GAMEFOUND CAMPAIGN GOES LIVE TODAY: Caverns Reforged - Dwarven Forge

 

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,

Our friends at Dwarven Forge have let us know about their next Gamefound Project: Caverns Reforged which went live today.  This is what they've had to say:

"First and foremost, we're working some classic floors into the lineup. We'll be bringing back a 4x4 flat floor with plenty of playable space, as well as a 2x2 floor with water spouts on it to create a much more varied cavernscape.

We'll be adding anchor magnets to these pieces, as well as updating their standard paint scheme to match the caverns we've been producing since our Caverns Deep campaign. We also decided to take it one step further; all of the KS2 pieces are also being offered in Ice and Underdoom as well!

Our original Caverns campaign had a system called Narrow Passages; these were great for making tight, winding corridors. They add a lot of new functionality to our modern Passages, so we're reviving them with magnets, updated paint, and a new composition!

 This set will also include the Mine Entrance door, a classic sculpt that adds a structured doorway to the biome. It'll also have an updated version of the curved corner from KS2, which lines up cleanly with the Narrow Passages and adds more variety to our caverns bread and butter.This set will also include the Mine Entrance door, a classic sculpt that adds a structured doorway to the biome.

The original Caverns campaign also had an entirely different lineup of Stalagmites than in Caverns Deep, and we're bringing them back as well! These sculpts (especially the Cascading Stalagmite Cluster) will let you fill your caves with all sorts of different scatter.

We have a few other classic sculpts in the works as well, all available in Standard, Ice, and Underdoom paint. We'll have more to show at launch, but hopefully this preview piqued your interest!"

As stated at the top of this article the project goes live today and with the chance to make a whole heap of chaos for your players whether you're throwing them into caverns or perhaps even the underdark, now is your chance to be able to make it not only thematic but something they'll long remember.

All the best,

KICKSTARTER: Image Backdrop Books from Jon Hodgson - Handiwork Games and Bad Squiddo Games

When you've painted your miniatures, you're always proud and want to show them off, however when it comes to photography, you always want a little something special that will help set the stage to make the photo the best it can be.  To this end, I've bought books by Jon Hodgson before, Sci-Fi Backdrops and Backdrops, which have been a fab way to help get the stage set, which when accompanied by scenics really does give you something special and different that adds so much more to the image making it more believable.

To this end, I was lucky enough to hear from both Annie at Bad Squiddo Games as well as Jon Hodgson from Handiwork Games in regard to their latest kickstarter launching today.  What this gives you is four more books full of illustrations to help you get a whole heap of additional backdrops which will be available in A4 or A3 format.  

Here's what the kickstarter has to say in regard to the contents:

More Fantasy brings you 32 new Fantasy Backdrops!

Horror and Hellscapes brings you 32 gothic and creepy Backdrops!

Sci-fi Cityscapes takes you into the heart of the hive with 32 new urban sci-fi Backdrops!

Robot Future brings you 32 backdrops perfect for your robot models!

We hope that you will join us in supporting these fab people.

All the best,

NEWS: Fantasy MDF buildings coming on 22nd May 2026 - Warbases

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

If there's one thing wargamers need a lot of (as well as TTRPG players, its scenery whether its rocks and tree's or buildings, however the problem has always been around the same sticking points, the cost, how much you can afford and of course how sturdy they are for durability.  So whilst previously you've been stuck with either cardboard or resin/plastic its been pretty hard to figure out where to go.  Thats where companies like Warbases step in.

Bringing a fab range of houses to the wargame market (10mm to 28mm) you can get anything from medieval themed buildings right up to the modern WW2 buildings however one range that they didn't really have was fantasy themed, so in a recent announcement they are bringing their Fallowmere buildings to the market on the 22nd May.  (Available from their shop as well as at UKGE on their stall 2-494)  More than shown are available so please check out their shop.

In addition to all this, you can pick up movement trays (listed by Game), Accessories (like Dice, magnets, basing materials) alongside some fab miniatures.

We hope this helps,

CAMPAIGN UPDATE: Gamefound Campaigh: Death and Beyond - Archvillain Games

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,

ArchVillain Games gave a quick update to do with their Gamefound Campaign Death and Beyond, which launched on the 12th May.

Here's what they had to say:  

"You asked and we listened.  After many requests from the community, we’re extending the Early Bird window until Tuesday May 19th.  If you missed the first window, this is your chance to still claim these before they disappear for good:

• Soulshard Foilcore d20

• Risen Tyrant Physical Miniature

• Deluxe Foil GM Screen

Once Tuesday arrives, these Early Bird rewards vanish permanently."

Once again we wanted to keep you in the loop that fabulous miniature painter, Angel Giraldez has a cracking tutorial on how to paint ghost effects on the Unburied King: The Emperor Titan and will hopefully be adding more soon:

All the best,

EVENT UPDATE: Lock and Load's Forthcoming Presentation for Warmachine - Steamforged Games

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,

Those at Steamforged Games live Warmachine event, Lock and Load, (which started yesterday and runs through to tomorrow in Sheffield, UK (Magna Science Adventure Centre, Magna Way, Templeborough, S60 1FD) were treated to a preview of what is going to be rolling into the Iron Kingdom next.  

With the blades hiding behind their backs at the Fane, the new protection of the army has burst forward from beneath Eversael for viewers to bask in their glory as the Dusks new Army.  Pictured here, this new army has everything a player could want with deliciously dark desires alongside brute power to lead them to victory.  

Following hard on their tracks to hunt them down, General Gunnbjorn from the Southern Kriel Kithguard, leads the way as their most experienced soldier ready to blow his way through all who stand before his realms might.  A mighty warmachine indeed.

Yet what can others wield to help contain that might, well if you're a Khymaera Shadoflame Shard player, this mighty beasty will do the job nicely.  The Shadow Seraph, is Saeryn’s latest creation, an 80mm base super heavy warbeast, and it marks a bold new step.  The Shadow Seraph is Saeryn’s statement of intent for the future of Khymaera’s approach to conflict. Where Rhyas’ creations have survived mostly through stealth, subterfuge, and hit & run tactics, Saeryn’s creation is a vanguard warbeast intended to challenge their opponents head-on.  In other words, it’s time for Khymaera to stop hiding in the shadows and start making your foes regret discovering your precious cradle.

Finally a delightfully mischievous creature stirs from deep within the Southern Kriels Brinebloods, Ol Scuttlebutt himself who not only brings everything with him but carries a lighthouse with crew to the fore against all who would dare to face him.

Now if like us you enjoy a cracking presentation straight into your cortex and you sadly weren't able to attend the event, here Warmachine has brought the firepower with this epic You Tube release.  Please enjoy however be aware it does run for 41 minutes.

All the best,

ThunderMouser

KICKSTARTER: Cyberpunk TCG - Weird Co.

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

As you've come to expect we love to dip our fingers into future games where we can and on that ha grabbed our attention is the forthcoming Cyberpunk TCG which has already raised over $28K, for its kickstarter.

Still open for pledges, there are various pledge levels and free alpha decks for you to download, print and play whilst you wait for fulfilment of the pledge you go for.  What we love about this is that is plays on from the delightful Cyberpunk 2077 with beautiful artwork, cracking play system and of course the options for modifications (both with the cards and your characters) that expand more on the lore than the game actually did.

Its a cracking offering and whilst fulfillment is expected to start in the third quarter of 2026 its something you've still got time to get on board with.  Add to this a knowledgeable Discord with friendly people to talk with about the game and stores where they will be playing it to give you tasters and all round its something that we can't wait to see how it develops.

All the best,

ThunderMouser
