(Commercial) The Silver Bayonet pre-orders start today

[Kikuchiyo]

Just spotted this one

as a fan of Napolionic stuff and of Joseph McCullough work

this is right up my street - still in a Zona Alfa haze at the moment but this might be something I try soon

[mweaver]

Wonderfully characterful sculpts, and beautifully painted.  What a way to stoke enthusiasm!  Really looking forward to this one.

Got my order in for the bundle earlier this afternoon. With luck it will arrive while I'm having a week off so I get a flying start on it 

[Kikuchiyo]

wondering how the figures might scale against other manufacturers

Kev has painted up the Hobgoblin figures we're selling for The Silver Bayonet.

These were originally sold as Fomorians, but they fit the bill for Hobgoblins perfectly.

Any word on when Wave 2 will come out? I'm really excited to see the Prussians and the Russians.

Any chance of plastic kits coming for this at some point, or an upgrade kit?

Americans

Any chance of a child board for The Silver Bayonet?

I would definitely like to see an expansion set in the Americas.

Imagine…

The pirate Jean Lafitte manages to help Napoleon escape his captors, the ship runs aground on an uncharted island…. Several nations and interested private parties dispatch ships to find the missing ship uncovering mysterious events thanks to the nefarious plans of the Harvestmen.  Horror and Adventure ensues….

U.S. Marine Corps First Lieutenant Presley Neville O'Bannon runs across trouble in the desert…. An ancient cult…. A cursed? oil lamp…. The restless undead… as he and various other nations seek to resolve the Barbary Coast Question. More Horror and Adventure!

Deep in the forests of the North America West the indigenous tribes speak of terrible horrors, warning new comers that to enter these forbidden places means certain death… or worse. But the new Nation of the United States will not be put off by superstition and myth in its war with both Great Britain and those native tribes that refuse to submit to Manifest Destiny. Spain, eager to recover its declining empire seeks to prevent Lewis and Clark from heading West… but it is not just greed, the Spanish Crown believes only Holy Mother Church can deal with the supernatural horrors of the American wilderness….

A Russian supply ship finds a grisly scene of massacre at a remote outpost on the Pacific Coast of North America. The barbaric acts of native tribes? Jealous British explorers seeking to establish a claim for the British Crown? However, the ship‘s doctor happens to have an interest in paranormal incidents and the occult. He recognizes certain signs that this Horror was not done by human hands….

Hundreds of year old walking dead Aztecs locked in eternal battle with skeletal Conquistadors, an unimaginable sight to the explorers that have stumbled on the ancient ruins that may well become their own graveyard. What lies below….

In a troubled part of the Caribbean, a stretch of water that will be considered cursed by many, lies the ruins of a once great civilization. Shrouded in mist for thousands of years….what treasures and dangers lurk on, or below, the island of Atlantis?

I would definitely be interested in a War of 1812 expansion...

No chance of a plastic kit from us. But then I said that about Frostgrave Wizards...

But I don't think we will do it. You're better exploring Victrix plastics, through in some Frostgrave bits, you could kit bash some truly unique Units methinks.

Wave 2, no date yet because Mike hasn't finished sculpting the Prussians yet. I'll have pics of the Russians next week.

Any expansions are in the hands of Osprey, not us, so I'm not sure about an American version. Thing is, you'll see when you get a copy, Joe is very expressive about the book just being a start, it's be very easy to design your American Unit and Monsters & take it in a direction you want.

I don't want to do an all female Unit, it doesn't feel right for the game IMHO, but I will do more female Soldier types so you will in effect be able to put together an All Girls Unit in the end.

Any chance of a child board for The Silver Bayonet?

Its a possibility, but not a certainty!

Lets see how popular the game becomes and if we need to put everything together in one place then we will.

[Grumpy Gnome]

Great replies, cheers for that. Knowing is half the battle and all that.

Nick, I hope The Wizard box sets have been financially successful for you because Mrs. GG and I think they are some of the very best sets out there. Useful for a lot more than just Frostgrave Wizards. I recommend them to pen &  paper RPG players regularly.

Malamute… I am a very keen enthusiast filled with wishful thinking. Forgive my exuberance. I hope this game really takes off and I am keen to see support structures in place to try to help that. It is in a decidedly smaller niche than Stargrave.

Well, Antediluvian has you covered on the South American undead, anyway:

The Conquistadores are a bit dated for Napoleonic era gaming, but perhaps they found that damn fountain of youth and have been alive and tussling with the undead all this time (or in stasis and just awoken), hence the retro look?

Seconded.  Ridiculously good boxed sets, both of them.
