  1. Here are some of the finished Infinity-Engine figures for The Broken Tower free RPG day adventure. And Infinity-Engine's Morokanth and Durulz.
  2. Here are some of the figures I've finished painting. Broo pack from MadKnight... For some reason, I ended up with two of the rhino broo when I placed my order. So, I cut-off the axe head from one of them and glued a flail spiked ball and chain that I had removed from some other non-Gloranthan figure. I'm still slowly painting the remaining Broo pack figures.
  3. I just backed the latest Mad Knight kickstarter for 28mm Glorantha miniatures. It only runs for the next 9 days: Troll Caravan. 28mm Runequest Glorantha Miniatures Here's the description of this set of minis: "This is THE TROLL CARAVAN, a 28mm white metal miniatures caravan full of Trollish goodness which is my fourth Kickstarter. Zathros of Halikiv is an Argan Argar priest and his caravan beetles its way from Dagori Inkarth to Pavis, then to the Holy Country via Prax and Sartar every year. Zathros rides a giant beetle and is accompanied by a host of trollkin and troll guards, both living and dead. The caravan normally moves at night time and rests up during the day. Trollkin on small beetles scout ahead of the caravan. The main body of the caravan is guarded by full trolls and undead great trolls on giant beetles. Trollkin porters will fight if necessary and it is rumoured that some of the beetles are themselves intelligent. A full set of RQG stats will be provided to backers via email regardless of their pledge level. All figures sold via my Kickstarters' will be fully supported by the upcoming Wargame rules Glorantha : Skirmish War. There are five rewards in this Kickstarter. These are all priced at the same amount so if you wish you can chop and change during the survey process. Rewards are all 28mm heroic scale and are compatible with my previous Kickstarter projects." I've been collecting all of Mad Knight's Glorantha miniatures and am close to having all of the Broo raiders painted.
  4. Does anyone know if the set of Dark Hold Duckmen miniatures from Rebel Minis is the same set that Mongoose Publishing produced some years ago when they were publishing Mongoose Runequest & Runequest II? The image here looks to be the same set, but I've only seen one photo years before of the Mongoose Publishing Duck miniatures, and my memory may be failing. Anyway, the Rebel Minis set looks different from the images of Durulz that I'm used to seeing in publications. These minis look more "anthropomorphic" than illustrations I've seen in published RQ and Glorantha books. Does anyone have this set of Dark Hold Duckmen, and are they the right size, proportionally, to other 28mm Glorantha miniatures?
  5. I ordered and received two War Llamas, one with the queen and one without rider, along with the Orsa Stormbringer big cat rider. The sculpts are quite good and I'm happy with the llamas. I may order a couple more without riders. Now to find some Glorantha appropriate riders for these riderless llamas. Does anyone have any recommendations?
  6. I seem to recall a few other gaming related articles on Forbes in the past two years -- One on the surge in interest with Euro Games (e.g., Settlers of Catan) among Silicon Valley, and another one of the renewed popularity of D&D. I can't find the articles for reference and it may have something to do with my adblocker too. I wasn't able to read the Delta Green article due to my adblocker. Thanks, @lordabdul & @Ian Absentia for summarizing the content.
  7. @M Helsdon I'd be interested in your detailed analysis if you gain permission to share.
  8. Victrix Limited currently has a Free Worldwide Postage discount code (AUTUMNSALE) through 21 October 2019 on orders of £75 or more. I'm planning to use it to get a few sets of their Ancients line to use as Gloranthan figures. Probably a set of Gauls and the Celtic Chariot set looks cool for Sartarites. I'm considering a set of the early Romans for Lunars.
  9. Victrix Limited has a few sets in their 28mm Ancients line to represent Macedonians. Check out their figure sets here. They also have others in their Ancients line that could represent Lunars. I received a free worldwide postage discount code via their email newsletter that is valid through 21 October 2019: AUTUMNSALE

  11. I got my large order of Infinity Engine miniatures, which also included the Dragonnewts from the kickstarter, and I'm totally loving them. These are some hella sculpts! Bravo to Richard and company for producing a fine series of Glorantha miniatures.
