So to celebrate we've made a coupon code for 20% off all orders till the end of the month. We're also going to extend this to retailers looking to stock Brushfire (So an additional 20% off your wholesale price), but for that you'll have to contact us for that.

Please note that orders for Mice Conscripts will be delayed a few days, as we still have not received our restock, but it should be here tomorrow or Saturday. I'll also see about having the preorder for the wave 02 miniatures up on the website before the month is done too (Weasels, Mongeese, Mice Lancers, and Juan of Brisica)


-Old First Post-

On The Lamb Games is happy to announce our first miniatures for 'Brushfire - Historia Rodentia' are now up for preorder!

Mare-Civitas' Mouse Conscript
MSRP: $24.99

About Brushfire - Historia Rodentia:
BFHR is a Miniatures wargame coming soon from On The Lamb Games, it features a semi-historical setting with animals taking the part of soldiers. The visual style is simular to movies like 'The Secret of NIMH', 'An American Tail', and 'The Rescuers'; or books like 'Redwall', 'Cat Sh!t One', and 'Mouse Guard'. You can see more concept art concept artwork & upcoming greens in our gallery.

How large are these miniatures? They seem exceptionally expensive for 28mm, but that is what it seems.

The Badger its pretty bulky, and comparable in mass to a Khador Man-O-War from Privateer Press.

Rather hefty price tag I will admit, especially for so little that comes with it. good looking models though as you develope the line I may be interested.

We've learned a bit from making these first two models, and will be using that knowledge with the upcoming ones to hopefully help the cost of Medium sized models like the Badger.

Speaking of upcoming stuff..



Aquitar's Weasel Fusilier


Aquitar's Moleon II


Mare-Civitas' Chipmunk Weapon Team


Mare-Civitas' Capybara Capitaine

I'm thinking of geting the Badger for a MotW model

Interesting Concept. I kinda like it, but I don't think I would get into the system.

Probably pick up a few here or there for painting though.

Prices aren't bad. ~$12 for a Termie sized and ~$5 for a smaller than human sized.

I am telling my Historical game players. They will be horrified.

Thanks, We'll have demo/quick start rules up on our website shortly after Origins.

Painted:

for some reason redwall comes to mind I don't know why

One suggestion, one question:

Q:
Have you looked into resin? The price seems a bit hefty for me. I'm wondering if resin would be cheaper.

S:
Have someone else paint your sample minis. the ones shown here aren't bad for gaming with, but you want your samples to *pop*. You want people to see your models in the best possible light, when they're trying to decide whether or not they want to buy them

Just some thoughts.

Eric

I really like these minis, if there was a cool skirmish game in the vein of mouseguard I'd be really interested in playing it. As it is I can't get behind buying models just for show.

Perhaps not...

Flintloque is a game of Napoleonic era warfare as fought by elves, goblins, and so on.

I'm going to have to agree in that you should find a profesional painter, because as it is ya they are great tabletop models but to sell you want people to have something to show "damn thats what mine can look like". Your best bet to is find a demon winner or somone because a lot of these "studios" paint like junk. Remember you have to spend money to make money.

Sorry for the delay in this, hadn't noticed the thread got replys before it went to page 2.

We have looked into Resin (and Plastic), wasn't cost effective. Some of the much larger future releases may end up being resin.

The game is skirmish, rulebook will be out in a few months.

They aren't that bad on price. 5 models for $25 or 3 large models for $35? Seems about in line with mini pricing these days.

The large badger isn't THAT much more metal than a Zoanthrope, and those are $20 each.

Did you consider doing separate head bitz? These might be usable for Skaven players, same with models like the chipmunk weapon team, if they are not too obviously Napoleonic. Just an idea.

The next several releases will be featuring multiple heads in addition to the multiple arms and other bits.

Saw the lancers Daniel did, solid job. I think with the badgers you should make them multiposable for the pack because I think they could really sell better that way. You got a solid product though so it should be interesting to see where you take it.

