For the last few months there have been announcements and rumors about a new license at WizKids. Well the rumormongers over at Gamingreport.com have offered up what they say is the definitive last and final truth. The story at Gamingreport is that the new license is nothing less than a

This wouldn’t be news, but a friend who now calls himself a former 40K player gave the previous version of the Warmachine Quick Start rules two big thumbs up. (I should clarify that it isn’t this game that made him a former 40K player… it’s 40K that made him a

Hey, look: planes. Officially out in May, the Crimson Skies CMG has some freakishly large pilots as well. Apparently they will get sold in “Ace Packs,” two per. That’s news to me.

Ok, not all of you at once. It’s more like a contest kind of thing. WizKids has decided to conduct the Four Shards of the Amulet contest along with their new Mage Knight: Uprising expansion. Here’s the deal: The goal of the contest is to be the first player or

Games Workshop announced they’ll be doing a Lord of the Rings pre-painted, hex-based collectible game this Christmas. “Combat-Hex” is intriguing, and suggests that maybe GW will be weaseling their way around the WizKids combat dial patent and doing something similar. Wizards has also all but announced a new plastic, pre-painted

Following the announcement of price increases at Games Workshop, there’s now an online petition protesting the increase. Not surprising, I guess.

Crocodile Games, maker of the ultra cool Egyptian style miniatures game War Gods of Aegyptus, has posted a new release schedule for their line of Egyptian Gods miniatures.

Every Wednesday until the release of MechWarrior: Fire for Effect, Wizkids will be previewing another of their new mechs. This week you get a close up look at a Maxim Mk2 Transport, the SUV of the Mech world. MechWarrior: Fire for Effect is a new expansion for MechWarrior: Dark Age
