We extend our condolences and the condolences of our community to Ghislain Barbe and his family. We learned on Friday, September 9th, 2016 that, Marie-Claude Girard, wife of Ghislain and mother to their 3 daughters, passed away after a long battle with cancer.

Ghislains amazing artwork has brought our science fiction worlds to life for all our fans and that was made possible by his loving wife, Marie-Claude. Now during this difficult time, all our prayers are with him and his family.

Notes of condolence can be left on his Facebook page at the following link.

Phil has been busy in July, after he painted up the new Northern and Southern plastic miniature armies. He cranked out our latest Chibi Gear, the Southern King Cobra, with its We're #1 Hand Sign to taunt the Northern Chibi Gears. He then painted it up with an amazing Southern Republic Red and Gold paint scheme. To quote Mel Brooks "Its Good to be the King". The red and gold contrasts well with the previous Chibi Gear release of the Northern Kodiak and its Blue and Silver paint scheme.

We updated the Heavy Gear Blitz - Tabletop Wargaming - Living Rulebook ebook Ver. 2.0 today, the new file has the text "July17th2016Update" at the end. Also, the Changes Log pdf has been updated to include all the July 4th update changes, followed by the July 17th update changes at the end. The July 17th update mainly adds the bookmarks and table of contents page links that were missing from the earlier update, plus adds new chibi gear artwork and other photos to the rules section, and fixes all the grammar and typos that were found.
