Space Denizens Release New Mecha Expansion

Space Denizens have released a new expansion for their 8mm scale wargame.

This new expansion, entitled Mecha, brings big (well, relatively big) stompy mechs to the teeny tiny world of Space Denizens. The expansion contains not only two mechs and infantry reinforcements for the game’s Ventauran and Federation factions, but also a variety of silos, buildings and other terrain features. A rules update is also included, allowing you to use these new pieces in the Space Denizens games. Better still, the entire expansion is contained in one charming little tin.

A small, silver tin is open to reveal a neatly organized assortment of miniatures and terrain pieces for the Space Denizens wargame. The contents include two distinct mechs, various infantry figures, and several terrain features such as crates and circular components, all set against a bright red insert. The miniatures are metallic and intricately detailed, showcasing the charm of the 8mm scale.

If you’re as taken with this wee set as I am, you can see the rest of the range—which includes the core rules and a tin full of extra troops—on the Space Denizens website.

A small, silver tin features the text "DENIZENS" in bold red letters at the top and "EXPANSION MECHA" in large, black, stencil-style font below. The tin's surface has a smooth, metallic finish, and it is set against a dark background, emphasizing its compact and portable design. This packaging represents the new expansion for the Space Denizens wargame, which includes mechs and terrain features.

Swansea, Cheese and Dave Hedgehog: Ugly, Lovely City Gets Its Comic-Pop-Con on

Does Swansea get a bad rap? Dylan Thomas backhandedly called it an "ugly, lovely town" a compliment that works when you're the long dead local poet more famous than the charmingly defiant city itself.
