Warlord Games: Antares Ghar Preview
Warlord Games shows off the new Ghar Battle Squad for the upcoming game Beyond the Gates of Antares! Check these out!
Tri-pedal robots with guns and claws? YES PLEASE! The new Ghar miniatures look like a high-tech insect race. I can wait to see what the rest of them look like painted up.

Last week, the first sightings of Ghar models and sprues appeared across the internet via the exclusive Beyond the Gates of Antares Newsletter (Sign-up here!) – which goes-out twice weekly with all of the latest news, updates and previews on the build-up to the game’s big launch later this year!
Last week saw the first preview of the Ghar Battle Squad, which are to be included in the ‘Strike Vector One: The Xilos Horizon’ starter set – as multi-part all-plastic models.
A shot also appeared of their sprue – showing the breakdown and flexibility of the kit.

…and while we’re on the topic of Ghar, we thought we’d round-up all of the previous previews we’ve shown of other forthcoming Ghar units for the game… and there are plenty more coming!

I’m liking the offerings in the upcoming starter box and I want to see more! Antares is shaping up to be an interesting Sci-Fi universe to play in. And as long as it plays as smoothly as Bolt-Action it should be a solid wargame on your tabletop!
More Bolt-Action in Space! I wonder if we’re going to be able to have a cross-over…
