Weaver Courts Launch for Conquest with a Full Wave of New Miniatures

Weaver Courts Launch for Conquest with a Full Wave of New Miniatures

Para Bellum Games is unleashing the Weaver Courts on November 25, and the faction arrives with an entire slate of new units, creatures, and eerie fae constructs. From the Scaile Dancers’ shimmering violence to the haunting glow of the Will-o’ Wisps, this release marks the Weaver Courts’ true entry into Conquest.

TL;DR

The Weaver Courts debut with a full launch lineup on November 25, including elite dancers, monstrous Draics, spectral Wisps, and armored court-knights. This wave introduces a fast, deadly, supernatural faction steeped in eerie Summer-Court energy.

  • Five new releases, all shipping November 25

  • Mix of elite melee, spectral support, and monstrous attackers

  • Strong crossover potential as Fey in Chronicle skirmish play

The New Releases

Will-o’ Wisps

Floating fae spirits woven from light and misdirection. In Conquest, they appear as support and disruption pieces, guiding units or luring enemies out of position. They’re ideal for narrative scenarios or supernatural encounters in skirmish-scale play.

Scoth Draic & Coill Draic

A dual-kit featuring two very different fae beasts.
The Scoth Draic embodies twisted woodland hunger, prowling with predatory grace.
The Coill Draic leans into the Court’s vibrant but dangerous Summer energy.
Both add a monstrous presence perfect for mid-sized skirmish battles.

Scaile Dancers

Iridescent wings, insectlike eyes, and whip-swords define these elite fae duelists. They slice through light infantry with impossible speed, dancing through enemy lines before slipping away. Their fragility keeps them high-risk, high-reward. In Chronicle, they slot perfectly as Fey blade-dancers or elite trickster warriors.

Gemred Knights

Heavy armor meets shimmering fae aesthetics. These warriors offer the Weaver Courts a more durable hammer unit compared to the Dancers’ precision. Their crystalline armor and ornate weapons help anchor charges or hold objectives.

Why This Matters for Skirmish Gamers

The Weaver Courts bring a high-mobility, high-style faction built around supernatural trickery and Summer-Court violence. Their sculpts have dynamic posing, unusual silhouettes, and a fae-creature look rarely seen in rank-and-flank games.

For Gangfight and Chronicle, this entire release wave is perfect for building a Fey warband.
The Dancers work as elite assassins, the Knights as armored fae guardians, the Wisps as support spirits, and the Draics as monstrous centerpieces. The aesthetic cohesion makes them an easy drop-in for any fae-themed campaign or skirmish map.

These models broaden the palette for hobbyists who want supernatural forces without leaning into undead or demons—bringing a folklore-driven style that feels both fresh and dangerous.

Brigands of Arja Kickstarter Live – New Fantasy Game

Brigands of Arja Kickstarter Live – New Fantasy Game

The fantasy skirmish game arrives with campaign play, monster cards and small, story-driven warbands.

TL;DR

The Brigands of Arja Kickstarter is now live and fully funded.
• Warbands of 3–6 miniatures designed for fast one-hour skirmish sessions.
• Includes monster cards, campaign rules and exclusive Kickstarter-only content.
• Great crossover potential for players who enjoy adaptable gang-based systems like Gangfight.

Firelock Games has officially launched the Kickstarter campaign for Brigands of Arja, and it has already reached its funding goal. The game focuses on compact fantasy warbands of three to six models, supported by a quick-play ruleset built around fast, one-hour battles.

The campaign system tracks a warband’s “infamy” across multiple games, giving players persistent progression without the complexity of larger wargame campaigns. Preview materials highlight high-detail miniatures, striking fantasy art and ready-to-use cards for monsters, characters and scenarios.

A Kickstarter-exclusive barbarian miniature is featured as part of the launch offerings, along with multiple pledge tiers aimed at both newcomers and experienced skirmish gamers. Everything is built for easy setup, fast play and replayable campaign structure.

Why It Matters for Skirmish Gamers

Brigands of Arja adds a fresh, streamlined fantasy option to the tabletop scene. With small model counts and short play times, the system fits perfectly into hobby nights or quick weekend sessions.

