Mantic Games: Mars Attacks is coming!

2013-05-19T17:30:00.000+02:00

Mantic Games: We’re pleased to be working with Topps on a new licensed Mars Attacks tabletop wargame, due for release in 2014! Here’s the full story:

Is your tabletop ready to be invaded? The Topps Company and Mantic Games have joined forces to bring MARS ATTACKS to life as a miniature-based tabletop war-game! Combining high quality sculpted figures with fast and fun tactical gameplay, Mantic will deliver an exciting new dimension to the resurgent sci-fi property. Mantic Games, makers of the popular WARPATH and DREADBALL tabletop games, will make MARS ATTACKS their first license. “MARS ATTACKS is a cult classic series that fans have been falling in love with generation after generation,” says Ronnie Renton, Mantic CEO. “Its oddball blend of retro sci-fi visuals, dark humor and over-the-top violence will make for a unique tabletop experience… our team can’t wait to bring the Martians to life in ways no one has ever seen before!”

Set against the backdrop of the new and expanding MARS ATTACKS universe, the game will feature all of the fun and thrill of the classic series, plus new characters and factions that will see action in upcoming comic books and toys. It will also tie-in closely with Topps’ just-announced all-new trading card series, Mars Attacks: Invasion, releasing in October.

“MARS ATTACKS is a world where giant robots, mutated insects and hordes of Martian soldiers face off against Earth’s military and innocent civilians— how could you not want to see a game out of that?” says Topps’ Adam Levine. “Mantic has quickly become one of the best in the business, and they’re the perfect team to adapt our outrageous visuals into this exciting new form.” Mantic plans an early 2014 release. For more information on MARS ATTACKS, including regular updates on new products and cards, follow on facebook: www.facebook.com/MarsAttacks.

Mantic Games: Kings of War Trolls

2013-05-19T06:30:00.000+02:00

Mantic Games: Okay, the weather’s still a bit grim (in Nottingham, anyway) but we’re already preparing to kick off our Summer of Kings of War!

With a massive range of releases for Kings of War over June, July and August, it’s never been a better time to get involved with the fastest, easiest-to-learn Fantasy Battle Game there is. Following a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign last year, we’re now starting to receive painted models at Mantic HQ, and we’re going to spend the next seven days providing you with photos of as many Kings of War miniatures as we can! We’re starting today, with a first good look at the Trolls…

Trolls are large, feral humanoids of dim wits and insatiable appetite – perfect allies for the armies of Goblins, which use them as shock troops. Trolls can regenerate almost any wound and only fire can truly destroy them, while their crude war-clubs smash through armour and crush bones with terrifying ease.

Trolls are released in June 2013, and will be $25 (£15) for a set of 3, making a 120-point Troop in an Orc or Goblin army. Also, don’t forget that as long as you also take a solid unit of Orcs or Goblins, you can take them as allies for any other Evil army!

Warlord Games: Pullo and Vorenus, Heroes of Rome

2013-05-18T17:44:00.000+02:00

Warlord Games: Pullo and Vorenus are two names that many of you will be familiar with from the television series Rome. In the series, the two main characters are Centurion Lucius Vorenus and Legionary Titus Pullo. What you may not know is that the two characters were, in reality, two Roman centurions of the 11th Legion (Legio XI Claudia) mentioned in the writings of Julius Caesar; they appear in Caesar’s Commentarii de Bello Gallico.

Fierce rivals for promotion to primus pilus both distinguished themselves in 54 BC when in an effort to outdo Vorenus, Pullo charged out of the fortified camp and attacked the enemy, but was soon wounded and surrounded. Vorenus followed engaging his attackers, killing one and driving the rest back, but when he too lost his footing he was himself soon surrounded. Pullo in turn rescued Vorenus, and after killing several of the enemy, the pair returned to camp amid rapturous applause from their legion.

Not really font of these square cubes that represent Vietnam Hooches but never the less, here's the release by Battlefront Miniatures. But please if somebody need vietnam hooches in other scales or other terrain contact me and I will scratchbuild some for a good price!

The Battlefield in a Box range of tabletop-ready scenery is a quick and easy way to create a wargaming table straight out of the box, suitable for any scale miniature troops to fight over.

Built from a variety of materials, Vietnamese huts were simple buildings, and could be found throughout the countryside. Small villages could pose a problem to patrolling infantry, though, due to the number of places for enemy troops to hide.

Dreamforge Games: Leviathan Mortis

2013-05-16T17:30:00.000+02:00

Just found this upcoming plastic Leviathan Mortis from Dreamforge Games which will be released within 3 or 4 months. I like this Leviathan more than the previous one, not sure why probably the pose and the cool head combined with the massive scyth!

