Mutant rider and steed.

The model we are releasing today is very special to us.
It was inspired by a very dear friend that left us last June, he never got to see the complete model with its rider designed by Allan Carrasco himself.
Bruno “Old Blood” Grelier was a keen hobbyist, gamer and a talented painter, it’s under his direction that this model was made, and we dearly hope you will enjoy playing or painting it as much as Bruno would have.
Enjoy !





you can find some pictures of painted miniatures here by Bruno :

"Something is lurking in the toxic swamp"

Their recon mission took them far away from the Resistance controlled area.

The mission was to enquire on the repeating disappearance of supply convoy, but now the trail had taken them to the toxic swamps.

The first hint had been a hand-made bullet case found on the spot of the last known attack.

While they were expecting enemy vehicles tracks they found unknown animal foot prints.

Mikal relaxed somewhat, they would not be facing enemy elite troops but just a bunch of degenerated swamp mutants, one of whom had been lucky enough to find an old machine gun.

Nothing that could not be dealt with.

But now that they have reached the swamps, chances to find that groups had seriously diminished, that, and the fact that he had the odd feeling of being observed.

It was time to return to the fold.

Mikal signed the troopers next to him to turn back to base, sign that was quickly passed down the line.

Co’rmc, the squad sniper took position to cover the retreating troop.

“Let’s move”, said Mikal to Dana, “I don’t like that place, you and Caleb, close the line”

Dana took position the way she had been taught by the old scout, she looked around to find him but failed. Where the freg did he go? She was waiting for his signal to pull back …

She barely had a glimpse of a blood stained mess of a leg casually left on a root when all hell went loose with the staccato of heavy caliber machine guns echoing around her in the swamp.

That was not a group of mutants, no, it was one hell of a huge mutant riding a sort of fangs-ridden degenerated tadpole creature.

That bastard was shooting no less than three handcrafted heavy machine guns in a deadly storm of lead.

Will’am, Jean and Kat’ia had already disappeared in a cloud of gore, bones and innards.

The creature moved with the grace of a chopper bike on a state highway and devoured the last man of the line.

Dana stood and ran toward the creature while preparing a demo tube.

The deafening roar of the machine guns carried on and yet more body parts flew across the swamp.

Dana was close enough now and with a glancing shot she drew the creature to herself, she threw the tube at the face of the mutant, whose upper body vanished in a searing ball of orange, horrendously burning the mount in the process.

Dana was knocked down by the blast.

An eerie silence fell on the swamp.

Co’rmc came nearer to the smoking lefts of the mutant, no trace of the mount to be found.

Even half burned, the body was huge, and twice the size of a human, its skin was covered by a sort of parasite dark green moss.

He deeply hoped it was a one of a kind.

They had to leave anyway...

While Dana was helping Mikal to walk, one of his legs a mess of blood and fatigues Co’rmc was leading the way, they were down to three and the trek back to base would not be an easy one.

The beast was unaccounted for and it was surely prowling around.

September for the Grant's spectres army !


Our new kit arrive !
We are very happy to announce you the released of our 30mm miniatures multi part kit for our Grant's spectre army.

We begin by the legs this week.

The kit comprise : 5 different legs cast in resin. Compatible with Blight Wheel Miniatures and popular plastic (or metal) kits

We choose Resin, a little more expensive, but the best for cast quality and better for fit on plastic kit.
We choose also to design 5 different legs, not 3 or 4, but 5 because under this number we don't think you can realise a beautiful army with a large number of soldier position.

Enjoy !

Officer of his Majesty

It had been several days since they left the foothill of the Glasgow Island.

While navigating through the mist of the Britannic Archipelago, they had been less than happy to stumble onto that uncharted island, but it was their duty to cartography each island of the archipelago and cleanse that degenerate mutant infection
that had taken roots among its population.

The last member of the Royal Family, the General Hell 'Ington (whom had somehow survived his last encounter against the Emperor) had ordered the reconquest of the Archipelago.

The worst part of that infection was the virus ability to turn undead mater both human and animal into that semblance of a life whose only purpose was to feed on the livings.

Today, they moved their trenches further inland, they had set some landmines backed up by razor wires.
The thick toxic mist had prevented a quick reconnoissance of the island, anyways, sooner or later, at nightfall, far away howlings and wailings would give them an idea of the monstrosities dwelling on this island.

It mattered little, for John, proud in his Captain's regalia caressed the grip of his Hell pistol while proudly flexing the fingers of his new Battle Fist he and his men were ready to carry on their duty.

Later that night, they had arrived, the mines had taken their toll but it was not enough against the tide of zombies, the razor wires had only stopped the first few to reach them, quickly becoming entangled meaty carpets enabling the others to cross with no more hindrance than their already ungainly pace.
Heavy ordnance had become silent for the enemy was now too close from the trenches, hand to hand would now be inescapable thought John.
He raised his Hell pistol and ordered "Hold it until you see the white of their teeth, then fire at will !!!" while in his mind he couldn't help to finish the sentence "but keep a last shot for yourself".....

The Karamazov brothers




At the very beginning of the Pan-Européan Empire's expansion, the greatest Impérial Archeo-Engineer was named Fiodor Karamazov, he was famous for his work on the uncovering of scraps of "Ye Old Technology".
He was as brilliant as he was devoid of any human feelings.
To help him on his researche, he roped in his three sons Dimitri, Ivan and Alexeï.
But one day, he went too far by implenting in their bodies datas corrupted by the Blight Wheel.
His aim was to create a new scientific genus, perfect combination between human and machine and at last able to solve the misteries of "Ye Old Technology".
Horrified while his brothers were aghast by what their father/creator had done to them, Dimitri killed him and started to put the blame on his younger brothers.
Rather than facing the wrath of their mutated older brother, Ivan and Alexeï had only but one choice, run away and follow their new path by integrating the Blight Wheel Sino-Russian Empire.
Being hunted down by his own people for what he had became Dimitri too ended up fleeing toward his only option and reunite with his brothers.
There he found out that Ivan had lost most of his sanity while AlexeÏ had willingly embraced this new situation.

Thanks to their knowledge of human nature and their irrevocable affiliation to the Blight Wheel, the brothers quickly made through the ranks of the mechanical army.

Each one started to specialize himself and by assimilating new datas they soon became the unhealthy ambassadors of this corrupted army.

From that day onward were born Emperor Napoleonius' Arch Ennemies, Dimitri "The Hateful Spider", "Crazy" Ivan and "Caterpilar" Alexeï.

Work for a Better stock !

Hi,

This is an important message for those who like our miniatures but don't understand why we don't have full stock all the time.

We are a very tiny company and have stock issues mostly because we are dependents of the mold makers to stick to their delivery date (which they have not been very good at).

For example, it has been many months now that we wait for the delivery of a batch of Mantis Tanks ...

So, by any means, should you be or happen to know of a good mold maker (one that holds its part of the bargain that is) that would be interested in helping us develop our business, please, let us know by wending an e-mail at the following address : blightwheelminiatures at gmail dot com
