Want to be on the front lines?  Want to give some new rules a thorough thrashing?  Want to be a star?  Well Critical Mass Games is giving people a chance to become a beta tester for their 15mm new rules.
 
My first read of the rules was ... wait for it .... wait for it....awesome.  Actually it had me so pumped that I actually glued some CMG figures together. :) 
 
Check out the forums for a  Beta Sign-up of the rules.

I came across what looks like a very interesting fantasy skirmish game called Twilight.  The miniatures are sold by Hasslefree Miniatures and figures and world are created by Mike Thorp.  The figures look outstanding with tons of character.  Now these figures would probably work just as well on a Sci-Fi table as they would on a fantasy table.

In the world of 3D software, Zbrush seems to really stand out.  Now I am no 3D designer, but visiting the Pixologic Zbrush site is definitely worth the visit.  Lots of cool stuff there to check out.  I also got to say that if you're in the miniature business, you can really get some amazing ideas for miniatures lines.  You can find sculptors that use this software on the site are absolutely amazing.

Khurasan Miniatures has some really fun figures from their planet 15mm line coming out next week. 
 
 
From Khurasan Miniatures

Our declaring that their home world was not even a planet was the last straw.

A proud, warlike race from Pluto with hard shells making them very tough indeed, the Plutonians have glowing red eyes to help them see in the near total darkness of that most distant of all planets. Their main weapon is the testi-gun, a living weapon that releases loogies of corrosive acid when the trigger is pulled.

However, the testigun was no match for Martian rayguns when those little green imperialists arrived in their saucers, rapidly conquering the dark planet using vastly superior technology. The Martians even proved able to defeat the dreaded warbeast of the Plutonians, the Munchers who eat everything they see, by releasing a gas which made the little gluttons very weight-conscious.

The fiendish Martians immediately set about mutating their new subjects into weird, mindless beasts with huge claws who obey every whim of the Martians if they were in close proximity. The Martians use these horrifying Plutoluna Mutants, as they call them, as shock troops and cannon fodder in their invasions of other planets.

But due to the great distance, Mars' grip on Pluto is tenuous, and the Plutonians have now overpowered their Martian overlords and taken over many of the local occupation saucers. Loading themselves aboard, and taking some of the mindless Plutoluna Mutants as well as hordes of Munchers, they set out to show the Earthlings who's a planet and who isn't. And after the Munchers made Earth barren of life, the Plutonians would settle there instead. After all, Mars hadn't invaded Earth -- yet ….

Is this a picture of munchkins about to be crushed by an Ogre, or of a squad of munchkins leading an Ogre assault? Tell us your caption on Twitter: we're @sjgames!

Of course, real Ogre fans recognize the above question as a ruse. The real question is: "What the heck is that Ogre made of?" The answer is "thin wood, laser cut and stickered." Obviously it's a prototype, and alert fans will deduce the source as the upcoming Ogre 6th Edition.

Not up to speed on Ogre 6th? Don't worry, we've been a bit stingy with the details, mostly because our current plan for the release generates consistent "are you sure we can fit all that into one box?" responses from staffers. It'll be bigger -- both in scale and weight -- and more impressive than any previous edition. This will be a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the game's first release, so we were not content just incorporating the maps, units, and rules from GEV. (Yes, Ogre and GEV in one huge box -- I wish Phil had a packaging prototype to photograph, because his current idea is pure genius.)

As the numbers come in, and we nail down details, we'll share whatever we can with you. But it won't be long now . . .

Here are a few shots of a new Sentry Robot from 15mm.co.uk
 
 
 
HOF43 Armoured Sentry Robot

The Armoured Robot Sentry stands taller than a man. Excellent for guarding spaceports and other places where energy weapons fire would ignite stored chemicals.

Its angular armour deflects blaster shots with ease and its optic cluster works in all light types and levels. Miniature stands approx 20mm. Base not supplied.

Great for use in any 15mm science fiction gaming system.

Here's a green of the Lhurgg head man, the "unit" leader. He has a disposable blaster and the chief weapon of any Lhurgg, the huk-huk sword, which, when it is not on the fritz that is, operates like an electrical carving knife on a very large scale.


Lhurggs are primitive aggressive creatures often hired as cannon fodder or brought along as raiders in irregular wars. They can be found throughout the galaxy, wherever there is trouble. They often will force kidnapped techs to rig escape pods for local flight so they can use them in system piracy.
