MONTHLY MINIATURES: Blood Tribes: Furiann Raiders - Heroes Infinite

 



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

This month Heroes Infinite returns to the Blood Tribes with their themed Furiann Raiders, as usual with the releases from this company, they are beautifully designed, are wonderful options to put into various warbands as alternate options such as heroes or standard troops and if you're like me and love having units of female fighters (although there are a fair few male options too), then you're in for a real treat. Likewise they'll fit in nicely with any number of TTRPG's if you're doing live maps on the table for your players. Stay tuned at the end of the article as we're going to mention the paints that we love to do blood. We are not advertising and have not been sponsored for any of this, its just that at times, we all have problems that need a good fix.


OK, so you're looking for something pretty epic for a battle on the tabletop with a giant creature, how about the blood covered Maugrog the crusher? A giant miniature who is a centrepiece for this release, he will look delightfully dark for your players, will be questioning exactly what this character brings to the fore and of course will be a battle that will be remembered for quite some time especially when you place this in front of them.





In addition to this we have delightfully dark female miniatures that will fullfill anything from a dark mythological theme through to a provocative and youthful Baba Yaga. For that you really want to utilise Morakka, The Mother of the Blooded. She looks fab with the horns, bloodied ceremonial furs and of course is going to make a cracking villain or principle character for your players or as a cracking principle magician for a dark force on the tabletop.




Finally, before we remind you of the various tiers and costs, we wanted to draw your attention toother STL's within the pack. Not only do you have the delightful miniatures that you can see in Heroes Infinites video at the top of this post, are great bases, which whilst designed for this range, would make great alternate bases for any number of miniatures and of course brings to the table, a huge range of scenery that would really help set the 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.

As usual 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.
BONUS: Get special discounts up to 71% off past collections (until end of month)


We hope you'll love these as much as we do.  The paint scheme we think is pretty cool and has definitely given us some idea's for something a little different for some of our own troops.  Can't wait to see what others do with them.  


As promised, these are the two blood options that we use when painting our miniatures, a fresh blood effect and a dry blood effect.  Army Painter has this to say about them:
The Warpaints Fanatic Effects paints make adding effects to your miniatures easy and fun, taking your project to the next level.

Specialist tools for theme and narrative, Warpaints Fanatic Effects range from high gloss to ultra-matt, textured to radiating! Warpaint Fanatic Effects also work great when weathering or basing your miniatures!  Use the Warpaints Fanatic Effects range to add gory elements, realistic rust, or a simple glow to a lens, power weapon, or magical conjuring!

As previously stated, we are not been sponsored by anyone mentioned in this post, its just things that we love and in the case of the Army Painter Blood Effect paints, are ones that we've purchased with our own money and love the effects that they have given us on our miniatures.


All the best,


ThunderMouser

NEWS: US Resistance spotted at Warlord Games HQ and Last Chance to buy some of the older Resin Kits - Warlord Games




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

Warlord Games HQ seems to have been a little quiet since the Games Day that they held a week or so ago so when we saw a brand new post about someones project for Invasion Amerika, we couldn't wait to see what awaited us.  Here is is in their own words, incidentally biscuits for HQ may be on hold but I'm holding out for a packet of Bourbons:  


US Resistance spotted at Warlord Games HQ

"We recently spotted Marketing’s Steff trying to sneak into the office via the back entrance, clutching a figure case. This seemed suspicious, so we apprehended her and took a look. Wouldn’t you know it, she’s gone and painted another K47 army, without telling anyone! Failure to disclose a cool hobby project is a serious offence which would usually incur a fine of many, many packets of biscuits, but we let her off with a warning when she agreed to tell us all about it…

To read all about it please go here.



Last chance to buy Konflikt 47 Resin Kits:

With so many new plastic kits arriving for Konflikt ‘47, some of our older resin and metal kits will shortly be replaced by plastic versions.

As this happens, the old kits will go into a well-earned retirement, so this is your last chance to buy these kits if you want to complete your collection.

Of course, these models and their unit profiles will still be fully supported by the online army lists and in the app, so you'll be able to keep using them for years to come - it's just time to update their models!

If you want to grab a few before they go to that big battlefield in the sky, purchase from Warlord Games directly here.


