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.

From Wyrd Miniatures

“You’ve been wondering, pondering, even hollering about what we’ve got coming up and it’s about time to let folks know what we’ve got going on.

Wyrd has traditionally done all of our models the old fashion way, sculpt, mold, metal .. good to go! And it hasn’t been bad for us at all. Unfortunately these last few years we’ve had to deal with rising metal costs as well as a horde of other issues that have for one reason or another caused us a bit of trouble that necessitated our move to plastic.

We found a fix to that and in doing so, we feel that we have seriously upped our game when it comes to quality, product and model options.

If you like our artwork, then odds are you’re going to love the miniatures, as we’ve moved from traditional sculpting to digital sculpting and from metal to high detail hard plastic (this isn’t your bendy stuff!). Below we’ve got a couple of shots to show you the progress from art to finished plastic product. ”

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.

Doctor Who Card Game

$ 29.99

 

Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans – The list of threats is endless and no place in the universe is ever truly safe from danger, but there is one man who has made it his mission to defend the defenseless, help the helpless, and save everyone he can: a mysterious stranger, a force of nature who has seen his own planet die, a madman with a box. In Doctor Who: The Card Game, players act as the Doctor and his companions to defend specific locations while sending the Doctor’s enemies to conquer locations your opponents are trying to protect. Each player starts the game with one location, and cards in the deck consist of attackers, defenders, locations and support cards. To start a turn, you draw two cards, pick up any cards banked from a previous turn, and take the three cards passed to you earlier by the player on your left. You play or bank cards until you have only three in hand, then pass those to the player on your right and end your turn. Attackers target specific locations and earn points for the player wielding them if they’re in play at the end of the game. Defenders try to remove attackers so that the location owner scores points for protecting the location. Support cards provide different abilities, such as enlarging your bank or providing time points (which can be used to draw additional cards). Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins!

Dragon Rage

$ 75.00 SRP

 

Dragon Rage is an introductory wargame set in a fantasy world. Dragons and other monsters attack walled cities, trying to destroy as much of the city building as they can while the city garrison fights back. Controls the invading monsters or the city forces in a merciless struggle! The basic game scenario has two Dragons attacking the seaside city of Esirien. The defender controls a small militia that defends the city. All troops are represented by counters on the game board’s hex grid. During each game turn, each player may move some or all his units and then fight the enemies within attack range. The humans have a local hero which has special powers, as well as a wizard that can cast spells. The dragons are very resilient and can breathe fire, destructing men and buildings in a blazing roar. Combat is resolved trough a dice roll on a combat resolution table, cross-referencing the attacking and defending unit’s strength. Dragon Rage is a good introduction to the world of wargames : There are few units on both sides, making the game simple to learn and fast-paced. It will introduce you to key wargaming concepts such as tactical movement on an hexagon grid, units statistics printed on the counters, use of a combat resolution table, attack-to-defense ratios, terrain modifiers, reinforcements, and special abilities.
