While some heroes ride into battle on ferocious beasts, inspiring the troops around them, today we're going to take a peek at two infantry heroes that work best when they are attached to lead a unit with special abilities designed to make the most of their teammates skills. We plan to reveal the full range of miniatures in the main box over the course of the next few weeks, this week we reveal the Robot Legions Overseer, and the Saurian Starhost Veteran.

The Human Defense Force and Alien Hives fight over objective in this battle report from Haunts Wargaming. It's a race against time as each army rushes to secure and hold the objectives for longer than their enemy. Can the HDF gather enough intel on time? Will the Alien Hives be able to conceal their goals from the interfering Humans?

Watch this new Battle Report Here!

Where a battle takes place is just as important to a game as objectives and strategy. Our Terrain Basics series of releases aims to make sure battles can take place in every biome imaginable, right there on the Tabletop. We started with Forest Terrain, then Urban Terrain, and starting in February, Desert Terrain will get it's first release. Each full set of terrain comes with everything you might need to create a bustling landscape filled with obstacles from the small and short to the large and tall.

Now we want to make sure the units in the field can match the land at their feet with the inclusion of Terrain Basics - Bases. Bases for your units that will match the general vibe and style of the other terrain in the set while still remaining versatile enough to be used with any army or faction. These new base sets will be released alongside the Scatter Terrain sets.

The Urban Bases are released right now for all Tier 2 Patreon Backers in January, and if you were backing with the Forest Scatter Terrain was released in July, you'll find the Forest Bases added to your library! Get them in your MyMiniFactory Libraries.

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

In March the cocoons crack open and the Wood Elves Eternals get unleashed onto the the invaders of the Heartwood. The Eternal Heroes were once great elf heroes resurrected to continue their guard. The Eternal Elder is the up close and personal type, using claws and heavy weapons to engage foes, while the Eternal Spell Weaver transforms the energies of the woods into powerful magic that helps both elf and eternal alike. The Eternal Revenants are solders of the forest come back to enact vengeance on those that destroyed them. Armed with Claws, Blades or Bows they return to battle in what ever role suited them best in life. The Eternal Hunters were allowed to grow for much longer to have a larger stature and sturdier shell. Most of their weapons reflect their skill in past lives, but they may take up the scythe and embody the role of the reaper, their enemies being the chosen harvest. The Eternal Guardian is a mass of chitin and carapace, an awe to behold. Large Hammers and Glaives benefit it's new post as protector of the forest and it's people.

Casualties are a price to pay for the Human Defense Force, which is why in March they refresh their ranks with new Recruits. Not yet seasoned soldiers, they have simple armaments, just standard combat rifles, which they'll learn to use in the field. While they may not be heroes now, the combat experience will turn them into proper soldiers of the HDF. The Munitioner comes bearing gifts for his units in the form of every available type of ammunition they desire, improving piercing effectiveness against heavier armored units. The Armored Truck is an efficient all terrain gun platform. Strong like a tank, but made for more urban environments it can pack quite a lot of light arms firepower into it's frame. It's also able to be sequestered with troop transport options for taking small squads more reliably into battle. HDF Walkers are heavily armored mobile platforms made for taking on larger threats to humanity. The Tactical Walker is equipped with an arsenal of heavy ranged firepower, taking out targets from afar while protected by it's own mass. The Combat Walker uses it's bulk as a weapon, employing energy weapons and close range firepower to disturb beyond enemy lines.

Also in March, A friend of the Wood Elves weavers, descends to help defend the forest. The Great Owl Chimera is a legendary beast of beauty in the woods. To be in it's presence is both majestic and terrifying, as it's great horns and heavy claws make it as deadly as it is divine. On large yet silent wings it'll swoop in and stomp on it's prey beneath large talons. It's chimeric nature allowing it to regenerate wounds so that it can continue to assault those that dare attack it's magnificence.

That's it for now, happy wargaming!