All the best,

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

Later she summons Stix and introduces him to the ‘Borealis Team’ a three Cheshire Replicant team who are all clones of the original Aurora Team who served with Stix on Kalanthia. He is ordered to lead them on a mission to hunt down and kill Madame Nomura.

Meanwhile, Mead, still believing that Stix is the killer of Sayo, Nomura’s daughter, steals his Cheshire ID card and breaks into Cheshire HQ in search of evidence and witnesses the brutal mass assassination of the Yakuza sub-bosses by a second Cheshire Replicant kill team lead by Lerna, who is linked to Alura via one of the two surviving Aurora Yokes.

LATEST NEWS: Warmachine Wednesday: Autumn Preview and other News - Steamforged Games




Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,

Steamforged Games streamed last night featuring the Autumn releases for Warmachine with the reveal of two armies, one that is going to be STL's for 3d Printers (Cryx Dread Armada) and the other, the Protectorate of Menoth's Covenant of the Flame.  There's so much we can't wait to bring it all to you in their own words:


Salvation has arrived

If you missed last night’s Autumn Preview, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered.

We went big. Really big.

We unveiled two brand-new armies coming to Warmachine —  the Protectorate of Menoth’s Covenant of the Flame and Cryx’s Dread Armada.

From new models and army boxes to rules, playstyles and plenty of surprises, there was a lot to take in. If you weren’t able to join us live, you can catch up with the full stream above and discover everything we revealed. Even one or two sneak peeks we didn’t plan on.

Answer the Lawgiver’s call

The Protectorate of Menoth has returned to the Iron Kingdoms, and with it comes a brand-new Prime army —  Covenant of the Flame.

Led by Feora and built around a mix of classic Protectorate warjacks and fiery new forces, Covenant of the Flame brings the unmistakable look and feel of Menoth into the current edition of Warmachine. The full Autumn Preview revealed four boxed sets, including the Defenders of the Flame Command Set, along with the rules and playstyle that make this new army tick.

Want to answer the Lawgiver’s call in one go?

The Protectorate of Menoth Army Bundle brings together the full Covenant of the Flame collection, including Defenders of the Flame, Scourge of the Unbeliever, Bastions of Faith, and Heralds of Perdition. As well as both a light Revenger and heavy Crusader warjack box.

It also includes exclusive Classic Edition Menoth’s Four Gifts cards and a free set of Heavy and Light Warjack options, giving you plenty of ways to build out your forces.

The Dread Armada is coming ashore

Menoth aren’t the only ones making a comeback.

We also took a closer look at Cryx’s Dread Armada, the second brand-new army revealed during the Autumn Preview.

There’s plenty more to discover about the Dread Armada in the full Autumn Preview, so if you missed the stream, now’s a good time to find out exactly what Cryx has been keeping below deck.

Three new threats

While Tuesday night may have stolen the spotlight, plenty was happening earlier in the day too. Here’s a quick look at what and who else has arrived.

Court of Shadows — The Court is now in session

The Court has assembled, and Auricant Vorsalys demands your presence.

Court of Shadows is now available, bringing the ancient ruler of the Fane of Nyrro and his inner circle to the tabletop. If you missed the reveal, catch up with the full stream for a closer look at Vorsalys, everything inside the box and how the Court plays on the battlefield.

Don’t keep the Court waiting.

Drago, the Beast Unchained — Someone left the cage open

Vladimir Tzepesci’s most loyal warjack has been transformed by the primal fires of Urcaen and sorcerous cunning into a super-heavy abomination built for one thing —  hitting things very, very hard and often.

The chains are off, and Drago, the Beast Unchained, is available now. Catch up with the full reveal here.

Meat Thresher — Farrow engineering strikes again

What do you get when the Thornfall Alliance combines salvaged technology, questionable engineering and absolutely no concern for safety?

The Meat Thresher.

This enormous armoured assault vehicle rolls straight through enemy formations, carving a path with its bladed drum while keeping the bullets flying. It’s crude, it’s brutal, and it really shouldn’t work as well as it does.

The Meat Thresher is available now from the Warmachine store, or grab the STL through Warmachine 3D and print your own questionable feat of Farrow engineering at home.


Upcoming Warmachne Events:

There are tons of excellent events coming up around the world for Warmachine, and you can find them on Longshanks
