 The Chronicles magazines are very good.I think only three were done though,which is a shame.

 Roy Eastland sculpted the Swamp Goblins.

The Chronicles artwork is pretty damn good, if of the eras aesthetic.

There were 12 Chronicles magazines in total, and they can be found as PDFs on the Mutantpedia website. I'm glad they are available, as they were good reading!  :)


Edit: there were 12 Chronicles magazines originally, then it was re-launched, and there were a further 3 issues (numbered 1-3, also called Chronicles) of this new magazine.

 The early Chronicles magazines were first published in the Forge magazine which originally was called Anvil.Or that maybe the other way around.Getting old and forgetting stuff.

 They are also good magazines with some very nice articles in them for some top painters. Michael Immig (spelling probably wrong Mod: FTFY), German guy who has done some great diorama pieces.

I just placed a $150 order to Prince August. As if I don't already have too much to work on as-is.

Current projects: collecting way too many vintage Warzone models.

Well, please do share your efforts here on LAF when they reach you, as I would love to see your work on them.  :)

 What have you gone for then?

 So easy to get pulled into yet another project ;).

 Great to hear that lots of people are looking at older games and miniatures ranges.

 Looking forward to seeing what everyone will be working on over the next few weeks.

A combination of filling out existing units (never got a Venusian Ranger heavy weapon, for example), more Dark Legion monsters because they are fun, and a couple of new units (never had proper Legionnaires- I always used the ones from my copy of Siege of the Citadel).

Adding those to my recently purchased Razides and Demnogonis Nepharite (I painted the same model in 1999, so I want to compare), I have a lot to do even without all of the other projects (2 Frostgrave crews, a Stargrave crew, a bunch of Infinity models, multiple Wrath of Kings/Saga: Age of Magic armies...lol)

 You could use your Warzone figures in other game systems.

 Just seen Swiftnick's one using Warzone and other miniatures in the Sci-Fi Skirmish section.

 Had my Joan of Arc KS stuff arrive Today.Three boxes of it got delivered.

The smaller first ed ones now with Seb Games or the chunkier later ones on Scotia Grendel? Seb looks to be giving it some new life. Post pics even if undercoated minis so we can see :)

I got some of both, but mostly Scotia. The sizes and styles mix better than I thought they would actually, and since neither is a complete range for any faction (except maybe the Forcebook Koralon), I figured that I'd mix and match between them.

Whilst most of the models I received (Seb's stuff in particular) is all well cast, some of the models and parts (things like shields and backpacks especially) are from extremely rough/worn moulds, so there's going to be some reasonable work required before the models are ready for priming.

So far no vehicles though, as I thought they might be unbalanced in smaller forces. Still, lots to get on with in the meantime, so it might be a little while before I have any real progress to speak of! :)

You could use your Warzone figures in other game systems.
I think that looking at some of the models in these three game systems, that's definitely a good possibility. I think new Scotia Viridians could be decent as Bauhaus, and classic Seb Viridians would be reasonable as Capitol. I think any Viridians and/or Capitol are a good fit for VOR Union. Syntha and Cybertronic should be easy swaps too. Others can get a bit trickier though, but something like a mix of Imperial and Dark Legion would work well enough for VOR Neo-Sovs.
