LATEST NEWS: Daughters of the Crucible: Guns and Rosaries Sovereign Tier Reveal Update - Heroes Infinite

 

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Maths Rocks,

Heroes Infinite have just sent a new video of all the extra miniatures that you get when you sign up for their Sovereign Tier.

And whilst we always go for the sovereign tier ourselves, we wanted to let you know what it brings, all for an extra $8 over the lowest tier.

Firstly you double the amount of miniatures that you get. For example, newly posed heroes like Taquita Bang Bang, a miniature with guns, beauty and is framed by the bullets within the image.

Or the Matadora collection who come with alternate heads (Pictured below) who would look magnificent on your battlefield, especially for alternate games like the forthcoming Black Death City, or even something like Necromunda as an alternate Escher Gang or finally as representative minaitures for your own Sisters of Battle leading the charge and looking fierce whilst doing it.

Each of the miniatures are pretty unique and of course for the painter within, a challenge that once achieved would look magnificent and something that very few other miniature lines out there do, bringing femininity to the battlefield.

For us, the stand outs of the Sovereign Tier this month are the two Diorama's that they have created, firstly the Gunslingers Benediction which has a very Desperado feel for us and is of course something that we would absolutely adore to tackle and of course, if you have a kick-ass order of Warrior Nuns, you need to see them battling their opponents forces which comes to the fore in the second Diorama, Blessed be the Bullet, Each if something that will look fabulous on your shelf or as a central piece of scenery on your table.

As usual we wanted to also remind you of the other tiers and their cost so you can make your choice if these miniatures have tickled your fancy.

There are three price tiers and this is what you get under the Leader Tier ($10)

9-10 Heroes

3 Dynamic Troopers

1 Epic Centerpiece

14+ Scenic Bases

2 Monsters

Whereas if you take out the Overlord Tier ($16) you will get in addition to the above:

Additional 15-20 new Troopers to create 5 different units

Exclusive alternative versions of Heroes and Monsters

Mind-boggingly extensive Modular / Scatter Terrain

Exclusive additional models for our Heroes Infinite Overlords, such as Mounted Heroes, Monsters, and more.

Finally there is Sovereign Tier ($24) where you'll also get:

Additional 15-20 new Troopers to create 5 different units

Exclusive alternative versions of Heroes and Monsters

Mind-boggingly extensive Modular / Scatter Terrain

Exclusive additional models for the Heroes Infinite Overlords,

such as Mounted Heroes, Monsters, and more.

And on top of this, you ALSO get 40+ models:

Additional 30-35 new Troopers to expand 6 existing units

Exclusive alternative versions of Heroes and Monsters

Exclusive additional models such as Mini Dioramas and more.

We hope you'll love these as much as we do.  We can't wait to see what others do with them.  

All the best,

ThunderMouser

REVEALED: Warhammer 40K Christmas Boxes - Warhammer

Hail Mighty Readers, Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks, 

Today has shown the reveal of the Warhammer 40K Christmas Box sets so we are going to go through what we thought and how we did.  Sadly we don't think we've done very well and were more than a little disappointed with the boxes that are available with only one really jumping out at us.  Here's what was revealed and their contents:

Faction: Chaos Knights

Why?

To be honest we get the feeling that this is going to be the year where the epic Plastic Chaos Warhound is going to be announced at Christmas.  As such you're going to need some other Titans to accompany them.  So hence why we're going with them.  

What would we add to the box, lots and lots of War Dogs.  lol

Whats in the Actual Box?

Knight Ruinator (can alternatively be built as Knight Abominant, Knight Rampager, or Knight Desecrator)

4 War Dog Stalkers (can alternatively be built as War Dog Brigands or War Dog Karnivores)

How'd we do?

Well to be honest with most of the other Knights being War Dogs we knew that we got those words right.  lol  However they went for Stalkers instead.

What do we think?

Pretty fair and looks reasonable to us as a release, from all the ones coming out, this is the one that we think will be popular, especially if the Plastic Chaos Warhound is announced.

Faction: Space Marines

Why?

