Free Dark Elf Prince

Any order of £25 or more placed via our webstore this October will receive a FREE model of Knyaz Rezkoye, a renegade Dark Elf prince, kept alive by the necromantic power of his blood sucking sword!

Char d'Escargot!

No, we don't know where the summer went but we promise we have been working hard on the last parts of the Kickstarter and today we can present to you the much anticipated Gnome Char d'Escargot!

This mighty beast is the ideal vehicle for the Gnome General concerned about Dwarf Panzerbärs invading the wheat fields and mushroom forest of their beloved Dûn-Nomin!

This has been a tricky model to sculpt but Herb has done a great job and Rob is currently printing it off for moulding.

The model is bigger than we anticipated when running the Kickstarter and will be sold individually going forward, however if you pledged for some snail tanks in the KS, we will be honouring the two in a pack offer. The Char d'Escargot comes with both mounted and dismounted crew figures as shown and options of short and long eye-stalks!

I appreciate this Kickstarter has been a long haul, but we are on the downward slope now and Ron and I both thank you for your patience...

Free Dwarf Valkyrie!

Any order of £25 or more placed via our webstore this September will receive a FREE model of Isla Antonsdottir, commander of the legendary Dwarf Walküre Brigade!

Free Dwarf Pilot!

Any order of £25 or more placed via out funky new webstore this August will receive a FREE model of Erich von Stalhelm, the legendary Dwarf Luftbest pilot and arch enemy of Orc wyvern ace Bogglez-wûrf!

Gnomes back in production

Gnome generals will be pleased to know that the Gnome Voltigeur Command set, Gnome Voltigeur Support set and Gnome Chasseurs Gasterportes (snail cavalry) section are all back in production. Allez les Gnomes!

Fusiliers Marins du Gnome

The duck continues to paddle under the water and today here are the latest unit to be sculpted - Les Fusiliers Marins (aka Gnome Naval Infantry). These will add a splash of colour and esprit d'corp to any Gnome army...

I think you'll agree they are another great looking unit that will look super on the tabletop. 

Darko is now working on the character figures from the Field Marshall pledges so hopefully we will have something to show here very soon.

Regarding the rulebooks Steve is still writing (and writing and writing...), it is mainly the background material now, but it has taken on a life of its own and become something of a beast. More on this asap.

Spitfyre PDF Rulebook Issued...

The PDF edition of our new game Spitfyre: Eagles over Branz-Hûm is now available to buy at Wargames Vault...

Pilot Pledges Shipping!

The rulebook has gone to print and we will be starting shipping the first Pilot pledges later this week!

This means we will be closing the Pledge Manager on Wednesday, so if you haven't got around to completing it you need to hurry up!

The PDF version of the rulebook will be sent to Erk pledgers and above later in the week.

Von Stalheim

The rulebook is now 95% finished. Dave and Matthew gave their feedback, Steve tweaked the document and this week DTP'd it for publication. The only thing left now for the rulebook is to include the photos and Rob has now sent Steve a pile of models to make up, paint and photograph!

86% of pledges have now been completed via the Pledge Manager which is great. Just a gentle reminder at this stage to the remaining 14% not to forget to complete it.

Finally, Darko has sculpted a 28mm scale model of Dwarf Luftbest pilot von Stalheim - the legendary foe of Orc wyvern ace Bogglez. 

Whilst he has no real gaming value in Spitfyre, he is a lovely model and will be released when we launch the game after the Kickstarter fulfilment which is getting nearer by the day!

Marszałek-Trogi Swaróg

Herb has finished sculpting Troglodyte Warlord Marszałek-Trogi Swaróg and we think you'll agree he looks like he'll give those invading Dwarves something to think about as he leads the brave Troglodyte army in the defence of its homeland.

Next up, exciting news for Gnome generals. Herb has started work on the much anticipated Gnome snail tank and Darko is close to finishing the Gnome Fusiliers Marins, naval troops who stand alongside the Voltigeurs against the might Dwarven war machine rampaging across the mushroom fields of Dûn-Nomin. Hopefully not too long until we can show you these.

Gnome Crown Prince Kaliko

A little update today in the form of Gnome Crown Prince Kaliko of the Principality of Dûn-Nomin and leader of the Grand Quartier Chef de la Guerre at the time of the Dwarvish invasion.

