Manorhouse Workshop: Plastic Dungeon Kickstarter - Wargame Dungeon Terrain Comparison


Manorhouse Workshop: Third Comparison of accessories and miniatures. I think there is no better theme of prisons to pose a dungeon. We used a little of everything for accessories. Miniature Fenryll, D&D, Reaper-bones. The result is amazing. Con la collaborazione di Francesco “Endar” Bellina – Dungeons 3D

Every self-respecting prison has various environments: Sacrario of the Gods, private rooms of the priests, the torture room, arms room. cells, Santa Sanctorum. This display recreates atmospheres fantastic. The brick walls make room perfect and welcome every single object in the best way, creating views of rare beauty.












Northstar Miniatures: Fantasy Frostgrave Crowdfunder Ended - Free Templar Model


Nick at Northstar Miniatures has just done the following generous gift to the level 3 and more pledgers of the Frostgrave crowdfunder: We came so close to getting to the £40K spend goal. That would have released a free model of a new Templar. I've decided, because we got so close, I'm going to send a free Templar model to every Level 3+ Wizard after all! What we'll do is include a free Crusader Miniatures model of a Knight with a two handed weapon. The model Giorgio is making of the Templar for Frostgrave will be finished, and made available later on.

Manorhouse Workshop: Plastic Dungeon Kickstarter - Dungeon and Dragons Miniatures Scale Comparison


Manorhouse Workshop: Second update dedicated to the comparison of the miniatures and accessories VS our dungeon. Today we have a classic role-playing game: D&D. So nothing more typical of a sewer “MUP” to best present this fantastic game.

In the sewers you can find a bit of everything … maybe too much. The miniatures are prepainted classic of D&D. Accessories instead are various brands. Looking at the pictures makes you want to pull some dices and some spells. Even this display it is assembled with 2 boxes. The result is truly impressive. A master can fully express his imagination helped by a thousand details. The compositions that can be obtained are many. a more interesting than the other.

Pedion Terrain: Pre-Painted Modular Terrain Kickstarter Ending - Industrial and Red Planet Science Fiction Tiles Unlocked!

Pedion Terrain: Create your own Battlefield! A fully modular, lightweight Terrain system with realistic prepainted features for 15-28mm Wargames & RPGs. 

It is quite a thing to see your Campaign's counter reaching the "hour" format. You know that a journey is almost over, and you start planing what really matters: the implementation of your dream. "Almost" being the keyword here; a bit less than 2 whole days can be a long enough time for good, innovative things to happen!

The clock is ticking. Pedion will be around, but this is your chance to get terrain in great prices and help us design even better stuff: spread the word about Pedion and get more people involved! Why now? Because Pedion has gotten better than ever: SciFi themed ground variations have been unlocked, Urban tiles and free stuff are just a breath away, and a new, "get'em all" pledge reward level is available! 

How about some Science Fiction Battlefields?

By surpassing the £25000 Stretch Goal, backers may order their Set and Add-on tiles in two new variations, suitable to a more futuristic/apocalyptic setting: the "Red Planet" and the "Grey Wastes". The new paint/texture variations can be applied to all existing tile types, and they Unlock two new tiles: the Impact Crater and the Artillery Craters types. The impact Crater tile includes one big crater, with the smooth style of craters cause by large asteroid impacts. The artillery craters are smaller, with the jagged edges of exploding ground. The Craters are an add-on, or you can Upgrade your Plain/Broken Ground tiles into them! You can even "fill" them with some liquid, like water or lava... 

The Grey Wastes, Artillery craters tile
The Red Planet, Impact crater tile

Finally, another "upgrade" option unlocked for SciFi battlegrounds is the exchange of "normal" water on River and Pond Tiles, to Lava or Green toxic flows!

The Ion Age: Full Sized Planetary Militia Photos Published


The Ion Age: Thank to everyone who has downloaded the free four page PDF on using our Planetary Militia miniatures in the Patrol Angis rules system. 

I have had a fair number of emails and pings from IonFans over the weekend thanking me for taking the time to not only make up this PDF but to give it away free. I am happy to have done so. But one other common thread came up in these comments and that was a desire to see the images from the PDF in full. These images were taken during our own internal playtesting of the rules and stats in the PDF (also in the forthcoming Shia Khan free material) and depict a rolling conflict. I thought sure why not and this posting is the result. I present to you in order from one to eight the images each with a short caption. Please note this is not an After Action Report (AAR) and the images were taken almost all during one turn. Check more pictures and the free files for Patrol Angis here.

Have you spent a few minutes watching our videos? Good; then you know what we are talking about: Unique, expertly hand-painted miniature terrain with separate floors playable on all levels! Life-like details fully assembled in resin, ready to use straight out of the box!


Each floor in all of our models is made for playing. They are made for the 25-28 mm range, grids allowing the full use of any gaming system out there.

Who haven’t fought a brawl in a tavern, fought their way through or defending a city gate, run along city walls, fought their way up a tower, or maybe climbed on the outside?
