Welcome back, wastelanders! The scorched earth of Appalachia continues to heat up with exciting new releases for Fallout: Miniatures this month. From the terrifying Scorchbeast Queen to the eerie Scorched Horde, we’ve got some seriously spine chilling additions to your battlefield. So if you’re gearing up for epic boss battles, expanding your Fallout: Factions collection, or diving into a new painting challenge, there’s never been a better time to add some new faces, and nightmares, to your table. Let’s take a look at what’s new and what’s coming soon!
What’s New?
Scorchbeast Queen
Get ready to bring the pain from above, because the Scorchbeast Queen has landed! Towering at a wing tipped 23cm and swooping in on a monstrous 100mm scenic base, this resin titan is the stuff of post apocalyptic nightmares. With optional head customization adn more sonic shrieks than your squad has stimpacks, the Queen is the ultimate boss level threat for your wasteland encounters. So if you’re using the Wilds of Appalachia expansion or grabbing the free digital cards online, she is ready to dominate your battlefield and dukst your minis in radioactive doom. It’s time to hail the Queen!
Scorched – The Horde
They were once people, now they’re just husks echoing with the same haunting phrase: “Together… always…” The Scorched are a terrifying reminder of what happens when the plague takes hold, and this six pack of misery brings that creeping dread right to your tabletop. Each resin miniature captures the twisted detail of the infection. From scorched skin to jagged green crystals, they are perfect for painting nightmares into your next encounter. Toss them into a skirmish or swarm your players in a campaign from The Wilds of Appalachia. These hive minded horrors are ready to ruin someone’s day. Just don’t breathe too deep!
The Scorched Plague Rules Packet (FREE PDF)
“We… are… one…” Unity never looked so horrifying. This month’s Scorched Plague Rules Packet dives deep into the ash choked madness spreading across Appalachia, arming you with everything you need to field the crystal riddled Scorched Horde and their titanic matriarch, the Scorchbeast Queen. Inside, you’ll find full faction rules to bring the Scorched to Fallout: Wasteland Warfare, along with Vault-Tec Approved profiles, AI and unit cards, new weapons and items, a regional rules table, and the brand new scenario: Hole Lotta Trouble. You’ll need every ounce of grit to survive this hive minded nightmare. Just be careful out there, join the fight, not the family!
Coming Soon!
Not only do we have some exciting products coming in June, but we also have our next State of the Wasteland stream that will include a HUGE announcement for our Fallout tabletop community. Watch our socials and Discord for details on when the stream will air and read all about it next month in the Fallout Friday blog.
Wasteland Raiders Dice
The Wasteland Raiders Dice Set has 8 Play Dice and 4 Luck Dice themed for Fallout: Factions and will give you everything you need to shoot, scheme, and score big across the irradiated ruins. So holster your doubts, load up those dice, and remember that in the Fallout universe, luck might just be your deadliest weapon!
Expected for preorder in June 2025
Brotherhood of Steel Core Set
When the Brotherhood of Steel rolls out, they bring discipline, firepower, and a grim sense of purpose. This Recon Squad is no exception, made up of battle hardened Knights and Paladins in Power Armor, backed by sharp eyed Field Scribes and frontline fighters, they’re a scalpel in the irradiated chaos of the Wasteland. This eight model set packs serious tactical potential for your games of Fallout: Factions. With hard plastic detail perfect for painters and collectors alike, this squad proves that even when outnumbered, the Brotherhood is never outclassed. Suit up, lock in, and remember the creed: the Wasteland belongs to those who claim it.
Expected for preorder in June 2025
Plastic Miniatures Sets
A word from brand manager, Samantha Webb
Hi everyone!
I recognise that the release of our core four plastic sets for the Raiders, Brotherhood of Steel, Survivors, and Super Mutants has been a little sporadic since we announced them and previewed the models in our last stream. I’m sorry that we haven’t provided more news about when to expect them and when they’ll be going on sale, but that’s because we’re working incredibly hard with our plastic manufacturing partners to make sure we get the best quality minis, and we have high expectations. That means that pre-production has taken longer than expected with some sets, particularly the Brotherhood of Steel and the Super Mutants, but we think they’re well worth the wait.
I can go into a little more detail in our State of the Wasteland stream, but our approach has been not to announce pre-order and release dates to you for them to only have been delayed again and again. The raiders are beginning to be sent to webstore pre-order customers now and, as you can see above, the Brotherhood set is expected soon. Once we have production timelines in a much better place for Survivors and Super Mutants we’ll announce those release dates too! But broadly speaking, you can expect Survivors in Q3 and the Super Mutants in Q4.
And with that, back to your regular Fallout Friday blogging!
