Hintergrund: Die Old Dominion ist eine Elite-Defensivarmee, die umso stärker wird, je mehr Verluste sie erleidet. In Kombination mit robuster Infanterie und mächtigen unterstützenden Kavallerie- und Bruteinheiten ergibt dies eine sehr einzigartige Armee, deren Stärke zunimmt, während ihre Truppenzahl abnimmt. Armeen der Old Dominion spielen in der Regel langsamer, mit dem Ziel, den Gegner abzunutzen und dabei selbst immer mächtiger zu werden, bis der Feind nicht mehr in der Lage ist, sie aufzuhalten. Dies ermöglicht den stetig vorrückenden Streitkräften der Old Dominion, ihren Weg durchzubrechen. Die Old Dominion-Armeen können auch eine Fallen Divinity einsetzen, die das Spielverhalten der Armee verändert. Diese monströse zentrale Figur zieht Kraft aus Ihrer Armee, um sich selbst in eine massive Erscheinung des Todes zu verwandeln, die das Schlachtfeld überrollt.

The training regime of the Steel Legion is as legendary as the unit itself. Those who have failed it speak with the harshest words to describe it, recounting drills and abuses, both physical and mental, and pressure that are hard to believe. Be such claims true or not, one thing is certain: every single man and woman of the Steel Legion has gone through it and their effectiveness on the field is undeniable, while their performance under the harshest of circumstances unfaltering. While the worth of each of the Legionnaires is unquestioned, an observant eye can see the source of their performance; for in the presence of their Drillmasters, the Legion's fervor and aggression is unstoppable. After all, it only makes sense for one to perform better when someone screams at one's ear during combat, asking what one's major malfunction is. Contains unpainted miniatures. Assembly required. Game Contents: 1 Drillmaster Miniature (Resin) 1 Infantry Base (Plastic)

When the Fall occurred the vast majority of Hazlia's priesthood was obliterated along with Capitas, the capital of the theocratic Dominion. Those who survive today and have taken the mantle of the Last Creed are the spiritual descendants not of the central priesthood which was annihilated along with Capitas, but of the monastic orders that thrived beyond the reach of Capitas' influence. Amongst the oldest and most dangerous members of the Last Creed are the Archimandrites, each blessed in the vile might of the unGod and steeped in the mysteries and rituals of his dark church. Their monasteries abandoned in return of cells deep within the bedrock beneath Capitas, these blasphemous creatures command the absolute loyalty of a dozen or so acolytes who lead the depraved followers of the apocalyptic cults so readily found in the dying lands to the north as well as as many undying legionnaires and monstrosities as their dark arts allow them to control. Contains unpainted miniatures. Assembly required. Game Contents: 1 Archimandrite Miniature (Plastic) 1 Command Card 1 Infantry Base (Plastic) 1 Infantry Stand (Plastic)

In "Siege of the Citadel" führst du konzerntreue Doomtrooper in die Schlacht. Dein Ziel ist es, den Aliens die Stirn zu bieten und sie zurück in die Dunkelheit des Alls zu treiben. Dabei solltest du im besten Interesse deines Mutterkonzerns handeln. Beim Kampf gegen ausserirdische Invasoren steht viel auf dem Spiel. Abgebrochene Waffen oder verlorene Token sollten möglichst vermieden werden. Daher haben wir eine praktische Feldherr MAXI PLUS Tasche mit individuellem Schaumstoff für dich gepackt. Diese führst du statt dem originalen Brettspielkarton ins Feld und transportierst damit alle Inhalte des „Siege of the Citadel“-Grundspiels gut geschützt und ordentlich verstaut zur nächsten Mission. Deine Tasche oder die Brettspielbox ohne Schaumstoff ist ein miniaturenfeindlicher Ort. Abgebrochene Teile, hässliche Kratzer und Farbabrieb bedrohen deine bemalten Miniaturen.