40K's poster boi's and of course the ones that make them the most revenue, there seems to be a new box for them each year.  However with 11th having just been released and with this being the edition of mobility, I'm going to guess its going to be pretty damn heavy with troops like the Outriders, possibly with a Land Speeder, a Chaplain on Bike etc.  Would definitely make a good addition to anyone's forces who utilises them and for specialist armies like Raven Guard and the White Scars for whom the bikes are iconic additions, would be more than useful especially at the box price savings.  

Whats in the Actual Boxes?

Space Marines: Indomitus Task Force

Captain In Terminator Armour

Chaplain

Redemptor Dreadnought

5 Terminators 

5 Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs

10 Intercessors

The Indomitus Task Force gives you a versatile core to base a Space Marines army around, and includes a little bit of everything Warhammer armies need – shooting, fighting, and durability.

Space Marines: Champions of Fenris:

Logan Grimnar

Arjac Rockfist

15 Wolf Guard Terminators

Unleash Fenris’ finest with a mass of powerful Wolf Guard Terminators, led by the Great Wolf himself and his personal champion. It’s a force as blunt and savage as the Space Wolves themselves, and a terrifying prospect for any enemy.

Blood Angels: Angelus Assault Force

Commander Dante 

Blood Angels Chaplain with Jump Pack

Death Company Brutalis Dreadnought

3 Sanguinary Guard

5 Death Company Marines with Jump Packs

Blood Angels Upgrade Frame

The Blood Angels love a thunderous flight into the thick of the melee, and the Angelus Assault Force gives you units you need to crash down on your foes. All of your infantry hurtle in from above, while the enemy is rightly distracted by a rampaging Brutalis Dreadnought rapidly charging towards them.

How'd we do?

Badly, we knew that we'd get one box of Space Marines but didn't expect three.  With the Orks as one of our guesses we should have thought about the Blood Angels and didn't consider them.  

What do we think?

For us the Indomitus Force feels pretty rounded and if you were to be starting a general Space Marine Army feels like a good starter to build off.

The Champions of Fenris seem OK and is a character built starter it will definitely appeal to newbies who love the Norse Aesthetic and as a mini count its pretty solid, however we are surprised that there wasn't been a unit of Blood Claws within.  

As to the Blood Angels, this box feels pretty damn flat and pretty poor as an offering, this is the box that we think may well be left after the others have sold along with the Greenskins.

Faction: Orks

Why?

Starter faction for 11th Edition, as such years where a force is in the Starter box they tend to get a Christmas box.  I suspect yet again, because its about Mobility that we will see quite a few Orky vehicles included.  Warbikes are going to be a must, probably a Wartrakk and some other bits which we suspect may also include some DeffKopta's.

Whats in the Actual Boxes?

Warboss In Mega Armour

Battlewagon (can alternatively be built as a Gunwagon)

Deff Dread 

3 Meganobz

10 Ork Boyz

Load your Meganobz and Warboss into a Gunwagon and blast them up the field in double-quick time, before unloading everything into your opponent’s face at point-blank range. Build it as a Battlewagon, and you can even fit all 10 of the Boyz in at the same time.

How'd we do?

We knew that the Orks would be here this year, but what we thought would be the aesthetic of as a fast moving force was wrong.    

What do we think?

Definitely falls flat as this is an older miniature box set feeling more designed to get rid of old stock rather than showcasing newer options.  We do feel that the Mega Nobz are going to get a refresh in the future as is the Battlewagon and Deff Dread, although we could be wrong, these are the ones that we think will be done for the second part of 11th Edition.

Factions we Guessed that were completely wrong:

Faction: Imperial Knights

Why?

If you're going to be going up against Chaos Knights, you need some serious firepower of your own.  With it being new this year we're guessing the Knight Destrier will be one of the core components.  We would also guess that the Knight Defender would also be in the box purely for its defence capabilities.  Will definitely be interesting to see what they put in a box to fight against those Chaos Worshipping Enemies of Mankind.

Faction: Adepta Sororitas

Why?

Feels like its been ages since we last had an epic box set for Christmas featuring the sisters, however with 11th being about mobility and speed, this severely limits what they can bring to the table.  Its going to be restricted mainly to things like the Seraphim and Zephyrim.  The only things until they get their releases that would be left are more vehicles like the Castigator.  

Faction: Adeptus Mechanicus

Why?

