At the top of the post, you'll find concept art previews of some of our models releasing in September.

October is the month we ask the Dwarves, what are they mining for? The answer of course is metal to build out their underground cities and create their impressive inventions. But also to arm themselves. The Rune Lord with Doomcart uses the magical properties of certain coals to affect his rune casting. By bringing a cart load of it with him he can cast better and stronger magic, and the doom cart is also a convenient place to store some of his equipment. The Army Standard tells the history of the Dwarves in iron runes and tapestry. That story a dire reminder to the enemy of those who's come against the Dwarves before and lost. The Iron Warriors are the battle hardened dwarves who's jobs are to be fighters. Armed well with rune scribed hammers and hefty shields, they are who stand in the way between the ordinary mountain folk and the horrors that seek to assault them. The Iron Marksmen are Iron Warriors trained in the use of fire rifles. While their weapons keep the enemy at range, their job is still very demanding on their stout bodies, their heavy arms and armor require lots of strength to keep a steady aim. The Bolt thrower is a pretty standard war machine for a variety of militaries around Tyria, but the Dwarves have of course added to theirs in ways that only make it even more deadly. While it launches using traditional tensed bow strings, the addition of steam pressure and heat from a furnace of coal means it doesn't only skewer through armor at a really high speed, but burns and melts what it gets caught inside of, for even more damage to large beasts and enemy war machines.

In October The Goblin Reclaimers set out into the stars to search for friends and treasures. The Goblin Champ is a hero to their collective, always the first out searching out for the best treasure on new worlds and creating the plans for reclamation. Their experience is what got them this far and that includes combat with all sorts of weird aliens and monster. The Goblin Weirdo is a bit of an outcast as it's name might suggest, not really fitting in with the other goblins because of the lighting that sometimes flies out from it's finger tips. But they still get to be in charge... probably because of the lightning thing. When Goblins explore it's always in packs, most of them carrying some form of scrounged gun, these Shooter Mobs make up the bulk of an encounter with goblins which actually tends to be a lot of bulk. Goblin Commandos have perfected skulking around and clambering over junk piles and debris. They tend to understand the technology they find a little better than other goblins which means they're almost always better armed too. The Goblin Bikers picked up the habit of going fast from some of the other species of the sector, always searching for parts to upgrade their bikes with, they're on a never ending quest to end up like the Biker Champ, having the best ride on which to travel through the wastes of destroyed planets.

Also in October is the last of the Human Empire Titans, the Earth Titan. This large Elemental Boar shakes the ground as it charges forth, rampaging as it stomps with hooves and gores with tusk. It's rider, an Empire Mage, lifts and throws stones using it's magic, or creates an eruption of beautiful, but deadly, crystal shards.

For Age of Fantasy: Quest in October, The Saurians Ranger keeps a watchful eye over his party from the branches. With a silent blowgun as his weapon of choice, most of it's adversaries never even notice the cloaked gecko before there's a poisoned dart stuck in some exposed area where armor never thought to cover.

In October for Grimdark Future: Star Quest the Human Defense Force Biomancer uses chemical warfare to smoke out rooms and create chaotic distractions for his squad to sneak through unseen. Equip him with kits and injectors to help out himself and his unit with some chemical courage.

That's it for now, happy wargaming!