For Gangfight players, the warband structure mirrors our own system’s footprint. The miniatures and profiles can be easily adapted into custom gangs, letting players drop new fantasy characters into Chronicle or other settings without heavy conversion work.

Chaos Marauders Get a Brutal New Redesign

Chaos Marauders Get a Brutal New Redesign

The Chaos Marauders return to The Old World with a fresh wave of redesigned miniatures — and the design team explains the ideas behind their savage new look.

TL;DR

New Chaos Marauder models are on the way, featuring updated sculpts, brutal new weapon options, and a more grounded northern-tribal aesthetic.

  • Foot and mounted units both get expanded gear options.

  • The visual style leans into harsh-climate barbarism: furs, hides, crude iron.

  • Designers outline how the new look ties the Marauders deeper into Chaos lore.

The upcoming Chaos Marauder kits showcase a complete visual overhaul for one of the Old World’s most iconic warbands. The design team focused on making them feel like true raiders from the far-north — rugged survivalists wrapped in heavy furs and stitched hides, armed with rough-forged axes, flails, and spears.

The foot troops now feature more variety than older generations: hand weapons and shields for solid frontline fighters, flails for wild shock attacks, and hulking great weapons for players who want that full berserker vibe. Mounted Marauders follow the same brutal logic, equipped for fast raids and crippling charges.

Even at a glance, these are unmistakably northern reavers. Thick belts, scavenged trophies, chainmail patched with leather scraps — the whole kit sells the fantasy of tribes hardened by an unforgiving land. Fans who enjoy cinematic skirmish battles will appreciate how much personality each model carries.

Why It Matters for Skirmish Gamers

For Gangfight players, these kits are a natural fit. The Marauders already function as small, self-contained raiding parties, and the mix of melee weapon options makes it easy to build distinct specialists: a heavy hitter, a flail-swinging brawler, a mobile skirmisher, or a mounted outrider. Their gritty northern-tribal style also works nicely for fantasy frontier campaigns, dark-age settings, or Chaos-themed expansions of homebrew worlds.

Maggotkin of Nurgle Preview Reveals New Rot-Infested Miniatures for Age of Sigmar

Maggotkin of Nurgle Preview Reveals New Rot-Infested Miniatures for Age of Sigmar

A new preview from Games Workshop showcases the latest horrors of the Maggotkin of Nurgle, featuring new daemonic champions and grotesque warriors steeped in pestilence. Fans of the Grandfather’s garden will find plenty to fester over as these corrupted figures take center stage in the Mortal Realms.

TL;DR

Games Workshop revealed new Maggotkin of Nurgle miniatures for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, expanding the army’s bloated ranks with twisted, disease-ridden champions.

  • New daemonic and mortal models feature warped organic detail

  • Sculpted with Nurgle’s signature mix of rot, humor, and horror

  • Ideal for collectors, painters, or custom skirmish warbands

Spreading Decay Across the Realms

This new reveal focuses on Nurgle’s relentless gifts—bubbling flesh, ruptured armor, and oozing resilience. Each sculpt captures the disgusting vitality of Nurgle’s followers, from their rusted weapons to the writhing parasites crawling over their skin. These aren’t clean warriors—they’re walking contagions that revel in decay.

Painters will appreciate the chance to experiment with slime effects, cracked skin, and diseased color palettes. The mix of organic and armored textures makes these miniatures perfect for anyone looking to show off their brushwork—or their stomach for the grotesque.

Corruption for Your Skirmish Table

Beyond Age of Sigmar, these Maggotkin models fit naturally into small-scale games. In Gangfight, they’d make excellent stand-ins for mutants or corrupted crusaders—plague-ridden enforcers who spread the rot wherever they go. Their gritty, diseased aesthetic pairs perfectly with narrative campaigns or horror-themed settings, or the demon legions of Chronicle.

Expect these new Maggotkin to arrive soon in full, bringing another wave of beautifully disgusting detail to the Mortal Realms—and plenty of inspiration for your next skirmish warband.