I suspect that this is going to be the edition we see the Dark Mechanicum emerge from the void, so what better to get ready to face them than a highly mobile force of the Cog Boi's,  Some obvious includes Sulphurhounds or Raiders, Skystalkers or Sterylizers and maybe some Destroyers or Breachers, backup?  Archaeopters.

Warhammer 40K

Faction: Adeptus Mechanicus

Why?

I suspect that this is going to be the edition we see the Dark Mechanicum emerge from the void, so what better to get ready to face them than a highly mobile force of the Cog Boi's,  Some obvious includes Sulphurhounds or Raiders, Skystalkers or Sterylizers and maybe some Destroyers or Breachers, backup?  Archaeopters.

Boxes We didn't Even Guess:

Faction: Chaos Marines

Whats in the Actual Box:

Warpsmith

Defiler

Venomcrawler

2 Obliterators

5 Havocs

3 Mutilators

Heavy weapons and hulking daemon engines are a particular favourite of the Iron Warriors, but you can use this Battleforce to represent any Chaos warband. After all, who in their right mind would turn down a Defiler, especially one flanked by some of the toughest and deadliest infantry this side of the Great Rift?

What do we think?

Feels like a good starter to build upon for any Chaos Force especially if you're also going to add the Chaos Knights to your army.

Faction: Necrons: Disciples of the Nekrosor

Whats in the Box: 

C'tan Shard of the Nightbringer

Nekrosor Ammentar

3 Ophydian Destroyers

Canoptek Doomstalker

10 Necron Warriors

3 Canoptek Scarab Swarms

Nekrosor Ammentar and his collection of Nightbringer C’tan Shards made an incredible mess around Ultramar and now have their sights set on the rest of the galaxy. Two powerful centrepiece miniatures surrounded by some Necrons mainstays is ideal for reclaiming your lost empire.

What do we think?

Another force that is a good starter set if you want to control these mechanical mayhem machinations with as the description says two powerful centrepieces in much the same way the Space Wolves box is.  

Final thoughts?

Having done pretty poorly on our guesses upon carefully looking at them all the ones that we would consider (depending on price as that hasn't been announced yet) were we to be buying any are:

1)  Chaos Knights

2)  Champions of Fenris

3)  Chaos Marines

Reasons:

To be honest we all ready have most of the standard options for a Space Marine force.  The only thing we're currently missing are Terminators and we do plan to order those shortly.  The Blood Angels we feel is a real let down and as such and for us the Champions of Fenris feel like a good purchase if we really wanted to get into the Space Wolves.  At the moment we have too many mini's to paint but those damn Chaos Knights and Marines definitely are tempting for a brand new Army.

The only real unknown now is the price, that will heavily effect whether we can get more than one and even with requesting others for Christmas we feel our 40K stocking is going to be a bit light this year.

All the best,

ThunderMouser

STL NEWS: Sneak Peak at Perilous Frontiers Artic Biome - Dwarven Forge

 

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,

Dwarven Forge have let us have a sneak peak at their Artic Biome that they have coming for their next STL Campaign launching 27th October 2026,  Here's what they had to say:

Snow, Everywhere

"With dunes, banks, and specialty pieces like glaciers and ice floes, there's a shocking amount of variety!

First off, all of the core pieces we shared in the Desert paint scheme from last week are also being done in Arctic, including the dunes. These bread and butter pieces will form any snowy landscape, and the Rock Formations system will let you add elevation just like it does for the Desert. We mentioned an adjustable flight stand system that would let you position minis along sloped surfaces, and you can see it above. It's a tripod-based system with an adjustable leg that lets you adjust the height, and the other legs then securely grip whatever dune you're placing them against!  With any campaign, we get plenty of questions about compatibility, and of course we wanted to ensure you could use as many of your other sets as possible with this collection. The biggest requests we got were for ways to integrate Cities and Mountain terrain. To that end, we've designed snow and sand drifts that nestle against buildings and on roofs, icicles that can be attached to biscuit slots and hung over edges, and a set of Stretch Goal "transition drifts" that let you cleanly integrate our mountain escarpments into the Arctic (as well as the desert). Lastly, the Arctic collection has a number of unique ice sculpts, that fit into three categories: icicles, glaciers, and ice floes. Glaciers are tall chunks of ice of various organic shapes that form great cover and obstacles on a battlefield. They're also sculpted to go with the Ice Walls we've made in the past! Ice floes are flatter, designed to be floating platforms across frigid rivers. The set comes with three of various sizes, and they can nestle against and stack on top of each other to create all sorts of different shapes. And of course, all the ice is translucent, really selling the Arctic aesthetic on the table! That's all for today; with less than two weeks to go, we can't wait to show you everything else we've cooked up for the campaign! Don't forget to follow us before launch to get a free mini added to your pledge! As always, if you have any questions you can reach out to us on social media, or join the conversation on the forums or discord."

