Khurasan Miniatures, Kilo Outpost

Here is something really different from Khurasan Miniatures called the Kilo Outpost.  It was designed by John Bear Ross.  I guess Jon is getting into the terrain business.  Pretty slick.

Kilo Outpost will retail for $39.99 USD It was designed by the great John Bear Ross and this was painted by Martin of "Fire Broadside." It looks like Martin did not glue the pieces together -- they interlock and even when not glued you can see that they fit together fairly well.

The Control Battalion figure is mounted on a large plastic base, but figures mounted on coins will look lower in relation to the walls and when standing on the ramparts.

Khurasan Miniatures, XM-6 Grav Tanks

Here are some concepts of the the new XM-6 Grav Tanks by Khurasan Miniatures. The price is going to depend on what the parts cost, of course, but they will most likely be entirely made out of resin, so the price could be similar to the Siler.

ACP Games, Artwork

Here is some really sweet artwork for upcoming races in the ACP Games universe.

ACP Games, Millenniumcon

Just got back from Millenniumcon in Round Rock Texas. It isn't the largest convention, but it's a lot of fun. Had a great time talking with Jimbo from ACP Games. He had a sweet setup showcasing his miniatures, a great staff helping and a really nice demo table.

Got a chance to try out the Valkyrie (Beta 2) ruleset and I must say, it might be one of the best 15mm rules sets out there.  The only downside to the rules (Unless I am wrong) is that they are only written for the ACP Games miniature line. Meaning it doesn't have the ability to create your own units.  Still you can easily use proxies with the currently army lists and have a brilliant game.

What really stood out was how the assault rules worked, objectives, cover and the use of command points.  We weren't using all the rules since it was a demo, but for a convention, it was perfect.  The rule set gives the player tons of options on what to do.  The command points really spice up the game and make the game feel much more interactive.  The command points in the demo allowed you to call in artillery strikes, bring in reinforcements, rally troops and bump up your  initiative rolls.  In the demo the way to gain command points was by controlling any one of 3 objective markers.  Each objective was worth 5 command points.  Command points are used after each round.  I used them mostly to call in artillery strikes (3 command points) on targets I wanted to assault.

If a unit takes a casualty during an artillery strike, they are considered suppressed.  A suppressed unit is a much easier to assault.  In the game I did find that you don't want to tangle with Valkyries in CC.  Even when suppressed, they can sometimes (actually did) kick butt.

The game also allows for pre and post measurement, so you always know your enemies range bands.

Some of the new AA Valkyries and Tanks.

Makat Army including Eldars, Hunters, Jaguars, Bombard Missle, Scouts.  To the right there are a bunch of walkers.

Federalists (They have a grove in their helmets)

Nationalists

Here is a life sized pre-production Federalist helmet Jimbo is currently working on.  Pretty sweet.

Awesome demo/gaming table.  He actually had it up for sale.

Mercs Minis, Keizai Waza

Mercs Minis has some new figures out called the Keizai Waza.  I really like the look of the Mercs Minis.  Great looking figures.

GameCraft Miniatures, 15mm Terrain

GameCraft Miniatures has some nice looking laser cut terrain for 15mm.  The prices are extremely reasonable at $6-7.  They have a great selection to choose from.

Khurasan Miniatures, Droid

Here is a picture of upcoming  Khurasan Miniatures enforcer droids.  Not sure when these will be available.

Darwin-Games, Rise of the Occulites

Here are some figure comparisons from Darwin Games Rise of the Occulites.  All the big tribe figures are quite heavy (not a bad thing) and are cast up really well.  There is a great amount of detail on the figures and they simply look amazing.  They will of course work well in both 28mm or 15mm settings.

Floris Leader, Palaudis Leader, Hydris Leader (30mm bases)

 These are the biggest miniatures base wise (40mm Bases)

  Floris, Hydris, and Palaudis tribe (Floris are the biggest and Palaudis are the smallest)

Ignis with 2 figures from Splinter Light Miniatures who will also be selling them.

Darwin-Games, Rise of the Occulites, Ignis Tribe

Here is the latest tribe for Darwin-Games Rise of the Occulites called the Ignis Tribe.  The figures have been moved up in the release schedule and will be available at the same time as the Nimbus.  A very welcomed late October release. 

These figures are just so fun, everyone should get at least one tribe.




The Ignis tribes are found living on or close to lava flats – sometimes even within the vicinity of volcanic activity. They use this terrain to separate themselves from other tribes, preferring to keep to themselves. Any incursions into their lands though are dealt with swiftly and harshly. Ignis tribes are covered in a thick, leathery skin, that takes on the appearance of molten rock. Cracks in this surface act as natural vents, allowing the build up of pressure and heat taken in from their surroundings, to be released. As such, these areas glow boldly with reds, yellows and oranges, warning predators and enemies that this tribe is not to be trifled with.
