NEWS: WARMACHINE: What's Next for the Fane of Nyro - Steamforged Games

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,

Steamforged Games given an early leak on whats next for Warmachine, the Fane of Nyro after the Command Squad is released next week.  Whilst we can't bring every single detail to you, we really want to give you the pics and story behind the mini's to get your taste buds salavating for these undead elves...

Ashmael, Keeper of Whispers, is a master of espionage; a network he’s weaved for centuries and a craft he’s all but perfected. His very presence makes those around him uneasy, making opponents second guess themselves before he pivots into an advantageous position. 

To see all the stats, skills and of course feats for all the units mentioned below, please go to this page to be able to see it all.

Other featured units for the Fane of Nyro include:

The Klyvenesh who strike from the shadows before melting back into the darkness. Incredibly versatile and mobile, capable of assassinating any target, they can Shadow Shift better than any of their Fane brethren. 

Take care, though: this expensive unit can be left dangerously exposed when Shift targets run out.

Fane Stalkers -  A powerful support tool for any Fane of Nyrro army. Send your feasting warbeasts deeper into enemy lines, torment opponents from afar, push them out of your territory…the Fane Stalkers do it all. 

Blood Sirens - A unique unit, designed for disruption. The Blood Sirens can leverage their potent Ancient Shroud to force their way into enemy lines, then send those enemies wandering to their deaths. 

Sythyss Overseer - Though little regard is given to the lower ranks of the Fane of Nyrro, they do serve their purpose.

Jylvana, the Tormented - Last, but by absolutely no means least, Jylvana can often be found accompanying Fane warlocks to the battlefield…4-6” behind them.

All the best,

ThunderMouser

NEWS: Pirate Borg additions preparing to set sail - Limithron, Westfalia Miniatures

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

There are times when the news rains hard and times when its pretty damn dry, but today we have a plethora of updates tied to Pirate Borg from Limithron, who having recently returned successfully from their mission to raid UKGE 2026, have raised the sails and hoisted their flags for their next exciting adventure for this year.

With booty aplunder and previews of From the Depths Below, (the skirmish game from Will RD and Alexander (Ravaged by Storms) which is compatible with Pirate Borg.  (Coming to Kickstarter soon (7th Jul 2026.)

Yet as the crew were away, a few things were happening at home base, with the lead item being the free RPG day adventure on 27th June 2026 (or as a sneaky item for those attending Origins Game Fair next week,) Terror of Tortuga, where in a sandbox environment you work with famed figures Anne Bonney or Calico Jack, to take out the Ghoul Lord who has devoured and enslaved many a good scallywag. 

 

The zine comes with quickstart rules, so folks can dive right in, and it’s 100% free at participating game shops. Seriously, don’t get fooled into paying for it.

Patreon

Over on their Patreon Limithron, have been releasing previews of their new Encounter Atlas, Pirate Borg book, where those who sail the sea's, can have random encounters, descriptive tables and of course a whole heap of treasured tidbits that reference their battlemaps to make it something epic.

Round Up

Finally to tie everything up, if you're a fan of miniatures and having a fab board to play on the whole thing is set up to work together as a conglomerate under the Pirate King/Queen (yet to be announced as they're all still arguing who should get the nicest hat LOL) with fabulous miniatures designed by our friends at Westfalia (who have also designed miniatures for Trench Crusade (a prime example being the Communicants who I've fallen in love with.) which is also launching on Kickstarter soon.

NEW TTRPG with TCG: MALEDICTION - Loot Studios and New Game Plus

We love to keep an eye out on all sorts of things TTRPG, and one of the games that has grabbed our attention is Malediction, a game made in association with Loot Studios, where you get STL files for home printing and cards where you can boost your army up to take out your opponent, apparently its "easy to learn but hard to master" but the whole concept of being able to pick up cards and create something unique means no two battles will ever be the same due to constant development and a good dose of luck can turn the game on its head.

Where you can find Live Game Play

If this sounds like your sort of game and you're curious about it, the next stop for them demonstrating it is going to be GenCon where they will also have not only learn to play but 1v1 and 2v2 competitive play, so if you think your deck is ready bring it to the table.

For those not going to GenCon, Max Driemer, at the Stallstraegen Club in Telgte, Germany,(One of the True Heralds for Malediction) has regular game nights with Demon Stables and free to play events now working hard on bringing the first tournament to the schedule having grown the player base of around 12 people to monthly painting and hobby challenges.  

Finally on live game play, if you're nowhere near either, you can join Iron Andy Studio's on Twitch on the 14th June for a learn to play live stream

Malediction Lore Additions

In addition to this, new lore has been added to the setting for Avakra’s Dusk as well as The Oerikan who you can read about at their relative links (click on the names for this.)

We hope to bring you more on this as we learn alongside you,

All the best,

ThunderMouser

Crippled God Foundry have asked us to let you know more about the new release of The Dread Torch.  Here's what they had to say...

We always wanted to create our own tabletop game that will be fun and easy to play.  Along with the miniatures, terrain and props we have created all these years, we want to bring everything together into our own unique fantasy universe and lore.

Our love for dungeon Crawl games inspired us to create the Dread Torch Dungeon Crawl Game System!

We have been working on Dread Torch for some time and we are happy to bring you an early version of this game!

Dread Torch is a fast-paced dungeon crawling game designed for:

🎲 Solo play

🎲 Cooperative play

🎲 Fast setup and brutal gameplay

🎲 Old-school dark fantasy atmosphere

Heroes descend into forgotten crypts, cursed halls, ancient ruins, and monster-infested dungeons searching for gold, relics, and survival itself.

But the deeper you go… the darker the dungeon becomes.

At the center of the game is the Torch mechanic — a shared resource representing light, hope, and time itself.  As the Torch fades, the dungeon grows more dangerous!

Core Rules ae available here.

We created a new Welcome Pack that will serve as a “starter bundle” to play your first Dread Torch adventures!

In addition to the Core Rules and the Weeping Crypt introductory scenario, you will also find miniatures, dungeon props and 3D printable Tokens and character sheets for an immersive gaming exprience!  (Editor - Whilst not available as physical media directly from CGF on their website, in the future this will hopefully be an option.)

 

Steamforged Games, have sent out a special mail in regard to some forthcoming releases.  Here's what they had to say:

We couldn’t keep the Final Hunt at bay any longer. This vengeful Dusk cadre are just dying to get back into the fray alongside Fane of Nyrro, and who are we to stand in their way? 

From today, the Final Hunt cadre return to Dusk Fane of Nyrro, fuelled by new rules befitting their eldritch alliance that are free to download in the Warmachine app (along with all the rest of the rules for Warmachine). 

We know you’ll have questions, so we grabbed Fraser McFetridge of the Warmachine dev team to share all the gory details: 

We do review the win rates and play rates of models as shown on Longshanks. However, this is only one aspect of data we review to inform changes. 

The Warmachine team remains committed to regularly playing games at clubs, events, and on our own kitchen tables. Between our own experiences, the incredibly valuable feedback of our playtesters, and available public data, we strive to be as well-equipped as possible to make judgement calls for the good of Warmachine.