LATEST NEWS: The Undead March this Week - Warmachine

 

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,

Warmachine from Steamforged Games, this weeks releases from Tuesday and Wednesday is getting us into the feels this week as the Undead are taking over.  With the Cryx Armada STL's launching yesterday.

Here's what SFG had to say:

"A monstrous new 80mm solo for Dusk Fane of Nyrro dominates today’s releases, plus a reminder of the major army reboxings currently up for pre-order and the imminent launch of Cryx’s new army in STL form. 

Styrge Abhorreth – Bigger, meaner, hungrier

The Styrge Hounds were already dangerous. Give them a few years, a sprawling network of underground catacombs to claim as their own, and absolutely no reason to share, and you get something much worse…Styrge Abhorreth!

As these creatures grow, they leave their packs behind and claim vast stretches of the Fane of Nyrro’s underground territories. Anything unfortunate enough to wander into their domain becomes prey.

But the Fane don’t simply leave these monsters to their own devices. Captured and put to work, each Abhorreth is paired with a dedicated rider from the Fane Knights. Through their bond, these mage riders channel the beast’s fury into fell magic, unleashing its savage power against the enemy while helping protect allies from incoming missiles.

Together, rider and warbeast form a terrifying pair, combining raw strength with dark magic to bring the Abhorreth’s destructive instincts under the Fane’s command.

Released today! Get your Styrge Abhorreth now. 

It’s a great time to get into Cryx

Styrge Abhorreth may be dominating today’s releases, but Cryx are about to swarm the field. 

Not only is the Cryx Dread Armada FronTier launching this Thursday (October 15) — an entire new Prime army for Cryx — but Cryx Necrofactorium have also been given a major refresh.

Releasing October 20, the updated Cryx Necrofactorium sets breathe new life into the undead, reorganising the army into a new Command Set, three army boxes, and light and heavy warjack sets including all their modular options. 

The Command Set includes a ~30-point force for command level games, while each army box includes a ~50-point force designed for skirmish battles. Mix, match, and combine sets to create your own 100-point forces. 

If you’re already collecting Cryx, your existing models are still fully playable. This update is designed to make building a Necrofactorium army more straightforward. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to live your best Cryxian life, now’s the time. 

Not one’s to be left in the dust, Cygnar Storm Legion also have an electrified new range up for pre-order. It’s a great day to start building a Warmachine army!

Cryx Dread Armada launches October 15

…Of course, you could always print your army. We’re talking, of course, about the Cryx Dread Armada FronTier launching this Thursday (October 15)!

This FronTier is your best opportunity to bag a brand new, fully playable Prime army for a major Warmachine faction in STL form at a bundle discount. If you’re thinking the Dread Armada could be the crew for you, make sure you hit that “Get Notified” button. 

The Dread Armada may be new as a playable army, but they’re steeped in Warmachine lore. These pirates have been around for a while and have more than earned their dreadful reputation. Look out for the return of the legendary Pirate Queen herself, Skarre Ravenmane, and formidable Lord Terminus, both included in the FronTier. 

Our channels have been awash with Dread Armada previews, and we’re not done yet. Head to YouTube and dive into a treasure trove of rules and reveals ready for the big launch on Thursday!

New Protectorate of Menoth lore incoming

Cryx may be dominating the high seas but let’s not lose sight of Menoth’s holy light. 

With the launch of this incendiary new army burning hot on the horizon, we’ll uncover the details behind the reemergence of Menoth’s most faithful in The Pilgrimage, Part II. Read it in next Monday’s Loremachine, October 19. 

Missed Part I? Catch up here.
