I'll also need your gun and your badge.

**Fenrir Kitsune**

That settles the background question which was my "wha?" moment with it. Still prefer the normal command crawler, I think.

Star Wars is rubbish BTW.

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Was Jaws never your thing as well?

I am wondering what the main differences will be between the standard and rebel Ghar army lists? An army full of rebellious critters in lethal tin cans is very enticing to me.

**Fenrir Kitsune**

Jaws? No, I'm galeophobic and it'd be impossible.

I'm waiting for the rebel book to arrive. Fitted my backstory just right.

So... would you say that Jaws was never your scene and you don't like Star Wars?

Please remain on topic, the subject of which is Gates of Antares and not your taste in film.

While he may have missed the reference, he has a point.

Topic, folks

**Fenrir Kitsune**

The rebel command are nice, but interesting they still have a maglash. Where'd the pic come from?

And also news of the global Xilos Campaign:

http://www.warlordgames.com/incoming-beyond-the-gates-of-antares-online-campaign

"In conjunction with the release of the new ‘The Battle for Xilos‘ narrative supplement for Beyond the Gates of Antares, we’re working with our friends over at Beasts of War on a massive multiplayer online campaign where you can post the results of your tabletop battles and try to affect the overall course of the war – due to run from 18th June to 30th July.

And the most exciting thing is – the outcome of the online campaign will be written into the history of the universe and become part of the official history – written-up by none other than Rick Priestley… so this really is a chance to make your mark, and shape the universe of Beyond the Gates of Antares.

Teaser Screenshot:

Every Antares player can join in, whatever your army – when the campaign starts you’ll sign up by registering your faction and coming up with a name for your force. After that you’ll just need to play loads of battles and report back!

Note that the majority of narrative scenarios in ‘The Battle for Xilos’ supplement use 750pt forces – so now’s the perfect time to begin list-writing, or even recruiting a brand new force with which to explore the battlefields of Xilos…"

**Fenrir Kitsune**

Shipping confirmation for the supplement arrived. Couple of days and it is mine!

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Outcast Rebel Command Squad:

Ghar Rebel Black Guard:

Fartok:

Characters:

**judgedoug**

man, the Tsan Ra are incredibly awesome.

**Warhams-77**

Thanks,Thraxas Of Turai! The drop pods look good. The alternate Ghar faction is what I was waiting for, nice models. Edit: The Algoryn Commander is great imo, and I now like his cape+banner seeing it from a different angle.

**Fenrir Kitsune**

Argh, my book still isn't here. I want it and I want it now!

The tsan ra are lovely and alien. Some good gak in there, jah?

**volume**

A better shot of the Tsan Ra appeared on the Warlord Instagram page this morning

**RobertsMinis**

Lots of new goodies released today!

**judgedoug**

Immediately ordered the Algoryn drop pods and medic team to go with the Xilos campaign book! Very excited by the spate of new releases.

The Xilos Gulper is out this week, looks like a lovely resin piece to me http://us-store.warlordgames.com/collections/new-releases/products/xilos-gulper

£20/ $32US

**Warhams-77**

Nice model

**RobertsMinis**

Lovely paint job as well!

**jah-joshua**

@RobertsMinis: of course it is, Kirsten is an ex 'Eavy Metal painter

@Fenrir Kitsune: how are you liking the new book???

to be honest, the only model in the whole range that is a true "must have" for me, so far, is Hansa...
a Kev White sculpts meets a Tommie Soule paint job???
yes, please

i really want to recreate that scheme...
i'm not sold on the Techno Barbarian homie that comes with Hansa, so i'll just use some store credit to pick the pack up, and not feel like i am buying a mini i don't want, just to get one that i do...

nice to see that this is taking off for Rick, after the early stumble out of the gate...
good on him...

cheers
jah

The current online campaign (The Battle for Xilos) is one of the coolest things I've seen for a miniatures game in quite a while. It's very fun to participate in.
