If your at Hammerhead this weekend (Kelham Hall, Near Newark), why not drop by the GCN stall. They will have demoes of our game, Relics. (.....and obviously, you will be able to see the minis in person, then a short walk over to the Wargames Emporium or Four A Miniatures stall to buy them!!)

I'm gutted, I always seem to be working weekends when Kellam Hall events are on. :(

A little while ago we decided to try and make the store a little more accessible to those that do not use the UK Pound.

New Currencies:

Now, you can change the displayed currency on the store to any of the following:

Great British Pound
US Dollar
Canadian Dollar
Australian Dollar
Euro

Prices with out VAT:

Also, if you have a delivery address outside the EU, you won't be interested in our VAT. As such, If you log into the store with an account that has a default address outside the EU, you will be presented with prices that DO NOT include the VAT!!! So, no more needing to work out how much you'll be paying. Just log in and the store does it for you!

We have just posted the beta version of the Morale rules for Relics on our site.

You can find them here

Why not let us know your thoughts on our forum.

You guys might want to consider thickening the legs on any future Brittanan minis.

The Troopers/Grenadiers legs are IMPOSSIBLE to pin, if you remove the slotta-tab. I've already busted the leg on 2 minis just inserting them into my painting/priming bases and applying a tiny amount of pressure.

They're great minis but this is a big weak point and I'd be concerned about putting them through the rigors of a gaming base. Luckily, I plan to have them mounted on an integral display base...

i just stumbled on this nice thread here...

the minis look really awsome, unhique is a too small word to use here...

what future plans do you have , what other minis will you invent for this gameline?

cheers, good luck with your company!

On future releases (well, srtarting wiht the Dragoons actually) we have a new, slim line, tab that when inserted into the base doesn't hold the model so high. This shoudl remove the need to remove the tab. For the Troopers and Grenadiers, this new tab will be added to the moulds when they are redone.

We will look at thickening the legs too, but we can only thicken them so much before the legs look wrong for the model....

We will look at what we can do though.

Hey Vik,

Thanks for the kind words.

Currently, in addition to the three factions that are on our store we have plans to take it to 5 factions, maybe 6. The 4th faction will be sadomasochistic dwarfs who use clockwork power for fighting machines and weapons after being held captive and forced to work in mines by the possible 6th faction. You can find a pic of the first models form that faction on our forum (need to be a member, members preview I araid: http://www.torgaming.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,397.0.html) . The 5th will be a rather fun goblin faction. They will be a little way off but as with everything we do, we will try and make them like nothing on our gaming tables at the moment.

hmmmm *makes a liking face^^* the new concepts of the clockwork dwarfs look really good...
and all the upcomming stuff sounds pretty tasty too^^

i have to really think about purchasing some of your minis...
by the way do you do paypal? its for me the easiest way to do business with foreign currencies...

keep up the great and artful work,

vik

Glad you like them. The clockwork Dwarves are going to be in resin as they are toooooo fat to go into metal

Yes, we accept paypal. the store will redirect you to the paypal site for payment.

cool...this makes planning much easier now...

We have made a few amendments to the QSR. These are mainly rewording of a few areas, moving the ordering of a few bits etc. Nothing major.

You can find the new version (1.1.0) on the Relics page of our site.

After the recent rubbish weather, VAT rise and the fact that we appear to be in a recession that is just downright pants for everyone, we have decided that enough is enough and it's about time for something nice.

So, starting in about a week’s time, and running for about two weeks we are having a VAT free sale!! 'What, how can we sell with out VAT???' you may be asking, well fear not, we're not dodging our tax commitments to HMRC, it's just a posh marketing way of saying we will be doing a 20% off sale for a couple of weeks.

The sale will cover the Relics range of models and will be on all items in that range.

Keep an eye out for the announcement with the start date; it's not that far away!

We are having a special 20% discount for one week only, effectively knocking the VAT off our prices!!

Starting on Sunday 27th Feb 2011 and ending Saturday the 5th March 2011 you can save 20% on the entire Relics range. Simply enter the following coupon code into the coupon field of the check and the cart will automatically knock 20% off your order:

coupon code: save20perc

This coupon is valid for order within the EU zone only.

We have released an updated version of the Vaettir QSR list for beta. In addition, we have also released the rules for 'Knock Down' lingering effects as it is needed for the Vaettir list. ;-)

You can find them on our forum:

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

As usual, we encourage feedback (whats the point in a beta if we're not looking for feedback.....)

Blog update - Metric, Zombies and Distributors…

http://www.torgaming.co.uk/rd/metric-zombies-and-distributors/

The next release for the Relics range, the Vaettir Varbres, are now available for pre-order. Release date 22nd April 2011

Like twisted tornadoes of relentless destruction the Varbres are a swirling mass of fury, their natural adeptness in cruelty and wickedness leaves them hungrily relishing the opportunity to administer death as a way of torturously punishing all the creatures that they hold responsible for the downfall of their race.
While the overload of raw magic clearly affected their physical appearance, corrupting them and infusing them with elemental properties, the irreparable damage that they suffered mentally is at first glance less apparent. All Varbres are undoubtedly insane and are constantly consumed by a passionate hatred for all living things.
They are unpredictable in battle and are able to flit in and out of danger as and where it is necessary, they adopt many different forms and are masters in concealment, their skills are finely honed to perfection and in a fitting tribute to the wind element that their powers are derived from they able to change their will in an instant.

