NEWS ROUND UP: Weekly Round up 19 July - 25 July 2026 - Various

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

To make sure we carry as much as we can, at the end of each week we have a weekly round up for people to find out about other items that haven't made a main article on the site, here is this weeks...

Our friends at Crippled God Foundry have released a sneaky peak of next months STL releases (August.)  Here's what they had to say:  

"For generations, the people of Raven Hollow have feared the woods beyond their village. Strange mists creep between twisted trees, children vanish in the night, and those who enter the forest rarely return. Whispers tell of an ancient evil hidden deep within the darkness—one that feeds not on flesh, but on fear itself. As nightmares spread through the village, a desperate plea for heroes echoes across the land before all hope is lost.

Next month, descend into the cursed heart of Blackwood Forest and confront Mother Griselda, a terrifying Night Hag surrounded by her monstrous servants. Face bugbears, hobgoblins, Owlbears, Wolves, Raven and Rat Swarms, and the fearsome three-headed chimera Goremaw, while exploring a collection of hag-themed scenery designed to bring this dark fantasy adventure to life!

Bugbear Raiders - 4 Models, Size: M, 32mm base

Hobgoblin Soldiers - 4 models, Size: M, 32mm base

Goremaw, Chimera - Size: H, 75mm base

Mother Griselda, Night Hag - Size: M, 25mm base

Owlbears - 2 models, Size: L, 50mm base

Rat Swarm - Size: S, 25mm base

Raven Swarm - Size: S, 25mm base

Wolf Pack - 5 models, Size: M, 32mm base

Thematic Bases for the miniatures!

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."

More news as we get it

Today, our friends at Dark Fantastic Mills have given a huge update with multiple releases, from the release of the final stretch goals for the Necrosian Death Temple through to the castle wall system as well as some extra love for Jagerholm, here is what had this to say:

"New models from the final wave of Necrosian Death Temple stretch goals are in the shop now.  The Titan Pillars and Mausoleums join last month's releases to add even more options for your death themed tables. I think we're going to need to put together a new battlefield bundle!

Our current stretch goal vote is still going but will close soon, and helps us determine our final stretch goal order!

The Stretch Goals also included the start of a castle wall system for Necrosia.  We feel that this set really needs expanding to allow for all of the options that exist in our other fortress ranges, so keep an eye out for more developments with this.  Hopefully it'll be in the shop before too long...

Necrosia isn't the only range seeing some new castle action - Jagerholm's walls are getting a few new options as well.  A mid-wall tower (with ruined option of course) can be seen here, as well as the start of something new to the right of the picture.  What could that be...

When it comes to the digital bundles for Jagerholm, Necrosia and Trench Zone, this really is your last chance to grab the original Kickstarter sets for one low price (apart from as Add Ons in future campaigns).  Starting from next month we'll be splitting them into themed sets - so for instance, Town Walls, Watch Towers, City Buildings and Ruined City for Jagerholm.  They will also be available on MMF, like Chaos Citadel.

PRE-ORDER MINIATURES: GenCon, Conquest: FIrst Blood, Last Argument of Kings and Special Offer - Para Bellum Games

We tend to keep an eye on a lot of our favourite miniature producers and this time Para Bellum Games have a huge amount of new Pre-orders that are going to be released on the 28th August (apart from the Oni Kishin which are released on 30th July), so we thought we'd go through our favourites for the new Reinforcement Sets alongside our top key picks for the heroes that they mentioned last week in their Legends of Ea who will be available individually for the first time.

Honourable Mentions

Finally, because we had such a hard time picking, we wanted to give a couple of honourable mentions to the article, these are Pre-Order Miniatures that didn't quite fit into the two catagories that we just fell in love with because of what they can do and because they look just too beautiful to leave out.  

Oni Kishin Raiu (Dual Kit) (Yoroni) (Released 30th July)

First Blood

Charging into the fray with the fury of a thunderstorm, the Oni Kishin Raiu are devastating shock cavalry. Equipped with impressive back banners, these mounted warriors support your forces while striking the enemy like a lightning bolt.

The Last Argument of Kings

Riding the lightning itself, the Kishin Raiu descend upon their foes, breaking formations and shattering armor in a single devastating charge. As an elite Shock Cavalry Regiment, the Kishin Raiu specialize in smashing highly disciplined infantry formations and crushing even the toughest armored opponents.

