Just in the process of ramping things up and sorting out my show schedule for 2010. Full details should be available by the end of November but hopefully Albanich & Crusade in January; Vapnartak & Cavalier in February; Warrior Bazaar, Overlord and WMMS in March.
In addition I am also hoping to organise a few tournaments at some of these shows and sponsor tournaments at other shows.

Privateer Press have released details of the first Forces of WARMACHINE book, which will be released in early 2010:
Known as the Jewel of the Iron Kingdoms, the great nation of Cygnar is beset by enemies on all sides. Against these threats stands the elite army of the Cygnus, including battle-hardened trenchers, deadly long gunners, and the legendary Storm Knights, warriors whose weapons bristle with lightning. Armed with the most advanced mechanika in the Iron Kingdoms, the stalwart and courageous soldiers of Cygnar stand resolute against those who seek to destroy their beloved homeland.
Take up the fight for the Cygnus with Forces of WARMACHINE: Cygnar, featuring:
• Complete faction rules and profiles for using all current Cygnar models in WARMACHINE Mk II.
• New troops to bring to the fight, plus the all-new warcaster Captain Kara Sloan.
• An in-depth look at the history and structure of Cygnar’s military.
• A painting and modeling guide to help you ready your forces for battle.
• Cygnar Theme Force lists and rules, which allow you to create armies based on specialized forces from the nation of Cygnar.

The Ancible will be launched in November. A full-colour 84-page magazine it will cover an eclectic mix of Sci Fi and Fantasy wargames.
Issue One will contain a WARMACHINE battle report. I will certainly be subscribing as I think ventures like this deserve the support of the wargaming community during their launch. If it is good I’ll resubscribe. When Forge Games restarts next year I’ll probably use The Ancible to advertise the shop.

Seems like the next WOW Minis expansion won’t be until 2010:
“World of Warcraft Miniatures Game Fans,
Please know that we read all of your posts.
Due to production issues, we are currently exploring new production partners in China for WoW Minis. Unfortunately, this has resulted in delays in product and promotional items that will push our release dates into 2010. WoW Minis are unlike any other pre-painted miniature ever released. Finding a partner that can meet and maintain our high standards while delivering a competitive price point to our fans has been a challenge.
We regret any inconvenience or frustration this may cause.
Sincerely,
Margeaux Sullivan
World of Warcraft Miniatures Game Brand Manager.”

Versh is presently an IK RPG mini – I wonder if we will see the entire IK RPG line converted to WM/H over the next few months? Hope so, as there are lots of great minis in this line.
