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.

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.

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.

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 ^.^

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!

Money and Time and being a Dad.

Wargaming on a limited budget and with limited time can be quite frustrating. There are so many things that I want to collect, that I want to build and that I want to play. But alas due to time restraints and mainly a lack of  funding I have to pick and choose my way through the forest of Miniature Wargaming and stick to what I deem to be the best options. Sedition Wars in one such option and as mentioned in my last post, I'm having to sell a few things just so I can fund that.

   

To Make Ends Meet! It's gotta go!

As it states above I'm in need of funding in order to forward my hobby.

As such I've listed some of the extra items that I have on Ebay.

These are items that I bought on a whim or another member of our gaming Possy owns and we only need one in order to play. And, yeah, I say possy cuz we're cool, we all wear cowboy hats and loin cloths when we play D&D... anyhow I'm getting off point.

Only one needed to play.

Bane Legions Galhwch Lladd Llaw

Many of you will probably know of Bane Legions and their fantastic range of resin miniatures. And with good reason, from what I have seen, heard and read they are probably the best mini's money can buy. I've been umming and arghing about their products for quite a while now, and all though some of it doesn't take my fancy for one reason or another, some of it really does get my attention. I've just ordered a a couple of their minis for my own collection and thought that I would go for something small, so I went for Ulric and Muldo, initially to use as bosses in a Hero Quest quest that I'm working on, but also because they are very nice evil looking mini's and I want to paint them. As soon as I get them, expect something that almost resembles a review.

Ulreg, he has a huge Axe.

Muldo, looks like something out of Resident Evil.

Anyhow, today while I was aimlessly wondering the world of the interweb, killing time and no doubt my brain, I came across this beast. Again, by Bane Legions, Galhwch Lladd Llaw. Oh my, Oh oh oh My.
  

Anthropomorphic Dragony Goodness.

Just looking at Galhwch I start to drool, the figure looks amazing. HUGE and amazing. Standing at 86mm its going to tower over any adventurer that happens across its path. And the fact that it's reptilian means that its man parts should be tucked neatly inside the base of tail, so there won't be any surprises for anyone who happens to look under his groin armour. Galhwch is a kind of cross bread boasting human proportions with a splash of Dragon thrown in for good measure. A huge frame nicely rounded off with some battered armour, and spikes. You can see from the pictures, it's just nice. I want him. 
    

Mimics the concept design perfectley.

Studio McVey Sedition Wars. Frontline Give Away.

Every now and then something comes along and it really gets me excited.

After looking on the Studio McVey site and the Sedition Wars Kickstarter page, this game is starting to become one of those things, and not just the game. The mini's available for Sedition Wars in the McVey store are pretty damn nice as well. But, what do you expect from Studio McVey though.

But, I want it now.

The Game Battle for Alabaster is due out at the end of the year, and in case you didn't know, Cool Mini or Not along with Studio McVey have started a Kickstarter in order to get the game released on time and up to the standard that both we and they expect.

That Looks Nice!

Due to being ill and not having anything to do with the Wargaming world I've not updated the blog in over a week. Even so Voidsigns has been up again for a little over a month and I've noticed that I'm about to hit 600 hits. In the grand sceme of things that's quite a small number but considering this blog had been up for a few years and was only at 47 hits when I started writting about my hobbies I'm pretty impressed with it.

Anyhow, I wanted to say thanks to everyone thats had a look and hope that more people will follow and continue to read my ramblings in the futures.

So, as the title says, That Looks Nice.

I am referring to the following:

Avatars of War

While looking for mini’s to represent the various characters that ran around the board in a game of Talisman as well as another “Project” I’m working on, I stumbled across the Avatars of War site.

I’ve wanted to get hold of a few of their Mini’s for a while. Just as painting projects really, however I’ve not managed to get my grubby little mitts on any yet. But, from what I’ve seen in the pictures I have to say the mini’s look wonderful.I know these mini’s were designed to represent core characters in existing fantasy wargames but AoW have also released the Arena Deathmatch game to back up their already impressive miniature range.

On Order, from Maelstrom ^.^

Now that I’ve downloaded the rules from the AoW site and had a gander at them, I have to say that I’m very interested in exploring this game further than just the miniature side. My mind is bristling with ideas of making an arena for six to ten models to fight to the death in.

Also on order, as well as the Wood Elf Hero.

I think that this may be a project that will push a couple of other little things aside for a while, but meh. The mini’s can be used in quite a few games, and if I do make a 24”x24” arena for the game I’m sure if I build it right I can include that in a few other games as well.

Not on order but it is a great looking figure.

Anyhow, I’ve ordered a couple of the Mini’s and the Arena Deathmatch Rulebook so when they get here I’ll throw some pictures up. I’m not going to go into full on reviews, but I will shout out my personal opinion about them.

This looks like it could be fun ^^
