28mm Classic Fantasy Adventurers Packs released!


Following on from our re-mastering and re-releasing of the whole Various Nastly Things (VNT) classic high fantasy range of Undead and Monsters we have now released all of the Humans, Wizards and Halflings in the Classic Adventurers (CA) part of our classic range.  Designed back in the 1990's by industry leading sculptors these miniatures are in white metal and suitable for any fantasy system. Superb designs and concepts.  These can be purchased as six different packs or singles from those packs and there is a multitude box set too containing every CA pack with a saving too.  Go HERE or read on for details.  Remember we also have a large range of Orcs, Goblins, Hob-Goblins, Dwarves plus Barbarians and the Torture Chamber plus more.


“A college of magic is the place for any aspiring Wizard.  From the Youngling who is trying a feeble first in spell making to the young Mage who is adept at a few spells and strives for more and then the Magus at the height of his powers and influence who holds all in his thrall.  Elderly spell casters who are in the twilight and yet find employment.  Then there are those who fail as apprentices through drunkenness or sheer dimwitted act they end up as offal and charred or worse remains upon the ground.  A Wizards Progression can be a rewarding one...or one fraught with danger!”

“Will you go down to the woods today?  You better take some supplies.  Why?  Well the woods can be a dangerous place but not for all those who travel through them when you bump into a party of Halflings out for a walk.  Share your bread and cheese with them and your bottled ale too.  Why?  It will be best for you and they will reward you with tall tales and with song and dance too.  But come without your supplies and those same Halflings will dance a merry dance with their hard soled feet upon your own and all week long you will hobble not walk!”

“Out of the light and in the darkness are the adventurers who would do ill upon the world.  Some are savage and some noble with other skilled in abduction and in theft too but all are cruel.  Cruel and with a streak of evil in their bones that makes them so.  Often in the service of nefarious warlords or skulking dark mages these adventurers love gold above all else and will kill with ease to get it.”

“Have you a task?  An undertaking that will chill the marrow and weaken the nerves of ordinary henchmen and soldiers?  A treasure to find in the dank of a dungeon?  A maiden to rescue from a slavering monster?  A rich merchant who wishes to travel through the darkest and highest hills where none tread?  All these tasks and more that make fine stories or tragedies have one feature in common...Adventurers.  Adventurers possess the nerve and the vigour to take on these tasks and the skills to ensure their success.  Knights, Wizards, Rogues, Barbarians, Bards, Rangers and many more will hire you their help in your task...promise them danger and legend!”

“Your party has found their lair.  Your party has cut through the undergrowth and scaled the walls.  Your party has hacked its way through the henchmen and your party has overcome the traps that litter the ground.  Your party has lost some members and tears have been shed as those remaining climb the stone stair case and enter the chamber in which the deadly foe you have sought resides.

“It is as you climb the final stair case that you look back over your shoulder.  It was not in the town not in the Inn that you noticed.  It was not in the woods when the Goblins attacked that you saw.  Not in assaulting the Dark Summoner in his castle that you realised amid his minions and their spraying blood no.  It is as you climb the final stair case and face the door behind which evil resides waiting that you look back and realise now is the time.  The Fighter steps forward muscles rippling and jaw set tight.  This is his task, his destiny.  He will go through that door and emerge triumphant or not at all!”