Some more information I just found: Release date... shooting for the 15th, depends on the re printed part turn around time. This will likely be on Ebay as I doubt I will have time to fix the broken website before then. Retail $120.00 (Kit will come with the Crusader head as well as the Mortis head) and the optional Vulkan Cannon $45.00. Quite steep pricing but awesome and huge model, be aware Games Workshop of these guys!

Empress Miniatures: Showcasing Italian Vehicles & Artillery

2013-05-15T11:30:00.001+02:00

Empress Miniatures: With the current interest in wargaming the Western Desert and North African campaigns, we felt it would be a good time to showcase our extensive range of 28mm Italian vehicles, figures, tanks and artillery.

Within our Spanish Civil War and Abyssinian ranges, we have a great number of figures and items which are perfect for North Africa in World War Two. These include a full series of CV33 and CV35 light tanks (including a Lanciafiamme), and an OM35 truck field-piece with full crew appropriately dressed for the theater.

We will be adding a dedicated World War Two section for these in time, but for now you can find them across both Spanish and Abyssinian ranges.

We will be attending Sheffield Wargames Society's Triples show on 18th and 19th of May. We welcome pre-orders for collection on the day!

Grekwood Miniatures: The Tenderiser and werewolves

2013-05-15T06:30:00.000+02:00

Grekwood Miniatures: I am pleased to announce that The Tenderiser is now finally available on our website. He is a twist on the classic executioner, and is armed with a heavy, tenderizing hammer!

He stands 45/46mm to the top of his head, and about 42/43mm to eye-level. He is 28mm "scale," so in real terms, he is about 9 feet tall!! Other releases include four werewolves, which are interchangeable and are made to fit 28mm "scale." Each werewolf is 40-45mm in height, which is roughly 8-9 feet in real-life terms. They currently come in four pack variations below, but the torso/head, legs, and arms are all interchangeable from pack to pack. Please note that some poses may work better with certain arm combinations.

These werewolves are large beasts, ready to terrorize your neighborhood, and require more than just one bullet to take down. So be prepared!

They are large because there are many smaller werewolves out there already, but less of the larger ones as seen in some movies and so forth. Also, I didn't want them super-muscular, I wanted them completely covered with hair (like a wolf). All can be located here in the 'new' section.

And welcome to Matt our latest follower!

Victrix Miniatures: New Ancient Greek and Napoleonic transfers

2013-05-14T17:30:00.000+02:00

Victrix Miniatures: Steve has been busy working on some new transfer sheets.

Firstly we have a new sheet for our Ancient Greeks. These transfers are for the Hoplite shield aprons that hang at the bottom of the shields. These lovely colourful designs will really help your Hoplite units stand out on the table. You could also use some of these for standards if you applied them to paper and hung from a cross bar.

We also have 7 new sheets of 54mm Canteen, backpack and rank insignia transfer sheets for our 54mm British Napoleonic’s. These really add that finishing touch to your figures. Should they prove popular more will be added to the range.

Wargames Foundry: Supporting GoblinAid

2013-05-14T06:30:00.000+02:00

Wargames Foundry: As well as the 22 we sold at Salute, we've sold 17 Goblinaid packs on our website in 4 days. It looks like they will continue to sell steadily. Amazing numbers of our customers have visited our Goblinaid page. We had a counter on it which got past 1600 hits before it stopped working!

We suspect that most of our Little Kevin sales have gone out to Goblinaid customers. By the time you read this we should have Little Kevin up on our FlyteOfFantasy eBay site: the FlyteOfFantasy site is our small collection of mostly fantasy odds and ends, that might be the best place for Kevin's fans to pick up the Goblinaid pack.

We've had a lot of people get in touch interested in a full set of all the hundred and seventeen Snorklings. At the moment we have none of Kevin's models for sale at all other than those in the Little Kevin pack. We did find a few blisters of Kevin's bigger orcs/ogres and take them to Salute. We do have a few left, but that's about it. We plan to rerelease all of Kevin's stuff one day: it's one of a number of fairly large projects we need to get done. Anyway, we feel that we shouldn't be tempting Kevin's fans with tales of rereleased old models on the horizon right now: we think it might cause people to delay buying the Goblinaid Kevin pack, and we think that we should concentrate on getting as many Goblinaid sales as we can as quickly as we can, as it's now that Kevin needs everyones help.

It will be an enormous task when we do finally get the chance make new moulds of all those snorklings: I think that a lot of them only exist at all as cavities scattered amongst the several thousand old master moulds stored in our even older stable.

If any of you are active on websites or discussion groups visited by fans of Kevin who might like to contribute through buying little Kevin from Foundry now and/or the models from Goblinaid team when they come out, we (and Kevin and the Goblinaid team) would be very grateful indeed if you could post links to the Goblinaid page and to the page on this website and our page on eBay.