Yeah, Daniel did a fantastic job on the Lancers and Juan of Brisica. He sent us some in progress shots of the Mongeese and Weasels the other day that are also looking great, lots of bits!

With what must be the ugliest range of minis available.

At what point does a giant humanoid rat stop looking like a rat and starts looking like a bear? I ask because that big one with the claws is heading in that direction.

That's a badger, not a rat. It's actually a pretty accurate miniature representation of a badger's facial structure and bulk.

Y'know, if you crossed it with a human.

Bingo.

The Bears will be more Bearish.. and ya know... bigger.

Well, the mice looks interesting, but what is wrong with the badger's gut?

Irdiumstern wrote:Well, the mice looks interesting, but what is wrong with the badger's gut?

what do you mean?

I think these are pretty neat looking. They grew on me fast. Ill be watching this to see what you guys pump out

If anyone is able to make it to RECON (Cocoa Beach, FL) this weekend, they'll be able to check out not only the next few greens, but also get a first look at the concept artwork for The Vandalands (Germanic Rats!) and The Scyzantine Empire(Arabic Lizards!).

We'll also have the Mouse Conscript and Badger-At-Claw squad boxes up for grabs, and the latest playtest rulebook on hand.

Reminds me a bit of Vaugn Bode's artwork, remember "Cobalt 60" or the animated movie "Wizards"? If you could exploit that angle a bit, I could dig it. Would love to see the croc soldiers from Cobalt 60, or the red robot, Peace, from wizards. If you aren't familiar, you should check it out.

At the risk of coming across as a fanboi, I have been playtesting with Cyporien and OTL for the last year or so now on Brushfire - Historia Rodentia and have relished each game.

While I've only seen the masters, the models are wonderfully detailed. Their poses are a bit static, but not something that isn't easily solved with a bit of arm rotation. I'm looking forward to the Weasel Fusiliers and the Chipmunk Chaingun team.

What I think I love most about the game is the combination of anthropomorphistic animals, alternate-earth societies, and pop-culture references that OTL has managed to blend into a easy to love, read, and play game. After all, who wouldn't love berserking Germanic hamsters?

Somewere I have the old Bager Highlanders and some of the Otterman Empier Minis from a long time ago.
The Bagers are only 15mm though.

The minis look pretty nice, and there's a lot of room for creativity here. I was really into Redwall as a kid, so to see something similar in miniatures form is kind of cool.

That said, my interest in Redwall-type things has sort of waned with age, and I'm not sure if I'd actually get into a game like this. Maybe a miniature or two just to paint, but probably not an army. I'll be interested to see how the rules work though.

Is this going to be an army level game like Warhammer, or more of a skirmish game?

It is skirmish as mentioned earlier/elsewhere iirc

After all, who wouldn't love berserking Germanic hamsters?

Polish Voles?

How bought Foxes?

If not, can I get a playtest copy of the rules? I promise I'd write up an entire set of Kitsune rules to go with it...

Sorry, Kitsune are not in game. Only real japanese animals like Otters, Tanuki, Foxes, and Rabbits are in the japanese faction.

I am liking the sound of the Japanese faction

Cyporiean wrote:Sorry, Kitsune are not in game. Only real japanese animals like Otters, Tanuki, Foxes, and Rabbits are in the japanese faction.

Kitsune ARE Foxes.

Kitsune are nine tailed fox gods or a Pokémon.

Brushfire Foxes will have only one tail.

...and maybe try to blow up the Axony Parlaiment with a wheelbarrow of gunpowder.

Look great, mass kudos

Cyporiean wrote:Kitsune are nine tailed fox gods or a Pokémon.

Actually, linguistically, there is no difference in Japanese. My post was a joke on this fact.

Also, not all mythical Kitsune have 9 tails. The most common number of tails in folklore is 1, 5, 7 and, yes, 9.

Ah, Well, Fair enough.

Does this mean no Naruto then, dattebayo?

Take it they will be based on Samuri?

Samurai and Ashigaru will be the main focus for Ribenguo, but Shinobi are also a part of it.

They do not wear orange, and they do not cast magic.

