Here are two Firestorm units supplied by the Gryphon’s Nest custom painting service for the upcoming Flames of War tournament – Festung: Las Vegas 13 being held at the Platinum Hotel on June 15 and 16 next month.

The figures are from Quality Castings and soon to be available from our online catalog of miniature and tabletop game figures and supplies.  You can purchase similar figures unpainted and unassembled or utilize our custom painting service and get your figures finished and ready to hit the tabletop!

Quality Castings’s World War Two line covers American, British, Aussies, Germans, Italians, Japanese, Polish and Russian, plus some civilians and partisans and cool landing crafts.  They also make great accessories, such as trenches, pillboxes and anti-tank obstacles.  Check out our Miniature Games Store Online Catalog!

No Internet needed!

Today there was a national internet outage for Century Link customers in 38 states across the country.  And yes, it affected us here at the Gryphon’s Nest too!  Fortunately we were functioning again before 11AM.

But that got me to thinking about how great tabletop miniatures wargames are!  If you play World of Warcraft or any MMO/online adventure game/multi-player combat sim / etc, then you are completely at the mercy of something like this.  But not tabletop wargaming!  Nothing against those forms of entertainment, but on a day like today with no internet, what better to do than push around some Carthaginians, French, Prussian, Seleucid, Ork, Elf or mech armies around?

The new Games Workshop 40K reference updated for 6th edition is here! Codex: TAU EMPIRE!

This 104 page hardcover book includes: the story of how the Tau united to begin their expansion across the galaxy; a description of, and rules for, the deadly warriors of the Fire caste, the alien auxiliaries that support them, as well as sophisticated weapons and sleek vehicles of the Tau; a showcase of fantastically painted Tau Empire Citadel miniatures, with various color schemes and insignia of different septs; and a comprehensive army list that allows you to organize your Tau Empire miniatures on the tabletop.

The new Tau Battlesuit RIPTIDE is now available also!

The XV104 Riptide takes the evolution of the Tau battlesuit to a whole new level. First and foremost the model is huge, towering over the rest of the Tau – even other battlesuits and tanks. Sleek and elegant armour panels, along with bolts and grills, cover its body. Despite its enormous size, with ball and socket joints it remains a manoeuvrable model whose arms and legs can be posed in a variety of different ways. Either standing tall or even kneeling down, you can use it as a unique, dynamic centrepiece for your Tau army. As well as three variant heads it comes with a range of weapons options including a heavy burst cannon, twin-linked smart missile systems, fusion blaster and Riptide shield generator. If that wasn’t enough, the kit also comes with two Shielded Missile Drones.

This multi-part plastic kit contains 108 components and a Tau transfer sheet with which to make a XV104 Riptide Battlesuit and two Shielded Missile Drones.
