Wild West game shots

Hi all,
This Wild West game was from ages ago but I thought it was worth sharing. Rules we used were Legends of the Old West, figures are Foundry and the wooden buildings were all scratch built by me (apart from the crates which were from Ebay). I've not had as much enjoyment building scenery for years - all that planking is quite therapeutic. Plus, the figures are a joy to paint.

Mercenary conversions

Hi again,
Here's something we've been quite excited about. As you know we've been expanding our NF range by adding new heads etc and are currently sculpting more irregular style sprue options.
When we were getting the samples done on the NF trooper head releases we tried a few test conversions mixing up all our NF and Kolony rebel sprues we have released at the moment.
Here's the result so far. Watch out for painted versions in the next couple of weeks - I just have to get woodland pattern camo nailed first.

New Near Future packs at Salute

This month at Salute sees the release of 4 new head packs for our Near Future range. These packs have been designed to work with our NF Trooper sprues and give gamers loads of new options to design their forces lust as they like them.

The new head packs are:
HD.22 - Ballistic helmets with gasmasks. £4.50
HD.23 - Mercenaries. £4.50
HD.24 - Berets. £4.50
HD.25 - Boonie Hats. £4.50

At Salute (and next week on our website) they will be available to buy either as a pack of 20 heads or complete with our Near Future Infantry pack £20.00 (10 heads, 10 legs and 10 torsos).

As with all our heads, they are designed to be compatible with most heroic scaled Sci-Fi ranges to offer endless converting opportunities.

Also, I have been doing some test conversions with our Kolony Rebel body/leg sprues and they look great - more on this soon here on this blog.

Near Future Troops review on Graven games

Hi all,
It's pretty quiet here as a few things have gone to the casters so I'm catching up on some painting and non-Pig Iron stuff. Once things ahve come back from Griffin Moulds it'll be back to the sharp end getting samples done etc.
In the meantime, here's a great, in-depth review of our NF troops visit Graven Games Site. Click Here.

Graven Games Conversion

Hi all,
Here's an exceptional conversion by Steve Gravener from Graven Games. He's converted one of our Ironshield tanks into an Adeptus mechanicus themed Chimera transport for Warhammer 40k.
Top work we think and nice use of pipes and mesh.

Sculpting update

It's been a while so we thought it's about time to show whats happening on the workbench.
At the moment we're working on some more heads to go with the NF troopers - as you can see from the pic there's a bush hat, beret, baseball cap and a gas mask with ballistic helmet. These are all sculpted over our 'generic angry face' head that we use a base for our recent head sculpts, once these are mastered and copied in resin we'll adjust the facial expressions and tweak bits to give some variety to the metal sprues.
We're also working on 'irregular' near-future figures with a variety of different weapons and clothing options. The set you see here are lucky to have body armour but future sets will be in a mix of jackets etc. You will notice there is a master generic hand gun that will appear on future 'irregulars'.
Also being done (but are a bit too rough to show yet) are 'irregular' legs in a mix of jeans, fatigues and also different, boots, shoes and trainers etc. All these are to go with the hooded heads shown a while ago plus we need to work on a mixed sprue of bare heads.
Loads to do but we'll get the NF trooper head alternatives released as soon as we can.
Bye for now.

Pig Iron clearout continues

Pig Iron is clearing out loads of stuff that's going on Ebay over the coming weeks. Here's the third batch - Dwarfs
The large regiment has some of my own sculpts (the one's with halberds) cast in metal - they are totally unique and these are the only casting ever done.

If you fancy bidding here's the link to my Ebay page.

As I mentioned earlier, more stuff is being unearthed in dusty boxes so keep checking back for things to buy.
