Our blogger, Richard C's, first blog is about introducing people to RPGs and how to lead them on the first few steps from timid newbie to sword-wielding Hero.

Dec 15 DYSTOPIAN WARS: ICE MAIDEN SUPER CARRIER

Wayland Games

Warcradle Studios, News

"Some question the sanity of mounting a giant galvanic projector on an iron hulled warship. Those who would dare to doubt are shortsighted, blinkered idioten! Faith and intellect are qualities we have in abundance and they have seen our works take to the seas with only minor collateral loss. Still, to waylay any lingering fears, ice has proven not only more stable as a firing platform but less prone to mishap also."
Knight Luminary Karolina Sanders, Teutonic Order.

There are a lot of images of re-painted miniatures out there but we've collated a few to help you get inspired to customise your own.
