In 2011 we bought the Barbarian on Warcat figure from Kevin who was unable to move forward with bringing it into production. This month he contact me and asked if I would consider selling it back to him. I felt that if anyone should have it the one who originally commissioned it to be sculpted should be the one to have it. So we made a deal for the molds and the right to the miniature transferred over to him this last week.
Anyone who is interested in buying copies of the miniature should cont... Continue reading ...

Well molds have had to be put on hold for a bit, I have been forced to spend money on a full roof replacement for the shop instead. So hopefully I can get back to finishing production molds before the end of the year.
We are still in need of materials for the next issue of Playgames magazine. The first issue was downloaded over 200 times which I think is an amazing accomplishment for a first time publication. So please send up anything gaming/hobby related for the next issue which will be publ... Continue reading ...

This is our first attempt at anything like this so please excuse the quality of the layout and the editing. I was working within the limitations of the software that I had available and it... Continue reading ...

I have the 3 legged dollies here now and will begin sending out payment info for there shipping today. I think these came out really nice considering there hard to mold shape. Here is a rough picture of one of the metal dollies taken with my scanner at a high resolution.
These will be $1.00 each plus shipping. They weight very little so up to 5 can be sent in a one ounce package. These will be by request only until we get a top half to market them with. Continue reading ...

Finally after 4 months the programmers have bothered to find out what went wrong with the shipping service changes that occurred in April. I guess I can't say much else as I only got 2/3 of the way through moving everything to a new cart provider in that time.
To many things have barged there way into daily life here this year and nothing at all has gotten done. I didn't get any of the goals I set out in January even started.
I did get the Amazons and the Wolfen into the Mighty Armies Rules, th... Continue reading ...

This month were launching a new line of products for us here at Lone Gunman Games. I say new for "us" as 6 of these figures were briefly availible in early 2003 from another company, more on this in a moment.
The new line is a 28MM modern themed line of miniatures called collectively Modern Heroes. They are suitable for modern, Cyberpunk, Post Apoc, and other near future game settings. Full information on the line can be found on there dedicated products page. The manufacturer's suggested reta...

After a much to long pause (my other companies required my attention) things are finally moving forward again for Lone gunman games. I have given the website a major overhaul by adding pages for the new lines of miniatures, updating the site graphics to correspond to the new retail packaging that was designed by our good friend Wyatt the Odd that will be printed this year.
I have also due to customer demand added the dimensions to the 15MM lines so that the size of the figures can be compared...

Everything about launching the new company has taken longer then I had planned. That includes stocking the Armies of Arcana 5th edition rule book by Terrain Warehouse (uk).
They are now in the store and availible for sale. I am having problems with the webstore cart though. The system does not recognize that the US postal service has flat rate envelopes availible, so I will need to issue refunds on these orders to correct the overpayments on shipping.
I am going to be heading the US push to pr...

Today I got a packet of samples from the greens I sent to the caster. The greens were sculpted by WhiffWaff with a lot of detail for 15MM. These are the pics I took with my digital camera of the masters that will make up the production molds for the new "Lords of Fantasy" line that I will be launching with these 5 new sculpts.
I am taking pre-orders now for these to help with the initial costs of production. Pre-order packs will be in lots of 6 figures for all but the wizard who can be ordered...

I got an e-mail from Thane this week that he is letting the hosting subscription to his Armies of Arcana website expire this next month distancing himself even further from the game he created then he is already.
After selling the rules to Terrain Warehouse and the 15MM miniatures line to me I guess he must feel there is no where else for him to take the setting and the rules system that he created.
His creativity and imput will be sorely missed. We wish him the best in this new path he has cho...
