Miniature Wargaming the Movie Kickstater

 I have to give this great project a plug, as I prepare to move to a possible Wargaming black hole, I don't want to let my enthusiasm wane and anything that will keep this great Hobby stronger and more prominent the better. Consider supporting the movie.

Once again drooling a little over these.

Warlord Games

Two exciting previews for AFV lovers – a first look at our new plastic Sd.kfz 234/2 Puma armoured car by renowned scale model manufacturer Italeri as well as another project coming through fast…

The Puma is the next plastic kit to be released after the Panzer IV. You’ll be blown away by the detailing on this vehicle!

BattleFront Miniatures: Flames of War Early War Sale

Party Like Its 1941

In November 2009 we embarked on an ambitious project to go back to where the war began and started work on what would become Blitzkrieg. Over the next five years we spent over 5,500 hours creating the Early-war series of books and covering the period like no one has done before. Let us roll out the numbers… • We wrote over 760 pages of content. • We created 117 new companies. • We laid up over 800 platoon diagrams. • We sculpted, painted, and released over 250 products. • Hundreds of people around the world helped out as play testers or contributors. • And we took more photos and wrote more web articles than we can possibly count!

Check out all of the Early-war products in the online store here...

Sitting around the table and getting all nostalgic was fun for us but it was not going to help people get tanks on the table and we want everyone to have the chance to enjoy Early-war as much as we do. So next week we are launching an Early-war sale covering pretty much every tank, gun, infantry team (as well as a few other things) with an E on it. For a limited time you will be able to buy two and get a third for free. We will also have special pricing on the Early-war books (Blitzkrieg, Hellfire and Back, Burning Empires and Rising Sun) so you can complete your collection or start a new theatre. We are also going to put a cap on the amount you are going to pay for shipping so you can spend more on figures and less on freight.

Download a Excel spreadsheet of all the products included in the Early-war sale here... Sale Starts 19 September!

So where too from here? Early War is now done…but is it? Getting to Barbarossa and the end of our Early-war book plan does not mean that Early-war gaming has to come to an end! Wayne has been working on a few extra digital briefings covering Belgium to Yugoslavia, Mike always has something up his sleeve, Phil keeps talking about Fallschirmjäger and the White Cliffs of Dover, and did someone say Early-war Experimentals? And don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about the Hungarians or Romanians either! Right: The cover of Barbarossa: Germany's Invasion Of The Soviet Union, June - December 1941.

Early-war Sale Q & A

Q: Will the new Barbarossa book and releases be included in the sale? A: Barbarossa is released after the conclusion of the sale. However this is a great opportunity to get your supporting units and figures in preparation for the release of this book. Q: How is the discount calculated? A: We will sort your purchases in descending price order and change every third sale item to $0. So if you ordered 2 BR702 BEF Rifle Platoons ($18 USD each), 1 BR310 Daimler Dingo ($14.50 USD) and 3 BR052 Matilda IIs ($13 USD each), you would get the blister of Daimler Dingos and 1 of the Matilda II blisters for free. Q: Do books count towards the Buy 2, Get 1 Free deal? A: Yes. If you add any of the four books to your order they will count towards the buying 2 and getting 1 free (at the discounted prices obviously). So if you buy 1 book and 2 other products you will get 1 of them for free. Q: Will there be stock? A: Yes, although if demand is higher than our stock levels we will get it made as soon as possible and have orders completely fulfilled in the same order that they came through the webstore. Orders will be fulfilled in the order that they are received so get in early to avoid disappointment. Q: My Order shows my shipping is more than the (above) listed maximum, what gives? A: Our webstore automatically calculates shipping costs, so your total will show as the calculated value. When we fulfill the order, we will chop off anything in excess of your region's maximum (listed above)! Q: How long does the sale last? A: The sale starts on 19 September 2014 and ends 6 October. The front page of the website will be updated once the store has the sale pricing.

September 12, 2014 - Bolt Action, Latest Products - Tagged: Bolt Action, terrain

Add some authentic detail to your battlefields with this new range of resin scatter terrain. Designed primarily for World War II era battles, many of the pieces look just as at home in a Black Powder battle, Judge Dredd and Gates of Antares games, or even the Wild West.
The first set is a large collection of crates, barrels, sacks and boxes, stacked in piles. They look great to depict a warehouse or supply post, and provide useful cover for your infantry!

Set 2 provides individual crates and boxes, including some larger ones. These could also be put to good use as cargo in your trucks and halftracks:

The Factory set contains some big industrial supplies – wire coils, pipes and stacks of timber:

Finally we have a selection of food crates and baskets containing fruit, vegetables and fish!

This box set contains 30 highly detailed multi-part plastic miniatures representing volunteer militia that fought for both freedom and in defense of His Majesty King George.

The box includes three sprues of militia with arms and options to create officers, musicians, and equip the soldiers with tomahawks. There are enough plastic bases for all 30 miniatures and the militia parts are interchangeable with other kits in the American War of Independence range allowing for dynamic and creative options.

Hallowed Ground Terrain has released the Watchtower Shack Set & Deer Hunter River Hut with dock and PoW cage. We also launched our first set in the ancient world with our Roman Marching Camp Fort. With the first Roman set out, we have a Roman walled city ready to go into production in the next week or so. We are now working on the design concept for a Roman Milecastle from Hadrian's Wall. 

With luck, that will be a Christmas release. nd just to show the Vietnam crowd we haven't forgotten about them, we have a PBR Mk2 in design. Note that from now on most of the releases will be available in both 15mm and 28mm with the masters being highly detailled 28mm sculptures. Interested in seeing a review of their previously released 15mm Scenic Vietnam Range take a peak here at our thoroughly illustrated review.

Mad Bob Miniatures:

Many of you will have seen my previous work, either on my Facebook page, the Boltaction.net forums, or in person at one of the many tournaments I attend. I focus on the more esoteric items of World War Two equipment, that are rarely produced by the existing manufacturers.
My products are 1/56 scale (28mm) resin vehicles and artillery. I know how to make things sturdy and simple to assemble, I find this essential for wargaming purposes. For this project I hope to introduce an entire range of Hungarian vehicles to help plug the near complete absence of Hungarian ranges in this scale. As with all my products, these models will be cast in resin and supplied unassembled and unpainted.

Here are a few painted examples of models that will be released as part of this Kickstarter:

Toldi I test cast

Toldi IIa test cast

 

Nimrod test cast
