• Press Gangers return — Running an event? You’re a Press Ganger, get the latest on the Press Ganger Programme

• Caine joins the Gravediggers — May’s MiniCrate puts Allister Caine in Gravedigger fatigues, beret included, with subscriptions open until midnight on May 27

• Warmachine 3D changes shift — It’s your last chance to grab April’s collection before May reels in the all-new Thornfall Alliance Farrow Chainbelchers

Rise the Ashen Phoenix

Deep in the shadows of Dusk House Kallyss, Imperatus, Ashen Phoenix is re-emerging next week to make a glorious return to battle.

Once a noble guardian of Ios, Imperatus has been reforged into a destructive eldritch super heavy warjack. Thermal blades, shoulder-mounted missile pods, and a rebuilt Phoenix Protocol engine make this 80mm super heavy warjack a formidable weapon for House Kallyss.

Imperatus engages Phoenix Protocols on May 5. Get full rules for Imperatus on the Warmachine App. If you’re ready to bring a legend back from the ashes, now’s the time to prepare your army list.

Warmachine 3D — Harpoons and hellfire incoming 

Your Warmachine 3D subscription this May is charging in tusks-first.

The Farrow Chainbelchers are leading the way, bringing a new Thornfall Alliance unit of mechanically augmented cavalry boars armed with harpoons and Mechano Fists. Yes, that’s every bit as dangerous as it sounds. 

You too can put their reckless danger into play, check out how Warmachine Loremaster Sherwin pits his pigs onto the battlefield in the latest tactica.

May’s Warmachine 3D collection also brings Infernal defences and objective markers to taint your tabletop with hellish menace, plus the crystalline Khymaera Shadowflame Shard Terrain Set for players looking to turn their battlefields into glittering obsidian lairs.

Want more? Don’t forget, if you’re a subscriber, you get 50% off STLs in the Warmachine 3D store on MyMiniFactory.

Still not subscribed? Don’t miss out. Subscribe to Warmachine 3D and claim the April collection before it retreats to the vault on midnight April 30, 23:59 BST.

Trencher threads never looked so good — MiniCrate

May’s MiniCrate is here, and sees the esteemed Cygnar gunslinger Allister Caine don the trencher fatigues and gunmage beret in a fashionable new gravedigger variant.

Playable in both Cygnar Storm Legion and Gravediggers, if you want Caine leading your games, make sure you’re subscribed between April 28 and midnight on May 27. You’ll secure this sculpt for shipping in late June and continue to receive a fresh, exclusive miniature every month.

Until next week

That’s all for this week, commanders. Imperatus is almost ready to rise, the Press Gangers are ready to rally, Caine’s found himself a beret, and Warmachine 3D is going from April’s fortresses to May’s harpoon-hurling hogs.