  12. I got my order of Morokanths and many more Rapier miniatures (it was more economical to place an oder for multiple miniatures due to international postage) and I'm extremely happy with all of the figures. The sculpts are marvelous! I'm now saving up for an order of the Scorpionmen and others.
  13. @Guthroth I too have been building up my collection of Glorantha miniatures, albeit not necessarily for skirmish games, but for Runequest roleplaying. Here's a link to the Glorantha Miniatures thread where we've been adding links to many different collections of minis. Some are not licensed Glorantha miniatures, but they are Bronze Age (Ancient) lines that would work well for Lunar armies. Check out the discussion thread.
  14. I purchased a pack of Oxen miniatures (2) from the WizKids Pathfinder Battles Deep Cuts miniatures line that could work The Broken Tower Runequest Glorantha QuickStart adventure. I should probably pick up a couple more packs of Oxen that can be used with any other encounters with Praxian Tribes. A few bison would be useful too. I need to get me a few of the War Llamas.
  15. @g33k I don't know about distribution agents, but the U.S.-based retailer Noble Knight Games has a very large mail-order operation and may be interested in bulk orders. It might be worth us contacting them so they know we're interested. They've always been open to customer requests for new products.
  16. There are lots of great suggestions in this thread for miniatures that can be used for Glorantha. Keep 'em coming!
  17. @BalazarLightson Thanks for the narrative hook suggestions for players that will use their own characters rather than the pre-gens. @Erdrix Maybe assistance with any upcoming adventures that the PCs will go on into Snake Pipe Hollow, or some of the adventures in the Game Master Pack. @
  18. @seneschal I like those ducks more than the 15mm ones.
  19. Thanks for sharing @JDM I'll take a look at them. The Trojan civilians look like they could work as Esrolian citizens. Enticing! @Helliwell I sent reply message to your response on the Infinity-Engine form with details of what I'd like to order for the miniatures and the Strike Rank Tracker additional player sets.
  20. I have a similar project @Cultist of Sooty to build up a set of Glorantha miniatures for my upcoming RQG campaign. The links provided are very helpful. It's unfortunate that there are very few female character miniatures, and especially any that could resemble Gloranthan cultures such Sartarites, Praxians, and especially Esrolians. I'd love to find some miniatures to represent the urban locales of Esrolia or Lunar Tarsh. Perhaps the current Runequest miniature licensee holders would be interested in producing more female Gloranthan characters, with a priority on the Esrolians and Lunar Tarshites.
  21. @BalazarLightson Thanks for sharing your experience with running The Broken Tower. I too plan to proceed to the scenarios in the GM kit once the group has completed The Broken Tower, and determine who liked RQG and is committed to playing in an ongoing campaign.
  22. Thank you, both for replying to this thread. I suspected that the website contact form may not be operating as Issaries intended, and I'm thankful for @David Scott for mentioning nudging you on this discussion forum. I look forward to hearing from you @Helliwell
  23. Thanks @David Scott I'll contact @Helliwell or @Stormwalker this weekend if I've not heard back from the email that was sent via the contact form. I planning to purchase the Strike Rank Tracker with a few extra player sets since I plan on having up to 10 players. The Rune Biscuits look great and I'm planning to purchase a set of the Ivory ones since they look better than the biscuit ones. Maybe the biscuit ones could be stained with a red dot in the middle to make them look like Gloranthan Jammie Dodgers! 😀 Thanks for the Lunars and Sartarite miniature suggestions from @SDLeary & @BWP And, @Estarriol I'm looking forward to receiving the current figures and will be ordering the new ones you develop.
  24. Is there an update on the production of these Gloranthan coins?
  25. Yes, thanks Chaosium. Let's see more of Andrey Fetisov's art showcased in upcoming RQ publications! And I too would like to see his illustrations rendered in 28mm miniatures.
