Rob kicked off the day with a brief Warpath Universe Q&A. This chat covered everything from Deadzone to Firefight and a little bit of DreadBall for good measure. The star of the show was most certainly the upcoming Asterian Spectra. This is a new mech for the Asterians in Deadzone and it’s already got heads turning.
There are two weapon options (sword and gun), plus two head options that can be mixed and matched. That awesome blue shield is actually going to be translucent resin to give it the appearance of an energy shield. Also, it might not be clear from the pictures, but the Spectra is an impressive 11cm tall. We cannot wait for this to go up for pre-order once release dates have returned to normal.
In the afternoon, Matt Gilbert gave us plenty of scoops from Pannithor. We started with a quick update about the upcoming ogres for Vanguard, including some work in progress pictures of the painted Berserker Bully, Boomer Sergeant and Matriarch.
Continuing the Vanguard theme, Matt confirmed the next warband after the ogres will be Ratkin and that a Salamanders warband is about to go into playtesting too.
Moving onto Kings of War now and there was plenty to take a look at, including some new miniatures for the Nightstalkers. The Dreadfiend is the champion version of the standard Fiends. It stands roughly twice the size of a normal fiend and it’s suitably freakish. Like the Fiends, this will be available in resin.
Up next, the Soulflayers are the cavalry equivalent for the Nightstalkers. These are six-legged mounts able to flit through reality and will also be available in resin.
The action-packed day wrapped up with the main event: Ronnie Renton. Once he got his connection working, Ronnie covered a whole host of topics including the Walking Dead, current Kickstarters, Kings of War, sci-fi, Hellboy and more!
