Indie publisher Bloodforged Games is currently crowdfunding the second wave of miniatures for their tabletop wargame Sythopian Wars.

It's another good day for fans of 40k, with Games Workshop releasing their new Combat Patrol partwork.

It’s the dead of winter, and Arkham’s social elite have arrived in mist-shrouded Kingsport for an exquisite gala hosted by the enigmatic Lantern Club. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long before nightmarish creatures crash the festivities [...], and it falls to you to uncover the Club’s dark schemes before Arkham’s most powerful leaders all meet a terrible fate!

Now available from Fantasy Flight Games, The Midnight Gala is a new expansion for the Arkham Horror card game in which one to four investigators strive to obtain a powerful relic and foil a nefarious plot.

The Midnight Gala can be played as a stand-alone scenario or as a side story to an ongoing campaign.

See the Fantasy Flight website for more details.

Modiphius are preparing for the October release of Mass Effect The Boardgame - Priority: Hagalaz.

The boardgame centres on a squad of soldiers exploring a crashed starship on the titular planet Hagalaz. Needless to say, said exploration leads to an ongoing struggle with a suite of dangerous enemies. Whilst the soldiers and their enemies are represented by illustrated tokens, Modiphius are also producing a range of 32mm scale resin miniatures to compliment them.   

The first wave of these miniatures, entitled The Heroes of the Normandy Alpha, includes six miniatures in alternative poses and features key members of the squad. A neat touch I particularly like is the inclusion of both male and female versions of the team leader, Commander Shepard.

Further sets of miniatures are forthcoming, and will include Reaper Forces, Cerberus Troops and some of the Priority Threats encountered in the crashed cruiser.

See the Modiphius website for more details.
