In the last of the preview/new releases from GZG for now, we have more Pan-African Union and Colonial Defense Force as well as new sculpts for the Japanese Coporate troops. For hard sci-fi fans this has been am assive windfall of new potential troops and additions to their forces.

Antenociti's Workshop teases upcoming Kickstater

By Harold

Hi Everyone,  I spied this piece of news on Antenociti's Workshop's facebook page:

Quick FYI: We will be running a Kickstarter in 2014 that will cover resin scenery (lots of it), MDF structures, Vehicles and figures.

More details sometime later, but i know that many have been waiting for us to make a decision one way or another.

So, if you have a hankering for some serious quantities of resin and terrain at great prices, save a bit of pocket money for early 2014.

While this will be stated for 28mm,  much of their scenery and items meant for 28mm work great for 15mm as well.

I also know they have some cool VTOLs and dropships in the works too.

Exciting news! Can't wait to see what they come out with.