Eyjafjallajökul be damned, we've received our bases today so the first wave is now ready to head down the door. Orders will be going out today and tomorrow, and then be delayed till Monday due to RECON this weekend.

The Weasel and Mongeese greens will be in the office next week, so they and the Mouse Lancers will most likely get released in June!

Just got back from RECON.

We've got three new retailers carrying our products:
Battle Zone - http://www.thebattlezoneonline.com/
17 West Main Street
Avon Park, FL 33825-3828

Dogs of War Gaming - http://www.dogsofwargaming.com/
1501 Robert J Conlan Boulevard Northeast
Palm Bay, FL 32905

Arsenal Games & Hobbies - http://www.arsenal-games.com/
198 South Belair Road
Augusta, GA

New concept art for the Rat Raiders, Sand Guard, Veiled Assassins, and Agamid Vizer will be up on the OTLG website soon.

And We've sold out of Mouse Conscripts, a second batch should be in stock in about 2 or 3 weeks. The Badgers-At-Claw are nearly all gone.

Sounds like things are off to a good start!

Am kinda glad the retailers are not this side of the Atlantic for the sake of the wallet- but sad also

At least my Bank Manager will be pleased

Working on it, Samples will be going out to several UK Distributors soon.

Your wallet can only be safe for so long...

You should do some Chinchillas too. They're rodents too.

My wife would buy them all.

Chinchillas are adorable.

Unfortunately, South America will not be one of the initial eight factions.

I'll see about having a Chinchillan Mercenary in there somewhere..

I've just been poking around your website and seen the mention of a seige tortoise.

Let me just warn you now: Scyzantine will not be a cheap army, but you will get to mount cannons onto the back of tortoises.

This so freaking cool! And second on the Chinchillas. They look like real-life fuzzy yodas

Edit: Also, generally how many models would I need to get for two factions to have a "small" game, kind of the equivalent of a 1000 point 40k game or 150 point Anima Tactics?

Edit: Also, generally how many models would I need to get for two factions to have a "small" game, kind of the equivalent of a 1000 point 40k game or 150 point Anima Tactics?

An average game is 100 or 200 points, and most models cost 5, 10, or 15 points.

So if you wanted to run nothing but say Badgers, you'd have 10 models per 100 points.

At RECON last weekend we were showing 50 points games with 5 Badgers VS 10 Mice, games would generally take about 20~30 minutes depending on how experienced the players were with wargames in general.

We've started a KickStarter project for Brushfire to help cover costs.

Basically, you pledge an amount of money and get some swag. You only get charged if the kick starter is successful.

Minimum is $10, and you get a Brushfire/OTL messenger bag, the more you pledge the more stuff you'll get, the highest level gets you and a friend a Rulebook and around 100pts worth of an Army.

What would be the best way to get a set of test rules for the game when I order some models?

Cannerus_The_Unbearable wrote:What would be the best way to get a set of test rules for the game when I order some models?

Here ya go: http://www.on-the-lamb.com/downloads/BFHRdemorules.pdf

Meant for 10 Mice (30mm Round bases) and 5 Badgers (40mm round bases).

A couple of questions:

1) Where is a model's speed at?

2) If I activate the 5 mice with bows as a squad and keep them within 3" they all stay a single squad until I activate them next turn, correct? So if I chose to activate two together and then three together, they would each stay that way until I activate them next turn (possibly together if w/in 3")?

1) All of a models' stats are listed on the card included with the model. But Mice Conscripts are 4 and Badgers are 5.

2) Correct. Squads reset at the beginning of a turn, allowing you to change up what models are activated together.

So if my group of mice archers got charged at the beginning of a turn before I had decided who was in the squad, I would decide then?

This sounds so cool. The badgers are really appealing at the moment, and the girl might enjoy some mice. Good stuff!

If you get off a turn 1 charge(Which is not an easy thing to do)/ranged attack, models are considered to be in squads by deployment cohesion. So if you went and put 7 mice within 3" of each other, they are considered to be one squad until you activate them.

