Welcome to Newsletter 121

Lots of great new figures to show you this time, from a wide selection of our ranges including the ever popular WW2 miniatures from Crusader and Artizan Design. Have a look below for more information.

We are quietly working on the two projects we mentioned last time,Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago due for release in October andDracula's America: Shadows of the West in August. Expect to get a newsletter from us next week announcing the start of the Nickstarter pre-order program for Dracula's America, though while you wait here's a selection of the miniatures to look forward to.

Another little project bubbling away at North Star is Death on the Red Planet.This is a VSF game based on the rule system we used for Death in the Dark Continent, but this time your hardy Redcoats will be taking on Alien Horrors, or your Imperialists will be crushing independent sovereign planets, depending on your point of view. We'll show you more later, but we have made the first Red Coat figures available to buy now. Expect to see the first Aliens in the next newsletter.

Normally we're telling you what is coming out, but I just want to tell you what is being withdrawn here. After years of success, the game Muskets and Tomahawks has sold out. It's had three print runs, but we're not reprinting again in anticipation of a Second Edition from Studio Tomahawks. We are also 'mothballing' the figure range for the time being as well.

Lastly, on Social Media we've been showing off our plastic Dwarves. They are now getting close to general release, and hard on their heels are coming plastic Goblins and Elves!

Thank you for reading,

Nick Eyre

Giants in Miniature   Painting Guides   Wargames Illustrated

Giants in Miniature is a range of 28mm limited edition metal character figures produced by Wargames Illustrated. This range will expand at a rate of one pack per month, with the newly released figure/s linking in with the theme of the latest issue of Wargames Illustrated. Dunkirk Joe William Tennant was a professional sailor, with a distinguished career in the Royal Navy. The nickname he was given by ordinary sailors – ‘Dunkirk Joe’ – indicates the key role he played in the evacuation of the British army in the dark days of 1940. Many say that without his cool head and organisational skills Operation Dynamo – as the evacuation was known – would not have been the success it was.
