Yes, we finally got a new 3D render just a couple of minutes ago and it's Valerie Duval! And she is looking rally good, will be awesome to paint her up. Prodos also released their £115k stretch goal and it's something new for this Kickstarter. A diorama with a Razide kicking some Chasseurs asses, a really cool model it looks like but I will probably not buy this even though it's KS exclusive.

WARZONE: Valerie Duval and £115k Stretch Goal!

WARZONE: £120k Stretch Target: Capitol Heavy Infantry
Prodos has revealed what the £120k stretch goal is and it's a new unit for Capitol, the Heavy Infantry. It's just an concept art image so far but they do look awesome! Shame I won't collect Capitol, not right now anyway ^^.
So go on and make a pledge if you haven't already. Just sixty hours to go!

WARZONE: Bauhaus Vorreiter & Imperial Doomtrooper
So the final updates is coming in and Prodos want to show as much as they possibly can before the KS ends. And I really hope we make it into £130k (£125 is already passed) as I really want that Imperial Doomtrooper Hero. I also like the £125k stretchgoal as we get more use for the free Tatsumoto model.
The last update for today (as of now at least) is a render of the Vorreiters, the new unit for Bauhaus. I didn't really like the concept but these look a lot beefed up and overall much better. I will definitely get a box of these.

WARZONE: Cybertronic Scorpion Render
The new Cybertronic Scorpion don't really look like the old ones did (see the old ones further down) but it quite another beast. And a beast it is, it looks really menacing and I will get one for my Cybertronic force, so really pleased with this one and I must say I prefer the new necron like look on the Scorpion instead of the old one.
Also don't forget to make your pledges, there is just 26 hours to go and need £7500 to get Mishima unlocked. Go and visit the banner below!

WARZONE: Mishima unlocked! Only 11 hours left of Kickstarter!
Yey we reached the £140k stretch goal and it went fast during the night so I think the Americans did a lot of pledging so now we unlocked the Mishima starter and also just now got revealed what we will get if we get if we reach £145k, Lord General Nozaki.
Also we got some updates earlier today, we got some renders of the Valkyries as well as the KS exclusive poster for Dark Legion this time and it's the Black Widow, really cool models and awesome picture of the widow.
So only 11 hours left of the Kickstarter, so go on pledging if there's anything you want for really good KS prices.

Warriors of Chaos: Chimera finished!
The first of the new monsters in my WoC army is now finished and it's the big flying flame breathing and regenerating Chimera, the first of the two I bought not long ago. I know many don't really like the sculpt for this, and yes it may not be the best one out there but I kinda of like anyway, a different pose would have been nice though. But it was actually really fun to paint and at first I felt like I would finish this model up fast. That was not the case but that's mostly because my ability to start up new little painting projects all the time.
Anyhow, now it's finished and as always c & c is very welcome.

News: Pictures of the new High Elves models
The High Elves release is soon here and because of that we are now getting pictures from the next WD. Check them out below, I got them from Bell of lost Souls Lounge found here.
Comment: The models looks decent enough, but I have never been a big fan of High Elves I must say. The models I like most is the Phoenix, Shadow Warriors and the BSB the rest looks quite meh to me. Also I don't really like the concept of the flying chariot and it just feels gimicky and another chariot for HE, the Eagle looks really nice though and I know many HE players want this kit just for that one. I'll reserve further comments until I see better pictures.

WZR: Lord Inquisitor Hamilkar
So we get the first render update after the Kickstarter ended and it's Lord Inquisitor Hamilkar, don't really how this guy is but he looks badass exactly like the rest of the Inquisitors. So it looks like I need to add some more money on my pledge so I can get this guy as well.
Lot's of expression in his face, really like it.

Warzone: Bauhaus Ducal Militia test mini
One of my main armies in Warzone: Resurrestion will be Bauhaus MegaCorpororation (Imperial will be the main army when they are released) and as Imperial will take it's time I have to have some WZR projects before. And I choose Bauhaus, I didn't know what colours to use though so I painted up a first test mini of the a Ducal Militia from the 2nd Edition of Warzone from 1998 (I recently bought the starter for this and will make and Unboxing/review of it really soon). Well this is what I came up with. C & C is especially welcome here as I'm new to Warzone and how to paint them in appropriate colours.

