Cool, I added them. I've also added tags for description. It might be a good idea to have blurbs for each one from people who know about them.

NAVARRO, could you provide this for the Spanish-language games and any others? 42MA, could you provide any?

Just remembered another one from Tales of war miniatures... Ron and Bones ( skirmish with cards pirates game) http://www.taleofwar.com/shop/cms.php?id_cms=6

I had a look at warlands because I am in the market for something like that right now. But the lack of content on the website is offputting.
PP and GW have better websites than a lot of the alternatives, it has to be said.

Yeah, I like that sort of thing myself. I mean, come on:



!

Take a look at the Nuclear Renaissance link. The minis are okay, maybe what you're looking for. There are also some cool biker minis -- some which could be kind of post-apoc -- from Westwind.

(This thread is becoming pretty useful, to me at least.)

Here is a little known french game called Consortium. The game seems to be in it's infancy, so like so many of these things, it could blow either way. They arn't advertising much, which of course, can't be helping them....maybe they are simply concentrating on the French market.....anyways.....here are some of the miniatures, and a linky-poo

Enjoy

Thanks, added.

I cannot for the life of me remember the sea-themed game. It has dudes that are encrusted with barnacles, etc., and a treasure-hunting faction. The company that makes them just released an undersea temple piece of terrain a couple of weeks ago. If anyone remembers please post!

RE: consortium -- this dude is pretty gross . . . at 35mm, could be useful to Nurgle fans. Looking at that carapace on his back, maybe even people who are interested in counts-as genestealer cults . . .

I'll try and come up with some quick descriptions. Some of them are games I've seen but not had the chance to play. I'll PM the descriptions to you so I don't fill up this thread.

I have some more games:

Spinespur- Horror skirmish game. Very odd models
http://www.comfychairgames.com/home.php

Twilight- Saw this game at salute, uses an unusual stone throwing mechanism
http://www.hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/range.php?range_id=64

Monsterpocalypse- A PP game. You control Monsters / Aliens / Giant robots and fight in a city
http://www.monsterpocalypse.com/

Any chance of getting a sticky containing descriptions and links to major non GW games?

Added them (Monsterpocalypse was already on). A sticky could work but I think an article could be better.

Keep 'em coming, mates!

Bushido

Fantasy/Feudal Japanese themed skirmish game. The website is kind of poor right now, but some of the sculpts are promising, and the rules and stat cards are all up on the website. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

A French game, SMOG:

Victorian Fantasy. Think Jack the Ripper, Sherlock Holmes and steampunk.

The minis are top-notch, but I believe they are 54mm resin (not sure). They are also very expensive. I believe it might be more in line with Inquisitor, than a skirmish game. The rules were just released last week.

I'm just adding it because it looks great, but I know it's more of a collecter's line than a wargamer's.

Perhaps you're thinking of Shadowsea.
http://www.ganeshagames.net/shadowsea/

It's based on the Song of Blades and Heroes ruleset (by Ganesha games) and has an accompanying line of miniatures produced by Cavlacade Wargames.
http://cavalcadewargames.com/cavalcade/Dragonblood.html
The PDF is available from Ganesha and the minis and paper copy are available from Cavalcade.

I've not played Shadowsea, but my club plays Song of Blades at least once a month or more. For folks looking to dip their toes outside of GW and PP, they really owe it to themselves to drop 5 bucks and buy Song of Blades and Heroes. It doesn't have an acompanying miniatures line, but it's a really fun ruleset and one of the best points of the game is the ability to stat up whatever fantasy minis you want.

I had not looked at this thread in a while. Lots of neat games that I did not know about.

I thought that I would add Atomic Cafe 1957 by Brigade Games.
