Hello, TechRaptor readers! Here’s what you may have missed in the world of tabletop wargaming over the last week.
Games Workshop has released their weekly pre-orders over the weekend, with this wave focusing on the Blood Angels for Warhammer 40K and the Elven Union for Blood Bowl. This week’s Blood Angels release wave focuses primarily on Primaris infantry, with the new Primaris Hellblasters, Primaris Intercessors, and Primaris Aggressors. The wave also contains the new Blood Angels codex (both in regular and collector's editions), data cards, dice, and upgrade bits for Primaris Marines. The Blood Bowl release wave contains a new team in the Elfheim Eagles, a new Elven-themed pitch, and Elven Union themed dice. A set of team cards for the Orcs, Humans, and Elves are also included in this release wave. The current pre-order wave has a street release date of December 9th.
Warcradle Studios has released their first annual holiday miniature with Kyle the Red & White, a Christmas-themed version of the Enlightened boss Kyle the Black. Kyle the Red & White also comes with a Christmas-themed K9 Attack Dog named Max, along with standard-sized bases for both miniatures to give Wild West Exodus players the opportunity to use both models as stand-ins for the regular versions. The holiday model is currently available for purchase now either directly from the Wild West Exodus website or through your FLGS.
And for anyone with any lingering questions regarding the Dystopian Age setting and the games that comprise the overall setting, Warcradle will be holding a live Q&A via Facebook on Friday, December 8th at 7 PM UTC. You’ll be able to direct your questions to senior Warcradle staff directly, so get your questions and concerns ready.
