I've liked the models for years, but the expense and the likely import tax means I've never bought anything from them.

Black Pyramid can do special orders. Let them handle the shipping costs!

Southern Germany


@all who are interested in Wargods:

You dont really need "two" forces... the races can be combined in one army in a lot of constellations...

if you refrain from the Typhon, Nekharu and Undead (the "bad guys", if you will) you can pretty much combine anything you want.

So you dont really need to build two separate armies, you just build one army and split it into two smaller ones whenever you want to show someone how the game works.
There are some restrictions how to organize your force, but just have a look into the book... it really isnt complicated, basically just depends on the race of your armys leader.


Fanmade and completely free fantasy rules for SAGA:

11 factions!
Undead, Dwarves, Barbarians, Elves, Dark Elves, Orcs, Troglodytes, Archaeans, Goblins, Empire, Beastmen

Hi,

yes playing or just watching a Wargods game in Europe or even Germany seems very very rare, unfortunately.

I have collected and painted quite a lot of the minis, you may have a look here in my LAF gallery if you like ;-)

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?action=gallery;su=user;u=2521

I live in south Hessen and although usually using my Wargods minis with other rule sets, I always wanted to try the rule set they were made for...

So if southern Germany is not too far for my home maybe we can have a try?

cheers Thomas



These days it's Wargods and Warhammer Armies Project I am working on !

MM,

a unit of ten miniatures is £23 which is not so bad compared to GW 5 Stormcast Eternal miniatures for £30.

Horses for courses I know but 2.3GBP is outside of my comfortable price range for rank and file figures, and comparisons to GW pricing structure..........well you know, it's GW pricing structure (hence I never got past WHF 2nd Edition)   :D

We have quite a few figures - a lot of them picked up second hand or when on offer - from different factions, but we also use proxies for some stuff, especially the undead. We have a fairly large undead army mostly from cheap plastic skeletons, a mixture of bits but quite a lot of Tomb Kings picked up from Bring and Buys, but only when really cheap.

Black Pyramid games carries most of the range, and ships from the UK.  Anything that they don't have they can special order, and they typically restock once a month.  The croc web store is also happy to ship anywhere in the world.

We're looking to find a distribution partner for the UK and Europe, when Olympus is ready later this year.  In the meantime we are happy to do whatever we can to get our minis where they are needed, just let us know.   :)

I think Olympus is due out later this year (parts of it have been released with rules in the croc mag thing, such as the Spartans). Not totally sure there since there is a delay between the backers getting it and general release.

The Wendigos are an expansion army from Wargods: Wendigo that you can buy on the site and a few places.

 The Olympus book and the range was done on Kickstarter.Quite a bit of the new miniatures for the game have been completed for the KS and some like me have got part of there pledges now.
 Chris is still waiting to get the rest of the miniatures cast/sculpted so that he can get pictures of painted miniatures for the rulebook.As you can imagine this is a lot of work for a small business like the Croc.I am sure you could still jump on the KS if you drop Chris AKA (Vongoosewink) a message.

There is the posibility to make a PayPal pledge on their site. This pledge is only for the unreleaseddelivered miniatures from the Kickstarter so only the Corinthians remaining (and the Trojan second wave, mounted Amazons, Hydra and Cyclopses  :D).
Stil worth a try.

While we are on the topic, anybody know if the new Hades model is released yet? I really wanted that for OGAM.
