Hello, TechRaptor readers! Here’s what you may have missed in the world of tabletop wargaming over the last week.
First up is Games Workshop with some new releases for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar. Finally releasing the Dracoth models from the starter set, the Lord-Celestant on Dracoth and the Dracothian Guard are currently up for pre-order and will be available for purchase on March 19th. We’ll also be getting a new Knight-Heraldor model along with Battletome: Stormcast Eternals Extremis.
Corvus Belli recently released additional information for the ITS 2016 season, clearing up some ambiguity in the initial release. Starting on March 7th, all ITS tournaments will need to be announced one week in advance on the ITS website. Explanations for tournaments without an internet connection and additional pairing rules are also included.
Wrath of Kings, the tabletop skirmish game from Cool Mini Or Not, have released their first two player starter set. Honor and Trechary: Battle of Ravenwood comes with a quick start rule set, unit stat cards, models from Houses Goritsi and Nasier, and terrain templates. The starter set has an MSRP of $60 USD, placing it well below the average price for wargaming starter sets.
Mantic Games have continued their releases of small themed army bundles for Kings of War. The Kindred Riders, Monsters of the Crypts, and Slaves of Zarak bundles are now available. Not only are these bundles fully legal 500 point armies themselves, but they also offer a 20% discount compared to buying the models individually.
And finally, Privateer Press have a trio of new models available for Warmachine and Hordes. Phyrrus, the Protectorate Temple Flameguard, Bloat Thrall Overseer Mobius, and the Trollblood Rok. The models are resin and white metal, and were released on March 9th. Prices range from $17.99 USD (Phyrrus) to $24.99 (Mobius) to $54.99 (Rok).
