Legions Imperialis – Spartan Assault Tanks
On Tuesday, we discussed the Land Raider Proteus Explorator, and today, we will introduce its larger counterpart: the Spartan Assault Tank for Legions Imperialis.
We saw the plastic kit of this model in 2022, and last year the Spartan Assault Tanks were added to Legions Imperialis as a squadron of four vehicles, with an RRP of 31.50 GBP / €41 EUR.
Legions Imperialis – Land Raider Proteus Explorator Squadron
In anticipation of the upcoming releases for Legions Imperialis, we are going to fill some gaps in our reviews, beginning with the Land Raider Proteus.
The iconic Space Marine vehicle is available in Legions Imperialis as a Land Raider Proteus Explorator Squadron of six vehicles at a RRP of 31,50 GBP / 41 EUR.
July 2025 review
Now that we have entered the third quarter of this year, let's take a quick look back at July. July saw some major events.
Unfortunately, the German Stormbringer subscription has come to an end. Thank you again to Hachette for supplying us with the issues for our coverage. We enjoyed writing about it and giving it a try.
However, we won't be covering Combat Patrol here. This is not because it is not an interesting magazine, but because a lot of the content has already been covered here, especially with the extensive Warhammer 40,000 Leviathan coverage. As the German edition is published after the international one, there is little novelty value from a content creator's point of view, and we would be referring our readers to articles we published in 2023.
Warhammer – The Big Summer Preview Show 2025 Part 1
The Big Summer Preview Show was held on Friday of the Warhammer Open Tacoma weekend. And this certainly deserves the name BIG Summer PREVIEW, as this was not just a few teasers but a proper motherlode of upcoming releases. And they started the preview just like we do our podcast - what did you recently hobby did you do?
We're going to go through the announcements not in chronological order, but split into the Grim Dark of Warhammer 40k and 30k in part 1 and the Warhammer Fantasy systems in part 2.
Star Wars Shatterpoint – Requesting Your Surrender Squad Pack
We're sticking with the Asmodee/Atomic Mass Games product range, but changing the setting to Star Wars. This is the second Shatterpoint squad pack we have covered on here, after Wisdom of the Council. The Requesting Your Surrender squad pack for the Galactic Republic includes Jedi Master Kit Fisto, his Padawan Nahdar Vebb, and three Clone Troopers, including Commander 'Fil' CC-3714.
The SWP37 Requesting your Surrender Squad Pack has an RRP of 59,99 USD and contains five miniatures for the game.
- Jedi Master Kit Fisto
- Padawan Nahadr Vebb
- Three Clone Troopers, including Commander "Fil" CC-3714
Similar to the ARF Troopers we covered for Star Wars: Legion, these figures are part of the Clone Wars timeframe. Asmodee/Atomic Mass Games' Star Wars games both cover two timeframes: they both take place in the Star Wars universe, but are divided roughly into the Clone Wars era (22 to 19 BBY — Before the Battle of Yavin) and the Galactic Civil War era (4 BBY to 5 ABY).
Star Wars Legion – ARF Troopers Unit Expansion
As part of the new releases from the AdeptiCon Roadmap, there are lots of new plastic kits, including the ARF Trooper Unit Expansion of the Galactic Republic for Star Wars: Legion.
The box contains eight miniatures: a Jedi Knight and seven ARF Troopers, one of whom is armed with an RPS-6 Launcher and the others with DC-15A blasters. The RRP is 55 USD.
ARF stands for Advanced Recon Force, and their squad is led by a Jedi Knight — a male Zabrak, similar to Agen Kolar or Eeth Koth.
The Star Wars games by Asmodee/Atomic Mass Games cover two time periods: both take place in the Star Wars universe, but are divided roughly into the Clone Wars era (22–19 BBY, or Before the Battle of Yavin) and the Galactic Civil War era (4–5 ABY, or After the Battle of Yavin).
It is not uncommon for tabletop wargames to be divided into different time periods; for example, World War II rule sets such as Flames of War and Bolt Action are also divided into early, (sometimes) mid and late war.
Gaslands – 3d printed items
With the deadline on the access to my 3d printer, I am going through the different project that are in need of attention of 3d printed items. And one of the system that is on that schedule, is Gaslands!
While I do have the cars, the question is - what else do I need? I do have the upgrade sprues that Northstar offers, I have the dice and in terms of core game items, am only missing the tokens and templates.
But beyond that, I need mostly terrain:
- Barriers
- Stacks of Cars (considering just buying a cheap set of Matchbox cars and smashing them in a vice)
- Something to mark the gates / check points
- Pieces to convert the vehicles
Marvel Crisis Protocol – Inhuman Royal Court
Today, we will be reviewing the fourth box in our Marvel Crisis Protocol series: the CP166 Inhuman Royal Court.
This affiliation pack, CP166 Inhuman Royal Court, has an RRP of 64,99 USD and contains four miniatures.
As the Inhumans were not as prominent or successful in the MCU — they "only" had a TV series that was cancelled after one season — I would like to briefly introduce the Royal Court. They are the ruling body of the Inhumans, a genetically advanced offshoot of humanity created by the Kree. Residing in the hidden city of Attilan, the Royal Court governs their isolated and highly stratified society. Each member plays a unique role, balancing political, philosophical and military responsibilities, and protecting Inhuman culture and interests from outside threats.
If you have access to Disney+, you can stream the TV show there.
The set includes the following items:
June 2025 review
Half time for 2025! And it is time for a recap of June.
Even with the few holidays and bridging days, it was quite busy. Especially in combination with heat since the mid of the month. My son and I did a trip to the Limes Fortlet and Watchtower in Pohl. You can find the visit on the blog, and it will certainly not be the last trip report you'll see here this year. Looking forward with the kids getting older, to check out some sights like Teutoburger Wald, Niederwalddenkmal and Völkerschlachtdenkmal.
One activity was clearing out my studio. Sorting items and projects that I no longer follow and mostly reducing my terrain collection. Among those items for example is the Pegasus Hobbies Gothic City, of which I have five sets here. I'll publish a trade post on here, with various bundles and lots, as I want to free up space.
Marvel Crisis Protocol – Guardians of the Galaxy
We've already shown you two Guardians of the Galaxy here: CP126 Yondu and Nova. Now it's time to cover the Guardians of the Galaxy Affiliation Pack CP222, which features three well-known Guardians and Cosmic Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider? Yes, but more on that later.
The CP222 Guardians of the Galaxy Affiliation Pack has a RRP of 64.99 USD and contains four miniatures from the Guardians of the Galaxy affiliation. The other Guardians are currently not available and are probably in schedule for a redesign (CP16 - Gamora & Nebula and CP20 - Drax and Ronan)
The set includes the following items:
