Unboxing - Triumvirate of the Imperium - Part One

I recently succumbed to that hobby dilemma of buying something you'll probably never use because it's really amazing looking and then ending up wanting to use it because it's so amazing looking...the culprit in this case was the 'Triumvirate of the Imperium' box set...

"A truly inspiring presence, the Triumvirate of the Imperium bolster the might of their allies even as they effortlessly obliterate the enemies of the Imperium that stand in their way. Waves of telepathic power from Inquisitor Greyfax steady the nerves and enhance the aim of the warriors around her, even as Archmagos Cawl’s augmentative data-shunts aid the war machines of the Imperium while stymieing those of the foe. At the head of the triumvirate fight Saint Celestine and her Germinae Superia, calling down the fury of the Emperor through ringing war hymns."

I'm going to cover each of the three characters contained within in their own individual features but don't worry...I'm probably only going to do pictures of the box in this first one...

The box is actually nicely presented with a nicely decorated internal section, an art print and a quite elaborate set of instructions that also includes character stats for the box contents...

Inquisitor Greyfax

'Eye of the Emperor'

Clad in ornate power armour, she is a figure wreathed in shadow and fear, armed with master-crafted power sword and condemnor boltgun. She carries psyk-out grenades and wears the Psyocculum – the Eye of the Emperor.

Inquisitor Greyfax - Sprue

Here's pictures of both sides of the sprue for Inquisitor Greyfax

Inquisitor Greyfax - Assembled
The model is an incredibly detailed and characterful one and wouldn't actually look out of place in a number of none Games Workshop steampunk and dieselpunk skirmish games...

Instructions and Stats

As some-one who assembles models from a lot of different companies ranges I have to say that instructions with clear diagrams, numbers that match with parts on the sprue and actual views of the rear of the model were particularly enjoyable...

In part two we'll be looking at Saint Celestine 'The Living Saint'...

Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.

Welcome to North Star's 112th Newsletter.

The big announcement is that the Nickstarter pre-order campaign for the next Frostgrave book starts NOW!

The new Frostgrave supplement is titled The Frostgrave Folio. We are titling this Nickstarter a 'mini-Nickstarter' because we don't have a new range of figures to launch with the book like we have before. This Nickstarter is also different because we're going to measure its progress by how many books we sell rather the amount of money spent. Read all about it on Kev's Nickstarter page.

We have a little more news on the new Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago game system coming this Autumn. The author Joseph McCullough has posted the cover and a brief description on his blog page.

We told you last newsletter that we are teaming up with Ainsty Castings to carry our ranges on the UK show circuit. Ainsty will be at Vapnartak held at the York Racecourse on Sunday 4th February. We've given Ainsty a show exclusive, they will have for sale theRogue Stars Rogue figure we made to go with the Rogue Stars Nickstarter, so if you didn't get one (or want another), pop along to their stand. We'll appreciate all the support you can give them this year.

There are lots of new products this week to show you, new rule sets like Basic Impetus 2.0, Team Yankee Volksarmee and Battlegroup, new miniatures including the Crusader Miniatures French Dragon Portes and new model kits from companies such as Rubicon.

I hope we have something to interest you.

Thanks for reading

Battlegroup: Rule Book

New hardback edition of the Battlegroup WW2 rules systemNot so much a second edition as a reprinting of the main rules now that Kursk and the mini rulebook have sold out, but with an extra campaign, some data cards and a pulling together of all the special rules and generic scenarios from all our published campaign supplements. Whilst this remains the same Battlegroup game, there have been 3 small rules alterations. The new extra campaign is a Normandy-based location-to-location campaign system and has scenarios and army lists for the Canadian 3rd Infantry and 12th SS Panzer Divisions, including all the vehicle and gun data required to get players started. A full colour 170 page hardback book plus 5 pull out inserts of quick reference sheets, battle rating counters and vehicle data cards with the usual high production quality Iron Fist Publishing is renowned for. A must have for veteran Battlegroup gamer and newcomer alike.
