Ratnik Miniatures -next sets available to pre.order

 The next two sets of metal Ratnik figures are available to pre.order from Gaming figures. They’re on their way to Griffin for moulds to be made and current turnaround time is 4-5 weeks.




The first metal set has sold out but is on reorder and I managed to paint a full set

They were a joy to paint and I think simple is the way to go

Ratnik Miniatures first set now available

 I’m pleased to say that I have received the metal casting of Igor Karpov’s first set of 18th century civilians.

Griffin have done a first class job in the mouldmaking and casting the detail on these is excellent.

They will be in the shop tomorrow

Blog name change

 Just a short post to say that as I no longer own Crann Tara I didn’t want to delete the blog so I thought I’d change its name. I’ve done the same with the Facebook page.

The title is pinched from Charles Grant who almost always has a section in each of his books under this heading where he reviews the actions he has fought and gives a glimpse to the future, I thought that was quite apt for this blog.

I will still be converting  and possibly casting some pieces but they will not be for general sale. There may be pieces that will be available to blog and to forum members. 😁

Take care.
