North Star – Frostgrave Cultists II review The temperature in Felstad may be rather chilly, but the North Star figure forges are still running at high temperature. We take a look at their Cultists II plastic set. The North Star plastic production juggernaut rolls on and this time it’s pumping out new Frostgrave Cultists. Anyone familiar with the numbering of...

Sarissa Precision – World War Europe 15mm review We review a range of new 15mm MDF from Sarissa and James constructs a ruined townhouse. 15mm is a scale that is extremely well suited to mixing the practicalities of gaming with the dramatic sweep of a terrain-heavy board. The only real downside is that at the dinkier scale, it can be...

The Ruckus extras will arrive in future issues...

Editor Dan and the Perry brothers packed their bags (and sculpting tools) and jetted off to see an award-winning wargaming and cultural collaboration. The town of Gradara in North Eastern Italy has picture-book Italian charm, with winding cobbled streets that ascend to a large medieval castle. Perched on a hillside above the town, the castle looks out towards the seaside...

Fenris Games – Assorted Animals review While traversing the traders at this May’s Partizan, we bumped into Fenris Games’ co-owner – Ian Brumby – and left with an armful of animalistic miniatures to review.
