Grandville Miniatures coming soon
« on: April 07, 2013, 05:11:56 PM »
Crooked Dice are pleased to announce our collaboration with Ocelot Games to stock their new range of miniatures based on Bryan Talbot‘s acclaimed Grandville graphic novels. Elegantly dressed humanoid animals, steampunk technology, romance and violence abound in these sumptuously drawn tales of intrigue and adventure.

Grandville Miniatures are a range of 28mm scale figures from Ocelot Games suitable for fans of the books, steampunk devotees and wargamers.

The first figures of intrepid Detective Inspector LeBrock and Sergeant Ratzi of the Yard, are nearing completion. Sculpted by Jo Brumby, castings should be with us in time to sell at Salute on April 20th (ExCeL, London) on the Crooked Dice stand (TB08) and will be available in the Crooked Dice web store in the following week.

Love the Graphic Novels and Bryan Talbot's artwork, hope these take off. Would love to see some of the other characters in 28mm.

These would also work for Wonderland No More.

These are fantastic.  :-*

So fantastic in fact, that I've just gone and ordered all three Grandville books from Amazon.

These look really good. I've got an unread copy of the first book indoors - might be time to break that cover.
