Another day, another preview from Games Workshop. This time they're stylin' and profilin' with the new Kill Team: Hivestorm box set.

An article released today on the Warhammer site describes Hivestorm as 'a whole new edition of Kill Team' which pits two teams of Tempestus Aquilon and Vespid Stingwings against one another. These squads are represented by a host of dynamic, multi-part plastic miniatures.

The box set includes a softback edition of the updated rules (with a hardback version due for release later in the year). This book contains 'Updated rules [that] make it even easier to pit your squad of elite specialists against the best the galaxy has to offer.' The changes to rules are said to be 'clearer and easier to read than ever before', and the rulebook also sports 'design notes and examples [...] to clarify any tricky situations that might occur'. 

Also included in the box set, the Kill Team: Hivestorm Dossier contains rules for the Tempestus Aquilon and Vespid Stingwing kill teams, as well as missions and background materials. There's also a wealth of plastic barricades, barbed wire obstacles, ladders, smoke grenades and plastic range markers.

And, just in case you wanted a bit more bang for your buck, the box set will include a pack of Approved Ops cards and two sheets of cardboard counters.

Needless to say, Tabletop Sentinel will bring you all the latest and tastiest Kill Team news just as soon as it breaks.

The Kickstarter for Free League's new Blade Runner expansion may be over, but players can still back the project thanks to late pledges.

Entitled Replicant Rebellion, this new expansion was funded on Kickstarter in a scorching 12 minutes, and attracted more than $400,000 worth of pledges. It allows players to roleplay as members of the Replicant Underground, a network of rebels attempting to secure the rights of Replicants everywhere.

This Kickstarter also includes an Asset Pact for Blade Runner: the Roleplaying Game. Designed to be used with both the Replicant Rebellion expansion and the main games, this asset pack includes physical and digital handouts such as location maps, crime scene photos, NPC mugshots, data sheets, Esper photos, and more.

See the Pledge Manager for more details.

We recently covered the release of Forgemaster Miniatures' new Northern Barbarians.

Now Forgemaster have made the barbarians' interchangeable heads, shields and spears available to buy as separate sets, allowing you to use them to adapt other 28mm scale miniatures.

See the Forgemaster Miniatures website for more details.

Another day, another new reveal from Games Workshop. Today's drop focuses on the the literal golden boys of the 40k universe, the Sanguinary Guard.

As the most elite force in the Blood Angels' ranks, you'd expect the Sanguinary Guard to be pretty bling, and you wouldn't be wrong. With their signature encarmine blades, winged jetpacks, Angelus boltguns and golden armour, these guys are—to paraphrase the crew of the Serenity—shiny...

...But not as shiny as their boss.

From the tip of his Iron Halo to his little golden toes, new Sanguinor miniature is suitably ostentatious. Whilst his Messianic pose, impressive wings and elevated position above the tabletop, this is an impressive miniature and one suitable to act a leader for these new Blood Angels miniatures.

These new miniatures—and the accompanying Codex Supplement: Blood Angels—will be available later in the year.
