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

Sadly, our friends at Mantic, have really made us feel old today, with the announcement that there's a 30th Anniverary Edition of the Worms Board Game.  (We have a lot of fond memories of blowing the crap out of the other sides worms not only on the board but also in the Computer Game (just checked the game was out in 95  EEEEEEKKKKKKKK.)  

However we've been lucky, and able to pass this on to you, if you want this anniversary edition (with the reason you want this version, is the upgrades to the standard retail version this edition allows games of up to 6 players, includes more Worm miniatures (all unique sculpts), includes more hilarious weapons, extra multi-hex tiles for larger maps, and even new 3D fire markers) and want to order before the 9th August 2026, you can get 15% off by quoting EARLYBIRD15 at the checkout on their website.  (Well the Early Bird does catch the worms apparently.)

More fab news as we get it from Mantic.

All the best,

LATEST NEWS: Reinforcement Packs are on the way, Short Story Available in the world and upcoming website additions - Malediction

On Friday, Malediction announced a new "incursion" into the game on their You Tube Channel, with what's going to be coming for the four factions over the next six months.  If you haven't caught up yet, the link (You Tube Channel above, will give you all the details in 15 minutes.) 

Now with Reinforcements Packs on their way (August 26) you'll be getting new tools to help deal with your foes as well as furthering the identity of your forces from the others.  Each pack contains fourteen physical cards across seven unique designs, including three units, three spells, and one item.

A redeem code also unlocks six printable STL miniatures representing the three new units. Every card is known in advance, and each pack can be used with every Seeker from its corresponding faction.

Every Reinforcement Pack will also have a matching Standee Pack, sold separately for players who want a fast, table-ready way to field their new units. 

Each Standee Pack includes one punchboard containing six standees and also six plastic bases representing the units from its corresponding expansion.

This time Malediction have a story set in their world, written by George Mann.  To read it please go here.

Finally later this year the play network will continue to evolve around the people using it so that they can find local games in their area as well as keeping up to date as to whats happening.  In addition to this the official Deckbuilder will also become part of that ecosystem, bringing card discovery, warband construction, and shared lists into one place. Every faction and every Reinforcement Pack card will be available there, giving players a clear path from exploring new options to bringing a finished warband to the table.

The Malediction Points system will also evolve into an achievement and threshold structure. Instead of accumulating points toward distant rewards, players will progress through achievements designed to make rewards easier to understand, reach, and claim.

These changes share one purpose: making it easier to find a game, build a warband, organize your gaming group, and return for the next match. 

All the best,

ThunderMouser

NEWS ROUND UP: Weekly Round up 19 July - 25 July 2026 - Various

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

To make sure we carry as much as we can, at the end of each week we have a weekly round up for people to find out about other items that haven't made a main article on the site, here is this weeks...

Our friends at Crippled God Foundry have released a sneaky peak of next months STL releases (August.)  Here's what they had to say:  

"For generations, the people of Raven Hollow have feared the woods beyond their village. Strange mists creep between twisted trees, children vanish in the night, and those who enter the forest rarely return. Whispers tell of an ancient evil hidden deep within the darkness—one that feeds not on flesh, but on fear itself. As nightmares spread through the village, a desperate plea for heroes echoes across the land before all hope is lost.

Next month, descend into the cursed heart of Blackwood Forest and confront Mother Griselda, a terrifying Night Hag surrounded by her monstrous servants. Face bugbears, hobgoblins, Owlbears, Wolves, Raven and Rat Swarms, and the fearsome three-headed chimera Goremaw, while exploring a collection of hag-themed scenery designed to bring this dark fantasy adventure to life!

Bugbear Raiders - 4 Models, Size: M, 32mm base

Hobgoblin Soldiers - 4 models, Size: M, 32mm base

Goremaw, Chimera - Size: H, 75mm base

Mother Griselda, Night Hag - Size: M, 25mm base

Owlbears - 2 models, Size: L, 50mm base

Rat Swarm - Size: S, 25mm base

Raven Swarm - Size: S, 25mm base

Wolf Pack - 5 models, Size: M, 32mm base

Thematic Bases for the miniatures!

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."

More news as we get it

Today, our friends at Dark Fantastic Mills have given a huge update with multiple releases, from the release of the final stretch goals for the Necrosian Death Temple through to the castle wall system as well as some extra love for Jagerholm, here is what had this to say:

"New models from the final wave of Necrosian Death Temple stretch goals are in the shop now.  The Titan Pillars and Mausoleums join last month's releases to add even more options for your death themed tables. I think we're going to need to put together a new battlefield bundle!

Our current stretch goal vote is still going but will close soon, and helps us determine our final stretch goal order!

The Stretch Goals also included the start of a castle wall system for Necrosia.  We feel that this set really needs expanding to allow for all of the options that exist in our other fortress ranges, so keep an eye out for more developments with this.  Hopefully it'll be in the shop before too long...

Necrosia isn't the only range seeing some new castle action - Jagerholm's walls are getting a few new options as well.  A mid-wall tower (with ruined option of course) can be seen here, as well as the start of something new to the right of the picture.  What could that be...

When it comes to the digital bundles for Jagerholm, Necrosia and Trench Zone, this really is your last chance to grab the original Kickstarter sets for one low price (apart from as Add Ons in future campaigns).  Starting from next month we'll be splitting them into themed sets - so for instance, Town Walls, Watch Towers, City Buildings and Ruined City for Jagerholm.  They will also be available on MMF, like Chaos Citadel.

PRE-ORDER MINIATURES: GenCon, Conquest: FIrst Blood, Last Argument of Kings and Special Offer - Para Bellum Games

Honourable Mentions

Finally, because we had such a hard time picking, we wanted to give a couple of honourable mentions to the article, these are Pre-Order Miniatures that didn't quite fit into the two catagories that we just fell in love with because of what they can do and because they look just too beautiful to leave out.  

Oni Kishin Raiu (Dual Kit) (Yoroni) (Released 30th July)

First Blood

Charging into the fray with the fury of a thunderstorm, the Oni Kishin Raiu are devastating shock cavalry. Equipped with impressive back banners, these mounted warriors support your forces while striking the enemy like a lightning bolt.

The Last Argument of Kings

Riding the lightning itself, the Kishin Raiu descend upon their foes, breaking formations and shattering armor in a single devastating charge. As an elite Shock Cavalry Regiment, the Kishin Raiu specialize in smashing highly disciplined infantry formations and crushing even the toughest armored opponents.

Founder’s Exclusive “Kerveros” (Old Dominion)

“A Mounted Strategos is the epitome of this ancient warrior code, a paragon of a bygone age mounted on his ritual companion, whose faded glory and tattered panoply cannot dim the blazing intellect and sheer will that smolder within this faded vessel.”

This three headed monster is a numbered edition of 1099, bringing the Roman Undead “to life” in a completely new three-way. An amazing model for painting and play as a Mounted Strategos.

This was picked purely for the beauty of the sculpt, we can't wait to learn what it does on the battlefield

GENCON 2026

We hope you've enjoyed looking at these as much as we have and if you happen to be at GenCon, if you nip along to booth 3031 you can get to see some of these mini's with your own eyes as well as getting the chance to enjoy learning how to play Conquest: Last Argument of Kings or Conquest 2: First Blood.

First Blood Warband Offer!

Para Bellum Games are offering two First Blood Warbands of your choice for just $124.99 / €109.99 which allows you to build your own perfect Two Player Starter with the factions you really want!  Here is the direct link to the offer on their website for you to use.

All the best,
