On the figure side, we have another three figures that will come with these Cartel soldiers. As you can see, we have a good mix of fighters in body armour with higher-end weapons than you might expect for a ragtag force. According to the preview, we will soon be seeing a figure with a Barrett .50cal (popular in the region and available in reasonable numbers thanks to friends north of the border) as well as a figure with some form of LMG to provide suppressive fire. The exact weapon hasn&#8217;t been chosen yet, but there are plenty of options floating around, which means we could see some interesting fighters. No idea on the total element size, but I expect we&#8217;ll see them soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab81b60bfd9e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab81b60bfd9e\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img data-opt-id=1574640898  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\/09\/image-73.png\"  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--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-34478\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\" old-srcset=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:1551\/h:896\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-73.png 1551w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:87\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-73.png 150w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:444\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-73.png 768w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:1536\/h:887\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-73.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\">On the vehicle side, we have a UAZ 469, a Cold War classic from the Soviet Union that still has a user list as long as my arm.

These sets are generic enough for a variety of games, while still letting you place a marker on the board without detracting from the game&#8217;s visuals. Mounted on 15mm MDF bases, these will be sold fully painted and matt varnished. A nice addition to the range.<\/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\">Haywire Modern PDF Now Available<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab81b60c17ae&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab81b60c17ae\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img data-opt-id=1582491602  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\/09\/image-74.png\"  decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" 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-34480\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\" old-srcset=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:1080\/h:1350\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-74.png 1080w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:120\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-74.png 120w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:960\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-74.png 768w\" \/><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 the pre-orders earlier this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HaywireWargame\">Haywire Modern<\/a> is now available in purely PDF form.

next pack, bringing four more figures for the British forces in Afghanistan around 2007. We now have all four bodies for the release, with two riflemen, a machine gunner (whose pose can also be used for the L85 with UGL) and a pose using his radio to contact the rest of the platoon with his assault rifle in hand. These will be a handy addition to the existing four picks from set one, especially when taking advantage of the modular nature of these sets. The release should be out before the end of the month, as the next stage is making the new heads to go with the release (including some with only the bowman headset on, which will be very useful in the bits box), and then it will be final checks. As you might have guessed, I&#8217;m quite excited for this release.<\/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\">SkullForge Studios Releases Arsenal Mega Bundle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab81b60c5e59&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab81b60c5e59\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img data-opt-id=1982300872  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\/09\/image-80.png\"  decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" 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-34486\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\" old-srcset=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:1200\/h:628\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-80.png 1200w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:79\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-80.png 150w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:402\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-80.png 768w\" \/><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\">Finally, we&#8217;re stepping away from strictly Ultramodern to take a look at a deal that is frankly bonkers. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/c\/skullforgestudios\">SkullForge Studios<\/a> (who usually appears in this article whenever they are doing something related to the modern day, such as Tactical Stealth Action or cool mercenaries) has also been hard at work on a game with a figure range called Arsenal. Heavily inspired by the vibe of games like Titanfall 2 (whose visual language pulls from kitbashing modern vehicles and kits), this game pits players against each other with a mech, a pilot, and a few infantry grunts to provide backup. The range has slowly grown over the last few years (the game originally launched in 2024) and has now reached an impressive size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which makes it bonkers that on the Humble Bundle website, you can get it all (including the rules) for less than \u00a325. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humblebundle.com\/software\/skullforge-studios-arsenal-mega-bundle-software\">Arsenal Mega Bundle<\/a> includes 35 items, including all the MCVs (or mechs), several pieces of terrain, multiple infantry squads, and even some add-on bits. A sizable portion of the range is modular, with both infantry and mechs letting you swap parts and pose them. This is an insane bundle (although it does miss out some of the eclectic sets such as <a href=\"https:\/\/skullforgestudios.gumroad.com\/l\/eilpgc?layout=profile\">a certain Jolly Man<\/a>) and for that price it&#8217;s perfect for getting people into the game. However, you don&#8217;t have much time to grab it &#8211; the bundle is running for another 12 days or so as this is written, so run across to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humblebundle.com\/software\/skullforge-studios-arsenal-mega-bundle-software\">Humble Bundle website to grab this bundle<\/a> (and then the <a href=\"https:\/\/skullforgestudios.gumroad.com\/\">SkullForge Studios Gumroad <\/a>for anything else).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-opt-id=965187363  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png\"  decoding=\"async\" width=\"1058\" height=\"775\" 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-31472\" old-srcset=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:1058\/h:775\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png 1058w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:110\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png 150w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:563\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to support my work on gathering the news together,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ChargeBlog\">my Patreon<\/a>&nbsp;is the best way to keep things going.
