Warlord Games Unveils February’s Soldier of Fortune

Daniel Kling Lorentsen — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 10:03:00 +0000

Every month, Warlord Games has a special figure that they release in their webshop. It’s a new month, so that means a new figure. This one’s for Konflikt ’47. Check out this new heavy trooper.

From the article:

Germany was one of the first nations to use rift tech in the development of heavy personal armour. Its effectiveness swiftly led to the principles being copied by other nations, sometimes to better effect. Nevertheless, the Wehrmacht heavy infantry remain a potent and feared force to encounter on the battlefields of Konflikt ’47. Nachladen!, our Soldier of Fortune for February 2023 is a brand new sculpt, depicting one of these well-equipped soldiers mid-reload!

Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics Video Game Up On Kickstarter

Daniel Kling Lorentsen — Wed, 07 Feb 2018 16:47:00 +0000

Modiphius has teamed up with Ripstone and Auroch Digital to bring the world of Acthung! Cthulhu to your video screens. The alternate-history WWII game where Cthulhu-mythos creatures come flooding into our own world is getting the full digital treatment. And as part of the campaign, they’re looking to bring you new items for the tabletop game as well (plus, as add-ons, you can get quite a lot of things from the tabletop game). Acthung! Cthulhu Tactics is up on Kickstarter now.

From the Kickstarter

In the Achtung! Cthulhu universe, a band of Allied heroes fight the Secret War against the Nazi Black Sun and their rivals Nachtwolfe. The Nazi factions have turned to the ancient and terrible powers of the Mythos, weaponizing evil to win the war. This move is starting to yield results as, powered with ancient secrets and terrible Mythos allies, Black Sun and Nachtwolfe are on the verge of unleashing terrible weapons upon the Allied forces. It is your job to stop them – by any means necessary.

In the spirit of Allied cooperation, Auroch Digital has teamed with the creators of Achtung! Cthulhu, Modiphius and indie publisher Ripstone to bring this award-winning tabletop RPG to a computer screen near you!

The campaign is up and running now. It’s set to go for another 25 days.
