We'll have a demo of the second edition of our 7TV rules, plus we'll have a pre-release of the latest Argonauts - http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=77203.0

Not sure if that counts as a surprise, but I can get one of Team Crooked to jump out at you with a wet flannel if that helps?

Ahh I came here for a cheeky plug and was greeted with my own grinning mug, thanks Cubs!

It was going to be a secret, then I thought I may as well build up as much hype as I could, as being called "The Dice Bag Lady" people might not come over if they don't need/want bags, and miss the new goodies. So I've also done a little bit of rebranding as Bad Squiddo Games, and having The Dice Bag Lady as a wing.

I'll be launching a range of minis, officially not the first launch, as I do have one of my own models, but I'll have another DBL one
Baggy with Squid Launcher!! - http://thedicebaglady.net/baggy-with-squid-launcher/

As well as....[hopefully 4] female vikings, which are designed as troops to slot into any dark age or fantasy!) gaming "with the lads" shieldmaidens.

This fits with the launch of the Believable Female Miniatures range I've started to amass from a variety of manufacturers - http://thedicebaglady.net/female-miniatures/ which I'll have. No more rifling through blisters for a cool woman model, I've done that so you don't have to!

I'll have dice bags of course! My hands have been rubbish lately with RSI but I have a decent amount of stock still (I took it off the site temporarily so I'd have plenty for Salute!) so you can grab a cool bag without having to wait for my hands to stop being rubbish.

Gripping Beast Approved dice bags too for SAGA, super swish. And a tonne of SAGA stuff too, including neat little sets with the dice and gems, and bundle deals.

I'll exclusively have those RSC Stunty Henchmen, including some awesome new releases.

A tonne of brand new merch - notebooks, rulers, tape measures, badges, bottle opener keyrings... endless!

This is a great stall to take small people as there's lots of bright shiny pocket money purchases, and people who don't wargame (the bags get bought for all sorts of purposes, especially those squiddos!) as well as yourself, for top notch gaming gubbins! And my lovely service!

And somehow fitting this all in 6 feet  :D

If you haven't heard of me before, lots of this won't make sense, so pop on the website and have a look around!

IF YOU PRE ORDER YOU GET A FREE TEMPORARY TATTOO SHEET!

We'll have a freebie figure and a release or two we haven't announced yet, plus a couple of new, as yet unannounced buildings.

Thanks for the plug, all Frostgrave related posts can be found here since the initial rumours: http://wargameterrain.blogspot.be/search/label/Frostgrave Including a preview picture of one of the plastic henchmen in cooperation with the guys over at Fireforge Games if I recall correctly.

No, the plastic henchmen, officially called Frostgrave Soldiers, are a North Star Military Figures product, no connection to our chums at Fireforge Games at all. The picture on your site is one of ours.

The confusion may have come from a post where I mentioned the Fireforge Games foot sergeants are also great for using as Frostgrave Soldiers, and in fact a lot of the photos in the rulebook feature the Fireforge figures Kev Dallimore painted up specifically for photo shoot.

Thanks for clearing that out, really looking forward in seeing the plastic set! I have also read about a sprue with items such as lanterns and all. Would that also be a plastic sprue or mini metal sprues? Either of the options would be interesting but a plastic one would be awesome.

All plastic. No plan for metal additions right now.

Nic at Eureka will be bringing over some of the brand new Yemeni tribal rebels just cast up this week. Seven figures designed for the Aden Insurgency of the 1960s but some could readily be used for earlier periods. He was bagging them up today and asked me to mention them. Lovely figures I bought a few myself.

If you've heard of The Dice Bag Lady, you will know of the excellent dice bags I create. A series of wrist injuries (from making the things!) kicked me into making the brave step of diversifying into the big wide world of miniatures.

You may have heard of the "Believable Female Miniatures Project" - http://thedicebaglady.net/female-miniatures/

In a nutshell, I have begun to stock as many models as I can find which are female and not overtly sexualised or, well, silly. You know. no chainmail bikinis or crotchless plate armour etc. Just cool women, battling, adventuring etc.

The next step for The Dice Bag Lady is to produce a range of historical female miniatures that fit this ethos. The first will be viking shieldmaidens.

Here is the very first of many! A very limited (very!) amount will be at Salute, and available to buy from the webshop a short while afterwards. THREE others of her sisters in arms are currently in various stages of the sculpting process.

Sculpted by Phil Hynes and painted up by Paul Cubbin.




Cheers
