Today is Remembrance Day. It can feel strange writing about wargaming on such a day, but that doesn't stop the fact that wargaming is one of the ways to understand the sacrifices of the past. This week's edition of the News Stand covers a wide variety of the usual folks, over on ChargeBlog.

We're into November, the weather is getting increasingly grim. Tis' the season to break out the paints, settle down in a comfortable chair and focus on painting up all those figures. Or, slightly easier, sitting down with this week's edition of The News Stand, available now on ChargeBlog!

This week's post might be a little on the brisk side, as I'm in the middle of a busy time at work. However, that doesn't stop me from bringing the news in the Spookiest of seasons, and it seems a few of the usual companies are in the right mood for it. Find out more on ChargeBlog!

Yesterday, I said something I regretted. I was looking at the news and going "huh, a bit quiet this week". I should have learned by now. Stand by for a packed edition of the News Stand, featuring news, previews and more!

Two more Combat Octopus models painted (although needing basing) - recent Navy SEALs release but in an Iraqi DOF style for a local partner force. These four are using the non-modular figures included, making them easy to get printed and started (modular fun comes later).

Well, after an unplanned delay from last week due to a traffic incident (I'm okay, my car's side door is less so), we're now back with a Bumper Edition of the News Stand. Two weeks of news means double the releases, previews, updates and more! Oh, and the Kickstarters. So many Kickstarters.

Hey everyone.
Yep, it's one of those weeks. Due to real-life stuff, I'm not going to get the News Stand done today. I'm going to bump it to next week for a double bill of news from the Ultramodern wargaming world.

We're at the end of September, and it's time for a wrap-up. I think this is the shortest News Stand I've done for a while, but the quality bar remains pretty high. We have Spectre, BobMack3D, Echo Dark Studios and Modern Miniatures bringing all we need to keep things exciting. Read up on ChargeBlog!

Ah yes. my yearly Necromunda day - this year it's time for Enforcers (including the Upgrade kit that was technically recalled).
Now, let's see how much I can get ready before the next Necromunda day...

We're reaching the end of September, and this week is a little bit quiet. However, quiet doesn't mean dead - we've got updates from Spectre, Austin Miniatures, BobMack3d, Flank March Miniatures, Miska Miniatures, Combat Octopus AND Wargames Atlantic. Heck, we even have a sale from Desk-Ops!

We had our first proper Autumn weekend, meaning it's time - welcome to hobby season! The good news is that the Ultramodern community has been hard at work giving us things to play with when it's too wet to go outside. Stalkers, Cuban soldiers, a meth lab and more in this edition of The News Stand!

Last night's painting work - finishing off my power fist equipped (and campaign MVP) Orrus. I might do a few tweaks on her (mostly to brighten up the hair in a reference to a certain other lady with two power fists) but for now, she'll be the leader of my Secundian Incursion Enforcers in the future.

It's the last News Stand of the summer, as by the time we next talk, it will be September. As you might expect from the last News Stand of the month, we have plenty of previews and releases - Kickstarters coming, Patreons being prepared, all the latest and greatest for Ultramodern Wargaming.
