With the recent loss of one of our (TM's) childhood heroes and Action Hero star, our friends at Crippled God Foundry, have asked us to let you know that they've brought out their tribute to Chuck Norris.  Free through their website where they had this to say:

Chuck Norris has inspired us through his films and iconic characters.

This miniature is our tribute to a legendary warrior, a remarkable man, and a true artist.

 

Chuck Norris — The legend lives on! 
 

As you can see its beautifully sculpted, looks fab and of course we can't wait to see the painted up versions that people will do, add some real Karate to your campaign and remember, that Tarasque isn't all that, after all when he (CN) lands in your world, those monsters will be checking under their beds to make sure he isn't there.  

All the best,

KICKSTARTER (In more ways than one): Dreadball All-Stars - Mantic Games

Hail Mighty Rollers of the Dice Gods,

Our friends at Mantic Games have let us know about their brand new kickstarter which went live last night and runs through to 11pm on Thursday 9th April 2026.  Beware, get your coaches hats ready, prepare for epic Orksomeness (well we are Juggernauts Fans) as Saturday Nights will never be the same again.

Designed by Blood Bowl creator Jervis Johnson, veteran games designer Alessio Cavatore, and acclaimed artist Stefan Kopinski, Dreadball All Stars will give you sixty minutes of non stop carnage as mega‑corporations bankroll brutal entertainment for the masses.

“All Stars is like a full-contact version of NBA Basketball, with lots of opportunities to score, and just as many opportunities to flatten the opposition!”

- Designer, Jervis Johnson.

Which to be honest is our way of thinking.  We're not much into the scoring aspect but hey, if the other team is incapacitated already, you may as well get a point or two.  lol

Each game is played in one of four unique arena's (our favourite is the Battle Royale) where your six players seek to gain the adoration of the crowds by scoring and maiming as legendary players, each build their career, as you learn to master their quirks, their skills and tactical advantages.

Sign up now to avoid disappointment as its already hit its goal and charging headlong to the launch date, ready to roll.  With various pledge price points, that'll grab your attention and our personal favourite of the All in Upgrade (which is there at £199) it'll have you with everything available and ready to roll for a good nights krumpin. Lets get it on.

All the best,

ThunderMouser.
