Sound The Trumpets - Playtesters Needed!

AMERICAN UNCIVIL WAR

The long awaited rulebook for American Uncivil War is nearing its completion and now it is time to test out the rules!  Author Andy Hoare is looking for feedback on this highly anticipated skirmish rule set. If you would like to be part of this playtest, please contact me at jeff@architectsofwar.com to volunteer. We cannot guarantee that everyone that contacts us will get a chance to playtest, but if you would like to apply, please send me your contact information, some brief notes about yourself and your gaming group, and what kind of Civil War resources (figures, terrain, etc) you have at your disposal. We will contact you from there to discuss further!

Salute 2012

This past weekend was Salute 2012, London's premier wargaming show (and probably one of the biggest in all of Europe). Many of Architects of War's partners were on hand to show off their latest products and run fantastic games. I have borrowed some amazing pictures from an awesome website: Wargames Society.  One of the members of this site, Joe Deever, took hundreds of excellent photos that can be found starting HERE. Please look at their galleries to see some incredible gaming tables and miniatures that were on display at the show. 

Here are just a few of those pictures of our friends at Perry Miniatures, Warlord, Eureka, Gripping Beast, and more!

This excellent table of Corunna 1809 won the Best in Show award and is truly amazing!

Perry Miniatures Painting Contest - Reminder

We wanted to take a second and remind everyone that the first Official Perry Miniatures Painting Contest is only 98 days away at Historicon 2012!  I am sure many of you have been working away on your masterpieces since we announced the contest, but for those that haven't - the countdown is on!  Be sure to keep up on all the categories and rules HERE.

Until next time, keep painting away!

Architects of War at Salute 2012

For our friends in the UK, we wanted to make sure that you know where Architects of War products will be available at Salute 2012. 

Architects of War terrain and other products will be on sale at the Warlord Games stand (location TG12). Our good friends at Warlord will be happy to help you with any questions you may have!

In addition, if you would like to see a preview of the new models for our forthcoming Fanticide game, head over to our friends at Eureka Miniatures (location TEO3) for all the latest!

On The Road Again...

We are about to embark on a whirlwind trip to the UK to meet with tons of miniature companies, game designers, sculptors, and more to secure new products for Architects of War and Alien Dungeon! We will also be working closely with our partners as we prepare for the launch of Fanticide soon.

Due to this trip, we will be unable to process orders until we return. So any orders placed after Sunday April 8 will not be shipped out until Wednesday April 18. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

The Thunder Of Hooves On The Horizon!

We just received some amazing shots of the upcoming Perry Miniatures Mounted Men-At-Arms which will be released at the end of the month.  We couldn't wait to show everyone these amazing miniatures! We should have these in stock soon after Salute (which is on April 21) and we will have pre-orders up soon for these awesome models!
