Festive Pukki small Fomorians new 28mm in the Christmas range

Cheeky little chaps from the mythical land of Erin and coming across from our Celtic Mythology range we have a fun new pack of Festive Pukki!  

The Erin Range is going to expand a lot in 2023 and this is a taste of what is coming next year though of course they will not be sporting Christmas Puddings.  

Five different metal miniatures which can be had as a pack or as singles within on its page.  Vicious but cute with their scarves, gloves, hats and presents. Seek out SN11 Festive Pucci in our Seasons of Celebration Range alongside all the other 28mm and 15mm to be found there. 

As you can see the Festive Pukki are inspired from the early 1990's originals among the Fomorians consisting of Heroes, Champions, Storm Warriors, Warriors and other Pucci such as Sumach.  There are more Pukki coming next year from us....

We have four different packs of 28mm Snowmen ranging from typical to fantasy, science fiction and black powder too for Flintloque fans.  There is also a saver set giving you all twelve Snowmen with a discount.  Great for any setting you like.

"She was a young flower plucked from the coarse bracken to be his bride. In gown of silk and purest white she waited for him. Blood red roses in her hands; her fingers without a ring awaiting him. A bride for a life of promise, joy and a future of a child so soon. But he never came. The day passed and the sun dipped low and then below the veil of the sky. Cold came and then darkness while she stood waiting. The roses wilted and her skin became like ice. No one came for the shame on her was all to well known. As the sun rose the once maiden had left dishonour and life behind and the cold no longer bit at and within her. Those who came upon her now ran in terror and the dress of death would never leave her. She had become of another realm. A creature; a ghostly bride."  See 55030 Ghostly Bride above.

15mm Scale Christmas Miniatures

In 15mm scale we have an entire HOTT 24AP Army with free bases, a Sampler Pack as well as Snowmen, Xmas Trees, Gingerbread Men, Psycho Present, Abominable Snow Monsters and of course Jack Frost too.  All in the same collection on the website.

Thank you for your attention and an early Merry Christmas!

Juliet Constantine changed her pose, readied herself and then with her sword in both hands made a practised swing and took Valadon's head clean from his shoulders. As the head tumbled the pain of her wounds returned. It seemed symbolic though of what she could not possibly think... 

 

CE27-01 Juliet Constantine: This code contains one metal 28mm scale female Elf armed with a sabre and in the uniform of the Gardes de Consuls. A consummate sword master she has won many duels during the collapse of the Crystal Empire and the ensuing Ferach Revolution. Approximately 28mm in height. 

 

 

The wider range of Crystal Elves in is on our website. You can find many poses suitable for En Garde as well as excellent Archers, Warriors, Cavalry and personalities too. Packs and singles within the packs. Great for many uses.

A week left pre-order offer En Garde plus free duellist and free resources too

To save 20% off the price of the brand new En Garde duelling rules as well as all the miniatures and the book with ten figures bundle you have until the morning of Friday 21st October to place your order.  Go HERE.  If you missed the original announcement last week see it on our BLOG.

You need only two miniatures to play En Garde and you can also insert duels with sword, pistol on horseback or grand melee into larger skirmish games such as Flintloque.  It is a two player game.

En Garde is a stand alone tabletop game of Elvish Duelling set upon the very cusp of a civil war. A war which will tear the Crystal Empire apart and see Crown Prince  Mordred replace his mother the Empress Morgana upon the Peacock Throne.  A war which, when it comes, will see Wylde Magicke usurped from its paramount place in Urop and the power of Black Powder take the Elves and then all of Valon by storm.  Tensions run high between the Imperial Elves and the new Garde followers of Mordred.  The old ways are crumbling and power is up for grabs. Duelling is a matter of personal honour and the ultimate test of skill.  Will you prevail?  Now take up your sword and assume a guarding stance!

You will find inside:

Complete Rules for Duelling

Create and arm your Characters

Sword Schools and Combat Skills

Honour and Reputation Development

Duelling with Swords, with Pistols and on Horseback

Expanded rules for The Grand Melee

The Types of Arenas in En Garde

You will also find a story which takes you to the very start of the story of the setting of Flintloque the Skirmish in a time as the Darke Age ends and the invention of the 'flintloque' and the ambition of Mordred sets the course for the Ferach Revolution and the Mordredian Wars.  Where it all began! 

Written by Steve Danes, Gavin Syme with artwork by Sam Croes and Edward Jackson.  

Hosted on our website a free read for you.  CLICK HERE for an example of a Sword Duel in play of En Garde.

Thank you for your support and all pre-orders containing the book and or the book with miniatures bundle will ship out from here in Scotland week commencing 24th October.  That will also be the day upon which the digital download version of the book will be released at 20% less than print as with all our Digital Titles.

Lemurians an exotic new army begins now in the HOF 15mm Sci Fi Range

The lost continent of Atlantis was no myth.  It was no powerless small island no.  It was a place of technology and arcane wonder too.  Masters of war and of genetics they loosed creatures upon the ancient world of terror and evil.  Creatures of legend. As a result of the pinnacle of their science the Atlantians opened a way between worlds and vanished from ours.  Burning horror accompanied their translocation and a mere seven Atlantians survived.  In the scant time they had left they created two forces of protection.  Resonating crystals to store their minds and memories and the Lemurians to safeguard their culture and to wage war against any enemies of Atlantis.  Possessed of keen minds and hunting instincts the gene bred lion folk carry crystals and make use of many weapons; excelling in close combat.  

From the mind of wargamer and long time hobby creator Fred Richards comes the start of an entire new army within the HOF 15mm Science Fiction range.  A force which is equally at home in a fantasy setting and is far from the typical space opera or near future fare.  Across the rest of this year and into 2023 the Lemurians a race of lion folk will have an array of infantry as well as characters, leaders, small vehicles and more.  We introduce them here with the first five packs to get you started.  As normal you can have a pack or single poses from within it as with the rest the now more than 180 packs in the range.

As you can see Lemurians who operate in the Leonid Legions are taller and more graceful than a Human.  Natural hunters.  As such it is the females of their race who make up Hunting Parties while the males and females are both in the armoured legions.  As the army expands it will all be held in the range on the LEMURIAN tag for easy finding.  

Lemurians carry a variety of weapons.  They excel in the use of the glaive a war spear and they have 'firearms' which are formed of Atlantian Crystal which is also found in their floating war and guardian crystals.  Hunting parties are the core skirmish level of their warriors.

We hope you enjoyed our brand new race and start of their army.  These are our science fiction and fantasy releases for the month.
