I want to get some and paint them pink so Space Farmer Brown can have bacon.

Surely you mean “batcon”.

Drones

Hmm... those are a bit uninspiring. Oh well, there are many other sources out there for drones.

Slaverbots

I like those. It's a shame those aren't part of the release bundle.

I think they are. The page lists gothreck and slaverbots under the collector release at least

Slaver bots can always be distinguished by their superfluous loincloths. Guard and Bounty bots never wear those.

I love the robot. I really wish we could get a multi-part plastic kit of that design.

Yeah, multipart robots in plastic would be awesome.

Ah but we know for a fact that the market for Landsknechts Ogres is bigger than the market for modular robots.

I still am not over this decision. Modular robots would have been huge. Plains war cavalry/tribal peoples/Apace would have done well. But no....Lo.

I am a bit surprised, er disappointed rather I think, about the loincloths. I am also disappointed that we are not getting a nicely pulp Robbie the Robot look-alike. Sigh. Still, I like the plastic kits. I am sure one day we will get a modular “build your own robot” kit… ever the optimist me.

Maybe theres still time to add robot heads to the modular Landshreck Ogre sprue?

Wheee, Last Hope just turned up today. Now to find some quiet time to read it.

Have we seen the full contents of the mercenary 2 sprue?

New supplement teased for next year. It’s called Side Hustle

Interesting, thought it might be the next supplement but it seems to be a deck of cards with additional missions and objectives.

Steve

Oh. I thought it was a new book. But as you said, it’s cards. Here’s a blerb I found.

A 40-card deck of special missions, plots, and objectives from which players can draw to add extra intrigue to their games.

The goal for most of the independent crews operating throughout the Ravaged Galaxy is that one big score that will set them up for life. Such scores are few and far between, so crews typically find themselves taking whatever jobs they can scrounge – anything for a quick credit. Anyone can sell an alien artefact or a set of neural-fuses, but smart captains know that there are myriad ways to turn a profit…

This expansion for Stargrave consists of 40 Side Hustle cards – missions, plots, and tasks that add variety, depth, and new tactical challenges to wargames in the Ravaged Galaxy. Each card presents a specific objective… and the rewards for achieving it. Some of these missions must be revealed, while others are kept secret. Is your crew attempting to insert a data virus into a key system? Locate a political prisoner? Uncover evidence of a secret scientific cabal? Every crew is out to grab some loot, but what's your captain's side hustle?

Sounds good. A simple way to add some more flavour.

Cover of Side Hustle

Is it a splatbook about making ends meed by releasing an endless treadmill of splatbooks?

and if they don't continuously put out new material, people say the game is dead or unsupported.

Publishers literally cannot win.

Sounds like the Stargrave version of the Ulterior Motives cards for Frostgrave. Mrs. GG and I quite like those cards so looking forward to this release.

Ulterior Motives makes Frostgrave significantly more fun, especially in bigger multiplayer games. I hope Side Hustle is as good!

Not the best cover art, but I like the idea. Has a Star Wars cantina feel to it. Also a nod to the cliche of tabletop RPGs, of adventures starting in a bar/tavern/saloon. "Your characters are drinking in the Drunken Dragon tavern, when a middle aged man approaches your table and asks if he may join you."

Hmm ... you may be right. Just have to wait until I get them in hand.

And yes, KidCthulhu is correct. Now that I have my Mercs II box, it is indeed a flamethrower with ribbed hose.

Also, the Hope Eternal scenarios call for 30" x 30" mats; does anyone have any recommendations as to where I should buy one?

They are great for all space scum, cultists, rebels etc.
