STL NEWS: Sneak Peak at Perilous Frontiers Artic Biome - Dwarven Forge

 

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,

Dwarven Forge have let us have a sneak peak at their Artic Biome that they have coming for their next STL Campaign launching 27th October 2026,  Here's what they had to say:

Snow, Everywhere




"With dunes, banks, and specialty pieces like glaciers and ice floes, there's a shocking amount of variety!




First off, all of the core pieces we shared in the Desert paint scheme from last week are also being done in Arctic, including the dunes. These bread and butter pieces will form any snowy landscape, and the Rock Formations system will let you add elevation just like it does for the Desert.

We mentioned an adjustable flight stand system that would let you position minis along sloped surfaces, and you can see it above. It's a tripod-based system with an adjustable leg that lets you adjust the height, and the other legs then securely grip whatever dune you're placing them against! 





With any campaign, we get plenty of questions about compatibility, and of course we wanted to ensure you could use as many of your other sets as possible with this collection. The biggest requests we got were for ways to integrate Cities and Mountain terrain.

To that end, we've designed snow and sand drifts that nestle against buildings and on roofs, icicles that can be attached to biscuit slots and hung over edges, and a set of Stretch Goal "transition drifts" that let you cleanly integrate our mountain escarpments into the Arctic (as well as the desert).





Lastly, the Arctic collection has a number of unique ice sculpts, that fit into three categories: icicles, glaciers, and ice floes. Glaciers are tall chunks of ice of various organic shapes that form great cover and obstacles on a battlefield. They're also sculpted to go with the Ice Walls we've made in the past!

Ice floes are flatter, designed to be floating platforms across frigid rivers. The set comes with three of various sizes, and they can nestle against and stack on top of each other to create all sorts of different shapes. And of course, all the ice is translucent, really selling the Arctic aesthetic on the table!





That's all for today; with less than two weeks to go, we can't wait to show you everything else we've cooked up for the campaign! Don't forget to follow us before launch to get a free mini added to your pledge!

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."

LATEST NEWS: The Undead March this Week - Warmachine

 



Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,

Warmachine from Steamforged Games, this weeks releases from Tuesday and Wednesday is getting us into the feels this week as the Undead are taking over.  With the Cryx Armada STL's launching yesterday.

Here's what SFG had to say:

"A monstrous new 80mm solo for Dusk Fane of Nyrro dominates today’s releases, plus a reminder of the major army reboxings currently up for pre-order and the imminent launch of Cryx’s new army in STL form. 

Styrge Abhorreth – Bigger, meaner, hungrier

The Styrge Hounds were already dangerous. Give them a few years, a sprawling network of underground catacombs to claim as their own, and absolutely no reason to share, and you get something much worse…Styrge Abhorreth!

As these creatures grow, they leave their packs behind and claim vast stretches of the Fane of Nyrro’s underground territories. Anything unfortunate enough to wander into their domain becomes prey.

But the Fane don’t simply leave these monsters to their own devices. Captured and put to work, each Abhorreth is paired with a dedicated rider from the Fane Knights. Through their bond, these mage riders channel the beast’s fury into fell magic, unleashing its savage power against the enemy while helping protect allies from incoming missiles.

Together, rider and warbeast form a terrifying pair, combining raw strength with dark magic to bring the Abhorreth’s destructive instincts under the Fane’s command.

Released today! Get your Styrge Abhorreth now. 

It’s a great time to get into Cryx

Styrge Abhorreth may be dominating today’s releases, but Cryx are about to swarm the field. 

Not only is the Cryx Dread Armada FronTier launching this Thursday (October 15) — an entire new Prime army for Cryx — but Cryx Necrofactorium have also been given a major refresh.

Releasing October 20, the updated Cryx Necrofactorium sets breathe new life into the undead, reorganising the army into a new Command Set, three army boxes, and light and heavy warjack sets including all their modular options. 

The Command Set includes a ~30-point force for command level games, while each army box includes a ~50-point force designed for skirmish battles. Mix, match, and combine sets to create your own 100-point forces. 