What you had said a post back is correct when refering to how you activate them, when your being targeted they are considered to be the same squad they were in the previous turn until you activate them.

In this example:

B B B

M M
M M M

Top of the turn, your openent has 3 badgers charging at your 5 bowmen. You had activated them as a batch of 2 & 3 last turn, so the badgers must choose to charge either the 2 or the 3 man squad, and that squad will be making the charge reaction. With bowmen you'll most likely want to stand and shoot, or flee. lets say stand and shoot. Your two mice do four shots takes to their Bow's special rule and do some damage to the badgers, but not enough to finish them off.

BB B
M M
M M M

so the badgers finish their charge and slaughter the mice.

BB B

M M M

Even if they had attacks/damage left over, those three mice in the back could not be touched, as they are a separate squad.

Cool! That adds a really nice tactical element to it and makes it almost a hybrid skirmish/army game. I'll likely be placing an order at the beginning of next week ^_^

Just got some fantastic news from Gencon, we've been choosen to be a Marketing Fellowship! Which means our 10x10 booth just got kicked up to a 10x20!

I'll also see about having the preorder for the wave 02 miniatures up on the website before the month is done too (Weasels, Mongeese, Mice Lancers, and Juan of Brisica)

Due to a Shipping mistake, we still have not received our full restock of Mouse Conscripts & Badgers-At-Claw. We have gotten a small number of them in though.

We have gotten the masters for the next batch of miniatures in though, and here is the first Addition to Aquitar's Ranks: The Weasel Fusiler!

Here is a quick shot of it with the Badger-At-Claw.


I'll take a better shot of it tonight/tomorrow.

The Weasel Fusilier, Mongoose Legionnaire, and Mouse Lancer Squad Boxes will be shipping Early June with five of each in their boxes.

Some more pics of Wave 02's releases, I'll have pictures of the Mongoose Legionnaires and Mouse Lancers next week.

You need a mongoose assasin with a bunch of deadly snake killing gadgits.

I like the concept here, really neat ideas. If I throw in some bones, can I get a preorder on that hamster machinegun?

Grot 6 wrote:You need a mongoose assasin with a bunch of deadly snake killing gadgits.

The Mongoose Special rule is actually called 'Snake Killer.' Its kinda of like overwatch, but better.

The Chipmunk Weapon Team (Chain Gun and Mortar) are currently being sculpted (Along with the Rat Raiders, Sand Guard, Mole Tactician, and Capybara Capitaine), we're hoping to have them for release at Gencon.

We've finalized the prices for wave 02, and have enabled them on our store.

Weasel Fusiliers: 5 per Squad Box, $29.99
Mongoose Legionnaires: 5 per Squad Box, $29.99
Mouse Lancers: 5 per Squad Box, $24.99
Juan of Brisica: 1 per Blister, $9.99

And Remember, we still have that coupon for 20% off all orders (Including preorders): MAY2010

So is that Badger at arms and the mice the basic set, or is there something else coming down the pipe in the form of a boxed set?

Grot 6 wrote:So is that Badger at arms and the mice the basic set, or is there something else coming down the pipe in the form of a boxed set?

We'll be doing proper starter sets after the rulebook is out in Aug, but any of the Squad boxes can function as a starter.

I probably won't be buying these (One wargame is enough for my highschool wallet), but I still can't wait until you release those Sandguard. Lizard Ottomans? Awesome.

What are the Janissary?

Necroman wrote:I probably won't be buying these (One wargame is enough for my highschool wallet), but I still can't wait until you release those Sandguard. Lizard Ottomans? Awesome.

The more I see of this, the more I like it. I may very well get suckered into this soon enough. Just a couple of questions:

1. Will there be a range that will be easily interchangable with GW's Skaven?

2. Will there be Kangaroo/Wallabys?

3. Lemurs?

4. Prarie Dogs/Meerkats?

5. Raccoons?

6. Squirrels?

1) Rat Raiders could work as proxies for Skaven, they equip Spears & Shields. The models are alittle taller then your standard GW models though.

2-4) Yes, but not right away.

