Warlord Games - Achtung Panzer - Blood & Steel Rulebook
Warlord Games - Achtung Panzer - Blood & Steel Rulebook
OUR PRICE: $75.00

Warlord Games - Achtung Panzer - Blood & Steel Rulebook
The Second World War saw the rise of armoured fighting vehicles, in particular the tank, from experimental designs based on unfounded theories to fully developed war machines capable of incredible destruction. Wherever nations clashed, tanks could be found, often having a pivotal impact on the outcome of battles and campaigns.

Achtung Panzer! puts YOU in command of a tank platoon and thrusts you into the heart of the action on the battlefields of World War Two. Take charge, and lead your armoured forces to glory!

In addition to a full breakdown of the nuts and bolts of Achtung Panzer!, the 108-page, full colour rulebook explains how to recruit your crew, select your platoon of tanks, assault guns or armoured cars, and introduces a campaign system that allows your crew to progress after each encounter and your tanks to be upgraded to be more effective in the next battle. Extensive tank profiles allow you to field hugely varied forces of some of the most famous armoured fighting vehicles of the Second World War, while photocopiable stat cards mean you can get your existing collections into action right away! With Britain, Germany, the USA, and the Soviet Union covered in this core rulebook, additional nations, theatres of operations and tanks will be introduced in future expansions.

The player who best exploits the strengths of their tanks and crews, plans their movement carefully, and uses battlefield terrain to their advantage will prevail – will your tactical acumen and the fighting spirit of your tank crews carry the day?

Inside the Achtung Panzer! rulebook you'll find:
How to create your platoon and recruit your crews
How to prepare your platoon for battle
The ammunition options available to your tanks
The effects of the terrain on your games
Events cards that add unforeseen incidents to games
Tank Aces - how to field the legendary commanders of WWII or generate your own!
Stats for British, German, Soviet and US tanks set during 1944-45.
Six action-packed Missions
A campaign system where crews and tanks can advance in skill and power

Talking Miniatures - Standard Edition
Talking Miniatures - Standard Edition
OUR PRICE: $120.00

Talking Miniatures - Standard Edition by Robin Dews and John Stallard
Talking Miniatures is an exciting new book about the early years of Games Workshop and Citadel Miniatures. Written and compiled by former White Dwarf Editor and Design Studio Manager – Robin Dews, and ex-Citadel/GW Sales Director, now Head of Warlord Games - John Stallard, the book consists of a series of lavishly illustrated conversations with some of the eclectic cast of designers, sculptors, artists, rebels and similar non-conformists who in the early 1980s gravitated towards Bryan Ansell and the early Citadel Miniatures team.

More a collection of conversations than a series of interviews, Talking Miniatures, allows the participants to tell us in their own words, exactly what it was like in those very early years. How did that first edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle come to be written? Who was behind the incredible look and feel of the original Warhammer 40,000 – Rogue Trader? How did the iconic shape of the original RTB01 Space Marines develop, and how did Mike McVey create and then master the mid- 90s GW painting style? All these questions, and hundreds more, are answered in this book in the words, memories and recollections of the people who were actually there and doing these things!

In addition to these incredible stories, the book is lavishly illustrated with photographs and images taken from the hundreds of the books, games, magazines and miniatures that Games Workshop has produced over the years. In addition, we have had privileged and unprecedented access to the personal collections of all the participants and present many of these artifacts and miniatures for the very first time.

For anyone who has lifted their paintbrush, miniature in hand or rolled a fistful of dice across a tabletop battlefield, Talking Miniatures is an essential read. Even if you are not currently a hobbyist, Talking Miniatures will take you on a thrilling and insightful ride into that magical point where creativity and commerce coincide.

Contents:
A 492-page softback book split into two volumes with a hardback slipcase.