Measuring in at 35mm tall from top of base to top of head, The Varbres will be available in packs of two and are priced at £5.90 inc UK VAT.

You can find pics HERE

Whilst they are available for pre-order on our online store now, they will also be available through our distributor http://www.kingsleydistribution.net/.

So, if you are a store that would like to stock the range, please contact Kingsley Distribution on the above url. If you have a local store near you that you want to stock the range, start annoying them to contact Kingsley Distribution. We’d rather you support you local store than buy direct if possible.

CLICK HERE to pre-order yours.

Keep an eye out, the full Relics rules will be available as an alpha release for testing in the next 2 weeks!

This will include lists for Britanan, Orcnar and Vaettir. Each list will contain 12 profiles.

There will be issues in there, that's the point of an alpha, so it's a good time to roll up you sleeves and get stuck in!!

New Vaettir spotted - http://tinyurl.com/3au554p

There are just 5 days until the alpha release of the Relics rules.

We have a nice, three part story (written by Daniel Fellows) to help us count down. Keep an eye out, it's coming.....

Now that we have released the rules in the 'alpha' state, we will be announcing our official demo program in the very near future.

We are at that time were we need the 'peoples' help to promote the game in person at shows/events, clubs, shops and by organising tournaments (maybe a little early for that but it's on the list anyway) etc.

None of this is done for free. As a reward for their efforts, those that join the ranks of the Kings own Demo Corp as a Demo Trooper have the chance to earn the much coveted 'Buttons' that all the Troopers of King Jorje hope to earn one day.

These can be exchanged for a whole host of 'goodies' including, but not restricted to, the full Relics range. There will also be 'Demo Corp limited editions' and all sorts of other cool 'stuff' that we (and you) can think of. Plus there will be a special Kings own Demo Corp section on the forum for you all to chat about the best ways to promote a game and what ever else you fancy. Plus it gives us a place to show you early concepts, sculpts and stuff before the rest of the world.

We are still working on the finer points (like getting the application form together....) but, for now, we would like you to think about joining and helping to spread the word of Relics to your local area.

If you are interested in joining the Kings own Demo Corp and becoming a Demo Trooper to help King Jorje realise his plan "to make the World Unglandan", in the first instance you can register your interest by emailing us (contact AT torgaming.co.uk) . We will then email you the application form when it is complete.

Please note that at this time, we are more interested in the UK and EU. We will accept applications form elsewhere, but this will be run using the EU system until we have partners outside of the EU to take over.

Here's forty buttons on the drum
for those who volunteer to come
To demo Relics all day long
Over the hills and far away

We have three new releases for May, with expected release date of 28th May):

Orcnar Beorn ~ 40mm tall - £7.00:

Vaettir Vstonin ~ 40mm tall £5.90 (temp pic on store - will be replaced soon....)

What better way to start your journey into Relics than to pick up a starter set.

Vaettir Starter Set - £19.00

This pack is great value and provides the players with:

3 Varriers ~ 28mm tall

4 Varbres ~ 32mm tall

1 Vstonin ~ 40mm tall

With the alpha rules now available for download, and the Kings Own Demo Corps program starting now, this is a perfect time to order some Relics miniatures and get yourself in on the action.

Our demo team ‘The Kings Own Royal Demo Corps’ is now open and accepting applications to become a ‘Demo Trooper’ for our Relics system.

To find out further details, check out the Demo Team page.

I recently did an interview for the 'Bell of Lost Souls' web site.

It seems the popularity of the Relics range continues to grow!!

Situated in Berlin, Battlefield Berlin has become the latest store to stock the Relics range.

They have already updated their webstore with the range and stock should be with them any day now.

So, if you’re in the region, why not pop in and see the range in person.

We now have a wiki system installed on the main site and will start to populate it with all sorts of Relics related content (and we have planned a lot of stuff....... Daniel is going to be a very busy person)

We have already posted the first piece which just so happens to be the main world history of Relicia that explains how Relicia ended up as it is now.

As we add more content, it will all be interlinked wiki style but we will also keep this thread updated with direct links to content too.

You can find it here

A few days later than expected (sorry about that) but some of the new releases for Relics are now available.

Unfortunately, the Vaettir Starter set has been put back by a couple of weeks due to issues with the Vaettir Varbres mould..... This will be rectified asap and should not take longer then 2 weeks (bloody better not....) Sorry. :-(

Ornar Beorn - £7.00



Vaettir Vstonin 1 - £5.90



Both these packs are available to order from our online store.

Until we can say that the Relics range is available through a good number of distributors outside the EU, we want make it as easy as possible for our non EU customers to get their Relics miniatures.

We felt our current shipping rates for orders outside the EU were too high to align with this desire to help you get your models:

Previous rates:

Order value up to £40: Shipping - £5.00

Order value up to £80: Shipping - £8.50

Order value up to £120: Shipping - £12

Order value 120.01+: Shipping Free

Therefore, we decided to have a fiddle with them!

Effectively immediately, we have restructured our shipping rates to the following subsidised amounts.

New rates:

Order value up to £30: Shipping - £4.00

Order value up to £60: Shipping - £6.00

Order value £60.01+: Shipping - Free

And don't forget, you don't pay VAT either, so that's a massive 20% of the prices on the web store!! The web store will adjust the prices automatically for you if you log in using an account with a non-EU shipping address.

Order placed. Got 1 of everything. Can't wait to give this a go!
