Coming August 28 from LRG Games, Skybound‘s Invincible, The Walking Dead, Birthright, and Excellence are coming to decks and tabletop with the OverPower TCG: Skybound set. It’s the biggest set the company has shipped since bringing OverPower back, and the first time the 30-year-old game has had a wide retail push since the original Marvel/DC era ended.
Skybound brings 36 new playable characters into the Modern format and slots in cleanly alongside Legacy decks for players who’ve been around since the beginning. As with every OverPower release, the cards are full-art from household names including Jae Lee, Joe Jusko, Marc Silvestri, Philip Tan, and Adam Kubert.
Marking OverPower’s widest retail release in over 30 years, this set will be available at local gaming and comic book stores in the US and Canada — as well as over 900 Best Buy and 1800 GameStop locations nationwide. The game saw a pre-release reveal during San Diego Comic-Con and Gen Con earlier this summer.
We have an exclusive reveal of five cards from the set featuring Negan and Maggie from The Walking Dead, Invincible, and more! The cards feature art by David Finch, Ryan Ottley, Andrei Bressan, Daniel Acuña, and Adam Kubert.

Snap Ships Tactics returns to Kickstarter with its biggest expansion yet: the Capital Ships Box, a set of construction parts and rules that lets players stretch their fleets to truly massive, multi-stand proportions. This one is for the builders.
Unlike a standard expansion, the Capital Ships Box isn’t a single ship with a fixed set of instructions. Instead, it’s a toolkit complete with new armoured plates, angled connectors, cards, and rules that let builders take the parts from their existing ships and scale them up into three-, four-, and five-stand behemoths with new mechanics and unique super-weapons. The Kickstarter campaign will provide tips and inspiration on how to build custom dreadnoughts.
The box is fully compatible with the rest of the Snap Ships Tactics line. Lead designer Josh Derksen built a three-stand battlecruiser (pictured above) from just a single Gladius kit, a single Trident kit, and one Capital Ships Box. These megaships will make incredible raid bosses for a squadron of fighters or a two-stand battleship to go up against.
Capital Ships use the new stand bridge connector included with all battleships, which can link stand bases in eight different directions. That means capital ships aren’t locked to one silhouette: builders can create long battle-lines, T-shapes, V-shaped flying wings, or even fully operational space stations.
The Capital Ships Box joins the previously announced battleship expansions — Trident, Gladius, Scorpion, and Hammerjaw — and a full reprint of the range, all part of a campaign that more than doubles the size of the award-winning tactical miniatures game and offers a variety of content for veterans of Snap Ships Tactics and new players alike.
What’s in the box
Each Capital Ships Box contains four copies of a full parts set, so players can scale up across their whole fleet:
56 armoured plates (28 per faction) in seven new sizes, for stretching and shaping hulls and nacelles
32 wedges — new double-sided 30-degree connectors for angled, less boxy builds
16 standard cubes for infrastructure
16 orange pegs
2 punchboards of new terrain and tokens, including crew
An additional Stand Bridge
A full set of chassis and part cards for designing capital ship layouts
Recruit – $99 – for new players – 2v2 or co-op: starter box + Scout Ships expansions + stand pack
Recruit Deluxe – $169 – 3v3 – adds Elite Ships and Swarm Box expansions plus an extra stand pack to the Recruit pledge
Veteran – $119 – for those who already have a starter box – includes all 4 new Battleships, printed Battleships Rulebook, and a Revised Core Rulebook
Veteran Deluxe – $199 – adds the Capital Ships box, AI cards, and 2 stand packs to the Veteran pledge
Admiral All-In – $349 – everything from the campaign – starter box + all expansions and three stand packs. Players can have 4v4 games, 4 battleships at once, or field a massive Capital Ship and 4 fighters (or any combination)
Dynamite Entertainment is uniting two legendary artistic families, as the realm ofFire and Icetransitions to the tabletop with a board game that allows fans to roleplay and enjoy its enchanting universe. Originally launched through crowdfunding on Kickstarter, the game will be available in retail stores this November for those who didn’t get a chance to back it earlier.
Fire and Ice hit theaters 40 years ago, marking a remarkable collaboration between animation pioneer Ralph Bakshi and the legendary fantasy artist Frank Frazetta. The screenplay was crafted by Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway. Now, Dynamite has revived this thrilling universe and its enigmatic characters in a new comic series, and the festivities carry on with this latest game.
