Some new release news from Mantic Games...

Darkness Rising The Abyss has opened and the world of Mantica will tremble. February see the release of a totally new army for Kings of War – the demonic Forces of the Abyss. These evil beings have always been in the background for Kings of War – ever since the apocalyptic God War. Thanks to the support of our Kickstarter backers, they have been fully realised for the first time as a tabletop force. In the north-east of Mantica lies the Abyss; a vast rent in the ground, to which evil beings flock like moths to a flame. This chasm is a wound in the skin of the world, a prison for the vilest beings ever to walk the world of Mantica. Banished there at the end of the God War, twenty-seven wicked dieties plot the downfall of civilisation, led by the most devious of their number, Oskan the Father of Lies. The armies of the Abyss are without number. Surging from the fiery realms of the Abyss, cackling Imps and Lower Abyssals march to war alongside the graceful and terrifying Succubi. Lumbering Molochs and Abyssal Fiends cut through swathes of enemies warriors, while Flamebearers and Efreet hurl sorcerous flames into their foes. The souls of the lost and the damned scream for an end to their torment, whilst the mighty gods look on with malice. The Forces of the Abyss are a brand new army for Kings of War. The bulk of the army is made up of hard plastic infantry kits, complete with optional weapons and fun extras like Imps. Once you’ve built your core force, you can grow your army with the expanded range of miniatures, including the Abyssal Fiend, Molochs and the Efreet and Abyss Champion hero kits, each of which also have alternate components. Want to find out more about the Forces of the Abyss? Read 'The Twelve Days of Mantic Christmas #5: You won’t want to Abyss this!' Destiny of Kings is the campaign book for Kings of War and features the Quest of the Necromancer Campaign rules, stats for using your Dungeon Saga heroes in Kings of War and much much more. Read all about it here. Pre-order it from your local hobby store, the Mantic Webstore and on Mantic Digital. The Crazy Box is back! The Mantic Crazy Box is stuffed full of miniatures and accessories. They will start shipping from the 11th January, and there are now just 500 available. And trust us, that isn’t many... So don’t delay,  order your crazy box now!

Well It is Still December.....

I was really hoping that my Black Friday order would have arrived by now but alas it has not so I have instead consoled myself by assembly the December Wyrd Games Malifaux releases instead.

So that's the Arcane, Hodgepodge and Mysterious Effigies, Lone Swordsman, Datsue Ba and Seishin, Iggy and Brotherhood of the Rat boxes assembled. The Komainu unfortunately were missing a couple of parts so I'll have to e-mail Wyrd about getting those bits sent out.

So I'm going to call that a productive afternoon. Of course these will all be the recipients of unboxing features once I've based and assembled them tomorrow. It's possible that some of these may be moved down the priority list should my long awaited order finally arrive in the meantime but according to the tracking information I doubt they'll appear on my doorstep until I'm back at work after the holidays...

Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.

Hasslefree Miniatures Newsletter

Some Christmas news from Hasslefree Miniatures...

TABLE OF CONTENTS • Merry Christmas You Beautiful Old Building and Loan! • Free Minis for Everyone! ... • Paige is Back! • Christmas Minis • So, What's up with the 12 Days thing? • And Finally... Merry Christmas You Beautiful Old Building and Loan! Best Christmas Movie Ever! (Stop shouting Die Hard at your computer screen, it's weird) Happy Holidays Everyone, whatever you may or may not celebrate. I have decided to keep with newsletter tradition and put a complaint in this intro part, although this time a relevant one. I have lost count of the promotions this year that have made use of the '12 Days of Christmas' incorrectly! Umpteen newsletters in my mailbox, even Deadpool has done it. Except the 12 Days of Christmas start 'today' on Christmas Day! Stop using it as the run up to Christmas! Humbug! Right, now that's off my chest, what do we have for you this Holiday season? Well, something a little bit odd if I'm honest :) For a start you'll need to keep an eye on our FB page, because I'm not sending out 12 newsletters, we'd be spamfiltered immediately. If you don't have FB then you can still look at it and just email us. We'll get to why you need to down below, but first a few messages ... Free Minis for Everyone! ... ... who makes an order over Christmas. (Is that mean? I'm tired and full of christmas cheer so I can't tell) Yup, everyone who makes any kind of order while we're closed will get a Christmas Present from Hasslefree. We'll try to match it to your order but if you like you can make sure you get the right genre by mentioning it in the comments section. Every order will get something, even if you just order a sheet of stickers or some bases. Why? Because we're awesome that's why!  Paige is Back! Each year for Christmas we bring back our 54mm Holiday Pin-up 'Paige'. This year she comes with a brand new lick of paint from Scott 'The Black Hand' Hockley, he's even left her in the pretty box she comes in! Christmas Minis Also back are our Festive Minis set, including the 2 variants of Santa Libby, Party Kev and Newton the very tiny Elf :) So, What's up with the 12 Days thing? Ok, that's the holiday cheer bit out of the way, now to celebrate Christmas properly with some crass comercialism and a dash of competition leading to envy (leading to the Dark Side - go see it, it's great).. You all know, or should know, that we run semi regular 'Challenges' for Kev, whereby I bribe him with Christmas cheer - even in the middle of July - and he makes things that I, and/or you guys, choose. So this will be our way of topping up the bribe fund, know that your purchases will go towards our next challenge and Kev's functional alcoholism ;) Right, pay attention, because we were super busy for the last couple of months, right up until we closed for holidays, so even though this was planned a month in advance, it is being sorted approximately 'zero' in advance i.e. I am writing this right now on Christmas Day :D Every night at 7pm GMT our FB page will be updated with a new item for sale. Tonight there will be 1 of that item, tomorrow 2 of the next item and so on. (If something proves particularly popular it may make a return, a la the items in the song) They will be a mix of pre-release metals, pre-release resins at a special price and limited edition items. Obviously the smaller numbered days will be the rarer items. The Grinchy little twist is - First Come, First Served. First people to reply to the FB thread, PM us via FB or email us will be alloted one of the items. On the 12th Day, January 5th, everyone who grabbed one will be sent an invoice (just in case you grabbed more than one item). You can get your invoice earlier if you know it's all you want. Yes it's a little clunky, but unless I decided not to bother cooking Christmas Dinner the more 'complicated for us but easy for you' version wasn't happening :D So that's it, 7pm GMT tonight the first item will be available. They'll stay available until claimed and anything left unclaimed will go back wherever they came from on January 5th. (I know that we have a lot of international fans, and I'm sorry this may be an awkward time for you, just sneakily check on your phone while nobody is looking or something ;) ) If this doesn't work at all, then I'd like to pretend I'm sorry, but we're closed and I shall be drunk so I can't even manage that :D And Finally... Uhm... nothing! Absolutely Nothing. We're closed! I am off to go stuff myself stupid with the ridiculous amount of Christmas Food that is currently orbiting my growing belly. 'til next time, Arty.
