As has been stated previously, we will be doing Thrilling Expeditions Quarterly to showcase all the games. And, in conjunction with that, Brigade Games is producing miniatures to go along with some of the scenarios.

Now, these first photos are kind of small, but I think you can get a good idea what's going on with them.

This first set is for our Beast of Gevaudan scenario. This is based more on the actual historical event with some artistic license to make for a better game. This will be sold as a four pack of three hunters and the gypsy queen.

The second will be a two pack of a new Sgt. Grant and a Japanese Oni.

I promise better pictures once I have them in hand to do it.

Rattrap made an excellent choice in licensing our miniature lines to Brigade Games. They are going to go above an beyond to produce the best possible miniatures to showcase the Rattrap games.

The hunters are soooo cool! Besides I'm a fan of the Gevaudan story.
Looking forward to the first magazine.

The set of hunters looks really nice. While I dig that oni, the combination of the two minis is pretty weird.

The Oni and Sgt. Grant make more sense once you see how they're in the book.

These look great, Pete. I have a bunch of the BG pirates and these look like they'll fit right in!

I agree they look great, but I had nothing to do with the Gevaudan scenario! That was done by Mark "Illumisar" Costello, and he did a fine job with it. It's very exciting.

I would hope they fit with the BG pirates; it's the same sculptor. Paul, take a bow!

I love the old Gevaduan storys, and its about time we saw a little more pulp in the Pacific theater.

I hope everyone really enjoys the Thrilling Expeditions experiment because we have BIG plans for it. It's going to allow us to cover lots more ground and I think everyone will enjoy the mix of stuff we are putting in.

Oooh, that gypsy woman will slide perfectly into my tribe of Welsh travellers.

I don't suppose you've seen the film Eigra? It's about Eigra Lewis Roberts, a Welsh Gypsy writer. Might provide some background for you.

Sorry if that has been answered already, but when will those "quarterlies" start?

They start next month!

I am hoping to post the Table of Contents in the next two weeks or so. You'll be able to see what will be in the first issue.

Totally brilliant!

Is that Paul Hicks' finger I see there?

It could be. I know it's not mine.

Very interesting (as I wrote a modification to LotR/LotOW/LotHS about The Beast of Gevaudan. The article was released this summer in VaeVictis)

The pictures are quite small but it looks like that some minis are more 17th century than 18th century ones. The beast appeared in 1764 and was shot down in june 1767.

However, the minis are great.
