The Force Compendium is the companion volume to the Heavy Gear Blitz 3rd Edition Rulebook. This 276-page softback book contains plenty of additional options to expand the game and keep players engrossed with new possibilities.

New Units
While the main rulebook focuses on the plastic Army Boxes and the units they contain, the Force Compendium includes all the military units and weapons currently used on Terra Nova. This includes a wide variety of new unit types; infantry, tanks, aircraft, artillery and the fearsome Striders! While Heavy Gears are the heart of Blitz, the game excels as a combined arms experience. Players can continue to play with a force comprised entirely of Heavy Gears, but adding different types of unit will reward them with new opportunities.

New Factions
As well as vastly expanding the existing factions with new units, this book also includes three new forces to command. These include the Black Talons, Terra Nova’s elite combined special forces. With the best weapons and pilots from across the whole planet , can players use the peerless pilots of the Talons to good effect against superior numbers?

This book also introduces Leagueless forces, those who swear no allegiance to the great powers of Terra Nova. Nevertheless, they are fierce defenders of their homes and families. Using a wide range of equipment that can make them unpredictable enemies, this force will give players more choice of units than any other.

Along with the new units and factions, the book contains additional background lore, fiction and supporting material to make this the most immersive Heavy Gear Blitz experience ever!

The Force Compendium is available from our Shiny Games webstore. Alternatively, to purchase from your Local Games Store, direct them to shinygamesdistribution.com, where we also supply retailers.

July will see two brand new Two Player Starter Boxes released for Heavy Gear Blitz 3rd Edition, giving new players a choice of which pair of Terra Novan factions they want to start playing. As well as two 12-model armies, each box includes a small format version of the full 3rd Edition rulebook (also available separately).

Battle in the Badlands has Peace River facing off against their Badlands neighbours NuCoal. This represents an excellent opportunity for players looking to get into the game with the latest plastic models from Dream Pod 9, and includes 12 models for each of the two factions as well as a half-size rulebook.

The second box, War for Terra Nova lets players fight the classic North vs. South struggle for dominance of the planet. The North and South models in this starter contain less parts to assemble that in the Badlands one, so may appeal more to beginning-level hobbyists.

Both Starter Boxes and the Heavy Gear Blitz 3rd Edition rules (inc. small format) are available from our Shiny Games webstore. Alternatively, to purchase from your Local Games Store, direct them to shinygamesdistribution.com, where we also supply retailers.
