" Who are ye, then, ye armed men, mail folk, that yon mighty vessel have urged thus over the ocean ways, here o'er the waters?" So the question was asked of Beowulf and his followers when they splashed ashore in the land of Scyldings. The poem Beowulf is one of the great - indeed, one of the few - surviving epics of Anglo-Saxon literature and tells the story of Beowulf, a Geat noble, who sails with his retinue of companions (thegn) to the land of the Scyldings (Danes), and the mead hall of King Hrothgar. Here he battles and defeats Grendel, a fen monster, who has been terrorising Hrothgar and his followers for years. Having disposed of one supernatural foe, Beowulf is then obliged to face another, Grendel's bereaved mother, in deadly combat. He wins - just - and returns to his homeland a hero, eventually to be crowned King of the Geats. Later in life Beowulf takes up his sword again, this time to protect his own people from a fire-breathing dragon. He slays the drago...

After what seems like an age since Kev sculpted them, we have the first batches of resin castings of these two gorgeously sculpted 40mm scale females in stock. First up is HF4007 Tammi . Named by Caerban on the FOD (who wins a free copy of her), she is a post-apocalyptic loner who likes to pick off zombies with her long-shooter. Cheekily she sticks her tongue out at those who say a girlie can't handle a gun like that! She is cleanly cast in blue-grey resin and supplied unassembled with a 40mm round base. Next up, we have HF4005 Siouxsie . This high-kicking Cyber Assassin was supposed to be cast in the same HF blue-grey resin as Tammi. However, we ran into a few casting issues with this little lady, and ended up casting her in a black resin as the pole needed to be reinforced slightly (we added some iron powder to give it extra strength). This means, though, that she is only going to be available in the batch of 50 black resin as a limited run. Her next casting incarnation will...

Sinds begin augustus dit jaar gaan er geruchten over het internet dat er op 14 oktober 2008 een massale UFO waarneming zal plaatsvinden die gezien en gefilmd zal worden door miljoenen mensen. Blossom Goodchild, een Australische actrice en schrijfster heeft de hele UFO wereld op z’n kop gezet met gechannelde informatie over de verschijning van een gigantisch buitenaards ruimteschip die drie dagen lang in de lucht te zien zal zijn. Zij noemen zich ‘de Federatie van Licht’, komen uit een andere wereld en zullen op deze manier de aardse bevolking laten zien dat er leven elders in het universum is. Daarbij geven zij de media de gelegenheid hier uitgebreid verslag van te doen en op die manier sceptici en debunkers het zwijgen doen opleggen. Gesuggereerd wordt dat dit boven Alabama in Amerika gaat afspelen, maar is niet met zekerheid te zeggen. Blossom is niet de enige die met deze voorspelling, of liever gezegd aankondiging, komt. Ook door andere personen (mediums) wordt dit bevestigd en kom...

The rulebook will be due out in mid '09, but you can get your hands on some zombies now! Each model is between 45 and 50mm tall! These models will be web-sales only, which is how we are able to keep the prices as low as they are in a time when many of our competitors are raising prices. Below, we have asked Mr. Jingles to stand beside a zombie for a size comparison - don't worry, the zombie refused to bite Mr. Jingles because he says the Dirty Clown tastes funny.