In the realm of Fire and Ice, a delicate balance hangs between its various tribes and clans, but tensions escalate when Lord Nekron sets his sights on annihilating the kingdom of fire. His dark sorcery has summoned an unyielding glacier that obliterates everything it encounters, compelling many subjects under King Jarol to flee. The sound of war drums grows louder, and it will require the combined efforts of three extraordinary heroes — Princess Teegra, Larn the Warrior, and the enigmatic Darkwolf — to shift the balance of power.
Featuring a “tactical skirmish” design, the Fire and Ice game is ideal for two or more players. Participants embody the heroes of Firekeep as they battle the nefarious forces of Icepeak across multiple maps. With the use of cards, dice, and meticulously crafted figures, players can reenact the iconic battles from the rotoscoping animated classic. Furthermore, the game incorporates “Rules-Lite” mechanics, allowing adventurous players to either pursue their journey further or develop their own stories through roleplay.
The main game features a collection of miniatures, showcasing stunning designs of beloved characters like Darkwolf, Teegra, and Larn. And that’s not all! Supporters who pledge for the game during the initial days of the campaign will also get a special figure of the Subhuman Priestess.
In addition to the figures, the game contains a comprehensive rulebook, six character cards, 54 event cards, 12 activity cards, six 10-sided dice adorned with fire and ice motifs, over 200 token markers, and the four regional game boards.
Waaaargh! Orks are coming for Warhammer 40,000 with a new codex for the latest edition as well as a green tide’s worth of releases to build your army. For Warhammer: Age of Sigmar comes made to order Skaven and Middle-earth Strategy Game gets made to order Elves and Dwarves. See what’s coming for pre-order this coming week.
The latest edition of Warhammer 40,000 has been out for a few months and new codexes are starting to roll out. The first is Codex: Orks! It’s packed with new rules, lore, and artwork. It features 15 detachments to mix and match, plus an expanded Waaagh! army rule and datasheets for over 50 units.
Codex: Orks also includes a code to unlock access to the new rules in the Warhammer 40,000 app, and this time you get more than just a reference sheet. This code is an ongoing subscription to regular rules updates, additional detachments, new lore, and advanced hobby guides that will be added to the app.
Along with the standard codex, there’s also a Collector’s Edition. It features a full hardback cover and gold foil details, plus green foil page edges and a green ribbon page marker. The content inside is the same as the regular codex, and it’s only available while stocks last.
Nazdreg is finally getting a new proper figure! As a Bad Moons warlord of incredible wealth and one of Ork society’s greatest proponents of tellyporta technology, Nazdreg has amassed immense power and stands as one of the premier Ork warbosses around. He’s got plenty of brute strength and powerful weapons to back up his cunning mind, ranging from his vicious Moonchewa power klaw to the three-in-one firearm he carries known only as Kustom Blasta X.
The Orks are getting a generic Warboss they can customize to lead their forces. The kit comes with loads of customization options – he can be armed with a kustom choppa or power klaw, and kustom shoota, kombi-rokkit or kombi-skorcha. He also has numerous cosmetic options, including an attack squig, different boss pole toppers, and mix-and-match head and jaw options.
With so many cool vehicles, Orks will want a Mek to give them a quick fix in the field. They’re an important aide for hordes of clanking Dreads and roaring Ork vehicles, and the clever git has even brought his own crane to the battlefield for hasty repair jobs.
Ork hordes mean Ork Boyz. Each model carries a shoota, slugga, and choppa, so you can muck it up at whatever range has the best fighting, while three lucky Boyz can take a big shoota, rokkit launcha, and burna for extra firepower. The Nob gets an extra killy power klaw to strap to their arm too, because the biggest should always get the best weapons.
Warbikers rush in and blast away at the enemy. These resilient bikes are covered in haphazard armour plates and pack rapid-fire dakkaguns, with the option for a kombi-rokkit on the squad leader.
You’ll need a Trukk to get your Orks into battle. This update to the classic kit features multiple optional add-on parts like a grabbin’ klaw, buzzsaw, and a big spiked ram, plus loads of cosmetic parts so you can personalize your madcap creation.
You can also show off your workship or Gork or Mork with the Orks Command Pack and Dice. The Command Pack contains 94 reference cards covering all 15 detachments in the Codex – their detachment rules, enhancements, and stratagems – plus a set of 36 double-sided tokens for tracking various rules and statuses.
Finish off your collection with a set of 16 premium dice cast in a properly Orky mottled green plastic, with red pips and the faction logo on the six face.
If you missed them in the recent starter box, the Armageddon Orks get solo releases. You can get the Big Mek Dakkarig, Weirdboy, Wartrakk, and Kommand Krew made up of the Bannernob, Bigboss, and Painboy (with his little grot orderly).

