Year 2014

It’s time to bring out a couple of big guns from Kromlech in today’s review. We’re building the Orc Field Cannon, the Orc Howitzer, and also some Goblin Artillery Crew to go with them. These kits fit nicely into the WW2 Orc theme that Kromlech produces a lot of miniatures for, but we also think they’ll make great alternative models in a Warhammer 40k Ork army (as Mek Gunz with Gretchin Crew), or in another post-apocalyptic setting.

Hello, We have one week to go before our "Olleys Armies Prussian Army Scrunt Miniatures" Kickstarter ends and we have had added a number of miniatures as Stretchgoals. Which include, Five Close Combat Prussian Steampunk Scrunts, Prussian Scrunt HMG. Further stretchgoals include Kaiser Wilhelm, The Generals, A Medic, Mechanics, and sniper. The scrunts (dwarves) are in 28mm heroic scale and full details of scale and pricing for the rewards, can all be found on the Kickstarter Project page

It’s time to tune your ears in for a discussion between the Noble Northblade and the Gregarious Gdaybloke as they discuss a first-time GenCon attendee’s experiences at that most enormous of gaming events. Also, there’s a bunch of interviews at the end if you’re into that sort of thing. Ninja Division, Hawk Wargames, Wyrd, and of course, Privateer Press all have nuggets of wisdom to share. Please, enjoy.

In conjunction with the move to the new venue, development has begun behind the scenes as we prepare to kick AdeptiCon 2015 planning into full gear. One of the more significant changes in the coming year will be regarding how we handle demos, event games and smaller tournaments. In the past, space restrictions forced us to micromanage these events so that they all fit within the hotel and made sense with regards to the schedule. We will no longer have this problem at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center…we have the space…and we need more games! We are looking for a few good game masters to run demos, historical events, specialty games, board games, and anything else that makes sense!



AdeptiCon 2015 Event Submission is now open to the public. If you are interested in running an event, please take the time to look over the form and get it submitted as soon as possible. Some things to keep in mind:

Space and schedules are limited. Events that are new to AdeptiCon should be scaled appropriately to justify inclusion in the schedule based on space required and realistic attendance expectations. AdeptiCon will work with you to properly scale your event.
AdeptiCon reserves the right to refuse any event submission due to content or schedule/space saturation.
All required fields MUST BE fully completed when submitting this form. Incomplete submissions or submissions with placeholders will not be accepted.
Spell check your event descriptions!
Event Submission will close at 5PM CDT on October 3rd, 2014.
You will receive an email after the schedule has been resolved in mid-October with your scheduling details.
If you have any questions, please get in touch!

Fred Savadge has become our 8th patron of Gamers On Games and has pushed us to our 3rd goal in just 2 months! This would be the HEAVY GEAR narrative campaign! The miniatures for the campaign are currently being painted by master painter Blake Johnson and the story is being written by Cameron Johnson (no relation), as soon as the miniatures come back to us we will begin filming! Thank you guys so much for supporting Gamers on Games! We couldn't have made it this far without your support!

Beneath the Arcane Bookseller's in Wardenhale lies a secret. A deadly secret. A series of increasingly dangerous and evil chambers dedicated to the God of Blood.
Chambers of the Blood Cult is a printable dungeon floorplan compatible with any RPG/Dungeon-Crawl game. It can be used as a standalone gameboard, or combined with any same-scale tileset.



Chambers of the Blood Cult is a multiple level set, comprising 8 10x12 square battlemaps. The top level is an inocuous bookseller shop, but each level below becomes more dedicated to the Blood Cult. Features include arcane circles, piles of skulls, sacrificial slabs, altars, statues and shrines, pools of blood and more. The Chambers of the Blood Cult set is perfect for Chaos adventures, or the lair of a Vampire.

Also included is a set of 300dpi full size jpgs, for poster printing or VTT.

X00001_War_Game_Mat-48x48inch-District_5_01

Today we have released a new product 48x48 inch gaming mat designed specially for our infinity range of buildings :)

WGB-BKG-09-Blitzkrieg-leFH18-a

WGB-LHR-23-Heer-leFH18-40-howitzer-a

Boom! This week we release two variants of the classic German light field howitzer – the 10.5cm leFH 18.

With the premiere issue of Ares Magazine under their belt, One Small Step Games released more details about the content of the second issue.

“The first issue is on the shelf, so it’s time to let our readers know what’s coming up next,” says editor-in-chief Michael Anderson.
The next issue features six original science fiction and fantasy stories and the second installment in the ongoing novelette The Fall. Summaries of each story will be released over the next few weeks on the magazine’s blog.


Also included is an interview with voice actor Dino Andrade, best known for his villainous portrayals of Scarecrow in Batman: Arkham Asylum and the characters of Mimiron, Professor Putricide, and High Tinkerer Mekkatorque in World of Warcraft. Rounding out the issue is a science article exploring what it would take to build a space elevator by physicist Dr. Charles Adler, author of Wizards, Aliens, and Starships: Physics and Math in Fantasy and Science Fiction.

The second issue will also include CFS Quicksilver, a two-player game that takes place onboard a frigate-class starship in the not-too-distant future. One player controls the actions of the human crew while the other controls an alien infestation.

“The object behind the design is to create a high-tension and scary game to play,” says Anderson.

