In this weekend’s XLBS Batman and Beasts of War
come together as we take a look at the trailer for the
Dark Knight’s latest foray into video games with Batman Arkham Origins
and what this could mean for Knight Models DC line,
as well as giving you guys the latest news on Inheritance!

We hope you’re having a great weekend already and to
kick things off we’ve got another run down of the best
tabletop moments from this week including Spartan
Scenics and the rise of the Dystopian Wars Ottoman
Empire!

Time for more from the
DreadBall Academy as
Warren and James face off in
another game of DreadBall!

Warren just pointed me in the direction of some
news on Gizmodo which is
sure to bring out the
childish geek in all of us.

Kicking things off we have The Guild Riflemen & Izamu, and The Armour for Malifaux with the lovely Kat.
Mike then joins us to get a peek at the new light Warjacks for the Retribution of Scyrah. Then James joins us to check out the Báo troops and Penthesilea,
the Amazon Warrior for Infinity.

Dreamforge have put up a whole bunch of previews for their new heavily armed troop transport, the Eisenkern APC.

A pair of daring new mercenaries will be appearing for Torn World, a duo of adventurers known only as Buckles and Sebastian.

Don’t underestimate them just because they’re a hare and a monkey. If there is one thing Brian Jacques taught me as a kid it is that you don’t want to cross a hare in a fight.

Time for a little cheese from the World
of Infinity, as Swampy rolls out one of
his variations on a well established
Nomads tactic. Is it cheese or simply par
for the course when your playing the faction?

This June sees Spartan Games head off in a new
direction with their products, namely their
new range of HDF and acrylic terrain which
they are calling Spartan Scenics!

The graceful ships of the Ottoman Empire have set sail from Spartan Games and are joining the naval battles for national supremacy in Dystopian Wars.

Romain moves on to the next major step in
painting up his little Colette miniature. It’s
now time to paint the dress on this lovely
little cabaret girl!

For those of you who do not already know, the last couple of years have seen probably the best super-hero video games ever made, namely Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. Now we have had our first glimpse at the next instalment; Arkham Origins!

Time for more from our Warmachine masters as Mike
is joined in the studio by Kev to have a look at
expanding the forces of the mighty Protectorate
of Menoth!

Exciting news to all you fans of cult retro style sci-fi as Mantic Games are teaming up with the Topps Company
to create a new miniature wargame based around none other than the popular Mars Attacks franchise!
