The Algoryns from Warlord Games Set Up Their X-Launcher
September 11, 2014 by brennon
Warlord Games have got another preview for the world of Beyond the Gates of Antares and this time it's back to my favourites, the Algoryn. Let's take a look at their A.I Team with X-Launcher...
This team comes with a portable magnetic launcher that throws explosives, smoke, and special munitions into the air or at the enemy from afar. Always good to be able to shell your foe from a distance and pin them down.
The cool little targeting probe keeps the shots on target while the eyes of the Algoryn keep a look out for some new targets. On the miniature front I'm really not sure. I like the armour but I don't like the helmets at all as I think they look altogether too mushed together and busy. Maybe it's just because everything is painted in dark colours?
You can still get your hands on the Beyond the Gates of Antares rules by checking out the link above to the unit where rulebook access could be yours.
What do you think?

It is always good to see more from Antares.
looking good!
I think we’ve all been spoiled by Infinity mini’s. To me these just look so-so.
I was thinking about the same. There are so many beautiful minis and sculpts out there, and these just seem…. ok.
The minis look fine, not the best but they still have character. However the boner ‘mortar’ is another issue
Even aesthetically, it’s designed to f*ck you up :-).
I really like them – they have quite a classical sci-fi vibe to them, and they look a lot more functional than showy – where they contrast with 40k, Infinity, Warzone etc. not everything is ‘turned up to 11’ on them or overly cartoony, I think there is definitely a space in the market for that !
Has anyone had a chance to try the Alpha rules yet and would care to comment? I’ve heard they are fairly similar to Bolt Action in terms of how they function.
