Title: A new adventure begins - Lead Adventure Miniatures!
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on November 29, 2010, 10:33:48 PM
Dear Lead Adventurers,

Over the last months, I haven’t been very present on the forum. The reason for that was that I've been very busy preparing the start-up of my miniatures company, a venture which turned out to be one of the most interesting and important projects of my life. It was a lot of really hard work, but I'm happy and proud about the result. Obviously, I hope you'll like it too.

I've decided to name the company after our forum – “Lead Adventure”. Not just because it's a cool name, no, there’s more to it. It encompasses my wargaming philosophy, and the way I feel about it - individuality, creativity and imagination, all defining qualities of our beloved Lead Adventure forum. These principles should be the cornerstones of the philosophy of Lead Adventure Miniatures.

Amen, brothers and sisters... :-)

The only thing that remains for you to do now: just click the link below to read more of my pathos-laden ruminations and see some miniatures.

Yours,

Prof.

Excellent news!  I'm going to have to buy some, because they are just too dang cool not to, even though I don't play either genre... yet.  Captain Blood, you say?  Can't wait to see the figures coming for that range.

Good luck!!

Coming off as a know-it-all, but I knew this was coming as soon as you started selling off your Copplestone minis - "Copplestone!", I thought, "Something serious is brewing.  He's either buying a house..." (the usual excuse around here  :)) "...or starting his own miniatures company."  Congratulations.  Great stuff.  Did you do the painting?
Title: Re: A new adventure begins - LEAD ADVENTURE MINIATURES!

Fantastic! Finally a reliable source for Ratnik VSF miniatures, and in pewter yet! Hurray! (to say nothing of the Grimm figure and all the other goodies that I'm sure will be coming down the pike). Congratulations on the new venture, I'm sure it will be a success.

*Edit*

Is it wrong of me to dream of a day when it will be possible to field an entire 5-man LPL entry consisting solely of LAF personalty figures...? (Prof, Grimm, Cap, etc.)

Good God no! No mini of me please. I'm much too nondescript.

I'd like to see a Hammers though - the Mad Swedish Avenger. With a dog for the kennel club, obviously  :)

(And if you made a 28mm Malamute, you'd only need to make it 20mm. In fact you might get away with 15...  ;) lol)


Although thinking about it, as he's a lead baron in his own right, he's probably already got a self portrait underway  ::)

There are already plenty of Richard and Nick proxies. Any old scruffy Old Glory pirate will do for Richard. As for Nick, take your pick among all Nosferatu miniatures out there.

Also, *always* remember to flip the Captain Blood miniature ove when he's hit. Richard likes that.

I have a Prof,
I want a Grimm
and I will most assuredly buy the dive set. I had a belly laugh though as I noted the candles in front of the deep-diver flamethrowers (or are those wale oil throwers I wonder ??).

Congratulations on the new endeavor!  Good luck and good sales to you.

And yes, all the ratnik steam-punks will be adding to our range, also some new ones.

Good, good news indeed!

It's no different from ordering something from in the UK, mate. We're all in the EU now. Just find an online exchange rate site if you're not sure how much it's costing you in pounds. Most have a converter that will tell you exactly what the amount is if you type in the Euros.

I have found that when ordering stuff from Germany (from Pardulon, or stuff off German eBay) it usually comes almost as quick as things from home.

Will you also carry the other Ratnik ranges ?

And is LAM the main distributor or just some kind german retail outlet for Ratnik ?

At the moment LAM is the main distributor of Post-Apoc and Victorian Sci-Fi ranges. It’s too soon to talk about other Ratnik stuff.

Nice move and a bit of a coup to get the Ratnik figures  :-*.

I posted a link on the Steve Dean site as the Ratnik figures caused a lot of interest some months back.

Good luck in the venture.

Excellent, excellent! I really like the site and its layout. The scenery-laden eye-candy banner especially. It really caught my attention when I first opened it up. I had told myself I wouldn't buy anything more till after the new years, but this'll definitely be the exception.

I wish the best of luck to you in your ventures with this company.

I would love to see mutated animals and monsters and maybe some rad zombies for the post apoc

Can't wait to see the video of Grimm making terrain and also what you have in store for us in the future!

Excellent news Alex. Excellent move and very nice site. I ordered half of the catalogue a few days ago (and would hve bought nearly everything if i hadn't just put an order one of those christmas offers you wait for all year long (about figs you know you need to get but keep postponing buying).

The thing I most appreciate with the catalog is the choice of lines of exceptionnal quality and hard to get.

Think about siberia miniatures?

Well, an excellent launch.

A quick question:
Do you or Igor plan to release a suitable set of Driver/passenger figures for the PA range as these would be really usefull for converting models adding crew to toys, I already have plans for converting one of Antenociti's GOT Novo-Rus  4x4 jeeps, along with a HLBS BTR-70

that's up to you, lads, just would love to see them, no matter on what board. Feel also free to start here, on LAM board, a new topic with your stuff, if you like. Or as usual, Future Wars.

Hey Prof,

Are miniatures available to buy singly or only as a pack?

Cheers

sorry, didn't understand that you wanted to know if the minis contain lead. If i say "from lead", I mean they're metal and not plastic. Actually, to be precise, our minis are made from a high quality white metal alloy containing very little part of lead or quite without lead.

Alex, are you going to focus on Steam Punk, VSF and Fallout or are you going to branch into Chtulu and Pulp to?
Title: Re: A new adventure begins - LEAD ADVENTURE MINIATURES!
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on December 17, 2010, 08:30:40 AM
Peder, actually we’re going to focus only on Fallout at the moment. Steam-Punk (or Pirates) is just a Ratnik range that we manufacture and sell, all the ideas and packs there are from Igor.

For Post-Apoc range, after releasing of some Ratnik stuff, we will release next year a lot of our own stuff. For this we’re still designing new gangs and characters. So 2011 will be a "contaminated" year.

First we’ve translated all our PA ideas into lead, we would start to think about new ranges. I’m absolutely sure that one day we will go to branch into our beloved Pulp Adventure / Cthulhu but I’m not able to say when it’s going to happen.

When you say 'Fallout' do you mean a 'retro-future' range somewhat comparable with AC57 or something else entirely?

Just wanted to say a big thank you to LAM, Alex and Michael for my recently delivered selection of Ratnik Post Apocalyptic goodness!

Ordered all the first release, and when they arrived I had a duplicate pack instead of the Tunnel Cutthroats. Michael responded very quickly and sent out the missing pack. He even let me keep the duplicate pack after I offered to return it! What a gent! And he let me order the Zone Dogs pack with free shipping. Star.

And they arrived today. Yay!

I can only commend LAM for their brilliant customer service, great products and long may they enjoy a successful venture!

Right now I have discovered your range of miniatures and I am very excited because, at last, I have found the range of models I was looking for!!! They are wonderful models, and the subject is very interesting for me (specially after my reading of "Metro 2033"). Besides, I am reading the "Triumph & Tragedy" rulebook (I bought it for my "El Álamo" project) and I think it can be useful for a post-apocaliptic game; it is a great, great rulebook.

Well, I´m going to buy some of your models right now.

Cheers,
Juan

If LAM is focussing on post-apocalyptic miniatures, I wish LAM would produce some stuff for Xenozoic Tales, aka Cadillacs & Dinosaurs.  I've been looking for miniatures that could be used for Jack Tenrec and Hannah Dundee with no luck so far.
