More new painted miniatures from our forthcoming science fiction game, Beyond the Gates of Antares. This time we introduce the Algoryn AI team with X-launcher…

An X-Launcher is a portable magnetic launcher that hurls explosive missiles, bombs, or special munitions packages, such as Arc, Blur, Scramble, and Scoot.

They are bulky weapons, and their regular explosive ammunition resists full compression due to the charge. They are of limited value on the battlefield unless they can be emplaced or setup in a static position. However, they are excellent for lobbing shots onto fixed targets. The bombs themselves are usually guided either by internal sensors or by  means of mobile targeting probes. The standard X ammunition contains high-concussion explosives. The X simply standing for explosive. The smallest X-Slinger version shoots a micro-bomb and is often built into a wrist-mounted unit, or it can be sub-mounted onto another weapon or device.

Find out more about the Algoryn and their stat lines in the Beyond the Gates of Antares game or read game creator Rick Priestleys’s article on all the factions waging war amid the Seventh Age.

Our Beyond the Gates of Antares ruleset is now ready for the first stage of public playtesting: we call it the Alpha version. Our Alpha playtest program is open to all volunteers and we have also made available a limited number of miniatures for playtesters too – however once they are gone they are gone.
