    Serious chin strokage about these

    http://www.crocodilegames.com/new_releases.asp Bout mid-way. The Wendigo to be precise... of Hyperborea... Did a double take a few times I can tell you. Is this like, a Conan thing (semi-prays it is, as it would lead to Conan game) or is it just name borrowing?

    Games workshop

    The retail store system has worked for years - Its part of the reason why Mongoose wont be as big as GW, or even comparable, for at least a decade. The Infantry system is a state in the UK it really is and it makes me sad - I wont make comments about the sky marshall theiving my hard work and...

    Games workshop

    Im happy to stick with warhammer fantasy, but I ditched 40k years ago. They screwed with the background too much - there still doing it now infact but hey if thats how they get there kicks. Ill keep playing fantasy over SST because everything in fantasy is going to end up in plastic. From what...

    You had to say the words didnt you... My friend once dared me to prove my guinness drinking ability. 8 pints later I was grinning and he was non too impressed. 'Bet you cant down it' he says. I remember at least five but I've been told I downed bout another 8. I then proceeded to repeat the...

    SST box contents, price, and cover art - opinions?

    Not really when you think about it. ACTA is clearly popular even though its all metal so not as cheap as a plastics game. MA is also a little venture although it seems to have the time delay syndrome of SST. And then in turn theres GMC1. I'm guessing they are now regretting the announcement...

    SST box contents, price, and cover art - opinions?

    The thing is though with the box pushers is people dont go to them for advice about armies and such. I've be wargaming long enough to know the products inside out, and if something comes out and I dont know about it a quick trip to a forum like this usually gives me an answer. The retailers...

    SST box contents, price, and cover art - opinions?

    Thats personally speaking though, and your 600+ postings means you are more aware of the situtation then many other distributors. Have you had any cancellation of orders? As has been pointed out on the MI boards, when you go to a demo game the situation happens... "Mongoose are doing Starship...

    SST box contents, price, and cover art - opinions?

    But its not a rough release schedule as such, its a non existant one. Come on Matt Mongoose arent distributors, its on the site that you'd rather people bought from retailers. But if people are buying from retailers on pre order, and then having to wait for it to possbily come within the next...

    SST box contents, price, and cover art - opinions?

    Thats fair enough Matt, but remember I wouldnt be saying it unless I felt it needed to be said. You have to admit though sales will be down because of inconsistancy in release dates. I'm glad you have such confidence in the product and yourselves. But its still gambling big time. Minitures is a...

    SST box contents, price, and cover art - opinions?

    Ive been gaming since those sets didnt exist. They started off £10 for ten marines - half the cost of the metal. Over the years it went up by 50%. Its people buying on impulse masses of box sets that basically handed it too workshop on a platter (notice ogre gnoblars are £18 a box? they work...

    SST box contents, price, and cover art - opinions?

    The contents of the box are now up, along with some pretty poor box art (i cant draw for toffee, but it does look far too cartoony) The box contains: 16 MI 20 Bugs a card bunker rulebook (100 pages) card counters (for various things) Price tag? £50 I dont know about you but im disappointed...

    Official Conan Miniatures

    I'm sure hes of anothe race, very sure. I'll dig around and have a look - There have to be something different about Conan to make him do all the things hes done, blood lines seem to be the answer

    How to look at the film

    You know its better if you join the boards, means people can identify you as a person rather then mr guest (theres hundreds of people called guest really) If not, you can change the name to be something else without joining. i did for awhile
