Special Forces Fight For The Algoryn In Beyond The Gates Of Antares
June 26, 2017 by brennon
Showing off why the Algoryn are possibly the coolest faction in Beyond The Gates Of Antares Warlord Games now have some excellent specialist troops and they're led by a dangerous looking lady...
Leading the way alongside her bodyguards and crack squad we have Ess Ma Rahg. Here's a bit more about her character...
"Ess Ma Rahq belongs to one of the oldest and most renowned of all the great Optimate moch, or clans, of the Algoryn: the Rahq. Ess Ma Rahq is every inch a member of the haughty and ambitious clan into which she was born.
She took to the obligatory military training with relish, proving insightful if merciless leader, inspiring both loyalty and dread in equal degree. Most of all her evident intelligence and technical aptitude distinguished her from her cohorts."
She looks fantastic, as do the other troops and it's a bit of a mix of aesthetics from the likes of Farscape and the Peacekeepers and the Turians from Mass Effect. A good melting pot!
Hazardous & Hardened
Maybe Ess Ma Rahg is going to be calling in these next squads to settle the score with the enemy? Here we have the Algoryn Hazard Squad...
...and the Command Element for it too.
As you might imagine these soldiers are deployed into the thickest of the fighting. Their armour benefits from multiple layers of protection against some of the most devastating weapons out there and they carry experimental weapons for blasting apart their enemies in return.
What do you think of these new releases?

I’m not normally excited by metal minis these days but I love the Algoryn infantry aesthetics enough to get these anyway. Not thrilled with those odd open top speeders they fly though. I’m probably going to proxy vehicles for them.
Those are very nice.
These all look excellent – I’ll be getting some of these!
Yeah, as you say, the Algoryn already had some of the best minis in the range but these 3 sets are fantastic. 2nd faction time……
Those Hazard Suits are awesome.
Some very nice Algoryn releases. Need to get my starter set ones done before I pick up anything else though
is the command head different,or is it just they way they are painted..? Bloody eyesight..!!
the hazard suits are very tau-esqe
Warlord is doing a grand job with the lastest Algoryn releases/ The inital sets some years ago were distinctly unappealling but you can’t say that about the faction now … Well played Warlord they look grand
algoryn are definetely my favourites!
Females would make good Asari!^^
Better Tau than actual Tau.
the hazard squad looks interesting.
These are the first Gates minis that made me go “meh”. Alas they seem to suffer (from the photographs) from “Terminator syndrome” (elongated legs and arms, and its horrific what happens around the hip area). Would have preferred to see the Hazard suits actually look more like the Tau Battle-suits (where the legs and arms are obviously of artificial construct), these seem more like knock off Terminators than anything else. I’ll be giving them a miss (andI’ve got hoards of Algoryn minis to my collection. Now on the other hand Ess Ma Rahq (plus bodyguards) is absolutely spot on, amazing… Read more »
This is a whole world of YES! the hazard suits are great. I feel like the stardard ones knock the command squad out of the park though.
I can’t get over the special division… It makes me want to paint them and play mass effect simultaneously 😀
