Cryx Kraken Colossal

$ 124.99 SRP

 

Kraken—Cryx Colossal (resin and white metal) The Kraken ranks among the most terrifying necromechanikal fabrications ever loosed upon the mortals of the Iron Kingdoms. With surprising agility for its size, a Kraken can quickly maneuver to take advantage of any situation on the battlefield. As it rises from the depths, its hellblaster cannon delivers devastating payloads supported by bursts from its flayer cannon to cut down infantry. The Kraken’s long tendrils erupt like steel serpents in the midst of formations, tearing apart warjacks and grasping victims to fuel its vile hunger. The Kraken colossal comes in a box (PIP 34050) and includes a colossal wreck marker. A player may field up to two Krakens for each warcaster in a Cryx army.

Warmachine Cygnar Avenger/Centurion/Hammersmith

$ 34.99

 

Avenger/Centurion/Hammersmith—Cygnar Heavy Warjack (plastic) Caspian engineers developed the hulking Centurion to rival the size and strength of Khador’s warjacks. Its increased armor and heavy shield makes it one of Cygnar’s most durable designs, and its mighty piston spear can easily pierce the hulls of enemy warjacks. The Hammersmith swaps out shield and spear with massive twin forge hammers meant to flatten anything in its path, while the Avenger features a stun blade and a groundbreaking seismic cannon. Representing a step forward in Cygnaran technology, the seismic cannon fires sophisticated projectiles that can unleash a localized earthquake upon impact. This box set contains three color stat cards and one multi-part heavy warjack plastic model (PIP 31074). Included are all the components to assemble one of three heavy warjack variants: Avenger, Centurion, or Hammersmith. A player may field any number of these heavy warjacks in a Cygnar army. SPECIAL NOTE: PIP 31074 contains the same Mk II stat cards as PIP 31025 and PIP 31039. The model in this box represents the same figures as those PIPs in the game. However, the model in PIP 31074 is a new sculpt and therefore looks different from the models found in those PIPs. In addition, this model is plastic rather than metal. PIP 31025 and 31039 will no longer be available from Privateer Press beginning August 1, 2012.

Tomorrow’s War Game Review

 Miniature Game Reviews, Miniatures, Osprey Publishing  Comments Off on Tomorrow’s War Game Review

Tomorrow’s War is produced by Osprey Publishing for Ambush Alley Games.  The book is just the right size for the gamer, 260 pages.  It is fully embossed with several nice pictures and easy to use charts.  Even though the fog of war cards are available as a deck  I wish they  were removable.

There is not a models line for this game.  there is a complete list of manufacturers that carry adequate mini’s in both 15mm and 28 mm that can be used.

Tomorrow’s War is set in the 24th century.  Humanity has begun colonizing off world.  This has lead to the discoveries of new technologies and even alien races.

It is a game of Modern Warfare game.  It covers just about everything you want in Sci-fi, Vtol’s,off and on board artillery, reinforcements,and airstrikes.  It uses a pointless system for army construction.  That is to say that a marine is not x points.  Instead all troops are assigned a experience type ranging from green to elite.  Each troop type has a different die value for its skills.    Most of your troops in a game are green so it balances nicely.

The game mechanics are a little different.  As I mentioned before the experience of the troop determines the die value, Green troops use d6 while the best troops use a d12.  When making a skill check you would roll the appropriate die.  This is an opposed roll.  You may roll 5d6 against 3d12.   What is important about the system is that a success of 4 plus can be trumped by a higher opposed roll.  I have played the game and I like the system.

Tomorrow’s War is a great Sci-fi game for clubs. You can take it anywhere in the world and teach someone how to play, it is that easy. Without a point system it lacks the structure needed for tournaments.

What I would like to see in a future print run is a quick reference sheet.

 

I should note that the Fog of War cards are available at your retailer.