These limited Magic: The Gathering collections follow Bilbo Baggins from Bag End to the Lonely Mountain, with stops for riddles in the dark, meals worth remembering, wild roads, Dragon hoards, and the kind of trouble that tends to begin when someone says it’s time for an adventure.

Modiphius Entertainment is launching the pre-order of two new official Discworld board games; Kill Sam Vimes, a light board game of trainee assassins pursuing the impossible to kill Sam Vimes, and Readers Digested, a reimagining of Blue Moon City by Reiner Knizia set in the Unseen Library, on August 20, 2026.
KILL SAM VIMES
Kill Sam Vimes is a competitive strategy game for 2-6 players lasting around 60 minutes designed by Dom Westerland. Players take the role of trainee assassins, trying to complete the impossible – to get close enough to kill Sam Vimes!

Pre-orders will also receive a bonus promo pack of four additional assassin cards, each with a unique special ability.
READERS DIGESTED
Reading week has arrived, and panicked wizards in training have descended on the Unseen University – and as assistant librarians, players must restore order and escort the wayward students to the exam hall.
A licensed reimagining of the eurogame Blue Moon City by Reiner Knizia, Readers Digested is a 2-4 player game, taking 60 minutes to play. Available to purchase will be a standard version, as well as a deluxe version that includes upgraded components, as well as rules for solo play.

Modiphius Entertainment has announced the pre-order is open for new Fallout: Wasteland Warfare starter sets, officially launching its new edition, a refined version of the much loved adventure wargame.
Originally released eight years ago, Fallout: Wasteland Warfare sees players exploring a generated wasteland, supported by a vast range of miniatures for an expansive and innovative wargame.

Combat encounters see their warband taking on mutants, wasteland wildlife, and other human factions as they fight for survival and supremacy in the post-atomic wastes quintessential to the Fallout franchise.
Players can play as one of four core factions on launch: Survivors, Super Mutants, the Brotherhood of Steel, and Wasteland Raiders, with more factions like the New California Republic and Caesar’s Legion being published later.
Modiphius’ extensive 32mm scale miniatures range will continue to be compatible with the new edition of the game, with core sets in multipart plastic kits, and its award-winning resin miniatures supplementing tabletop wastelands around the world.

Para Bellum Wargames has revealed the Artisan Series Terataur Prime, an extraordinary new centerpiece coming to the City States this September.
At the center of the Terataur program stand the Terataur primes, possessing not only the unstoppable mechanical might of the Terataurs, but a fully human mind.When the mortal form of a commander or decorated hero is injured beyond even the ability of the City States chirurgeons to recover, they are given a choice: a hero’s death or the promise of external glory. The few brave, or foolish, souls who agree undergo a fiendishly complex surgery. Through the divine power of phlogiston, their conscious mind is ablated layer by layer onto thin metal sheets. The techne of the City States Theurgists allows them to reconstitute the mind, or those parts that have survived transcription, by layering these sheets with incredibly complex clockwork and crystal arrays, creating a copy of the mind that came before.
Distant and other, these incredible artifacts are then fitted into the bespoke form of a Terataur, granting it a power and resilience it never possessed in life, a true and unstoppable fusion of metal, techne, will and phlogiston.
As an Artisan Series release, the Terataur Prime is sculpted in Conquet’s premium resin tier, making it an amazing model for painting as well; as play, and a striking new addition to a collectors shelf or on the tabletop. First Blood fans will enjoy rules that make this play as either a Populist Hero or Scholae Masterwork unit, each with their own strategic advantage, and disadvantage to create a challenge both for the gamer using this, and their opponent!
Look for the City States Artisan Series Terratur Prime coming in September to your LGS and on the Para Bellum E-Shop.
