Yep, this month its the EU&#8217;s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (or PPWR) directive. This is intended to reduce the impact of packaging material waste on the environment. A good cause! Unfortunately, the method of doing so involves a layer of compliance that requires registering in every country you ship to within the EU, paying a registration fee to each one and then paying more based on how much packaging is being sent to each country. Putting aside the costs, there is also legal overhead that, while easily handled by large multinationals responsible for sending me magnets in a box 4x the size of the item, is a nightmare for the variety of smaller companies that fill the Ultramodern space. Because of this, you may have noticed several companies announcing that they are only selling to a limited number of EU countries (presumably the ones they get the most business from). If you want to read some more, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spectreminiatures.com\/blogs\/news\/ppwr-changes-to-eu-shipping\">Spectre Miniatures has a very good post on the subject on their blog, <\/a>which is well worth a look.<\/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 Changes Faces, Releases The Bootnecks and Prepares For The Cartel<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-opt-id=36897942  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/cb:nHOx.d28\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-43.png\"  decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"257\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34272\" old-srcset=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/cb:nHOx.d28\/w:400\/h:257\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-43.png 400w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/cb:nHOx.d28\/w:150\/h:96\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-43.png 150w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of Spectre Miniatures, they have a new logo. I think it&#8217;s safe to say we&#8217;ve all noticed a move into other genres of games on top of the Ultramodern focus that the original logo was designed around. With Aftermath, Outbreak, Cosmic Horror, and Solstice already released, and the Dead Earth brand now trading from the Spectre website, it makes sense to make a small branding change that encompasses all of them. Plus, we now get to see more of the spooky little ghost that pops up around halloween normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure

In fact, in the last two weeks we have seen two sets graduate from Patreon releases to being available in store as either STLs or physical releases. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spectreminiatures.com\/collections\/new\/products\/british-javelin-detachment\">Javelin Detachment<\/a> is intended to give your British Army platoon some long-range ATGM support (as well as some additional figures for the sections if you want the pack mule look of Afghanistan), giving you two figures firing the Javelin ATGM, two figures crouching and four more with Javelin mission tubes in their packs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spectreminiatures.com\/collections\/new\/products\/royal-marine-commandos\">Royal Marine Commandos<\/a> have also arrived in their latest guise, one that has moved away from the regular Infantry look and more to focus on their separate identity and role.

Cold War vehicle sets<\/a>. After the AMX-30B2 and AMX-10P, the next vehicles continue the cavalry theme. In this case, we have a pair of lighter vehicles &#8211; the AMX-13-90 and the M201 jeep. The AMX-13-90 is an upgunned version of the postwar classic, complete with its oscillating turret, and was used by the French in the 1980s as a light tank (although it was slowly being phased out). However, it has a list of conflicts it was involved in as long as my arm, with operators such as Ecuador, Indonesia and Peru still using them to this day. The M201 may look very familiar (it&#8217;s a Willys Jeep with some minor tweaks), but at the time it was in use alongside the heavy armoured vehicles to provide scouting and utility purposes. There is a great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6OqR8c_TK6Y\">Battle Order video<\/a> covering the concept, but until the M201 was replaced by the Peugeot P4, it was common to see these vehicles alongside the tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the core vehicle, both the M201 and the AMX-13-90 will get variants in the campaign&#8217;s stretch goals, such as missile-armed variants of the AMX-13\/75. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/bm3d\/armee-de-fer-stl-models-of-french-1980s-armor?utm_id=97758_v0_s00_e0_tv2_a1demo0e53lpr3\">The Kickstarter<\/a> will be kicking off on September 2nd and will come with Core vehicles (both stowed and unstowed) as well as a Turbobacker vehicle for those at the higher tier.<\/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\">Flank March Miniatures Shows Off Some Ack-Ack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a8a08f183d33&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a8a08f183d33\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img data-opt-id=640970590  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-26.png\"  decoding=\"async\" width=\"1593\" height=\"1102\" 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--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34252\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\" old-srcset=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:1593\/h:1102\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-26.png 1593w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:104\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-26.png 150w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:531\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-26.png 768w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:1536\/h:1063\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-26.png 1536w\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\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.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/flankmarchminiatures\">Flank March Miniatures<\/a>, aside from making some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flankmarch.com\/blog\/the-minefields-of-mhria-batrep\">fun battle reports of Battleground HD<\/a>, has been hard at work finishing off Wave 3 of the East Germans for Kickstarter backers.

Wave 3 is well on its way, so Kickstarter backers should be seeing this soon.<\/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\">Pegasus Miniatures Is Almost Ready<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a8a08f184c87&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a8a08f184c87\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img data-opt-id=1915660665  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-30.png\"  decoding=\"async\" width=\"684\" height=\"259\" 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--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34256\" old-srcset=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:684\/h:259\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-30.png 684w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:57\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-30.png 150w\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\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.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After some delay, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=61584987884046\">Pegasus Miniatures<\/a> is almost ready to go.

For \u00a35 a month (or \u00a31.25ish a post), you can guarantee you\u2019ll get your weekly dose of news updates and keep me going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you really want to help keep this site running, you can join the Special Projects and Logistics Group for \u00a37.50 a month.