If you’re already collecting Cryx, your existing models are still fully playable. This update is designed to make building a Necrofactorium army more straightforward. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to live your best Cryxian life, now’s the time. 

Not one’s to be left in the dust, Cygnar Storm Legion also have an electrified new range up for pre-order. It’s a great day to start building a Warmachine army!

Cryx Dread Armada launches October 15

…Of course, you could always print your army. We’re talking, of course, about the Cryx Dread Armada FronTier launching this Thursday (October 15)!



This FronTier is your best opportunity to bag a brand new, fully playable Prime army for a major Warmachine faction in STL form at a bundle discount. If you’re thinking the Dread Armada could be the crew for you, make sure you hit that “Get Notified” button. 

The Dread Armada may be new as a playable army, but they’re steeped in Warmachine lore. These pirates have been around for a while and have more than earned their dreadful reputation. Look out for the return of the legendary Pirate Queen herself, Skarre Ravenmane, and formidable Lord Terminus, both included in the FronTier. 

Our channels have been awash with Dread Armada previews, and we’re not done yet. Head to YouTube and dive into a treasure trove of rules and reveals ready for the big launch on Thursday!


New Protectorate of Menoth lore incoming



Cryx may be dominating the high seas but let’s not lose sight of Menoth’s holy light. 

With the launch of this incendiary new army burning hot on the horizon, we’ll uncover the details behind the reemergence of Menoth’s most faithful in The Pilgrimage, Part II. Read it in next Monday’s Loremachine, October 19. 

Missed Part I? Catch up here. 


Upcoming Warmachne Events:

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

Just head to the dedicated Warmachine events page and filter by location to see what’s on near you.

NEWS: Port Haven Update - Archon Studio


Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks,
If like us you backed Port Haven, we have had an update from Archon Studio in regard to the fulfilment of the project.  Here's what they had to say on the matter:


Greetings, Adventurers!

We have another report ready - as of today:

- 1006 pledges have been shipped
- 6611 pledges are left

Shipping restarted last week, but we still haven't achieved full shipping capacity due to some issues with the programs we're using. Shipping should speed up as more time goes on!

Porthaven PDF Tax Issues

We're aware of an issue affecting a number of users after the PDF content was added to their pledges. Backers in Romania and some in the USA have had their pledges opened due to tax changes from when they first made their pledge - making any changes to a pledge on Gamefound's platform causes a recalculation of any taxes. We're currently working on a solution, and we should have more information in the next update.

Thank you for reading!

BACKERKIT LIVE: Rangers of a Broken World - Evil Hat Productions

 


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

Having launched yesterday, we just had to remind people of this Backerkit being published under the Evil Hat Productions banner.  

A roleplay game on its own, here's more information in regard to it in their own words:

The scars of war run deep. Noble Demons, Horrors, and Automata stalk the land. You are a Ranger, divinely appointed to protect the isolated pockets of humanity which remain.


Channel the power of your Deilith.  Scatter your essence into the world to work magic, weaving together Signature Spell Notes from your past and from the land around you.



Inspired by Final Fantasy X, the Xenoblade Chronicles, Magic Knight Rayearth, and more, Rangers of a Broken World is a refreshing new tabletop roleplaying game by designer Leon Richardson.

The rules are built for streamlined and inventive play: Choose which facet your Ranger is employing, specify a skill, mark off part of your character's Key (or don't!) and roll the dice. Each 5 or 6 you roll is a success.

Magic is similarly flexible, inviting you to invoke your own Personal Spell Notes and harmonize them with notes found in the world around you to build powerful eldritch chords.

The vibe is post-apocalyptic fantasy, but you are not fragile scavengers tentatively probing the cruel wastes.

You play fully realized heroes: blessed, wounded, flawed, and dedicated to powering through desperate times. This is a game where the choices you make matter more than which items you carry in your backpack.

The Cataclysm broke the world. The people look to their Rangers.

Join us. And usher in the Age of Hope and Song.

And remember: As soon as you back the project, you get immediate access to the full, text-only draft of the game along with the Rangers of a Broken World Roll20 Quickstart module. Back the game today, play it tonight!

Not ready to commit? Download the free 33-page preview we've posted at DriveThruRPG."
