It’s Friday, and here on No Rerolls that means it’s time for an all-new 5 on Friday. We’re going to start with 5 exciting releases for this week before moving on to our usual digest of some of our favourite articles from the past week. Of course, we’re slow readers, so don’t be surprised if there are some articles that are a little older – these are just some of the great articles we happen to have actually read in the past week.
Releases & Previews
Every week there are many games, books, and miniatures released. This will probably be a mix of previews, preorders, and releases, and with release dates being the way they are in this industry, it’s always pretty approximate. Excuses out of the way, here are 5 of the releases that caught our attention this week:
Games Workshop releases a new AoS Battletome for the Disciples of Tzeentch – The new Disciples of Tzeentch Battletome leans into everything the faction does best: layered tricks, spell‑driven pressure, and that sense of the battlefield shifting under your opponent’s feet before they realise what’s happening. Big Tzeentch Energy!
Inside, you get a tighter, more focused ruleset that rewards planning, misdirection, and opportunistic bursts of power, giving the army a clearer identity without sanding off the faction’s signature unpredictability. Later in the post, I feature a good review that will give you some initial impressions of the book.

Arc Dream Publishing releases The New Age, a scenario for Delta Green – The New Age drops agents into a 1997 investigation that starts with a bizarre explosion and a dead colonel fused to his own floor, then spirals into Enolsis, its “Living Power,” and a cosmic threat no one should be able to ignore. It’s Delta Green at its most conspiratorial and uncanny.
The scenario blends cult paranoia, corporate shadows, and a looming astronomical impossibility into a tight, escalating operation that gives handlers a ready‑made descent from procedural weirdness into full‑blown cosmic dread. This is exactly the kind of nightmare at which Delta Green excels.

Wizards of the Coast set to release a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set for Magic: The Gathering – The upcoming TMNT Universes Beyond set brings the Turtles, their allies, and their rogues’ gallery into Magic with a mix of nostalgia, attitude, and sharp mechanical identity. It looks like it will be a proper celebration of the franchise.
Early previews show a set built around fast, synergistic play and character‑driven designs that actually feel like the Turtles and their world, giving the release a strong flavour hook and plenty of personality at the table

Archon Studio releases Twinfire set for the World of Tanks TCG – The Twinfire set pushes the World of Tanks TCG into faster, more explosive territory with a focus on coordinated strikes that give decks a real sense of momentum.
It introduces new mechanics built around pairing specific tanks and layering bonuses, letting you play in ways that feel fresh without losing the game’s grounded, armour‑on‑steel identity.

Free League releases The Flowers of Algorab for Coriolis – The Flowers of Algorab pushes Coriolis into darker, more conspiratorial territory; a campaign built around creeping dread, political tension, and the slow realisation that something ancient and hungry is blooming in the shadows of the Third Horizon.
It promises to weave investigation, faction intrigue, and escalating supernatural pressure into a layered narrative that gives groups plenty to dig into, grounding the cosmic horror in the setting’s familiar mix of mysticism, faith, and hard choices.

Blog Posts & Articles
The meat of 5 on Friday, the articles are listed in no particular order, so let’s get into some recommendations:
Disciples of Tzeentch Battletome Review (2026) – Warhammer Age of Sigmar 4th Edition @ Sprues & Brews – Sprues & Brews break down the new Disciples of Tzeentch Battletome with a clear, enthusiastic tour through its sweeping rules overhaul, revamped units, and illusion‑driven tricks, highlighting how the book opens up fresh builds and a far more dynamic, puzzle‑box playstyle for 4th edition.
Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2026 Edition (#10-1) @ Dude! Take Your Turn! – A brisk, affectionate capstone to the series, this final Top 10 rundown captures Dude! Take Your Turn!’s mix of enthusiasm, personal history, and sharp preferences. From Garphill stalwarts and Feld brain‑burners to wargame mainstays and the still‑unchallenged reign of Ark Nova, each write-up is delivered with the easy charm of someone who simply loves talking about the games that stuck with them.
Slouching Towards Tokyo Episodically @ Refereeing and Reflection – This post shines the spotlight on The Sutra of Pale Leaves as a standout Call of Cthulhu campaign; a culturally grounded, fully episodic collection of scenarios that blend Japanese horror sensibilities with smart structural design, letting each chapter stand alone while still feeding a larger thematic arc. It’s praised as one of Chaosium’s strongest releases in years, and a compelling case for more cross‑pollination between Japanese and Anglophone CoC scenes.
Weekly Commander: Maralen, Fae Ascendants @ J.M. Casual Blog – Interesting post about a fun commander! There are some great suggestions in here. I wrote up a sub-€20 deck around her, which I am now gathering the cards to build. I’m really looking forward to playing this deck!
Demo Planning: Gaslands @ Small Scale Victory – A thoughtful snapshot of prepping a Gaslands demo, this post weighs the game’s charm against its hidden complexity and lays out a streamlined plan – simple cars, short race, clear reference cards – to keep a tired after‑work crowd engaged. It’s a practical, self‑aware look at teaching a beloved miniatures game without overwhelming potential players. Also, there are lots of great photos!
