Olleys Armies Steampunk & Victorian Scrunts, Final Week

As Olley's Armies Scrunts Kickstarter enters its final week they have hit their target and continue to add more options.

These excellent Steam Punk styled Dwarf Miniatures are beautiful and come with a huge range of options. The Kickstarter now includes a Steam Tank and is very reasonably priced. I highly recommend Clicking HERE and having a look.

Grenadier Dragon Lords.

It's been a long..ish time since I postage about anything other than KS things but that's not to say I haven't been doing anything else.

A few weeks I managed to get my grubby little paws on some goodies at a very reasonable price.

As I've said in previous posts I've always been a huge fan of the classic 80s Dragons, so this was a real find for me.

Ral Partha Draconians.

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the old 25mm Ral Partha and Grenadier miniatures. I remember collecting and painting the Dragons as a small whelp and will probably always think that they are some of best Dragons you can set your hands on, a tad linear I admit, but compare them to some of the newer beasts out there and you'll see what I mean. Though my opinion may be tainted.

Grenadier Miniatures, Black Dragon 2. From the Dragon Lords Range.

Now then,  I've been trying to get my hands on a set of Ral Parthas Dragonlance Draconian for an age, but the £70.00 plus price point has always been an issue, thus I have looked on from a distance and been left wanting.

Until the other week that is.

That's not Handy >.>

So as I said in my last post, we've all gotten into hordes.

This has given me an extra push to actually get some painting done. I've not really been inspired enough of late to sit down and concentrate on painting, but a new game, new figures, new colours. 

YAY, I'm off again.

Anyhow this is my first batch of completed Mini's 

Not the greatest Paint Jobs out there, but I'm more than happy with the end result. So now it's onto my Carniven....

Or it would have been, if Fate and Stupidity didn't decide to raise their ugly heads...

Spiral Fractures to both of my middle fingers

So after a Gladiators style Bouncy Castle related incident I have a big swollen and very painful right hand, with two busted fingers.

Luckily I'm right handed so... erm... crap.

Nope, cant even hold a paintbrush at the moment, let alone paint anything.

Not best pleased about this turn of events, but that's the way it is I guess.

Still I am pleased that I got my Shredders finished before messing myself up.

Sucks.

Hordes, Hmmm

So yeah, OK. I admit it I've put off Hordes and Warmachine for a while. Although I've always loved the look and style of the Mini's I've never... well... wanted to get into the game. Thus I have always looked on from a distance.

I caved...

God I feel so dirty, but after spending a day at the MK show, me and a buddy decided we would get the Two Player Starter between us, luckily for us both, I liked the Everblight and he liked the Circle (maybe a tad to much) so it all worked out well. He and another pal had an intro game of Hordes at the show, while I introduced my three year old to the hobby via an intro game of Warmachine.

Hell Dorado: Lost and Saracens Starters. Review

 

I've been thinking about taking a closer look at Hell Dorado for quite the time. Then after getting a few sets in stock for the store, and with the new Inferno Kickstarter I decided to take the plunge and give it a go. And from what I've seen so far, I'm kinda glad I did.

So as I said I picked the Lost and Saracens starter boxes. The Lost because they look amazing huge humanoid beast creatures. And the Saracens purely because they have a Final Fantasy 11 Blue Mage vibe about them.

Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster. Released ^.^

YAY Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster is officially out in the UK and the USA and guess what.

Voidsign Collectables has a load of them in stock.

 

Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster. The first game set in the exciting Sedition Wars universe, Battle for Alabaster pits the heroic Vanguard against the twisted Strain. The box set contains everything you need to play this exciting tactical miniatures strategy board game.

Battle for Alabaster: £69.99 Free UK Shipping

Mantic Games Enforcers Reveiw

OK OK so I couldn't resist. I had to pop an army set open and take a wee peak inside.

And I'm kinda glad that I did.

Pretty picture, boom boom crish...

Lets start off with the box, the art is lush, I really love the look of the Enforcers. It's the standard style Mantic box, a bit thin on the board but the Artwork as always is crisp and very well printed. As I stated in my last post they look like a spin off from the Doberman Voomers from Bubblegum Crisis which is probably why I like them so much.

Happy Halloween.

Happy Halloween everyone. Yup its that time of the year again where you carve your Pumpkins, dust of the sheets and run around dressed up as some member of the undead.

Mantic Games Abyssal Dwarfs Reveiw.

So I got me some Abyssal Dwarfs from Mantic Games, purely to use as Chaos Dwarfs in Warhammer but that's beside the point.

 

A nice big box ^.^

I received the Abyssal Dwarf Army RRP £64.99 and the Abyssal Dwarf King RRP £7.49. Not bad for 43 miniatures.

