Outside the Box 06-08-11

 

Welcome to another issue of Outside the Box. There's a lot going on at them moment, so be prepared for a long one. Beside the usual suspects (Warlord Games, Corvus Belli, Mantic Games, Spartan Games and Bane Legion) I have interesting news from Pk-Pro, Blight Wheel Miniatures and Four-Color Figures. 



Warlord Games 

Suspiciously quiet over there. The only announcement this week was a preview of new Pike&Shotte Swordsmen:

Mantic Games

Warpath is of course the big news this week, and you can read and discuss about it elsewhere on BolS

Additionally, the Undead got two new Elite boxes and we got more info about The Green Menace, the second dungeon crawler which will feature Orcs versus Elves.

Spartan Games

Completely out of left field they announced a new set of rules called Armoured Clash, streamlined for faster play with miniatures from the Dystopian Wars range.

It is rumored to be available after june 16th from a new shiny Spartan Games website.

Bane Legion 

Maelstrom Games gave us a firt look at the massive Tarask and released Alassar, Bearer of the Dragon Standard

Infinity
Corvus Belli presented the official Battlefoam Infinity bag. And Beasts of War has a brand new preview of the Specialist Sergeant with Spitfire:

New from JoeK Miniatures  is this, hm, beauty:




Somewhere I found a link to Blight Wheel Miniatures , and they produce some interesting stuff. Like this Recon drone:

These new 15mm Space Knights from Four-Color Figures remind me of something...

And the useful bit of the week comes from PK-Pro: model ropes

And don't forget, if a weekly fix is not enough, head over to The Tabletop Fix for daily news about the hobby! 

A lot is going on at the moment. Keep an eye on the Mantic Blog, they will post more info about Warpath soon. The concept artwork for the vehicles looks interesting.

Editorial: Defining MEQ and CMEQ

Boys and girls, Unicorns and children of all ages, today's article is surprisingly fairly straightforward.  It's not meant to refight 'Counts-As' - let's let that one rest - but will instead concentrate on the one area that seems to cause the most dissension:  MEQ.

Plastic Dudesmen # 12 - GREY KNIGHT I CHOOSE YOU!

Pika whaaatt??? I wonder where they go to the bathroom in that thing. Maybe it is just a Stasis field. I think most likely it is some kind of sick torture room with just loud music and a small Pokemon that throws fire crackers around and a crazy guy in a bathrob talking about some kind of Pokemon secret drug.

Wargaming ASKEW: Hug Me, Don't Club Me