Review & Unboxing: Warzone 2nd Edition Starter box
Last week I got my much anticipated starter box of Warzone 2nd Ed from Prince August, and quite cheap as well, especially when choosing the Swedish version (or Spanish). €33.80 for those versions or €39.95
for the English one is a steal really. Not only if you are interested in the game and the IP but if you just want a lot of really nice models for a cheap price, to use as Imperial Guard for example. When the box arrived it was a little mangled on one side but otherwise the it was in good condition and when we open it up there's a lot of stuff.
History
First a short history lesson. If you are a regular reader of this blog you should know this already but if not, Warzone is a tabletop miniature wargame just like Wh40k and the like. It was produced by the Swedish company Target Games who later also made a fantasy based miniature game called Chronopia. Warzone was actually the main competitor to GW's Wh40k back in the day and still has a big following all over the world. Target games later got some major economical problems and the rights to the Warzone brand were acquired by Paradox Entertainment in December 1999 in the wake of a complicated restructuring of Target Games and its child companies. After this Warzone pretty much died, the license went to other companies (Excelsior and later Fantasy Flight games) but without any real success.
That is about to change hopefully with the Prodos version called Warzone: Resurrection and their successful Kickstarter which I'm a proud contributor too as well.
Contents
You get three books in the box, on called Chronicles of War (fluff, 48 pages), The Rules of War (the rules, 64 pages) and one called The Forces of War (94 pages) presenting pictures and rules/stats for each army in the game. All of them are full colour except the rulebook and I don't really think it needs to. The quality of the books is high, sure you see that the layout is from the nineties but that isn't necessarily a bad thing for a nostalgia junkie like me.
Some of the artwork is just amazing the main reason I got into this IP in the first place. The pictures is good and the miniatures are nicely painted, although some of the actual models really shows their ages and the quality is really up and down. That doesn't matter much for us though as the models we get in this box is some of the better ones sculpted for the system. I won't delve deeper into to the actual rules for this edition as I haven't played it my self.
There's the history of all the Mutant Chronicles in the Chronicles of War book, including for each of the factions. There's not as much fluff as in the old RPG books however but you get the most important parts. Some fluff was changed in this edition though, something many disliked back then. It will be interesting too see what route WZR will go with, I think back to 1st ed.
Anyhow all the books looks nice and is fun to read trough. We also get some more stuff in the box so you can start up a game as soon as you have put together your miniatures, this includes many different cardboard templates, counters and markers as well as the really important bit. The two D20 dices.
You get a large bag in the box with all the sprues, one sprue per model. Eighty in total. |
Compared to today's miniatures they do lack details, they are there but quite hard to make out as some things like holes in the helmet masks disappears when you paint them. The design is great though and the models has a lot of character They are easy to assemble even if the weapon arms can be fiddly to get right sometimes. They do have mould lines but they are not difficult to cut away with your modelling knife. I I have one complaint it is that it's hard to remove the model from the sprue without damaging the shoulderpad a little. This isn't a major problem though as you hardly see it when it's painted, an easily fixed with green stuff If needed.
Here are three of the Imperial Army Regulars, just under coated with black and dry brushed grey. Also changed the bases for 30mm lipped bases, as WZR will use these. |
Bauhaus Ducal Militia, one of the normal soldier, one sergeant and one with an heavy machine gun. |
The first painted miniature by me. |
If I got this box in 1998 I would have overwhelmed I think, and I still think 15 years after that this box is really great and with great value. You get three really nice books, all the things you need to play the game with templates, rulers, D20:ies and what not. And on top of this 80 great looking miniatures that you can use in this 2 ed game, your WZ:R game or even 40k or any other Sci fi game. If you aren't interested in the IP or the rules (shame on you) or already have them and just want the models Prince August also sells just the bags of miniatures, so that's Bag of 80 Plastic Soldiers for only €24.94. A great deal if you ask me. I choose the box though as I wanted the rest of the stuff as well.
Rating: 4 out of 5
More nostalica, the stuff was even delivered in Target games boxes |

Painting Challenge 2013: Mars
I continue the tradition of making these late it seems. But as they say, better late than never. So what happened last month then, well firstly I made a lot of posts regarding the Warzone KS and that made a little less time for the ordinary Wh40k and WHFB updates. This will change a little now when the KS has ended and we don't get as much updates from Prodos at the moment.
Empire
5 Outriders (Repainted) w. Musican 115 Pts
Warriors of Chaos
1 Daemon Prince 235 + 40 for the wings so 275 Pts (will most often be a lot more though)
But enough of that, I actually got some painting done as well in Mars and below are the stuff I finished painting and therefore counts for the Painting Challenge.
5 Outriders (Repainted) w. Musican 115 Pts
Warriors of Chaos
1 Daemon Prince 235 + 40 for the wings so 275 Pts (will most often be a lot more though)
1 Warriors of Chaos Tzeentch Unit filler 34 Pts (Counts as two Tz Warriors with shields)
Total: 424 Pts
Total: 424 Pts
Not as good as Jan but close and to be fair the Daemon Prince will almost always be more points than this, but the challenge is to have the units/heroes without equipment and magic items if they aren't modelled as a something that pretty much requires it, like Tz Warriors, the wings on the DP etc. Anyhow, I think next month will be even better :)

News: High Elves video clip and rumours
So GW released a new video clip yesterday, and last time when we got the Tau teaser it was pretty cool. This one however not so much, it looks like Batman will join the fight against the forces of destruction in Warhammer world and that would have been awesome! But sadly I think 'Reborn to fight anew' means the we just will Phoenixes in our HE armies, which by it self aren't that bad.

FACTS:
1) High Magic Lore attribute is 6+ ward save on friendly units if you cast a spell on them. If your already have a ward save, this gets better by 1 point.
2) Stubborn Lion Chariots.
3) Frost and Fire phoenixes can go alone. BUT frost phoenix can only be ridden by Caradryan and fire phoenix by the Anointed of Asuryan.
4) Loremaster of hoeth is L2 Lord option with WS6 W3 A3. Knows all signatures from rulebook.
5) New Lothern Sea Guard hero character. He can ride a flying boat.
6) New Lord option: Anointed of Asuryan. He can ride a fire phoenix.
7) Silver Helms go core.
Sisters of Avelorn will have magic bows (but we do not know if any other bonuses)
9) Three army rules: Speed of Asuryan, Valor of Ages, Martial Prowess. We do not know yet if they remain the same or they have changed (apparently the latter option).
10) Flying boat name is Skycutter. LSG hero can be built on foot or as a crewmember from the Skycutter sprue. Phoenixes' names are: flamespyre/frostheart; Anointed of Asuryan and plastic Caradryan can be built either mounted or on foot from plastic sprues of phoenixes
11) Deductions: Phoenixes WON'T be MC, for they go either alone or are a hero mount. You may expect heros from other regions (avelorn, caledor, chrace)
All those things can be already considered facts, AND they are today's leaks all of them.

Deadzone: Another Kickstarter from Mantic Games
Yea Mantic continue to do Kickstarter and here's their fourth one, and in my opinion the best looking KS from Mantic so far. Down below are what info we got in the mail on what we can expect from this KS.
