Nice!
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Hi Muindk.
There will be an option for an interior detailing kit.

Last month I was over in Ireland making some videos with 'Beasts of War'



We had a great time. One of the scenarios that we played was 'Cityfight' which featured the new range of Sally 4th Sci-Fi buildings.

You can see the video via this link:

I just completed the backerkit and I'm surprised that it costs £13,55 to ship a £20 book to Denmark.

Hi Munindk,
Sorry about postage, we just charge what the post office charge to deliver an item.
The book weighs 550g which puts it into the 1000g category which is £12.55 (Royal Mail Tracked and Signed to Europe) plus £1 for packaging materials.

You can however get another 450g or products delivered for the same cost.

Humans!



Not quiet Albedo, but a little bit of fun to show of the versatility of the Albedo Miniatures range as hard sci-fi miniatures whether you like Anthropomorphic or not.



These miniatures are ILR Skirmish Infantry with EDF weapon arms and heads from my bits box. I'm planning to convert enough miniatures to play through the introductory scenario.





The Albedo Skirmish Starter set contains 11 miniatures with 5 different weapon types plus a voucher to download the PDF version of the rules, cards, scenario and other player aids, so is a good point to try out the game (with or without converted miniatures). Full details @ www.acp164.com

Update on Albedo







It has been a busy month for the Albedo team since the kick starter completed. We have had a lot of posts showing progress on sculpting and test casting of new Albedo Miniatures, but of course there is a lot more than that going on. Mike & Buck have been busy putting the finishing touches on the Albedo sourcebook and rulebook. The draft, full rulebook will be going out to backers in PDF format in the next few days for play testing. Steve Gallacci has been busy with new artwork and our card artists has designed the format for the Albedo Action Decks.

Today we can take a look at the format for the EDF and ILR card decks and the card back artwork for the main EDF pack.

We are taking late pledges via Backerkit, and we have some exciting stretch goals that are half funded, which include the iconic aerodyne, a civilian / protestor / police box set, a Toki character sculpt and a 6 wheeled ILR vehicle. Check it out on Backerkit @ https://acp164.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

Just before Christmas Ann & I played through the introductory 'Recce Probe' scenario with Federation troopers (human heads on Albedo EDF Miniatures) and Rebel Alliance (human heads on Albedo ILR Miniatures).

I've posted a full write up on my hobby blog @
