The Disinterred Reich

As it's nearly Hallowe'en, and many of us here in the Warlord Games office are really just big kids (read: pathologically immature), we've combined our plastic Bolt Action German Infantry with Mantic Games' new zombies to create... well... Nazi Zombies. And we thought others might like to do the same. This set provides you with three Mantic zombie sprues, two Warlord Games German infantry sprues, and a Warlord Games German weapon sprue. Coming from different manufacturers, you'll need to use your brains, braaaaiiiinnnss, delicious, juicy, brains to make sure they go together. As you can see from the pictures, the results are, in the boss's words, horrifying. You can choose to add a copy of Osprey Publishing's Hunters Guide To Zombies for an extra £10.00 GBP, which contains everything you ever needed to know (and some things that are clearly made up) on the subject of the walking dead. This set will only be available until the end of the month, so get a lurch

Bogbrush the Barbarian

Afbeelding
Howard Whitehouse (AKA Mexican Jack Squint ) presents his latest addition to the corpus of Great Literature of the World. It's aimed at 8-12-year-olds, so most of you will probably like it. Bogbrush the Barbarian is a hugely silly fantasy romp about a muscle-bound barbarian hero so stupid that all the other barbarians notice. It's a lot of fun, with a fake "educational" aspect where I throw in ludicrous quizzes, "Did You Know?" bits, and life advice that any halfway-bright ten-year-old will immediately disregard. Here's what the official blurb says: Bogbrush, the grandson of the fabled Bumrash, is a mighty warrior from the frozen north. He is a giant of a lad, with rippling muscles and a powerful sword-arm. He wears chain-mail underwear and a helmet with really big horns. Unfortunately, he's also very stupid. Mistaking-the-family-cow-for-a-monster kind of stupid. With his new-found friends, Sneaky and Diptheria, by his side, Bogbrush is determined to

Conquistadores of the New World

The Assault Group is delighted to say that today I've been able to add the first of our cavalry miniatures for the 16th Century range we are currently working on. These are the mounted Conquistadors for the New World. Three new packs have been added to our shopping cart - two armed with separate lances, and the other with integral swords. One in three of the warriors is depicted with integral shields. The mounts for these new minis are sculpted with tassels and trimmings on their horse tack. The full details are as follows; REN338 Mounted Spanish/Conquistadors with lance down REN339 Mounted Spanish/Conquistadors with swords REN340 Mounted Spanish/Conquistadors with lance upright HOR088 Conquistador horse 1 HOR089 Conquistador horse 2 HOR090 Conquistador horse 3 For those of you that like a little 'bulk discount' at the expense of choice, I've also added a Cavalry Unit Builder for these miniatures. Twelve mounted miniatures for £33.00 GBP represents a saving of about £5