5) Raccoons will be part of the American based faction coming later on. There will be a Raccoon as part of the free Naval Expansion coming at the end of the year.

6) Yes, one variety is in Chugoku (China based faction). They are Flying Squirrels based on the Boxers. The other Variety will be part of Mexico, and are your standard Squirrel.

Cyporiean- you have my support. Awesome! Really liking the thought of flying squirrel boxer rebels, lol

chaos0xomega wrote:Cyporiean- you have my support. Awesome! Really liking the thought of flying squirrel boxer rebels, lol

They should be pretty cool models, very Wuxia. Currently set to be a December release, but could be moved up depending on how well Brushfire does at Gencon and beyond.


So make sure if you attend Gencon this year to stop by, give it a go, grab some swag, and then when you get home tell your LGS they need to carry Brushfire

Some more painted shots of Wave 03.

With Gencon only a few days out I figured I'd bump this with a bit more related info.

By stopping by our booth you'll not only get to try out Brushfire, but you'll also be able to see previews of September's Devon Brigadiers, Gopher Engineers, Otter Ashigaru, and October's Hamster Berserkers. In addition, anyone who picks up $50 worth of stuff will get a free Brushfire Messenger bag that includes a random sample base from WarCast Studios and a coupon for Scrying Eye Games. Also, should we run out of something you want or you wish to preorder one of the upcoming releases, we will be set up to take backorders at the con and they'll be shipped to you for Free, and if you spend over $50 while doing so and we have any messenger bags left, you'll get one.

So those who are able to make it to Gencon, stop by #2635 and say "Hi!"

Special Deal!!
All orders of $50 or over will receive a Brushfire Messenger bag for free! No coupon code required, the bag will automatically be added to your order.

Those are some cool looking models, I'll be keeping an eye out in the future.

I keep coming back to this thread, and every time I am disappointed. I come back looking for one thing and one thing only: big guns mounted on turtles.

When will Scyzantine get some loving?

Soon(tm)

Based on the feedback we've received from fans and retailers, The Vandalands & Ribenguo will be next, followed by Axony & Zabar, and then Scyzantine & Chugoku. As with Next's month's releases something from further down in the que could wind up early.

The Siege Tortoises are special though, they're going to be big and pricey, and we want to make sure their fantastic enough that you won't care about their cost.

How far out is Xalapena & Vespuccia?

I'll +1 the request for seige tortoises and sand guard. Loved the way they played last time.

After the Historia Rodentia factions are out, then we'll be doing other stuff.

I already don't! There's something deep down and primal within me, singing with the voice that created the cosmos. And it is singing to me two words, repeated over and over.

Cy, you had me at "Siege Tortoise."

Hamster Berserkers


Otter Ashigaru


Gopher Engineers

Too much awesome...

I'm trying to stick to my guns and wait for scyzantines, but those ashigaru look so good.

Yay gophers! "Zis is 'ow we zay goodbye in Aquitar!"

Announcing Warband Boxes
We have been thinking long and hard about how we wanted to do a starter set. We didn't want them to be pricey, take up too much retail space, or negate any of our previous releases. What we've come up with is the Warband Boxes.
In each Warband Box you will find a hero, 25 resources worth of troops, and the warbands quickstart rules. Warbands is an alternate way of playing brushfire that is a great way for new players to learn the basics with a small number of models before moving up to the full skirmish rules.
The first two of these Warband boxes will be Aquitar & Mare-Civitas. The Aquitar Warband Box will include 1 Mole Tactician, 1 Badger-At-Claw, and 3 Weasel Fusiliers. The Mare-Civitas Warband Box will include 1 Capybara Capt, 3 Mouse Lancers, and 2 Mouse Conscripts.
Both of these Warband Boxes will be $29.99. Players can then easily add another Squad box or Warband Box to this to create a 50 to 75 resource army. Expected ship date for these will be in October.

Exciting News today!

Warpath Games is now carrying Brushfire! Warpath is our first distributor, and should be good for anyone looking for Brushfire on the other coast. We're still working on the other side of the Pond, but hopefully we'll solve that soon.

