For those of you who didn’t get your fill of Chainmail, you should head over to SVGames. We’ve heard they have a on the individual figures and boxed sets. Grab ’em while you can. Word.

They look fine and everything – of course, they can always cherry-pick nice paint jobs when they’re doing a trade show like this. The frustrating thing is we don’t get a good look at those hexes. They obviously have some kind of little window in them, and it looks like

Creepy Freaks is nice and all, but the presumably MK Dungeons-related plastic dungeon tiles which this post barely talks about but has drooly pictures of, ought to make some folks at Dwarven Forge sweat.

Less than three months after the release of Fire For Effect will come Death From Above, a MechWarrior: Dark Age expansion featuring, for the first time in MW, helicopters and air combat. All we’ve seen so far is the flyer linked to above, but damn… saturating the market much?
