Welcome to newsletter 102

Hello Everyone! We'll keep this newsletter short but sweet as we're gearing up for the fourth Frostgrave Nickstarter. It kicks off on the 3rd of October, and it's for the new Frostgrave book 'Forgotten Pacts' and the new Frostgrave Barbarian figures. The next newsletter will give you more information, be sure to look out for it.

We have a little Frostgrave release here though, the Violent Fungi you last Nickstarter participants got free are now on general release. We have a new set of plastic Iberian Cavalry from Victrix. We've been asked a lot for these, so we're expecting them to be popular.

We're really pleased to be working with Mantic Games to promote their Historical variant of Kings of War. Kings of War is probably the most popular mass battle Fantasy wargame on the market right now, so it seems only proper to make it available to historical gamers as well.

Have a look through the rest of the newsletter, look out for some great new figures from Copplestone Castings and the release of the Bolt Action 2 box set, Band of Brothers. We are also taking pre-orders for the classic board game of the 1970's, Escape From Colditz.

Thanks for Reading

Nick
