North Star Newsletter

A new newsletter from North Star Figures...

AGEMA MINIATURESWe have now imbedded Agema Miniatures andCopplestone Castings into the North Starsystem. I hope you've had a good look through the web pages of both ranges.
Copplestone Castings
Our new website, run by North Star, is now up-and-running and for a short time there's 20% off all our ranges. And if your order is worth more than £25 there's a free limited edition Road Warrior miniature.This is the last weekend of the introductory sale onCopplestone Castings. We have given a 20% discount right across the range, but it ends first thing on the 29th of March. We are going to run the 'free Road Warrior figure' offer for a week longer than the sale. The Road Warrior will re-appear at Wargames Emporium stand, TC13Salute 2016 on the WargamesEmporium stand, our official stockist.
Photo of Wargames Illustrated 342 (WI342)Photo of Lt. Col. Johnny Frost (GiM007)Wargames Illustrated 342 is out now. A great read as always, the article of note I think is the adaptation of the rule set Lion Rampant to Napoleonics,'Eagle Rampant'. The new Giants in Miniatures from Wargames Illustrated is also available to buy, Lt Col John Frost, British Airborne at Arnhem 1944.
Photo of Blood Eagle (BP1512)The new rulebook from The Ministry of Gentlemanly Warfare is out this week. Titled 'Blood Eagle', it's a set of rules for skirmishing warbands in the Dark Ages. What makes this set different from other Dark Age skirmishes? Firstly it's based on the popular rules engine originally used for In Her Majesty's Name VSF Skirmish, then again for Daisho, Samurai Skirmish. Secondly, Blood Eagle is set in a mythical Dark Ages. This means you can face your Saxons against Vikings, but equally those Vikings may have a Troll or Giant with them. Your Irishwarband may have to face an attack from theSalute 2016Sidhe upon a Mid-Summers eve. Get hold of a copy, you may find it adds a new dimension to yourDark Age games. If you are waiting until Salute to buy a copy, there will be a big pile on theWargames Emporium stand.
There's more to read about below, I'll leave you here to look through.
Thank you for subscribing.

Few movies are as iconic as A Bridge Too Far. And not many men are as iconic as Sir Anthony Hopkins and Lieutenant Colonel John Frost. This miniature represents all three of those icons at once, taking its inspiration from a classic performance by an actor depicting an amazing man in a fantastic movie.