A lovely sculpt by Darko and one that will inspire all Gnomish forces on the tabletop in their efforts to resist the Dwarven aggressors!

Herb is currently putting the finishing touches to the Troglodyte warlord Marszałek-Trogi Swaróg , so keep your eyes peeled for an update on him soon...

Kret Bitwa 3TK War Mole

A treat for Troglodyte generals today, the Kret Bitwa 3TK War Mole!

The War Mole is a really cool addition to the Trog army and its ability to tunnel under enemy lines and burst out amongst its enemies gives them a big tactical edge in battle.

This impressive model has taken Herb some time to finish, sometimes translating a piece of concept art into a 3D model is not as straight forward as it might seem, but I think you'll agree he has done a lovely job here.

The model itself is a bit larger than we originally anticipated so we will probably end up selling them individually for around £18 to £25, but if you selected them in the pledge manager you will get your two for £22 as promised.

Next up for Herb will be the Gnome snail tank, this is proving to be a little problematical taking it from concept to model but we will get there. Darko is also working on something for the Gnomes.

Steve is still working on the Skirmish rules and hopes to put these to bed by the end of February.

Pledge Manager Live

The Pledge Manager is live now, on CROWDOX.

Please make sure to check your emails, you will have received an email from them asking for you to fill the Pledge Manager in! Make sure to check your Junk Emails too!

If you have accidentally deleted the email, I can send you another invite very quickly, just with the click of a button. 

Also worth noting that the Pledge Manager will close towards the end of February. Yes, we know that we said we would ship by the end of January, but we faaaar exceeded all expectations so we are now busting ourselves to try and get it to start shipping in March (for the Core set) and July/August for the Expansion set. 

There's a few points I have to make: 

1) We are aware that there is an issue with Erk pledgers being charged postage when they are just wanting a PDF. We will get this resolved as soon as we can! Basically, we need it to charge postage if you order any physical add-ons.

2) Ace Pledgers paid for postage through Kickstarter, so will not be charged Postage in the Pledge Manager, unless they opt for Split Shipments. 

3) You can opt for Split Shipments! This is an add-on you can select. You pay for this, in addition to the standard postage charge, to receive your Wave 1 (the Core set and/or associated add-ons) before your Wave 2 (Expansion set and/or associated add-ons).

4) We unlocked the Dwarf Storch straight away! It's added to the Bats over Torg-Baraz expansion for free, but you can also buy it as an add-on. 

5) We are offering both full flights and 'reinforcement packs' as add-ons. You can select an add-on pack to turn your free airbeasts into full flights. 

If you do have any issues with the functionality of the Pledge Manager, please feel free to contact the folks at CrowdOx, you can also contact us at hystericalgamesorders@gmail.com, but it's actually more likely CrowdOx will be able to advise you! 

If you want to know something about the game world, miniatures, the actual product, etc - contact us on hystericalgamesorders@gmail.com and we'll get back to you as soon as we can! Just be advised we're a small team and it can sometimes take up to a week to respond to an email (sorry!). 

Production Progress

We're progressing very well, we have now made enough of the Kampfgeier to fulfil the Kickstarter with no extra add ons, we have 3D sculpted, 3D printed and started casting every single model for the Core Box and associated add-ons/freebies. Other models are progressing well with production too, namely the Hurrikane and the War-Eagle. Our sculptor, Darko, is back to work on the last few units for our Panzerfäuste Kickstarter (with the help of Heriberto Valle Martinez, of Märchen Studio in Mexico, who is also tackling some of the last units). We expect he'll get back to sculpting the last Spitfyre models fairly soon though. 

Once we have some of the castings assembled, we will get them photographed and upload some pictures (honestly, Steve is waiting for Rob to send him some from the Workshop!). 

Dwarf Sturmtruppen

First off can we wish you a Happy New Year!

Secondly thanks for your patience. We are like ducks below the waterline paddling away, please have trust in us, we're almost at the finish line!

The Dwarf Sturmtruppen have now been sculpted and with Rob for printing. This has taken a little longer than more straight forward sculpts with poor Darko having to try and sculpt the vision of these Steve had in his head! We think he's done an amazing job!

The Sturmtruppen are a unit inspired by both the Great War Stosstruppen and high fantasy Dwarves and we have tried to reach some balance in the concept of that in the designs.

Hope you like these, we should have something else to show off to you in the next week from Herb that will please all the Trog fans...

Keep 'fäustin...
