Minis News 20 Nov 05

November Urban Mammoth stuff

From the i-kore fora, out later this month, all for the Junkers faction.

Legionnaires
Sand Runner and painted version (pictured)
Pretorian
Exo-suit (pictured - quick someone call Games Workshop).


 

Still waiting for my UM stuff to arrive, though apparently it's shipping.

New Ilyad Models

Spectacular "Virago Crete Hurlante" (a reference to the mohican, I guess), more pictures here. Plus a painted version of the earlier WIP.

 

Privateer Catch-Up

Forgot to mention the other new Hordes faction, Legion of Everblight.

New Fenryll Dragon

What is says in the header (OK a dragon mummy). Some disdainful comments on the frothers fora, I suspect the issue is the paint job and the photo rather than the sculpt. In fact, the image has been on the Fenryll sites for a while, I just don't know their line well enough to know what's new:



New Olley Minotaur

Keeping up his burst of new releases, a new minotaur at Olley's Armies. Seen here as a cast and painted.

 

Wargods December Releases

Crocodile have a new French site. I'm not sure whether this reflects the changing balance of power in the minis world but the December previews are available there but not, as far as I can see, on the "proper" US site. The Tethru are the new Ibis faction, associated with the god Thoth.

WGE-153 Tethru Hero (with baboon servant, no less)
WGE-218 Harbinger of Thoth
WGE-155 Tethru Master of Words (with rack of scrolls)
WGE 154 Priest of Thoth (with sacred ibis)
Limited Edition Tethru Scribe - they're all nice but this one's the nicest - see picture.



I've upated the list with the numbers I got from Harbinger 23 (see separate review). There's also a WGE-018 (Tethru Warriors Booster), a WGE-318 (Tethru Warriors Unit) and a WGE-908 (Warband Starter Set, which includes 153, 154, 155, 218, 318 and the LE scribe).

Hazgaard

Never heard of them before, but this company seems to publish minis based on French comic books (worth a blog in their own right). They have some new sculpts based on a comic strip ("BD" = bande desinee) called Donjon (pictured). There's another set here based on another strip, Lincoln. Nice, but one step away from action figures, and I probably won't speak of them again.



Brigade Games - German Asia Korps

From the US company Brigade Games.

BG-WIEG30 German Asia Korps Infantry I
BG-WIEG33 German Asia Korps Maxim Team




That's it for now. Coming attractions - I have a pile of the latest magazines to review (US WD310, No Quarter 3, latest French Ravage and UK Harbinger), a bunch of recent acquisitions (Black Templars and Wood Elves), the Lizardmen collectors' guide and the US GW catalog, something of a discovery. Will try to get to them today or tomorrow.
