I think there will be a lot of discussion about these minis between now and April - I don't think you're going to forget about it!

Yeah, I guess. But you'd be surprised!

Spoke to Nick on Thursday and have pre-ordered the rules and the Chinese chaps and chapesses. That can't be the right word but I know what I mean.

Someone asked what will be the availability of these rules outside the UK... so here is the answer from Phil at Osprey:

Amazon stores (US, Canada, France etc.) will all carry it, so that’s an easy one. Likewise equivalent internet retailers (e.g. Book Depository etc.).

Barnes & Nobles, Waterstones and other ‘large’ booksellers will have the possibility of stocking it. They will certainly be able to order it, whether or not they have it in stock depends on the buyers – some may have loads, others just one (or none!). With an ISBN, any store should be able to get it!

As for gaming stores – they’ll receive information on it, either from our mailings, or from our listings in trade magazines. Again, whether they stock it or not is up to the owner/buyer. If in doubt, they should ask the owner!

We don’t preclude any country from acquiring our books (apart from China, and then only when the book mentions Tibet – and that’s more their choice than ours), so pretty much anywhere you can buy books will be able to acquire the rules.

Cheers,
Craig

I got an email from Brigade Games saying they were offering the same pre-order offer as Northstar with all the same benefits:

These figures look great! I already see a reinforcement for my Empire of the Dead and Chaos in Kairo warbands.  :-*

Hi all,

I'll be one of the guys running the game at Salute so if you want to have a go come by and say hi :)

Currently building the board and awaiting some components....

We have Prussian Jagers already you know?

Yeah, but they have blanket rolls and lots of kit. I think we all know my opinions there! The new ones are much better :)

Just how big are they then?
I know they are bigger but are they totally incompatible?
I was considering a couple of the DL range as 'extraordinary' characters, but maybe not now.

Not really relevant to this thread so I won't post the pics but here are a couple of links to comparison pics. They're way too big.

I'm hoping these are more in line with 'real' 28mm

The Northstar figs match in well with my other VSF stuff. Chillwind is painting the figures which will be used at Salute (and an extremely good job he's doing), I'll see if he's interested in doing a wip thread.

Nick and his crew shall by demonstrating the game at Salute this year. Both Charles and I shall be there to talk to any of you who swing by.

Cheers,
Craig.

I shall look forward to seeing you, expect a PM soonish  >:D
So many projects..... so little time.......

Should soon reach the £6000 goal, so what's the composition of the next faction?

As it says on the 'Nickstarter' page. The Spend goal 1 faction is nine British bobbies supported by a consulting detective and his good doctor friend.  :)

Consulting Detective and his medical associate. Plus 9 police types of assorted ranks, which just might look somewhat familiar.... Also, the next bonus figure.

This. Lovely figures and great concept but not as reasonably priced as much of the Northstar ranges.

Pics?

Not a lot to show yet, mostly wood and some bits of foam. I have sketchup pics of the design but plans may change depending on what I can get my hands on so I'm not going to show them until later. Should have a better idea after tomorrow.

They asked first  ;)
