Hi, here's a lot of wargame news! Starting with the release of the awesome Avatars of War Dwarf Berserkers! These multipose plastic Dwarf set will enable you to build up to 17 troopers and 3 command figures. As most of the plastic kits avaible , this kit is also tooled and produced by Renedra!

The second new item is the game called "Bushido" which is a skirmish game set in Japan during the Samurai era but with a fantasy touch in the form of demons and magic! This new game is created by inventive team of GCT Studios. The first releases of the game will exist out of four factions each with their own number of faction members, strengths and weaknesses. Each of these starterkits will contain dices and the free quick rules for the game along with the stat cards for your faction members. These factions cost £27.95 and contain five to seven pewter extremly detailled miniatures! These miniatures are also directly available at Wayland Games.

The most exciting news for me is the release of the free science fiction rules at Mantic Games! Finally there will be another large wargame company with their own range of miniatures, backgrounds and rulesets! I'm really looking forward to see the miniatures for these ruleset! These free beta rules are downloadable from the Mantic Games website.

At last there are the Bengali and Mysorean command and sepoy figures from Golconda Rising! This awesome private range is now available from Eureka miniatures, they aren't mentionned on the online shop so sending them an email is probably the best option if you want to buy these figures!
