I feel like I must have missed an announcement but evidently barricades are now in stores and available:

Was there a recent announcement or article that I missed and, more importantly, is there anything else in there except for the plastic?

Yup, there was: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2018/6/21/take-cover/

and nope, apparently there isn't ?

Yeah I don’t think you missed it... more just nobody cares.

Youll see more discussiin when the objectives terrain pack drops.

Especially as most of the players at my local store bought 2+ Core sets, no one was excited about the barricade releases. I think the store didn't have many (if any) pre-orders for once.

However, they will make decent terrain for other 28mm sci-fi (and some fantasy) games like WH40k, Infinity, etc.

i've used them for infinity already. they work beautifully! which is nice because i currently don't have very much scatter terrain and i need to build up more of it
