Well, the funding effort is, anyway. Check out the total in the ad over there on the right. Two-thirds of the way there! The deadline is at the end of March. We just need $100 to make it.

I guess 3D is the latest craze in movie theaters (though it seems gimmicky to me, just like it did in the 80s). Harrowing Halls, the latest set of Dungeon Tiles from Wizards of the Coast, makes the jump from two to three dimensions as well, but you don’t need uncomfortable plastic glasses to enjoy [...]

Look over there on the right — see the Project: Death Race Kickstarter ad? Check out the current funding level. We’re almost halfway there!

Purple Pawn has an excellent article up about Iron Wind Metals, maker of fine metal minis. Not only does it include cool inside info (and photos) on the making of the minis, but an in-depth chronology dating back to 1975 and the creation of Ral Partha. The decades in between are a twisting labyrinth of [...]

Privateer Press has announced an official release date, price and contents list of the Monsterpocalypse Voltron set.

How is the fund-raising drive for Project: Death Race going? Well, you can see over to the right that it’s off to a slow start. But there’s more than a month to go, so don’t despair. Here’s how you can help.

Robot Viking contributor ggodo (aka Billy Gibbs) returns this week with part 2 of his review of the new 5th edition Tyranids for Warhammer 40K. In this edition, he covers the brand new units introduced to the Tyranid faction. Don’t forget to check out Part 1!

Project: Death Race has been stalled for months now simply because I haven’t had the time to dedicate to revising, testing, rerevising and retesting the rules to push them toward a completed form. So we’re going to try something a little different: a funding drive! Well, we couldn’t really have a bake sale…

Robot Viking commenter ggodo (aka Billy Gibbs — no, not the dude from ZZ Top, that’s Billy Gibbons) unleashes a horde of hideous alien warriors on us today with his review of the latest Tyranid Codex for Warhammer 40K. The review is so intense we had to break it into two parts just so you [...]

Whatever happened to the Voltron Monsterpocalypse set that was supposed to come out in early 2010? Robot Viking dug deep to find out. This is serious investigative journalism, people!

Privateer Press has a new expansion for Monsterpocalypse ready to hit game stores in April. Big in Japan will take the collectible miniatures game back to its kaiju roots, letting the giant monsters and robots attack Tokyo in the manner of their forefathers.

The latest expansion for the Star Wars Miniatures game, The Dark Times, comes out next month. Aside from Boushh, Ubese Hunter, what else can you expect to find in the set? Alien scouts, Gungan bounty hunters, and the (in)famous General Veers back when he was just a Major. Check out our gallery of minis and [...]

Boushh’s reputation as brutal, calculating bounty hunter with a psychotic streak wasn’t the least bit diminished by the fact that he was successfully impersonated by a princess. Honest.

It’s been far too long since the days of breathless anticipation and constant page refreshing as we waited for each new preview figure from whatever HeroClix set was upcoming. On November 18, HeroClix will be reborn as Wizkids/NECA releases the first HeroClix set in more than a year.
