Upcoming releases: and this is only the beginning!

Well, Rackham has updated their release schedule through July and there are lots of really cool things on the horizon. I was going to post about each of them individually but since there are so many, I decided to put up one month at a time. So without further ado, on with the show!

The first should be coming out at the end of February, the Kaptars attachment box with the sniper rifle. Like the Karmans are not nasty enough, now they will have snipers as well! Argh...
Next up are the March releases. The UNA will get some love this month with the release of three new/updated units for their army.
The Fire Toad with winter paint scheme may seem like it is just re-releasing an old idea, but in fact it comes with a nice little bonus. This Fire Toad actually has all of the weapons and stat cards for all of the variant of the Toad. You want a Lancelot? No problem! Feel more like a Iron Rain this mission? You got it! This is a long overdue improvement in my opinion, though I wish they would do the same thing with the Golgoth...

Next up are the Shock Troopers. I must admit that I don't know much about them, but from what I recall they are basically a type of assault troop. Equipped with grav packs that let the jump over terrain, they can quick close with an enemy to engage them in close combat!

Next up is the Shock TacArms which I actually know even less about. : ) From the looks of the mini, it seems like they are equipped with a flamer in one hand and some kind of close combat weapon in the other. And is that a grav pack on its back? Eesh. That does not look like it would be fun to face off against...

Next the Karmans get some monkey love (had to be said...) with the addition of the K-warriors. Equipped with the massive K-suit and two equally massive mortars on their back, this unit will let the Karmans start raining death on their opponents with indirect fire. Stand by to be knocked down...

The last release planned for March is the Kaptar attachment box with ZZ-cannons. Can you say big gun that makes big holes in anything it hits? I knew you could...

And is this all? Not by any means. Well, actually yes, this is all that is being released in March but hold onto your hats cause there is more on the way!
