Another league for our Pulp Alley games...this time moving the action from the late nineteenth century to the 1930s!




Established shortly after the end of the Great War, Section O is a secret department within the British Secret Intelligence Service dedicated to protecting the British Empire from all things Occult, Paranormal and Supernatural. Major Edmund T. Stone runs the Cairo Office along with the eminent explorer, archaeologist and expert in the occult, Doctor Henry Abbott.

New Badlands Tors and Pillars- Battlefield in a Box!




Good news! Gale Force 9 have just released some new terrain pieces for their Badlands range as well as re-releasing a couple of the old ones.






I was lucky enough to get my hands on the older Bluff and Plateau a while back but they have been...up until now...very hard pieces to get hold of! The smaller new Tors and Pillars are just what I need to bring them all together on the table. So this really is great news.

Artizan Thrilling Tales Miniatures for Pulp Alley




Along with the three African Princesses that I posted up here last week, I also got some Artizan Thrilling Tales figs back from the talented Mr Slade this month...all intended for our Pulp Alley games.

First up, some good guys...




Next up, some bad guys...




Finally, some Afrika Korps...who could be on either side....




As always, Matt has done a lovely job. I hope to put a couple of Pulp Alley Leagues together using these figs sometime over the next week or so and shall post them up as soon as I do.

Next month Matt will be doing some more Artizan Thrilling Tales figs for me to add to the growing collection.

Three African Princesses



I got my latest lot of miniatures back from Matt of Glenbrook Games today. Most of them are Artizan Thrilling Tales figs for our Pulp Alley games (which I'll be showing off later). These three lovely ladies, however, are Copplestone African Princesses for our Lost World and Congo games.






Matt has, as always, done an absolutely superb job!

New Rogue Stars Miniatures!


For those who are in on the Rogue Stars Nickstarter, there will be some new miniatures to add to your order from this weekend. The Space Captain type and the Lion chap, in particular, are brilliant.

Saxon Dwarves from Antediluvian Miniatures


Antediluvian Miniatures have just released here a set of Saxon Dwarves. These really are fantastic figures!

Now I have to say that normally I prefer my fantasy and sci-fi to be pretty human-centric...more Game of Thrones and Firefly than Lord of the Rings and Star Wars...with any strange beasts or creatures reserved for the role of blasphemous monster or twisted thing of evil!

That said I'm a big Tolkien fan and have always had a bit of soft spot for Dwarves...

...so one order later and I'm thinking these lovely figures will fit in very nicely in my Dragon Rampant Northern Tribes warband!

Rogue Stars Nickstarter is live!




The Rogue Stars Nickstarter is now live here. You can buy the book for £11.99...or just £10 if you buy it in the first week...and get a free figure.

Free Figure
Or you can buy the book with all 17 figures for £60. If you do buy just the book you can add any of the figures to your order for just £3 each.

















It should be noted that after the Nickstarter the figures will only be available in packs so this is your chance to pick up individual ones.
