June newsletter can be found here: http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/news/010613.pdf

Recap for those work-blocked or too lazy:
- The trio of Victorian minis shown above are now on sale
- Four more Blake's 7 mini greens have been previewed
- A new Tweety Mattison is being worked on, alongside an Impossible Girl and a Super-Temp
- September will see more minions with a commander, administrator and heavy machine gun crew
- The next programme guide will be the Argonauts
- A supplement for the 7th Voyage has also been announced: The Labours of Herakles, with rules for creating your own monsters and the amazons

And those Federated Females are looking great. Nice also to see that they are going to be doing the weapons separate.

July newsletter is out now: http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/news/010713.pdf

Cool, sign me up for a ford transit as soon as it is released.

It will be painted up as a not-Mystery Machine!

Surely that depends on the mark of Transit? I would imagine a more modern Transit being a beffer fit for TMM than the older marks with the wings higher than the bonnet and the lights flat to the front.

Still, could be very useful. Early mark 1 Transit and an earlier time travel operative (Complete with ? handled umbrella) would be something I would love to see.

And I am also stoked to see some Federated Security additions too. The commander, females, and that funky robot are just what I need to round out a small section I have.

Yeah... I've got all the Federated stuff so far so I'm going to pick up the new models at some point, should give me a decent little force to go up against either the Future Freedom Fighters or even ~Spectrum.

About all that's memorable in that line that hasn't been released so far would be a slightly short, balding section leader. (Hint, hint!)

There must be some good 1/43 scale model cars of Transits and the like.

Bingo!

Not exactly cheap, but thanks for the link!

Not as cheap as when I was young, definitely.

You might do better to buy clapped out models on eBay and repaint them.

7ombieTv could do with a proper big expansion. ...So I may have gone squee a little on finding out it'd be a Cold War themed one. ^^

Hey guys, today all PDF's are 50% off - http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/wp/product-category/pdfs/

United Radionics program guide out now: http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/wp/product/programme-guide-utd-radionics/

United Radionics presents a carefully crafted public persona of a forward thinking global corporation. In reality it is involved in multiple underhand operations, from creating artificial foodstuffs from toxic waste to advanced learning machines using discredited Soviet brainwashing technology. Get the dossier containing the history, current operations, personnel and tactics of United Radionics in our 54 page PDF, which also contains a £2 off voucher useable towards the print version of the Villainous Programme Guide.

Sculpted by Andrew May — The Guru and Kali

I'll wait till they're given a paint job before passing judgement, but as they are the level of detail looks a bit iffy, or rather there isn't much definition to it. Still, an alternative Guru pose and a sculpt for Kali are no problem, and its always nice to see something new from Crooked Dice.

Now where's my damn Nazi Zombie Vampire expansion?

Hopefully it will be released soon, still waiting for the October newsletter!

From the Crooked Facebook:

Good grief. Almost finished sculpts of 7 St Searles zombie hunting school girls. One Ace character, plus three each fourth formers with catapults and sixth formers with hockey sticks. Absolutely brilliant. You WILL have a happy halloween.

^^ I seen your post about Vlad's Army (catchy title). December seems a bit late to be releasing a Halloween supplement, but then again its only really a week or so following the event. At least however my regular opponent's gotten a hold of some Secrets of the Third Reich and Hasslefree Nazi zombie miniatures that'll work quite nicely with the theme.

Hmn, now to beg for a Mad Max style zombie expansion just so I can use some of my new models. =)

Yeah, bit of a shame that it's still some time out, but on the bright side, Villain program guide ahoy!

re: Suggestions, just ask them nicely, I've found that both Karl and Graeme are most reasonable indeed.

From a test game of the supplement.



I've seen the crew at many a show, but always seem to forgot to strike up some conversation with them. Though it has been pandered about that those that play the game at my club organise a participating game for the Falkirk show, can't let the Infinity players keep getting all the awards (he gloats).

Haha, no panic indeed!

November will see our lone zombie hunter Misty joined by seven new classmates from that last bastion of hope against the zombie apocalypse - St Searle's Foundation for Young Women.

Beautifully sculpted by Neil Mckenzie, we have three feral Fourth formers including 'scweamer' Violent Elizabeth and four Sixth Formers, such as hockey captain Jackie and new girl Dorothy. These should be in store from 01 November and hopefully with me at Crisis.

Fourth Former with catapult, Fourth Former with attitude and Violent Elizabeth.



Jackie, Hockey Captain.



Sixth Former bookworm, Sixth Former Glamourpuss and Dorothy



All Sixth Formers.



The whole class.

edit.

Misty, the Head Girl can be found here: http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/wp/product/misty/

Out this Friday...



The proportions are ..."heroic".

Wow, those hands..

Also painted versions of the last batch. All out Friday.

The Guru



Kali



And the St. Searles Girls

Guru I like a lot, Kali not so much. The girls look decent enough, but that could just be the paint job.

The latest edition of the Crooked Dice newsletter is out. Without tearing apart the .pdf (and if you really care about the images just look at the that) the upcoming releases are as follows:

The Hands of S.H.I.V.A.
Alongside our monthly releases, we're also hoping to address some gaps in the core casts from the Programme Guides. First off are S.H.I.V.A. with 15 new pieces being sculpted by Andrew May. These include the remaining Co Stars, some, Thuggee, new Daughters of SHIVA and a completely new 80mm model... the Destroyer

7TV: Villains Programme Guide
Find out more about three of 7TV‘s most popular shows in this 124 page sourcebook. Inside you’ll find full backgrounds, stats, casts, locations, gadgets, vehicles, weapons and events for The Argonauts, S.H.I.V.A. and United Radionics. If you have purchased any of the previous PDFs, don’t forget to use your discount code(s) during checkout. If you present all 3 codes, we’ll email you the link for the combined PDF free! Remember it's a manual email, so please allow us some time!

7th Voyage: Myths & Monsters
Our next 7th Voyage supplement is now available in PDF and in print. Concentrating on two of the greatest stories of Ancient Greece, that of Herakles’ Twelve Labours and Odysseus’ struggle to return home, it provides new rules and campaigns based on these epics.

Doctor Who Miniature Game
It's been a while since we've released anything for DWMG, but we've dusted off our award winning 2011 participation game Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Daleks into a new free supplement with all the swanky handouts and rules you need to play

Unfortunately the 7ombieTv expansion has been delayed, but "its coming". ^^'

I am saddened by the 7ombieTV delay.

I questioned about it on one of their facebook subpages. There's only two of them and a few others that all work part time, so this other month's releases have delayed it. I guess I can't feel bad about any set backs considering the size of the company really, though it would have been nice to have had it available for Halloween. Guess I'll be recreating Dead Snow instead. =P
