Hello fellow gamers
This is Inkub from Miniwojna and Polish Miniatures here (www.miniwojna.blogspot.com and www.polskiefigurki.blogspot.com). And if I'm here, it means that this is time for further Polish Wargaming News article - Polish companies and Polish miniatures by a guy from Poland:)
So, welcome to the fourth installment of this bi-weekly review.

All links lead directly to appropriate products available at the manufacturers’ webstores or to reviews of products.

Grimdark future, for the starters:


Radar Station from Puppets War
Puppets War is one of the leading Polish manufacturers of wargaming miniatures and models and its range is constantly growin. "Radar Station" is one of two new models from this company, which I want to show in today's article. As usual, this is modular model, which is compatible with all vehicle turrets available at Puppets War's webstore. Yours for 7 EUR / 9.87 USD / 6.09 GBP.

Orc Warchief in Juggernaut Mecha-Armour
Kromlech at its best - orc in impressive armour. Well, I should say really LARGE orc in very impressive and detailed armour (miniature comes in about twenty separate parts). Add to this 40 mm resin scenic base and it is clear why this beauty will cost you 27.99 EUR / 38.53 / 23.17 GBP.

Space Knights Sonic/Steampunk shoulder pads from Spellcrow

Efreet twin heavy flamer turret from Bitsbox
Bitsbox is one of the less known Polish companies but it has a rather extensive range of various weapons, bits and vehicles in 28 mm "heroic" scale. One of the last releases is this "Efreet" twin heavy flamer turret supplied with mounting and base plate and compatible with vehicles produced by this manufacturer.
I think you will be pleasantly suprised by the price of this new release: 13 USD.

Fantasy in 28 mm scale



Spellcrow's sets of fantasy miniatures
Spellcrow promotes its own free fantasy skirmish system Umbra Turris and makes metal 28 mm "heroic" scale miniatures for it. As they tend to bo both well sculpted and generic, I think everyone interested in fantasy games will find something nice for themselves. Lately Spellcrow offers sets of these miniatures. There are four such sets currently available: Humans, Dwarves, Heroes of Back Alleys and Rogues of Back Alleys. All sets contain six metal miniatures and are available for a regular price of 30.50 EUR / 38.10 USD / 24.78 GBP. First three sets are currently available with a discount, current price is 21.80 EUR / 27.24 USD / 17.71 GBP which is, in my opinion, really good price.