The editorial team had originally considered including a Greek mythology based multi-player game, Born of Titans, in the second issue, but the development of CFS Quicksilver went faster than anticipated.

“We had two great games—that’s one problem I don’t mind having,” Anderson says. “Ultimately, we decided that Quicksilver went better with the content in the second issue, so we’ll be running Born of Titans in a future issue.”

OSS Games aims to get the second issue into subscribers’ hands in November. In the meantime science fiction and gaming fans can buy the first issue at select comic books stores and online for $30.

So first off a little restructure of the stretch goals. We removed the d20 at $10,000 because people didn't really want anymore dice in their collection so I changed it to more icons and variables which is probably a lot better of a reward anyway.

We're about to hit $6,000 which will unlock the second backer voted image. Most likely tomorrow we will send out an update with a link to a survey containing choices to vote on for new scenes and icons.The majority of the comments we received all seemed to want a town scene as a place to start an adventure. So the first backer voted scene I didn't really think needed to be voted on and picked it based off the comments.

In this issue, we bring you reviews of products from Scale75, Ax Faction, Fantasy Realms Models, Painting Buddha and Sergeant BlackArt. We also have some brilliant tutorials including Sean Fulton painting the model he converted in last month’s issue and Justin McCoy from Secret Weapon Miniatures shows us how to paint a rusted Oldsmobile. Terry Cowell gives us his report from the latest Weekend Workshop that featured Alfonse Giraldes, but to get us started this month we have an Insight interview with one of the finest painters and modellers there is and someone who I’ve found to be a very helpful and cool guy all around Roman ‘Jarhead’ Lappat.

Don't forget you can also win a free display plinth every month by posting pictures of your painted miniatures on our facebook page and getting the most likes in a month.

In this hour long interview Bill had the privileged of speaking to Mike McTyre of Warpforged Games about their new kickstarter project, Mark of WAR. This is going to bring everything we gamers love about Table Top fantasy army scale games into our computers and animate it.

Check out the interview and if your interested, check out their kickstarter.

We have brand new pictures of one of our favourite and most popular Slaughterloo Divisional Army Packs now on our website. This will allow you to see just what is in this whole army (which can also be broken down and made into a dozen or so Flintloque sections) with a divisional picture and pictures of each part of it too. But that is not all!

Alternative Armies has an offer on the 56601 Finklestein Dogman Division where you can save not only 18% off the list price of all the constituent units when bought separately but also a FREE set of 56537 Dogmen Engineers worth 14.00GBP included automatically in the division box when purchased. Excellent! Total worth is 209.88GBP and price is 166.00GBP including free worldwide shipping.

Three weeks from today (Sunday 14th September) will see the launch of our Kickstarter campaign...Z-Clipz : Outbreak

The initial campaign target will be to release eight new miniatures, these will be four survivors and zombie versions of the same survivors. We have kept the initial target a low as possible to allow us to achieve the target and add Stretch Goal items on to the campaign. The campaign will run for 28 days!



We will be making them available in two pledge levels:

Gamer - white metal versions of the miniatures
and
Collector - resin versions of the miniatures

Each pledge level will also contain a ninth miniature, this Exclusive miniature will ONLY be available during the campaign and will never be released to the general public. There will also be a third pledge level allowing someone to be immortalised forever as either a zombie or survivor.

If we hit our funding target then we will start to add Stretch Goals, these will include more zombie miniatures, more survivor miniatures, downloadable colour artwork, resin and 3D printed terrain items, flat pack modular buildings, terrain tiles/boards and maybe even another set of multi-part plastic zombies. These Stretch Goals will be a mix of Freebies and Add-Ons.

SO SPREAD TO WORD (AND THE INFECTION)!

This is the Alpha set of the Broken Contract rules. As an Alpha rule set it is expected that there will be inconsistencies, typos, mistakes, and the like. I'm releasing it to the world so you can find all of those so they can be fixed. I think I've raised enough awareness about the game that I should be able to get some solid feedback. With the Kickstarter looming in 5 days it seemed the perfect time to capitalize on the excitement and urgency so here it is. I strongly encourage everyone to use the comments section or to join the conversation on boardgamegeek. Thanks and enjoy!

Perhaps the most iconic symbol of World War I is the trench. Starting from simple slit trenches and developing into elaborate trench networks such as the Hindenburg Line, the science of entrenchment was king of the battlefield. As well as protecting the front line troops trenches link with the reserve area, allowing for reinforcements to get forward quickly and safely.

This code contains five different 25mm/28mm white metal miniatures approx 20mm to 25mm average height. Great quality, great choice and great value too.

Poses in this code are as follows:
OH2-01: Hob Goblin walking with Spiked Club.
OH2-02: Hob Goblin ducking and leering with Shield and Axe.
OH2-03: Hob Goblin with raised Sword and Shield.
OH2-04: Hob Goblin in horned helm with Sword and Shield.
OH2-05: Hob Goblin with long curved Sword.

“Keep your stout wooden doors locked and make sure the iron of the bars that criss cross your windows is strong for raiders come in the mornings dawn to carry away your precious things. Breaking down the doors they will take your coin and your finest clothes. Howling they will make threats in a tongue on Man can make sense of. Tearing through the windows and their rusted bars they will take your offspring and your wenches. All for the same end. The slave markets of the far off hot lands. Leering orange skinned goblinoids have no honour but they know greed and they know skill. Fear the Hob Goblin Raiders!”
