Following the game’s launch just a few short weeks ago, we’ve been inundated with photos, battle reports, army lists, and excited questions from Antares players across the globe… One of the recurring questions and discussion topics which arose was that of scenery… what does an Antarean gaming table look like? What do buildings look like?…
Buildings in the Antarean universe take many forms – from immense floating buildings soaring into the air like spires, virtual habitats enclosing diverse biospheres as well as hab areas and recreational facilities. Easy to imagine… but far harder for most of us to model on the wargames table! So we’ve been working with the guys from Sarissa Precision to create…
Terrain is very important in Beyond the Gates of Antares and impacts on a game in three ways. It can effect line of sight – blocking shooting opportunities, it can effect movement – squads can potentially suffer a penalty by having their movement reduced and it can offer cover – improving a resist value (Res)…
Following last Saturday’s official launch of ‘Beyond the Gates of Antares, we’ve created a handy tool for all you Concord players who might not have yet decided how you’d like to paint your forces!

Beyond the Gates Of Antares is coming and Matt Houghton picked up his set of Freeborn to get in some early action. Let’s take a look at Matt’s new force… Matt: My Freeborn arrived in the post but due to a harsh work load at the time I decided to keep the paint scheme as simple as possible. With…
Behind closed doors, Rick is busy scribbling and scrawling the finishing touches to the Beyond the Gates of Antares Rulebook manuscript. Then it’ll be into production and released later this year! We’re always hugely excited to see community projects – and the official Facebook Group has provided a great source of inspiration. This week in particular, we…
Week-by-week we’re seeing more and more Beyond the Gates of Antares projects from around the community – over on the Facebook Group there are some fantastic painted models, conversions, and backstories being concocted… This week, we were particularly taken by the Algoryn paint scheme from Matt Houghton of Evil Bear Wargames – we got in touch…
Here we have a first look at an Algoryn AI squad painted by the very talented painter Jo Bain. Not only did he paint these miniatures for the forthcoming Beyond the Gates of Antares releases he also took the time to take us through his thoughts on the colour scheme he used for his squad,…