Von den Dark Legion Legionnaires über die verschiedenen Doomtroopers bis hin zum riesigen Ezoghoul bekommt jedes Modell ein massgeschneidertes Fach. Der passgenaue Zuschnitt verhindert, dass die Figuren beim Transport umherrutschen und aneinanderstossen. Das schont filigrane Details und deine bemalten Modelle werden nicht von Abrieb und Kratzern heimgesucht. Somit musst du nur noch die Dunkelheit des Alls fürchten. Nachdem die Figuren sicher verpackt sind, wenden wir uns deinem Spielmaterial zu. Auf einem Full-Size Insert und zwei Half-Size-Einlagen findest du entsprechende Fächer für dein Spielmaterial. Die Kartenfächer verfügen über fingerdicke Aussparungen, die das Entnehmen der Karten (Eventkarten, Rangkarten etc.) erleichtern. Selbstverständlich passen sämtliche Karten auch mit Schutzhüllen. Die Player Boards verstaust du im grossen Fach des Full-Size Inserts. Die Token, Würfel und Plastik-Pegs verteilst du auf die übrigen Fächer.

From a New York Times bestseller "a... winning story about a commander who builds a company of misfits... into a disciplined military outfit" ( Publishers Weekly). After being court-martialed by the Space Legion for ordering the strafing of a treaty-signing ceremony, multimillionaire Willard Phule receives his punishment: He must command the misfit Omega Company on Haskin's Planet, a mining settlement on the edge of settled space. At his duty station, he leverages his personal money and a knack for managing people to get the company to come together as a unit. Phule convinces the governor to leave the contract for an honorary duty up for competition between the Space Legionnaires and the Regular Army. The Army sends some of their most elite troops to take part in the competition, but Phule's company operates with their own unique tactics... Praise for the Phule's Company series: "Part science fiction, part spoof, part heart-warmer." - Publishers Weekly "Madcap... a welcome sendup of military sf." - Booklist "Light without being frivolous, and displays Asprin's considerable expertise about fencing and things military, especially leadership." - Chicago Sun-Times "Reminiscent of 'M*A*S*H.'" - Analog Science Fiction and Fact Magazine

Olivier Norek: Former police officer, writer on SPIRAL and a million-copy bestseller "The greatest exponent of the policier at work today" Mark Sanderson, The Times "Exhilarating . . . This is not conventional crime" Barry Forshaw, FT When a routine kidnapping case goes badly wrong, Capitaine Vincent Coste breaks his golden rule: he starts to take things personally. And with his career hanging by a thread - his resignation letter parked in his superior's desk draw - he is plunged into his most testing ordeal yet. A raid on the vault at the Bobigny law courts. Five vital pieces of evidence swiped. Four men who can no longer be held: an armed robber, a foreign legionnaire, a kidnapper and a paedophile. But what is the connection between them? With Coste and his team at a loss, it's the moral outrage of another criminal that will throw up a lead: one they'll follow to their breaking point - and beyond. What readers are saying about Olivier Norek You can see the similarities with the TV series Spiral, which can only be a major positive! A hard hitting and gritty French crime read that makes an impact. A great thriller, sardonic, humorous, dark. I loved this book. Well written and had an authentic feel to it. A complete page turner.

Bloomsbury presents The Ark and the Empire by Michael Livingston, read by John Smith. The beginning of an epic historical fantasy series that reveals the hidden celestial battle behind the course of history. HISTORY BELONGS TO THE CONQUERORS — BUT THE FUTURE IS FORGED BY THE WEAPONS OF THE GODS Julius Caesar is dead, assassinated on the senate floor, and the glory that is Rome has been torn in two... Octavian, Caesar's ambitious great-nephew and adopted son, vies with Marc Antony and Cleopatra for control of Caesar's legacy. As civil war rages from Rome to Alexandria, and vast armies and navies battle for supremacy, a secret conflict threatens to shift the course of history. Juba, Numidian prince and adopted brother of Octavian, has embarked on a ruthless quest for the Shards of Heaven, lost treasures said to possess the very power of the gods — or the one God. Driven by vengeance, Juba has already attained the fabled Trident of Poseidon, which may also be the staff once wielded by Moses. Now he will stop at nothing to obtain the other Shards, even if it means burning the entire world to the ground. Caught up in these cataclysmic events, and the hunt for the Shards, are a pair of exiled Roman legionnaires, a Greek librarian of uncertain loyalties, assassins, spies, slaves. . . and the ten-year-old daughter of Cleopatra herself.

But his noviceship with the city's Philosopher places him in the middle of a catastrophe that will alter the destiny of his people. Maris Casperia was raised amidst the strategic maneuvers of the Citadel's inner workings, and she knows what her future holds-a lifetime of service to a corrupt city.

As their fates diverge, they learn they are at the center of a story the gods are writing. And even if they can find their way back to each other, there may be nothing left.