Founder’s Exclusive “Kerveros” (Old Dominion)

“A Mounted Strategos is the epitome of this ancient warrior code, a paragon of a bygone age mounted on his ritual companion, whose faded glory and tattered panoply cannot dim the blazing intellect and sheer will that smolder within this faded vessel.”

This three headed monster is a numbered edition of 1099, bringing the Roman Undead “to life” in a completely new three-way. An amazing model for painting and play as a Mounted Strategos.

This was picked purely for the beauty of the sculpt, we can't wait to learn what it does on the battlefield

GENCON 2026

We hope you've enjoyed looking at these as much as we have and if you happen to be at GenCon, if you nip along to booth 3031 you can get to see some of these mini's with your own eyes as well as getting the chance to enjoy learning how to play Conquest: Last Argument of Kings or Conquest 2: First Blood.

First Blood Warband Offer!

Para Bellum Games are offering two First Blood Warbands of your choice for just $124.99 / €109.99 which allows you to build your own perfect Two Player Starter with the factions you really want!  Here is the direct link to the offer on their website for you to use.

All the best,

NEWS: Warmachine Events and new Pre-Orders - Steamforged Games

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,

Steamforged Games as usual have dropped a ton of news the last couple of days for Warmachine .  Here's what they've had to say:

"Coming to pre-order next Tuesday, the Journeyman solo and Ramhead super heavy bring a stern backbone and raw power to any Kithguard army.

Not only are Ramheads tough to destroy, they hit like anvils wrapped in frying pans. Meanwhile, Journeymen are of the “lesser warcaster” variety. They may not be able to lead an army, but they can generate focus to allocate to the Ramhead and cast spells to help it hit even harder."  To read why you need to add these guys to your South Kriels Kithguard army please go here.

Wednesday was a real belter of a news day, here is the round up of what they had to say:

Tuesday 28th July you can watch Live on You Tube, Tuesday (July 28) they’ll be celebrating the release of Fane’s upcoming army box, Death’s Whisper, AND sharing the first look at gameplay for the next army box, Court of Shadows!  To see this live (or to watch after that day please go to this You Tube link here.

MINIATURE CONSTRUCTION: Warmachine: House Kayllss : The Final Hunt Command Cadre - Steamforged Games

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,

Today I'm going to be doing something a little different.  Sadly my footage for Steamforged Games Warmachine: House Kayllss: The Final Hunt Command Cadre was corrupted so this time, you're sadly going to have to put up with my description of the sprues and how the product went together.  In future, we will ensure multiple recording devices so it won't happen again...

Packed in a high quality cardboard box, the three separate sprues, are all clearly labelled, packed into a resealable bag and accompanied by the perfect number of bases for the miniatures provided.  In addition to this, they also have a printed piece of paper with a QR code that takes you to downloadable instructions that you can use either on your PC or your phone on how to construct each figure.

Whilst this was a nice thing to do, it did feel like a bit of a waste of time printing it on its own piece of glossy paper, when it could have been printed onto the box or perhaps as a sticky label upon the resealable bag and saved the extra piece of paper, but that's just my own gripe.

Each miniature was clearly labelled with a letter corresponding to just the one piece, with each individual body part numbered and easy to lay out in the format the lead picture for that piece had so you could easily grab the correct piece you were looking for.  In addition to this you weren't looking for a huge number of items and the highly limited number just kept it all easy to find in one area of the sprue without having to play "Where's piece X" like you do with other companies.    The instructions were easy to follow and being able to blow up the high quality pictures kept it easy to see the order and exactly where each piece needed to be.

All round, the quality of the sculpt and the beautiful crafting of each feature for the various pieces is fabulous, it is a great set of miniatures to put together, easy to find each piece with their clear numbering and wasn't so many pieces as to make it a difficult piece of construction.  All round would definitely give these a very high rating for other hobbyists and of course with top notch printing, these will be a dream to paint too.  (Video to follow soon.)  I can't wait to get more mini's by Steamforged and hope that the larger pieces (like the accompanying warjacks/monsters) will be just as easy to do.

All the best,

ThunderMouser