Split in Two!

As the title would sugest something has been split in two. Well that would be this blog.

From the beginning I wanted to keep this a hobby blog, but over the last month or so its become a tad more business like.

 

So, I have decided to split this blog into a store.. ish type blog, and a hobby blog.

Mantic Enforcers

Voidsign Collectables has now had its delivery of Mantic Games Enforcers Miniatures come into stock. I have to admit I was mighty impressed with just how good these figures are.

Great Artwork on the Army Box

Metal Blistered Enforcers Captain

Standard Enforcers Strike Team Box Set

s I said they are some fantastic looking miniatures. They Kinda remind me of the Doberman's from Bubblegum Crisis.

Bubblegum Crisis, Still Awesome.

Kaon Rising

As a mentioned in a previous post I'm working on a small Chaos force based on Kaon's Despoilers shown in White Dwarf 135. Now I know that I had a bit of a break from the Blog but that's not to say that I had a break from all of my projects.

 

Here's a reminder of what I am basing my force on.

 

Reaper's Kickstarter = $3,429,236

Yup three and a half Million Dollars.

 

I personally think that's a tad on the crazy side, but considering just what you got if you pledged I'm not really surprised that it reached that level.

 

What did you get, well I could list it all but I'm not gunna, so instead here's a pretty picture.

So then, in total that's 241 mini's for $100 that makes it, well not a lot per mini (about $0.24 per mini). It was an awesome deal, and the add ons are fantastic. I can see me loading up on dragons and giants as soon as the pledge manager arrives.

 

But, what am I gunna use em all for...

 

In short. Heroquest. With this set I can pretty much replace everything in the box with (what I think) are nicer mini's. Sure the scale is off (Bones = 25mm, HQ = 28mm) but meh. The quality of the sculpts looks fantastic and there are loads of them.

 

So yeah, if you missed out on this, I feel for you. If you pledged, congrats. Its a lot of swag that's gunna be hitting your door step in March.

 

Just gotta wait now >.<

Dreadball Kickstarter. Updated.

Well Mantic Games Kickstarter for Dreadball starts Midday tomorrow 24/08/2012 and I gotta say from what I’ve seen this is going to get my backing.

 

 

Reaper Kickstarter. 2mil and Counting.

Well as some of you will know Reaper Miniatures have been producing excellent quality miniatures for the past two decades. Now they are on an adventure / mission to bring affordable gaming back into our lives.

Their Bones series is shaping up nicely using the latest moulding techniques to bring excellent detail to their new Polymer miniatures. From what I have seen this 25mm range is clean, crisp with detail and has a low price point. All good ^.^

Busy times...

Hey hey, there you all are. I was looking for you, sorry I was gone for so long, truth is I kinda lost track with the blog for the past couple of months.

I’ve been sidetracked working on a project that has taken up pretty much all of my spare time, but I honestly believe that when you all see what it is you will understand why my blog had to take a back seat. I don’t want to go into too much detail at the moment as there is a huge chance that it will still fall on it arse and I don’t want to jinx it, if you know what I mean.

 

Anyhow in the mean time stand by for a Koan update as I’ve managed to get some footwork done there. And hopefully I’ll start updating regular basis again starting from today.

On A side note, an awesome picture.

Awesome with a side or sauce.

Advanced Space Crusade.

Ok so the title may be a tad misleading, this post is a shout out for a friend of mine who is selling some nice miniatures via Ebay.

Listings include, a pretty near complete Advanced Space Crusade (Awesome game) and a bundle of Lord of the Rings goodies.

Great Game.

Their Ebay listings can be found HERE, so have a gander, and if there is something that catches your eye. Then it was well worth the click.

Auctions start to close at around 7pm this Sunday. But new and exciting wargaming shinnies are listed quite frequently, so check back often.

Oh and on a side note, I'll have more stuff up tomoz as well ^.^

Marauder Miniatures: Kaon's Despoilers Chaos Army.

In issue ??? of White Dwarf released in 1991 I remember seeing an offer for a 2000 point Chaos Army. I remember looking at this small force and wanting it so bad. In those days though the £57 asking price was really high, so alas I was left to look at the images and dream. I would however buy it today if it was offered at that price now. But times they do change...

  

I don't think this would even be 1000pts by today's standards.

Recently I found a copy of this White Dwarf while trying to collect all the Space Hulk related issues and came accross this offer once again. Suddenly it was twenty one years ago again, Do Want!

Work In Progress: Bane Legions Muldo

This is going to be my Work in Progress post for my Bane Legions Muldo, I'm not going to do a separate post each and every time I add a highlight,  instead I'm going to update this post and pop it at the top of my post list whenever I get to a point that I think is worth showing.

  

Assembled and ready to go.
