Dogmen of Pudigroan divisional army pack for Slaughterloo and Flintloque

The miniature range for The World of Valon (Flintloque and Slaughterloo and more) is huge and when it comes to mass battle we have a full array of 'DAPs' (Divisional Army Packs) for all of the armies that fight in the Mordredian Wars.  We are in the process of updating the imagery of these DAP's.  The new photos of this division and the units which make it up come from our painting studio which produces many thousands of pro-painted and based miniatures each year to a fine tabletop quality and great price.  This division has already sold online but you can see our current painted and ready to ship stock of units, sections, characters, specials and more for the World of Valon HERE (the stock is updated every week).  What you see is what you are buying and most items are a stock level of one.

Give us our revenge was the only request of the thirty thousand Dogmen who marched into Armorican service. Give us the chance to kill Ostarians and we will. The Emperor Mordred was only too happy to oblige them and in addition to training them in Elvish drill he armed them with his firelocks and give them his artillerie was well. There are more than a dozen regiments of Pudigroan in the field and they possess all arms including artillery. You can see the full range HERE.

When not in battle nor on the march we all need somewhere to rest our heads.  A bell shaped tent with space for four to six occupants and made from canvas is just what is needed.

I know that no one leaves full barrels of beer behind even on a fearsome winter retreat in the face of the enemy..so I prefer to think that the wooden vessels upon this abandoned wagon are empty.

We have many new releases coming for HOT before the end of 2020 but we prioritised the existing range during this challenging time.  More on the new when the time comes. See the whole range HERE and read on for details.

These are the packs which have returned.  Each can be had as a pack or as a 'one of each pose in the pack' sampler ideal for skirmishing if you do not wish to build warbands or units.

HOT40 Skeleton Archers

HOT41 Skeleton Spears

HOT99 Skeleton Eternal Guard

HOT95 Ghosts

The HOT range is quite large with around one hundred and twenty different codes covering many fantasy races and monsters.  We recommend, if you do not wish to simply peruse the pages that you click on the 'filter by' button as shown and narrow the codes to say Undead.

Thank you for your time.

New Modern Tents 15mm scale now released!

Everyone needs somewhere to sleep and often it is not possible to get forty winks in a four poster when you are out in the field up against the enemy.

Now released into our 15mm ranges new packs of modern tents sculpted by Elton Waters.  These go excellently with our HOF 15mm Science Fiction miniatures.  Go HERE or read on for more.

Further restored codes added to The Torture Chamber collection

We have now added the last of the originally released codes re-mastered into the Torture Chamber range.  This completes what was around in the early 1980's.  During our deep delve into returning this requested range for collectors and diorama makers we discovered and then confirmed a couple of further codes which were never released.  Yes, never released.  These are currently being re-mastered and will arrive later in 2020 effectively brand new! 

This time we present a pack code and two singles.  Go HERE or read on for more.  Please note adult themes in this range.

TOR16 The Burning Pit

Suitable for 28mm and 25mm uses this scenic pack contains two components these being the fire pit with its base and two upright spit holders and a near nude female victim tied to a long spit with turning handle. Easy to assemble. You can purchase a pack, or choose the the pit pieces on their own or the victim on spit on her own. Choose on screen.

TOR7B Slave Girl
This code is a single metal miniature which suits 28mm and 15mm scale uses. Laying on her back she is 27mm from foot to forehead.  Cloth bindings on her wrists and ankles her back is arched. This miniature is expanded out from the TOR15 Slave Girls and TOR7 Snake Pit codes.

TOR15Pt3 Dancing Girl
This code is a single metal miniature which suits 28mm and 15mm scale uses.  She stands 25mm to eye line.  A dancing girl for any setting dressed in a two piece costume. This miniature is expanded out from the TOR15 Harem codes.

These Torture Chamber codes are our last 28mm fantasy releases for this month.  The rest of July 2020 is all about 15mm Science Fiction and of course Flintloque too!

Dwarf Runic Golem - 65mm tall Warmachine

"The Guild of Spellsmiths and the Guild of Blacksmiths do not often clank tankards of Beir but when they do great things happen. Imagine said Gumblebeard the greatest of the white wizards what we could do with an axe wielder as large as the common Troll but alas our magics will not take a physical form on the field of battle without intricate preparation. Such preparation is hard enough without some stinking Gobber trying to cave your skull in. Tamble 'Blowback' Rustmaker chief of the Guild of Blacksmiths replied to this impassioned speech without spilling a drop of golden hops. Such a huge warrior would be most welcome and we can hammer and smith our way to clothing him but there is no Dwarf in the realm so big to wear it... Sparkes or raw mind forging flew from them both and with a resounding clank of tankards they spoke in unison. Between us we can build it and bind it with magic runes. A golem will take to the field of battle. A Dwarf Runic Golem!"

Our popular big backup muscle for 28mm Fantasy Dwarf Armies is now re-mastered and back on the website with a wee offer.  A resin kit of five pieces with a small amount of pose choice the Golem stands at 65mm tall and comes with a 50mm square base included.  Other miniatures are shown for scale and not included.  See it HERE.

The Golem featured in the expansion 'Hammer and Forge' to Song of Blades and Heroes by Ganesha Games as part of their 28mm Fantasy Range of Dwarves and much more.

15mm Elephants for Blemye, Sassanid and Selucid return to Isarus range

After an absence of several years we are delighted to announce the return of three Elephants to three different 15mm armies in our Dark Age Isarus range.  They are re-mastered classic Tabletop Miniatures.  See the whole range HERE or read on for more. 

These largest of land animals can be found in each of their respective armies alongside infantry, cavalry, command and more.  The easiest way to find them among the fourteen different empires and peoples of the range is to click on the red 'Filter By' button (as you can see in the image below) and then select the army which interests you such as Byzantine or Vikings.  

Each elephant comes with either integral crew or a separate crew with howdah and weapons.  Great for any 15mm scale game system such as DBA and DBM.
