The following items are available to order from either Battleground location.
Warmachine: Forces of Warmachine – Convergence of Cyriss
To those who worship Cyriss, no tenet is more sacred than the Fifth Harmonic – the belief that the Clockwork Goddess will manifest once the perfect machine is created across all of Caen. The key to this vessel’s completion lies in the geomantic fulcrums of power that cover the world, many in hostile territory. For centuries the cult has been amassing an immense mechanikal army, poised to take the final steps in readying for their goddess. The time has come for the Convergence to complete the Great Work, and they will let none stand in their way! Devote yourself to mechanikal perfection and transcend the flesh withForces of Warmachine: Convergence of Cyriss, featuring complete faction rules and profiles for fielding the Convergence of Cyriss in Warmachine Mk II.

Hardcover $39.99

Pathfinder Battles: White Dragon Evolution Boxed Set
Packed with icy menace, the White Dragon Evolution Boxed Set is the first Pathfinder Battles pre-painted miniatures offering from Paizo Publishing and WizKids Games to showcase that most feared of adversaries, dragons!
White Dragons tend to be the most feral and animalistic of the chromatic dragons, relying on sheer force rather than elaborate plans or strategies. They live in cold mountain regions and arctic lowlands, making homes within freezing ice-caves or other remote areas. Masters of the cold, White Dragons employ freezing breath, along with a number of other cold-based spells in order to freeze both prey and foe alike. They prefer food to be frozen solid before eating! The White Dragon Evolution Boxed Set provides Pathfinder Battles fans with three different size categories of White Dragons for use in your campaigns: Medium, Large, and Huge! That’s right! Three white dragons to menace your player characters!
Box Set $39.99
Edition Wars
A fun-filled, tongue-in-cheek, standalone strategy card game romp, players inEdition Wars portray Gamemasters slavishly devoted to their edition of the game! In an effort to champion their edition, players compete to be the first to assemble a complete group of six Gamers – a task made complicated by other Gamemasters seeking to steal your Gamers out from under you! Defend your existing Gamers with Snark, Blog, and Merch, equip yourself with special gear, and toss instant critical effects designed to aid you on your epic quest to edition supremacy!
SRP: $24.95
Pacific Rim HeroClix
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes — a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) — who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
Recreate the gigantic action of Pacific Rim on your tabletop! The mechs and monsters from Guillermo del Toro’s sci-fi action movie are now available as figures for the best-selling HeroClix tabletop game by WizKids. Collect all 10 miniature figures and battle for the survival of humanity! The special rotating base on each figure tracks your progress and lets you use special abilities, so there’s no need to keep score.
The full line of Pacific Rim HeroClix figures includes five heroic Jaegers. Check out the video below for a 360-degree look at Gipsy Danger, Striker Eureka, Cherno Alpha, Crimson Typhoon, and Coyote Tango!
Sentinels of the Multiverse: Enhanced Edition
A mad scientist holds the world hostage with his terrifying inventions! An alien warlord from a far away galaxy brings his limitless army of bizarre minions to conquer the planet! A giant, rampaging robot cuts a swath of destruction across the coast, destroying major population centers! Who will stand in their way? A team of heroes, all with impressive powers and abilities stand between the world and the forces of evil. Answer the call to protect the multiverse!
A cooperative, fixed-deck card game with a comic book flavor newly designed by Richard Launius (Arkham Horror, Elder Sign), the Sentinels of the Multiverse: Enhanced Edition features 36 divider cards, 120 round and 42 rectangular tokens for tracking hero and villain HP and damage modifiers, and a 20-page rulebook, complete with instructions, diagrams, a quick-start guide, and bios of the heroes and villains, all packaged in a larger box with enough space to hold 578 cards and still have room for all the cards from both the Rook City and Infernal Relics.
SRP: $39.95

Battleground Shout-out from Penny Arcade!
Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013
Penny Arcade blog author Sophie Prell has written an article on her experiences playing in the Pathfinder Arena at PAX East this year. Battleground gets a healthy shout-out for the innovative work put in by Craig Baker, Chad Kelble, and Jeff Coulton. Anyone who attends PAX East and comes anywhere near the Table Top Hall knows what an incredible job Craig does keeping the Arena a lively and fun place to die for three days straight. The sporadic cheers of “HUZZAH!” that can be heard reverberating throughout the hall attest to the heroic struggles unfolding on the bloody sands of the colosseum.
All this talk about the arena has me thinking we might need to reinstate this event at the Abington location on the weekends…
Here’s the linked article. Be sure to give it a read!

Abington New Location Opens January 1st
Monday, December 17th, 2012
Due to some unexpected delays, combined with a desire to avoid relocation so close to the holidays, Battleground Abington will be opening its new location on Tuesday, January 1st, 2013. It also seems a little wiser to open the store on the first day of a new year. Although we will be open for business, and hope that you’ll make the time to come down and check us out, expect that there will still be some work going on during that first week. Unlike opening a brand new store, moving a store presents some interesting challenges. Our plans are to keep the old location up and running until December 30th, at which point we’ll close the store and begin the major task of relocating our enormous inventory and all of our store fixtures and supplies. Volunteers are definitely welcome to come down and lend us a hand!
After we’ve moved in and the dust settles, we’ll announce our Grand Opening Party which will consist of a veritable three ring circus of gaming (or ten or twelve ring more likely), food & beverages, and TONS of prizes and giveaways!
The space is coming along quite nicely, and several Abington alumni have been instrumental in the construction of the new store. I’d like to thank Chad Kelble, Shaun “Earl” Macrae, Rich Curtin, and Andrew Kelble for lending us their expertise and skill. I really don’t know what I would have done without their dedication and craftsmanship!
If anyone is available and interested in volunteering to help us move on December 30 and December 31, send me an e-mail at derek@battlegroundgames.com and let me know your availability.
We’re almost at the finish line… or I guess, I should say, the starting line! See you there!

Battleground Abington is Moving!
Friday, November 2nd, 2012
The word has been slowly spreading and I’d like to officially confirm that Battleground Games & Hobbies’ Abington store will be moving to a much bigger and better location in approximately one month! We’ve been at our current spot for 10 years and the community there has really outgrown our present walls.
.
.
The new location is conveniently located only 0.3 miles from our old one; about a 30 second drive south on Route 18, still in Abington. The new store is considerably larger at 2,200 square feet and will give us tremendous freedom in creating a truly awesome gaming space for all Battleground customers. Additionally, the 25′ high ceilings will offer an openness that is virtually unknown in game stores.
.
.
It has always been our goal to try to provide a gaming environment that raises the bar for the community and I’m excited that this new location is going to provide opportunities for us to take this vision to the extreme. It’s our intent to create not just a game store but a gaming entertainment facility. We have a lot of plans on how to achieve this, beyond just a huge new location, and we’ll be revealing them over the next month as the store comes together.
.
.
We hope all of you will come along with us for the ride as Battleground takes this next big step on its journey. We’re so happy to have met so many great people over this past decade and we can’t wait to see where the next 10 years will take us!
Stay tuned…
