Welcome to The Wargaming Review. This new section of the site has been set up in conjunction with Grant Hill (former reviews editor for Tabletop Gaming News) and myself as a place to collect together reviews of science fiction and fantasy wargaming products.
The reviews you can see are just the start, we will be adding new reviews on a regular basis. If you're interested in writing reviews or are a company who wants their products reviewed please head up to the contacts link in the main menu.
Coming to market toward the end of 2011 was Sarissa Precision's 'System ∞' set of modular laser-cut MDF scenery. As the Settler Pod is largely identical to the previously reviewed Explorer Pod this review will mostly look at changes from the smaller pod.
The Settler Pod is in the middle of the sizes of buildings available from Sarissa.
Coming to market toward the end of 2011 was Sarissa Precision's 'System ∞' set of modular laser-cut MDF scenery. From the name of the range Sarissa are clearly targetting the terrain-hungry needs of Corvus Belli's Infinity game and I'll be reviewing the kit accordingly.
The Explorer Pod is the smallest of the buildings in the range and is priced accordingly.
Micro Art Studio's District 5 Apartment kit was one of the first mass-market laser cut SF buildings when it came out last year. This review covers the recent version 2 release which is cosmetically identical but has a slightly differently shaped floor piece to allow for future modularity. As far as I'm aware the two different versions of the kit will stack on top of each other but the floors and the long walls from the older version can't be interchanged with the new version or upcoming related models.
Welcome to a review of my first Avatar from Malifaux (by Wyrd Miniatures).
As you have noticed I have gone for Seamus and his Avatar of Dread. Or, to a lot of people on the Internet, Mr Hyde/Hulk. So let’s make a start on this bad boy.
Welcome to another review, this time we are going to look at some of the fine miniatures produced by Tor Gaming for their Relics game.
Let’s have a look what the postman brought:
So that is Vaettir Varriers, Orcnar Docga and Britanan Dragoons, so we have a nice mix of miniatures for this first dip into Relics. Lets rip open these bad boys and see what shiny is inside :D
Infinity relies heavily on status markers, most people print them out or photocopy them and cut them out, but Micro Art Studio are now offering official 'Designed for Infinity' versions in laser-cut acrylic.
A two-model blisterpack, the Guarda de Assalto is a fast-moving powered armour trooper accompanied by a monowheel drone.
Noticably less complex to build than last week's Chimera, the Guarda de Assalto is notable for having two different sets of arms with different weapon loadouts.
A four model box set, the Überfallkommando consists of a Chimera (a cyborg undercover operative) and her three Pupniks, human-animal hybrids bred for the underground fighting circuit.
Definitely a kit for the advanced modeller, the Chimera in particular is a tricky build.
Today I am lucky enough to be able to review some miniatures from Avatars of War. This time it's the first of their 'WarCast' unit boxes, the plastic Dwarf Berserkers.

But before I go into the review of the miniatures, a bit of info about AoW in case you haven’t heard of them before;
Welcome to my review of Relics from the guys from Tor Gaming a skirmish based game with some of the most original miniatures around.
I
will be looking at the rulebook that is available on-line from Wargame Vault. There are two versions available, one for $10.00 (USD) that includes all of the rules and army lists, and a free 'Starter' version (missing rules on Magic, Morale, Command and Lingering Effects, and only has army lists for figures in the Starter Cans). As always I will be covering the usual FMRRMWYGFYMS
system of reviews.
Welcome to my review of Evil Mushroom Games Crystal bases (taken from my blog).
This is something different as this is my first video review that's right instead of only reading the good bits and looking at the pretty pictures you have to deal with my voice, although there are pretty pictures as well!
Welcome to another miniature review, this one will be a review of the miniatures you can get from Copplestone Castings. In particular from their Kiss Kiss Bang Bang range, which sits very nicely with Crooked dice’s game of TV spies 7TV.
And a huge thank you to them for letting me do this to their miniatures.
