Clickers Faction Painted!

West Wind has just released photographs of the Requiem Clickers faction painted by Ruben.

 To be perfectly honest I had no idea what to expect with this faction so I didn't buy into them. They have turned out to be cooler than I had ever expected them to be! I'm rather distraught that these lovelys are not on their way to my home with the rest of my pledge.

Requiem 23+5 E/B Special II Backers

"TO:  REQUIEM 23+5 E/B Special II Backers

Please be advised that fulfilment will commence tomorrow and will continue until the early part of next week for the above pledge level.   So please work on your order being despatch by Tuesday next at the latest and count the transit time from Tuesday onwards"

I've received this email from Andy Cooper at West Wind, that's me! I can hardly wait for my kickstarter minis to arrive!

Bases4war.com Review

 While I was in the hospital Lunatic R. was on the hunt for quality cobblestone bases he found them from this new little English company called bases4war. This is a new company producing some surprisingly quality bases for a very reasonable prices. He purchased 5 sets of bases for $28 US including shipping, that's 32 resign bases for $28 dollars! These are not base toppers but in fact complete bases lip included. The casts are clean with no flash and little to no bubbles unlike a much more established company I could name. Here are some pictures of the bases:

You can buy cobble stone bases in 30mm, 40mm and 50mm. There are  few bases will a cobble stone or two missing but that's it for variety.

Fortunately Lunatic R. as purchased 3 random assortments of Rivenstone bases as this company calls them. This is a fanciful range of flagstone bases designed with Malifux and Warmachine in mind.

While this are not cobblestone nor strictly speaking Victorian, I can imagine basing vampires, and sewer spawned horrors on these. These bases have wide variety of styles and are available in 30mm, 40mm, 50mm and 120mm.

These are only 2 of the 8 styles of bases this company makes so give their shop a look you might find something you like. 

Requiem is shipping!!!

Yes ladies and gentlemen EotD kickstarter Requiem is now being packed and shipped!!! Commence jumping for joy... now!

Zombie A

This Zombie whom I will call zombie A is from West Winds EotD zombie box set. He was my test zombie for the zombie like skin tone. My camera is dying a slow death so its showing the skin greener than it really is. It's more of a jaundice skin color. I finished him before the stroke and I quickly photographed him this evening. I hope you like him he has 9 more companions in the box.
