NEWS: Shipping Update for Starcraft Tabletop Miniatures Game - Archon Studio's

Our friends over at Archon Studio's have sent us an update for all those who signed up for their Gamefound StarCraft: Tabletop Miniatures Game.

Here's what they had to say:

"Once again, we would like to thank everyone for their patience throughout the shipping process. The number of pre-orders has been incredible (around 300,000 individual boxes!), and we have already shipped a significant portion of them. Based on our previous estimates, we are still aiming to complete shipping from our warehouse this month.


As mentioned in the previous mail update, shipping began on May 25 and was expected to take approximately two months from our warehouse. At this stage, we hope to have all remaining orders dispatched from our warehouse in the first half of this month.

 

We will be handling customs for the following regions:

- EU

- UK

- US

- Canada

- South Korea

- Australia/New Zealand

 

Shipping to all other regions is processed at 0% tax. Please note that in these cases, customers are responsible for any applicable duties or taxes.

 

We previously stated that pre-orders would be prioritized, and this remains the case. Due to the strong support for the game, including from retailers, we have decided to postpone the retail street date by approximately one month to ensure pre-orders remain our priority.


Here is an info-graphic of the current shipping status and updates:

MONTHLY MINIATURES: July 2026: Kurgan Shock Troops: The Red Blizzard - Heroes Infinite

 





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

Our friends at Heroes Infinite, have brought more some mini's this month for those who are obsessed with Warhammer 40K's Imperial Guard: Vostrayans First Born, or for people who love the idea of extra cool options that they can slip in with Konflikt 47's Soviet Blok, or as alternatives/replacements for their wargames/ttrpgs. (Kurgan Shock Troops: The Red Blizzard.)





As usual they are beautifully sculpted with fabulous details there to grab your attention to help make them something pretty special and unique.

With fabulous options from their Bear Riding Troops through to heroes like Kirill, standard bearer and beacon of the fatherland. Alongside cracking miniatures such as Baba Morozova who would also make a fab addition to any fantasy force (such as Kislev in The Old World which we believe is in the works) and of course one of our favourites this month, the Sniper, Karmina Noxx

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)

Each tier is pretty fab and we also wanted to link to their YT vid where you can see the full range for your money.

We hope you'll love these as much as we do.  The biggest problem with these though is how you manage to achieve that opalescent style of painting as seen in the YT presentation video, if we figure it out or find a relevant YT video we'll post it here for you.  


All the best,

NEWS: Wednesday Warmachine Updates and Whats to come - Steamforged Games



Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,

Steamforged Games are bringing some extra good stuff for Warmachine this week, straight after the release for the new Fane of Nyro's  Executioners Toll box.




The Kithguard have always done things their own way. Now, they’re taking that same determination and turning it towards something new: their first generation of warjacks.

Unlike the armies of Western Immoren, the trollkin have no long-standing warcaster tradition or centuries of arcane training to draw from. Instead, these arcanists have been forced to learn through trial, error, and hard-fought experience. Their abilities may be unrefined, but their resolve is anything but.

With no access to a steady supply of warjacks, the Kithguard turned to their own engineers, the Steelbacks, to create something new. Combining salvaged battlefield wreckage, repurposed Cygnaran technology, and trollkin ingenuity, they built the Ramhead, the first ever trollkin warjack.

Massive, unpredictable, and built from whatever parts could be recovered, no two Ramheads are exactly alike. Each machine carries its own history, quirks, and scars from the battles it fought before it ever joined Kithguard.

The Kithguard Journeyman and Ramhead bring a powerful new presence to the battlefield, combining the raw strength of a super heavy with the determination of a new generation of warcasters. 

Coming to pre-order next Tuesday, check out the  rules for free now  in the Warmachine app.  Tomorrow, we’ll be taking a closer look at what these models bring to the fight.




A Knight of the Prophet and defender of the Sancteum during the Infernal War, Constance Blaize knows what it means to stand against impossible odds. Her mission now is one of restoration and cleansing the lands of the scars left by the Infernals.

At her side strides Gallant. Rebuilt after falling in defence of the Sancteum, this mighty warjack carries its history differently now. The prayers that once adorned its hull have been etched directly into its armour, carved into the very metal that shields it from those who would see it destroyed.

Together, Constance and Gallant are a reminder that, even after the darkest battles, some lights refuse to go out.

Get the first look at rules for Constance Blaize and Gallant in our gameplay spotlight releasing this Friday, ready for the pre-order launch next week.

And there’s more for those who walk closest to the flame. If you’re an annual subscriber for the Warmachine app  you’ll get your reward code to claim  your Constance Blaize and Gallant next week.


In addition to this, there is a new article on how the new superheavy Warjack, Bandit (available to pre-order, Tuesday 7th July 2026) changes the way that the Cyngar Gravediggers play.


More updates as we get them,

All the best,


ThunderMouser
