Subject: [Brushfire] The Mongoose is out of the bag...
Oh dear god - that is so full of win I cannot stand it!! A chipmunk squirrelly thing armed with a gattling gun- how can you not like it?
As I say to many gaming companies, you ought to sell some of the art. There has to be a market for it - I would happily buy that an chuck it up on the wall of my model room.
2014 will be the year of zero GW purchases. Kneadite instead of GS, no paints or models. 2014 will be the year I finally make the move to military models and away from miniature games.

We have a Zazzle shop with some posters. I'll see about talking with Heath about throwing some of the concept artwork up as well.

Didn't know that, will check it out. I hope some of the concept art makes it - especially that piece.
Btw, enjoying the Brushfire rule book, will get some models as soon as done ogres. That gattling gun is a definite purchase if similar to concept - I like the running loader, I hope that pose makes it to the final product.
Didn't realize the other book was an RPG, oops - how can I hold my head up amongst my mini-gaming friends now I own an RPG rule book.

Tell them it works rather well as a table leg stabilizer.

The Elf is from our first game, an RPG called 'Legendary Realms'.

Zazzle is having an up to 75% off sale.. which is 30% off shirts, and 50% off posters. Just use the code "FINALHOLIDAY".
And for some reason a few Brushfire Posters are not showing up in our store. Here are some direct links:

i really want to play as Rodent Zhang Jiao
Chugoku has sadly had very little interest (your the 2nd or 3rd person to ask about them), so they've been low priority. Should get some Flying Boxers and Lem Han next year.
Was looking at the "State of the Mongoose" link from the OP and this part that the OP refers to:
State of the Mongoose wrote:Finally, I should mention Historia Rodentia/Brushfire. As mentioned under the Legend RPG, a chance encounter at Gen Con led us into talks with On The Lamb Games to produce a new version of their animal-based wargame and help it reach wider distribution. No release date has been set, and there is a fair bit of work to do yet (On The Lamb are currently looking at converting it to the Battlefield Evolution/Starship Troopers rules set), but at the moment we are looking around the bottom end of 2012 for release. Again, keep an eye on our web site (and On The Lamb’s!) for news and previews.
It will probably come down to this or The Hobbit game from GW (if that happens) to be my "army level" project in, say, 2013... and I know I'd rather have it be this!
Will you be continuing to update this particular thread with news as you progress? Looking forward to hearing progress, although I'm sure it will be a long process to reach that goal.

Since there is a movement towards having smaller companies having a single thread for all of their news.. yes, it will most likely all be in this thread.
Current info:
Warclaw (working title)
The system is based on Starship Troopers/Battlefield Evolution, incorporating elements from both to bring it to a 3rd edition.
Rules/Fluff will be written by OTLG, release will be handled by Mongoose Publishing.
Six Factions from the Brushfire world in the initial release.
Keep an eye for our convention appearances during 2012 to see it action... Dakkacon... Adepticon... Gencon...

If you guys make it out to DakkaCon at the end of January, that'd be awesome!
Also just spent several minutes trying to Ctrl-F search for this thread based on the previous title . The new one is better for an ongoing N&R thread, though!

Short of something unfortunate happening, we should be at Dakkacon with one or two Portable Warfare bags full of Brushfire minis.. Brushfire is a definite, Warclaw is a possibility
The Shrew Hussar green just arrived to OTLG! This is one of our most anticipated releases, so we're going to try to get it casted asap. Since we can usually get 3 models in the master mold, the Sand Guard will go out at the same time.
Both of these will be up for preorder shortly, just gotta get some pictures taken of the Hussar.
I don't have a price atm, but keep in mind the Sand Guard is a big boy..
Prices are not set in stone and may change (up or down) once the final costs come in, but by preordering you won't pay a cent more. In addition, anyone who preorders a Shrew Hussar/Carbineer Squad Box will get an additional Shrew Hussar/Carbineer included!
Now there are a few of you who have the Brushfire Rulebook and are going.. the feth is a Shrew Carbineer? Its a new unit for Aquitar, Carbine using Shrews riding Kiwis
Bits Break Down:
Spoiler:
Kiwi - 4 Parts: Legs, Body Half A, Body Half B, Head
Shrew -2 sets of Arms, 6 Heads, 2 Pistols, 2 Rifles, tail, Body, sword hand, empty hand.
Oh man, I see some Kiwi-riding IG Roughriders in my future!
Man, I wish there was a real Black Library where I could get a Black Library Card and take out Black Library Books without having to buy them. Of course, late fees would be your soul. But it would be worth it. - InquisitorMack

Subject: [Brushfire][Warclaw] News & Rumors / Dec 20th - Shrew Hussars and Sand Guard
Just for any UK gamers waiting to try Brushfire or eagerly awaiting a UK stockist, it seems Crystal Games & Books is up and running now initially and have their web store sorted. At the moment, they have a small selection of stock, hopefully we will see some more in the future.
I am so behind the curve! Maybe it's just that I can't figure out how to use your website, but I haven't been able to find pictures of hardly any of the miniatures. For example, the one on the left here seems to be currently in production (i.e., not one of the new ones you're anouncing!) but I haven't seen it before...
Is there a site with a comprehensive list with pics?
Also, the one on the left of this, is that a WIP or one currently in production, too?
All that aside, the Shrew Hussar is So Cool!! I do find myself more drawn to the little guy in the first pic I posted, and the turtle thing on the left of this one, though, for my own faction . Not sure which factions that is, though

There is the Gallery, the store, and on the Retailers page there is a downloadable product list (USD and GBP)
I am working on re-designing the site at the moment, no idea when the new version will go live.

That's the Kernish Terrier, one of Axony's models came out at Gencon this year, and the model to the left is Aquitar's Badger-At-Claw (unpainted)

"Can a magician kill a man by magic?" Lord Wellington asked Strange. Strange frowned. He seemed to dislike the question. "I suppose a magician might," he admitted, "but a gentleman never could." Susanna Clarke Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
Fixed the links, WordPress was adding extras to it.
Automatically Appended Next Post: The current world map poster will be removed from our Zazzle shop sometime this Friday. Next week its replacement will be available, featuring the updates done to it for Historia Rodentia and Warclaw.
In the mean time, here is the new map:
OTLG will also shut down on Friday for the holiday weekend, I intend to not check my e-mail/forums on Saturday and Sunday and actually have a holiday... but we'll see how well that will work out

Thanks! It's been forwarded to the wife for an after-the-event Christmas present idea. I really want to see how this guy scales against my own sculpts!

That giant kiwi is going to be popular over here in New Zealand (home of the real kiwi, in case you didn't know) - just a shame they don't come in a variety of poses, as a whole kiwi cavalry army would be a hoot.
