Croc Tales 2
Crocodile Games recently released the second issue of their free PDF magazine, Croc Tales. This issue features their new range of titan miniatures. Personally I’m a fan of the Titan Overlord for all its retro Harryhausen goodness.

From Victoria Lamb’s Web site:
Labyrintus is a miniature game by Victoria Lamb. It combines the spectacle and craft of a miniature game with the fun and ease of play of a board game. A fast paced game for 2-4 players with a playing time of 30 to 60 minutes. Each player takes control of a team of 4 creatures and attempts to be the first to get through the Labyrinth. But beware, things may not always be what they seem, your progress can be thwarted by other creatures, the shifting Labyrinth and even your own tactical choices.Labyrintus is a miniature game by Victoria Lamb.

A recent post over at Tabletop Gaming News reminded me of this project. After some browsing I was elated to learn that the miniatures for the game are already available from Eureka. I’ll be picking up Billy Bagshot, the twiglets, and the fairies soon.

Over the coming months I’ll be working on a new section to the site devoted exclusively to Rackham miniatures, the Aarklash Archive in the Athenæum. I’m currently building the Factions department, which, when finished, will be a complete catalog of every miniature (including WIPs and back stories for some) Rackham created from their inception until the end of the metal line circa late 2007.
I’ve got a bunch of comparison photos to share as well. Expect to see them soon.