That is pretty cool. I wish I knew how big it is.

But ours will have Cannons/ballistas strapped to the back of it, and will be one of these:

A small child? I take steps to prevent having any of those around...

(Don't be a fool, wrap your tool.)

I'd love to see cannons and ballistas strapped to a small child actually...


back on topic: Some really cool models and concepts in this thread. Color me intrigued...

Don't want to advertise another company on your thread, but according to their website it's 28mm scale (the little terrapins on the back are roughly GW goblin sized).

Prophecy07 wrote:Don't want to advertise another company on your thread, but according to their website it's 28mm scale (the little terrapins on the back are roughly GW goblin sized).

Yeah, 28mm scale on nonhumans is always rough to tell. It sounds like our Siege Totorise will be larger then.

We've been informed that there will be a slight delay in getting the Hamsters and Gophers in, this should only be a few days additional wait time. This unfortunately means we will not have them for Hurricon next weekend. Because we know that everyone hates Delays, here is a coupon for 10% off until Sept 30th, this is good for anything in our shop: DELAY10

Hey folks, the prices for Wave 05 (Aka Ribenguo!) have been finalized, and are now enabled for preordering. Don't forget about our coupon code for 10% off (DELAY10) and the fact that you get a free messenger bag with a $50 purchase, and a free Mantic Games Elf Bowmen sprue while supplies last.

Also an update on the Gophers and Hamsters, while the Hamsters are still unfortunately delayed a week (to provide you with a better casting) the Gophers should be in our hands by the weekend and ready to ship out when we return from Hurricon.

I'd like to testifty that Brushfire is quite fun. Played a demo at hurricon today and the alternate activation mechanic works great.

The ashigaru look amazing and so do the samurai (Your quite the painter Emily!). I think i'll be getting the warbands box when it comes out for them.

Thanks for stopping by Marcus.

Anytime Cyp. I enjoyed it, so it felt right to say so.

Back from Hurricon!

We had some new models on display at the con: Otter Ashigaru, Tanuki Samurai, and Fox Shinobi! These three are October releases, and are currently up for preorder on our website.

(Better pictures and scale pictures coming soon)


Also announced at Hurricon this weekend was Brushfire - Naumachia the first expansion for Brushfire. Naumachia will bring naval warfare rules to Brushfire in addition to adding new Troops and Heroes to each Historia Rodentia faction, in one free to download PDF. Naumachia is currently in its play testing phase, but we expect to release it in early 2011.

Cyporiean wrote:Fox Shinobi!

You've got my money.

Shinobi fox looking good!

Look forward to more pics Cyporian!

I was hoping to have more pics for you today, but my painting keeps getting interrupted by customers/retailers orders. So here is a clearer & further WIP of the Tanuki Samurai w/Greatsword that you can kinda see in the Hurricon photo.



Working on him and the Otters today in between other stuff, going to pass the Foxes onto Mike (Painter of the Gophers) as I think he'll do an amazing job on them.

The Tanuki are on 40mm bases, and have options for Swords, Wakizashi, Greatswords, and Bows.
The Otters are on 30mm bases, and have options for Pikes, Bows, Rifles, and Pavises.
The Foxes are on 30mm bases, and have options for Daggers/Kunai, and Sickle & Chain

All three units also come with three separate head choices.

We will also be releasing a separate bits pack at later point that will provide Japanese style back banners. We're releasing these separately to keep down the costs for the Ribenguo models, and we felt that not every player would want to place banners on all of their models, and also that some players of other games might enjoy having 30mm scale back banners for their models.

Are you planing having just the heads avalible?

Will these be blisters as well? I'd like to get a samurai blister.

Anpu42 wrote:Are you planing having just the heads avalible?

If there is enough demand for it, I believe we can do these as bits. But as a standard its alot more trouble then its worth to do individual bits.

lord marcus wrote:Will these be blisters as well? I'd like to get a samurai blister.

