Wargaming Gallery: Apocalypse Pics

Slick here again. Today we have a few pics to share from a recent Apocalypse battle with Imperium vs. Chaos. Unfortunately, the game only lasted two turns. The game did feature a reaver titan on both the imperial and chaos sides!

Some IG vs. Dark Eldar action from a recent game! Does the Talos survive?

News: Stellar Syndicate for Firestorm Armada

Slick here again. Firestorm Armada fans rejoice as more goodies are on the way! The Syndicate receives a nice preview this week with painted examples of the battleship and heavy cruiser as well as some background information regarding these deadly ships!

Here you see the mighty Phantom class battleship as well as the sleek Spur class heavy cruiser. You can read more about the Syndicate in the recent Spartan blog post featuring them.

I really enjoy the design of these ships and the paint scheme reinforces the sleek but deadly nature of these vessels. Who doesn't want to add some crime syndicate forces to their fleets or simply build a fleet of nothing but Syndicate ships?

Will you be adding these to your Firestorm forces? I certainly will!

News: New Firestorm Armada models incoming

Firestorm Armada is also getting some reinforcements with more alliance models for both sides of the conflict. It looks like the Ba'Kash are being fleshed out quite nicely with heavy cruiser and destroyer classes being added to their existing roster. The Tarakians also receive a key piece with the addition of their frigate model.

From Spartan Games:

The war between the Kurak Alliance and Zenian League is never-ending, as both sides are continually thinking of new ways to outdo one other. The Tarakians add the sleek Tarl Class Frigate to the Kurak Alliance forces, while the Ba'Kash introduce the beastly Varnak Class Heavy Cruiser and Tashak Class Destroyer.

News: Dystopian Wars upcoming releases

Spartan Games continues to add to the increasingly reach Dystopian Wars universe! The latest batch of models focuses on the core nations as opposed to the recent release of various alliance nations.

From Spartan:

With the recent release of the brilliant Storm of Steel Campaign Book, we have seen many Alliance Nations populate the fields, seas and skies of Dystopian Wars, bringing with them the advent of new and exciting classes of war machines. However, the major powers of the world are not simply lying dormant while these upstarts, friendly or not, lead from the bleeding edge of battlefield ingenuity.

This month we return to the mighty core nations as seven new deadly machines of war enter the fray. From the menacing Onryo Class Scout Gyro to the electrifying Konigsberg Class Battlecruiser, many new ship classes and roles are already filling the ranks of the major powers.

These are all also available for pre-order from Spartan's website:

Kingdom of Britannia Lord Hood Class Battlecruiser (2 models per blister) 

Prussian Empire Konigsberg Class Battlecruiser (2 models per blister) 

Federated States of America Reno Class Medium Tank (3 models per blister) 

Empire of the Blazing Sun Onryo Class Scout Gyro (2 models per blister) 

Republique of France Alma Class Frigate (4 models per blister) 

Republique of France L'Arman 'Char 1C' Class Medium Tank (6 models per blister) 

Russian Coalition Rudnitsky Class Repair Ship (1 models per blister) 

The addition of the battlecruiser class to Dystopian Wars adds an interesting new dimension and might help to fill in the gaps in some naval fleets as Prussian cruisers/Gunships tend to be a bit weak. We're excited to see the stats on these when they become available! The French are also getting a flying frigate which allows them to effectively field an all air force. This will make them even trickier to deal with.

Let us know what you think about the latest additions to Dystopian Wars!
