New DEAD MAN'S HAND/4Ground pre-painted Old West buildings

[Gutbukkit]

PS: Does anyone have some pre-shrunk wanted notices etc. like the ones seen in the photo?  Could be very useful.

I thought I had some but turns out they're regular sized. I'll be taking them to my mate at the printers where I'll get the sizing sorted, when I'm happy they're right I'll hopefully be able to send you the file with them on.

And back to more Dead Man's Hand loveliness...

Seems the bars and wall section will come off the Sheriff's Office for jailbreak scenarios which is a nice little touch and the trapdoors actually work on the gallows.

Also released are some boardwalks and stairs separately and a hitching post.

We'll do a pdf of posters in the near future.

We'll do a pdf of posters in the near future.

  Even better.

Well, that looks like my next order - just sold all of my Sarissa/TCL stuff, and am getting rid of the last of my other Old West terrain.  I'm re-doing all of my fences, etc.  Time to plunk down some more plastic for these bad boys.

Oh, any chance of a new "combo" involving the new buildings?    I might have to revise my enthusiasm given the prices on some of those kits...maybe buy them piece-meal instead.  

I want all the pretty things...

PS: I sent the guys at 4Ground this same question, is the signage on the new buildings laser cut?  I prefer the blank signs, and I'm hoping the new kits are not stuck with pre-cut laser signs.  Is this an optional piece of the sign?  (I mean the big "MARSHAL'S OFFICE" stuff).

Really glad I never bought any of the other sheriff's offices now! A bank for the robbers next please?

[Elbows]

They said they're looking at a couple of buildings per month for the next few months.  I'm quite sure we'll see (in no order):

1) Bank
2) Hotel/Saloon
3) Train Station
4) Livery
5) possibly a water tower if they figure out a decent way to do one

I'm pretty comfortable assuming they'll cover all of the "normal" bases for Old West stuff.  I just hope they don't release $200 worth of models each month, that's pushing it for me on my tiny budget!

PS: Great Escape, who is your US distributor? Anybody know?  I don't think I can muster the 100 pounds to get free shipping.

PSS: Response from 4Ground - the signs are laser cut but they can simply be reversed so you can change the buildings if you need/want.

Brigade Games is bringing them to the US. http://www.brigadegames.com/

[Elbows]

Yep...unfortunately the prices don't match the exchange rate, and the shipping isn't free.    Good if you're picking up some brigade games stuff anyway though I suppose.

[Heisler]

I won't argue that point with you at all! That's the problem with having to import a product over.

[greatescapegames]

Not sure on the 4Ground buildings, but we export the figures and rules to Warpath Games, Brigade and others. Many US distributors do indeed import UK stuff from North Star, so just drop your US distributor an email and ask them to get them in!

[Elbows]

Until they show up at thewarstore...I'll probably just keep ordering abroad.

Those lads at 4Ground are directly responsible for draining my bank account ... and I doubt that situation will improve much over the next year ... and I'm ok with that! :-) 

[Elbows]

Hold onto your butts everyone...the most important stuff has arrived...cattle and planked fencing...

Stuart, let us know when they're available.  I'll be spending a boatload on them.  They also have some in-construction buildings etc.

It's on the webshop now, and the stock arrives tomorrow!
