Wulfmecha starts Flintloque with video review of 5024 Escape the Dark Czar Starter Set

It is not often we feature a video but today we are!  Hobbiest Wulfmecha has begun his fun journey into the best fantasy Napoleonic tabletop game in the world namely Flintloque!  

We have a really nice beginners set for new players (though most existing players have got it too for the great ten character miniatures it contains) which eases you into the frozen Witchlands.  The Dark Czar has sprung his trap and now the Grande Armee du Norde is broken and retreating through the snow.  See 5024 Escape the Dark Czar!  Your jumping off point for Death in the Snow.

Here is the Youtube video linked up on our blog for you to watch where Wulfmecha goes into detail about the contents of the set, the rules booklet, the miniatures and more.

Aren't those Flintloque figures beautifully painted!

We hope you enjoy and if you would like to learn more then see our Begin in Flintloque page where the set is plus lots of free material such as scenarios to download and the miniatures and scenics which feature in these adventures.

Halflings for Oathmark video by James DeGrey

We are delighted to link up a Youtube video in this short article for your viewing.  Halflings from our 28mm High Fantasy Range and from Ganesha Games too.  

The video is embedded below and covers unboxing of James's order, his looking at the miniatures, at his free gift (VNT9 Troll) and then across to the miniatures painted and his plans for them.  Very enjoyable and fun hobby viewing.

The miniatures featured in this video are CA2 Halfing Walking Party (which can be had as a pack or as single miniatures) in our Adventurers and Wizards collection and codes such as AAB006 Halfling Cook and AAB013 Halfling Stilt Walker which you can see in this refined grouping in the Ganesha Games range.

We recently remolded the Halfling Walking Party and it is on special offer just now too.

Thanks for your time.

Hero of the Table channel Ion Age 15mm Retained Knights

Brought to my attention and I was glad that was so. Two great videos by Sean where he takes a look at IAF001 Retained Post Alpha and IAF002 Retained Post Beta a total of twenty of our 15mm scale power armoured Retained Knights.  A second video where he paints those miniatures in white armour.  You can watch the videos below and if you like it do let the channel know.

Just under twenty minutes of science fiction miniature fun.  There are over three hundred poses of 15mm scale in the Ion Age range which you can see HERE and refine your search by type on the page.  Patrol Angis is a fast, lethal and flexible game system which can be had in print and as a digital download HERE.

If you are looking to get started with Retained Knights then the lance pack (which contains an additional free unique miniature too) is the place to be.  Paint these up in any uniform from Prydian as shown to the Marcher Baron leagues or the Condot mercenaries who ply the Precinct.  IAFP02.

Once we had filled out more than fifty poses of Retained Knights of rank and file we added characters and some of the most popular came from names in the Patrol Angis books.  Such as Diodine Sparrow who you can see above, he along with his body guard Quinus Bria and lady commander Loren Vasilia are characters with their own game rules.  IAF158 and there is a free download on that page too.
