AT-43 — News
Rackham released various updates on AT-43 activities. First up is a full description of the upcoming Operation Frostbite campaign book,
• New rules for terrain new elements (crystals, outdoor gaming tiles, and so on.) and neutral fighters, such as the civil engineers and the MedTec medics;
• Support unit rules to use the specialists from the Attachment Boxes;
• Troop transport rules;
• New combat drills;
• New troops and exclusive heroes for the U.N.A., the Therians, the Red Blok and the Karmans;
• A new campaign game mode for 2 to 4 players;
• Optional rules to give experience to companies;
• 37 exclusive missions to play as part of the campaign or in one-off games;
• The official AT-43 errata.
We got a preview of a production sample of the upcoming Karman hero box Saint Anuman and Jinod-Un model. It is sort of a cross between Planet of the Apes and American Graffiti!
More information about the Cogs should be coming soon.
AT-43 — Rackham and You
Rackham released a three page pdf outlining some of its plans for AT-43. Most significant was probably the confirmation that the Cogs will be the next race released for AT-43. Also mentioned are some new books, Campaign Book – Operation: Damocles and AT-43 – Tactics as well as some sort of rules subset for armor entitled Armored Heroes.
AT-43 — New Errata
Rackham released an errata sheet for its AT-43 sci-fi miniatures game. It is two pages long and includes corrections to the AT-43 Rulebook, U.N.A. Army Book, Therian Army Book, RedBlok Army Book, and Karmans Army Book.
AT-43 — Karmans Review
You have probably noticed that our AT-43 coverage of the Karmans has been very light. We just decided to skip them and wait to see what comes next for AT-43. But we found a nice review of the Karmans Army Book on the Samurai Gunslinger blog.
AT-43 — Cold Toad
Rackham released a new U.N.A. Fire Toad for AT-43. Differing from the original releases (MKs 02 and 03) of the Fire Toad this one replaces the shipping container with all three weapon options (Light Laser Cannons, Light MGs, and Light Grenade Launcher). Also included are eight unit cards (one leader and one troop for each of the patterns; Fire Toad, Light Prince, Iron Rain, and Lancelot). In addition, the Fire Toad is now painted in the new Operation: Frostbite ‘winter’ scheme similar to the new Shock TacArms. It is a medium gray finish with an off-white splinter pattern. Overall it is very attractive and there are numerous details picked out and markings on the vehicle. Additionally, both the Light Laser Cannons and the Light MGs have the winter pattern as well but not the Light Grenade Launchers.
Overall, the Fire Toad looks good in the new scheme and the weapon options are a welcomed addition.
AT-43 — U.N.A. Close Combat Troops
Rackham recently released some new U.N.A. Close Combat units for AT-43. First up is the new U.N.A. Shock TacArms. These were previously unseen troops and the last of the TacArms from the U.N.A. Army Book to be released. The Shock TacArms ship three to a box with one leader figure and two trooper figures plus two unit cards (sergeant and troop). The Shock TacArms are the typical TacArm design but sport the new winter camo paint scheme. It is a jagged scheme of medium gray with off-white patterning. There is also some sensor detail picked out in red, green and black. Instead of the typical backpack the STs have a G-Pack jump pack that is similar to, but larger than, the one sported by the Wing and Shock Troopers. Read the rest of this entry »
AT-43 — Baal Golgoth Preview
Rackham released an image of the upcoming Baal Golgoth, a size five Therian strider for AT-43. It is going to be a big miniature roughly 30% larger than the Wraith Golgoth. The Baal is the first size five strider we have seen for AT-43. The Baal is scheduled for an August 2008 release.
Update: Rackham released a photo of a fully painted Baal Golgoth.
