M7 armed Rangers with baseball caps rather than helmets. A handy addition and something nice for the patrons. The new figures are the four-person Biohazard team &#8211; fully kitted up in Hazmat suits and rolling some very pimped-out Kriss Vectors (all with the Hydra mount to raise the optic up). It&#8217;s also cool to note all the additional kit hanging off their belts, an ideal addition for Outbreak and Aftermath. Also, having modelled some Hazmat suits, I can see the zombie fans looking forward to how those elements can be reused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f585402b962&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f585402b962\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"767\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"33612\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2.jpg 999w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2-150x115.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2-768x590.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f585402bf21&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f585402bf21\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1551\" height=\"849\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"33613\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-3.jpg 1551w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-3-150x82.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-3-768x420.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-3-1536x841.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1551px) 100vw, 1551px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Mechanised Infantry Tier, patrons will have received the Boxer Infantry Carrying Vehicle (or ICV) model that was released to the main store earlier this month.

Patrons have been teased this sizable vehicle for a while and in May, Mechanised patrons will be able to get their hands on it (with a physical release coming later).

href=\"https:\/\/www.desk-ops.de\/en\/Brands\/Desk-Ops-Exclusives\/DOPSX-Minis\/Black-Atlas-Consulting\/\">Black Atlas Consulting<\/a> is the latest group that Dan has created, taking advantage of the modular features of Combat Octopus&#8217;s releases to give us some good old Western-style contractors. The mix of the body armoured torsos and mostly civilian legs gives them the traditional visual we&#8217;ve all grown to love, while the default heads (which can be swapped out) have all the beards and baseball caps you might need. If you need some figures in this style, you can find them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desk-ops.de\/en\/Brands\/Desk-Ops-Exclusives\/DOPSX-Minis\/Black-Atlas-Consulting\/\">over on their page<\/a>, and yes, they are included in the sale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fire! Modern Combat Shows Off The Spanish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This week, we have a new update from <a href=\"https:\/\/sen-games.com\/en\/\">SEN Games<\/a>, makers of <a href=\"https:\/\/sen-games.com\/en\/fire-modern-combat\">Fire! Modern Combat<\/a>. Released last year (and heading for a reprinting soon), the initial release included US Rangers and Insurgents before being expanded a few months later with a pre-sale that added marksmen teams (now available from their store). However, last weekend we got another pre-sale announcement, and this time they are adding a brand new faction &#8211; and excitingly, it&#8217;s a brand new nation we haven&#8217;t seen on the tabletop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f585403a7ef&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f585403a7ef\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1640\" height=\"1093\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-4-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33622\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-4-edited.jpg 1640w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-4-edited-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-4-edited-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-4-edited-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1640px) 100vw, 1640px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As appropriate for a Spanish company, this new faction is a<a href=\"https:\/\/sen-games.com\/en\/product\/spanish-army-legion-espanola-squad-box\/\"> Spanish Army Infantry Squad<\/a>. A nine-man squad equipped with G36s and MG4s and wearing their distinctive helmet and body armour, this pack can be used as both regular troops and the Spanish Legion (or Legi\u00f3n Espa\u00f1ola).

This time, we have a female operative (an occurrence that was unique among UKSF at the time) with her Browning Hi-Power in hand. What&#8217;s cool with this figure is that we have two variants &#8211; one wearing jeans and the other in a dress, ideal for adding some variety on the board. So far, we have seen 2 of the four figures for each faction, showing off the lightly armed and small-scale type of fighters that will play a part in Pegasus&#8217;s game &#8220;Contact Wait Out!&#8221;.
