I'm still loving these 'Pan's Labyrinth' looking Vaettir. The Docga are also very good, I strongly favour the more canine looking of the two available.

**Tor Gaming**

Hey guys,

Glad you liking what we're doing, model wise. It's not surprising people see a Pan's Labyrinth influence in the Vaettir, Guillermo del Toro was the big 'inspiration' behind the factions look. Been a big fan of his work for ages, so just seemed right to use his work as inspiration for a faction! In fact, it's more the tooth fairies from HB2 than PL that influenced them, but a lot of his stuff crossed over from one film to another. You can spot his work from a mile away.

Anyway, we would really like to hear if you like the rules or not!! Especially the stuff in the Rules Studio.

We'd really like to get feedback on it. No need for our minis right now through, just the rules and some proxies will set you up (although it does seem to play better when using the right figures!! weird that.....lol)

Tor Gaming Seeks Show Partners.

Hmmm, that title sounds like a lonely hearts advert...... Anyway, we're looking for some show attending companies to carry the Relics range on their stall at shows they attend.

Essentially, we're looking for those that can provide demos on their stall, but this is not a 'set in stone' requirement. As long as you attend shows and are willing to carry our range, We’d like to hear from you.

The discounts offered for these partners will be above the usual retailer discount, with the highest discount available to those able to provide demos.

If you are interested in becoming a Tor Gaming show partner, Please get in touch (contact at torgaming.co.uk). If you know a company that you think may be interested, point them in our direction.

Cheers

Gavin.

It gives us great pleasure to announce the first member of the Tor Gaming show Partnership.

Four A Miniatures will be the first trader to be carrying the Relics range at shows in the UK.

The next show they will be attending is the Smoggycon 2010 in Middlesbrough on November 27th and they will have the Relics range with them! (They will also be at Recon (Pudsey, Leeds) on the 4th Dec.)

We have added a new calendar system to our website with which we will use to post all shows and the attending traders that carry the Relics range. you can find it here

We would like to thank Andy from Four A Miniatures for teaming up with us and we look forward to working with them more in the future.

**Tor Gaming**

It's that time of the year already!!

I'm not sure what happened to 2010, but it seems that Christmas is just round the corner. It is, in fact, the first Christmas that Tor Gaming has seen as a miniature producer!!

So, we thought it would be nice to have a little offer for the festive period.

Spend £40 or more and use the following coupon code to get 15% off your order.

code: christmas

The code is good for use once per customer and expires on the 31st December 2010

I have just posted 2 new profiles into the Rules Studio on our forum. A new Britanan Profile, the Highlanders, and a new Orcnar profile, the Grymman.

You can find them here:

http://www.torgaming.co.uk/forum/index.php/board,47.0.html

As with all the rules in the board posted above, they are 'development' rules and therefore not official. We post them so anybody can take a look at what we're doing and even have a say in it. And believe me, we really want to hear what you have to say about it so tell us!!

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Have printed off a set today
wished you updated yesterday!

will try and get a game or two with some proxies and let you know how it goes.

**Tor Gaming**

That's me through and through, always a little late!!

looking forward to seeing what you think. ;-)

**Tor Gaming**

I forgot to say that if you are a member of the Tor Gaming forum, you can see some previews pics of the first Orcnar command model and Britanan Arcanum Guard Model.

Both these sculpt will have profiles that makes use of the command rules soon to be available as beta and the Guard also makes use of the Magic rules that will also be available soon as beta.

You can find them on this board as attachements:

As you will no doubt be aware, VAT in the UK will be going up in the New Year. Whilst we would love to cover this increase ourselves, the fact we are already covering increased metal costs since we first started in business means we reluctantly have to raise our prices.

We will only raise our prices to reflect the VAT increase and nothing else.

But, as we currently have a Christmas offer on, why not get a jump on the increase and save yourself even more pennies by spending over £40 and use the code christmas to save 15%. Offer ends on the 31st December.

Lastly, we really would like to get rid of the remaining clearance stock, so it is now at 40% off!!! So, take a quick look and see if there is anything you want!

Automatically Appended Next Post:
In addition to the VAT increase, if you are outside the EU, you won't be affected as we do not charge VAT on your orders.

I should have included that in the announcement above, sorry about that.

**Tor Gaming**

Well, I've pulled my finger out of the hole it was in and sorted out a couple of more videos. The Britanan Grenadier is on the You Tube video right now, and the Vaettir Varrier video will be up soonish.

You can find our channel on here or on our own site here

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Doh
my daughter has just left
She loved other videos

**Tor Gaming**

ha, always the way!! The Vaettir Varrier vid is uploaded now.

I have also posted another preview sculpt onto the forum viewable by forum members, the Vaettir Varbres (sculpted by Kevin Kosse).

In addition, we have now moved the preview sculpts of the Britanan Royal Arcanum Guard Sculpt (sculpted by Kevin Kosse) and the Orcnar Beorn Sculpt (sculpted by Sergio Alonso Leon) to the news section so everyone should be able to view them, forum member or not.

Enjoy.

We thought we would show some pics of the next release for the Relics table top game

The grand scale and infinite potential of King Jorje’s vision of the Britanan Empire was finally realised with the creation of the Royal Arcanum Guard. Each one is hand stitched personally by his majesty himself, it is a passionate indulgence for him and into each he interweaves his own wisdom and cunning and all too abundantly his furious hatred for lesser creatures. The magic that is employed by the King to ignite the spark of life within the Arcanum Guard is an ancient craft known by few, those that are learned in its ways are usually reluctant to harness its power as its effects can cause unpredictable side effects.

This is somewhat true in the case of King Jorje, some random element of his spells have left him with the ability to see through the button eyes of his prized creations as if he is there on the battlefield himself, this phenomenon can be a gift or a curse dependant on how active the Royal Arcanum Guard are from day to day, more often than not though, the abundance of visual information that is seen through the Kings eyes is too much to comprehend as the might of the Britanan Empire pushes forward in every possible direction.

Able to operate independently upon the battlefield, the Royal Arcanum Guard are an inspirational sight to behold, their skilled manipulation of magic allows them to offer a measure of protection for the troopers they command yet they are also quite capable of harnessing its more destructive qualities to wreak havoc upon the forces of their enemies, instilling dread terror in their hearts as they march upon them.

We expect to have these on our store for pre-order shortly with a projected release date of late January and a possible price of £5.50 per pack, but not 100% on that yet. The pack will contain all the pieces to make either of the two poses shown or soem other pose that you crazy converters come up with using the pieces (it also has 2 balls in the pack, different sizes)

For those that are members of the Tor Gaming forum, I have just posted pics of the first Nuem greens.

In the latest blog post I have taken a few minutes to acknowledge the efforts of a few local gamers and the contribution towards Relics so far. Seriously, it's amazing how much further forward Relics is with the help of these few guys, so it's only fair I give them credit and the lime light for Christmas!

In addition to this, I also touch on the subject of a new game that has just entered development ~ Project Fire.

Read all about it here:

Merry Christmas

Just ordered some Troopers and Grenadiers to use in my Malifaux puppet crew and I love them! I should get around to a review on my blog within the next month or two.

Keep up the good work, Tor!