Its a likely possibility that Ribenguo blisters will show up around the same time as their Warband Boxset.

ok cool. How much do you estimate a samurai should cost?

lord marcus wrote:ok cool. How much do you estimate a samurai should cost?

That will depend on if there is demand for them to be singles or doubles. But it shouldn't be too much difference PPM then the Squad Box.

So our initial casting of Hamster Berserkers got lost in the mail stream between our replicator and our HQ, which has caused a significant delay in their getting into folks' hands. We've gotten our replicator to recast the them and ship them out again. Tracking information (which wasnt included last time for some reason) shows they'll be here tomorrow. Since the packaging is all ready, preorders will be shipping out tomorrow afternoon to customers and stores!

We're rather happy about finally getting these out, and we're really sorry that it too so much longer, that we're going to extend the DELAY10 coupon, its now good until Sunday! So go ahead and enjoy an extra 10% off while it lasts!

So those Hamster Berserkers? nearly sold out (1 box, 3 blisters left). Restock on the way.

Today is the last day for the DELAY10 coupon.

Very good to hear, wishing you every success!

Instead of a blister, the hamsters should have been packaged in one of those plastic ball they run around in!

Sounds like they are selling well enough without silly gimmicks

Well, when playing Brushfire, you can launch several of these little buggers inside one of those balls as a trebuchet ammo.

We're hoping to a bit more touring about, so we've proposed the question of what conventions you'd like to see OTLG at in 2011? We'll most likely have to stay in the states, but if there is enough demand to go pond hopping we'll look into it.

Post here or in our forums. Bonus points if you've got an LGS in the neighborhood of a convention you'd like us to demo at.

Have you concidered some of the Furry Convetions?

Anpu42 wrote:Have you concidered some of the Furry Convetions?

We've looked into some, but they have the habit of not returning our e-mails or having stupid requirements for dealers (like dealers don't handle money, everyone pays then convention, and then the con mails the dealer a cheque)

Retailers!

Warpath Games now has Brushfire instock for your west coast wholesale ordering pleasure!

This game looks weird, but the good kind of weird like staying home and watching that really weird show on TV that you have never seen before, and it just blows your mind and you don't know why.

Thanks for taking part in the sale

The Warbands Boxsets for Aquitar and Mare-Civitas now have their covers and are ready to go!

If your near the St. Petersburg, Florida area, stop by Necronomicon next weekend. We'll be there running demos.

Is that the tourney Janner and his brother run or something else?

lord marcus wrote:Is that the tourney Janner and his brother run or something else?

no idea who runs it, but its a gaming con in St. Pete.

Its going to be our first time there.

Otter Ashigaru will begin shipping out this Thursday!

The Legionnaires are really nice models. The game is nice and pretty good paced.

Keep the minis coming

Nice models, I could definetly see buying some if I need them for some weird conversion.

Otters are shipping, initial shipment is nearly gone.

We'll be leaving for Necronomicon in St. Petersburg, FL later today, so any orders placed this weekend will not be shipped out until Monday.

We're down to only about 10ish Messenger Bags, so if your looking to get one, now is the time!

Thursday is the boss's (Me) birthday, so we're running two sales this week to celebrate! One just for Retailers, and the other for Regular Customers.

For our regular customers ordering direct, orders placed on Thursday and Friday will be 30% off. Just add the items to your cart, and the discount should apply.

For our retailers, including any new ones that sign up with us this week, orders placed Wednesday through Sunday will be 60% off SRP rather then the usual discount. Just e-mail or call us to place an order.

The sale is on!

The sale has been quite popular, but we've had a few customers experience troubles with the shopping cart. We think we've fixed most of the issues (there is still some odd bug with Authorize.net and cards from the land of OZ that doesn't want to be fixed).

In light of all this, we're extending the sale to Sunday for Customers

Folks have been asking for it, so here is the bits section of our webshop!

All bits are limited in quantity, and aren't going to be regularly stocked. Just when we have extra bits for whatever reason, they'll be listed there. I've got a few more bins of bits to go through (Weasel, Mongoose, Otter), but this is pretty much the majority of the bits.
