So unless I've missed it, we don't have a Gencon thread so -- here it is! If you're there or you spot some news by a firm promoting stuff - post it up!
And by all means if you're there having a great time and taking photos share them - so we can see costumes and tables and stuff

Monolith is making a L5R boardgame licensed from FFG.
Monolith is delighted to announce one of our next boardgames, 𝘓𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 5 𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴: 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘙𝘰𝘬𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘯 !
This world from Fantasy Flight Games is one of our favorites and will be the setting for a cooperative miniatures game featuring the greatest heroes of Rokugan and the unholy hordes of the Shadowlands. You and your friends can change the course of history in brutal battles between warring samurai clans, and set out on legendary quests to prevent an ancient evil from conquering the Emerald Empire.
If you are attending Gen Con, you can learn more about this world and even discover the first miniatures from the 𝘓𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 5 𝘙𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 game at booth 8029. Let the Clan Wars begin!

When this launches on Kickstarter I know several people...including myself...who will be going in whole hog. I still have a ton of painted Clan War minis (mostly Crab and Naga) so they may finally see use again!

This will part of Monolith's new policy that things only go to Kickstarter when everything is approved and ready to start manufacturing so you'll never have to wait more than a year (and ideally much less) to get the product.

I am eternally mixed up between Mythic and Monolith, especially since they had some overlap between the two.
That said, how could I not be interested in new L5R figures? I'm still sad that Privateer didn't do more with their license at the time, or go back and modify some of the minicrate sculpts to offer them up as made to order and possibly get me to double dip on them.
Ah well.
Facebook is starting to have a lot of the Wave 4 plastic previews from Kingdom Death showing up. Not my pictures, but considering I'm painting my Gambler's Chest stuff, there's a bit more of a glimmer of hope that we'll see this stuff on our tables sooner rather than later, especially as the plastics are supposedly done for a lot of these models.
That's the new(ish) Dung Beetle Baron on either a 100 or 120mm base, along with new armor kits based around him I'm assuming, which are part of the Campaigns of Death- which started as a book expansion and ballooned into multiple new monster sculpts and armor sets as well.

New L5R minis sounds potentially very cool, but for me the key question is what scale they will be.

So far everything Monolith has done is 30-32mm.

Holy crap! GI Joe is getting the axis and Allie’s treatment! 110 different miniatures! Closest to a miniatures game so far but I’ll take it 👍

Renegade Game Studios is thrilled to announce G.I. JOE: Battle for the Arctic Circle, which will be powered by the Axis & Allies gameplay engine, under license by toy and game company Hasbro. This match made in heaven will allow fans to play as the G.I. JOE or Cobra in a fight for control of the Arctic Circle.
The game will feature over 110 figures, including: the Snow Cat, W.O.L.F., Skystriker, and Rattler. The game will also introduce new strategic options that commanders may employ, such as using the Weather Dominator to freeze the sea to block pathways or create strategic land bridges. Players can expect to deploy troops in 2024.

.
I'd like to be optimistic but then I remember they had the Gambler model at GenCon 2018. It's never been the plastics that have slowed down production.

Makes me think about the Robot Chicken "documentary" sketch about the weather dominator
