In the Colonies, they have the opportunity to face one another over resources and secrets long forgotten, even as the Empire faces a mysterious enemy in the Dark Naga and his forces.

The MiG-1/3 family of fighters was built to satisfy a Soviet Air Force requirement for an advanced, fast, high-altitude fighter.

America has fallen. A vampiric scourge sweeps the nation, turning brother on brother and parent on child as the blood-hungry beasts take deeper and deeper hold upon the land.

Connor Paolo (GOSSIP GIRL) stars as Martin, a young man traveling with only his taciturn mentor – a hardened fighter known simply as Mister – as protection against this blasted earth in search of the rumored safe haven of New Eden. Winner of the Midnight Madness Award at the Toronto International Film Festival and hailed as “the American horror film of the year” (Todd Brown, TwitchFilm.com), STAKE LAND establishes director Jim Mickle as a leader in the new generation of horror.

Hordes:LoE Battle $94.99
$49.99
Mustered together from disreputable coastal taverns and wharves, sea dogs are motley pirates hungry for spoils who will serve any master with sufficient coin. Even grizzled mates can barely keep them in check, but what they lack in training and manners they make up for with frightening bluster and avarice as they wield their pistols, axes, and cutlasses with wild abandon. Miniatures are supplied unpainted and assembly may be required.
Towering above Everblight’s legions are nightmarish creatures of writhing tentacles made possible only through the dragon’s will and power. From their positions atop these monstrosities, sorceresses rain down blighted magic upon the enemies of their master, freezing flesh with chilling frost or bursting bodies with explosions of razorsharp spines. Those foolish enough to engage a Throne of Everblight in hand-to-hand combat are grabbed up by the blighted horror’s tentacles and pulled into its vast draconic maw to be devoured whole and screaming. A player may field up to two Thrones of Everblight for each warlock in a Legion of Everblight army.

A player may field one unit of Blighted Nyss Raptors for each warlock in a Legion of Everblight army. SPECIAL NOTE: PIP 73071 contains the same Mk II stat card as PIP 73024.

Growing Your Customer Base By Lynn Potyen Owner of e GameBoard Sheboygan, WI As the first snow falls in Wisconsin, we turn our attention to the wonderful winter board game season. A ‘season’ you say? Why yes; as professionals, we know it is a year round sport. But just like when your favorite football team makes it into the playoffs, we too get seasonal fans! anksgiving, Christmas, New Years and then 3 months of indoor play time. What a perfect chance to advertise to your town about all the fun in your store-not just for the avid gamer but for the family and party game crowd as well! If you are lucky, a few publicly placed events herald a wealth of new customers in your community. Take advantage of the library, mall, churches, schools, and my all time favorite: coffee shops. ese public play places are fabulous for mining for new players. By sending out a few exciting and fun members of your demo team to enjoy a night playing “somewhere else”, these adventurous folk can spread the word better than any advertisement. ‘Seeking new players’ signs can be added to your tables both in store and out. is simple statement gives an open invitation to people nearby who may want to see what you are doing. If you are at a public meeting area, leave behind a flyer about playing at your local game store. Create your own Meetup page online and run annual events. When used correctly, this charming site can direct others from out of town to your store. Now turn your attention to the inside of your establishment. Look at it from the new customer’s point of view. Is the business friendly? Is it clean? Is it well lit? Does it smell good? Have you decorated for the holidays and added appropriate music? Offer a small complimentary cup of cocoa or cider for your shoppers, or perhaps a basket of candy canes. You must build a quality experience if you intend to keep the new shoppers coming back. It is likewise important for us, as shop owners, to educate our regular customers to be a great “welcome mat”. If your customer loves your store as much as you do, why wouldn’t they help you make a great impression? It is a rule in my store that there is no swearing, and I take much grief in our industry for this. However, I am here to tell you that 98% of the time people thank me for my rule! e other 2% shop elsewhere and I am okay with that. If they can’t respect my decision, then they don’t respect me and I deserve respect. My customers love my store because it is ‘their store’ and they want to share this good experience with others. ey are proud of what we do both in store and out in our community and they want to be a part of that. We have worked hard here in Sheboygan for 5 years growing a working program with the Sheboygan Area School District, Mead Public Library, Above and Beyond Children’s Museum, e Sheboygan Chamber of Commerce and many churches and restaurants. We are building community where we are rich in spirit and we aren’t doing it alone. 20
