Time travel back seven years with us this time to re-visit two pieces of unique Flintloque inspired 28mm terrain made by Tony Harwood. Lost to us all and now restored. Read about the Gingerbread House and the Were Chicken Coup as well as links to other articles and download the 'Sharkes Gingerbread' scenario from the 2012 Salute wargame show participation game.

Enjoy!

Special flash sale. If you have ever thought about trying 28mm Sci-Fi gaming, this might be the perfect opportunity. We've got a bit of an overstock on the starter set for Beyond The Gates Of Antares. I've marked them down to $35.00 in order to move a few units. As soon as the inventory level comes down to a more reasonable level, I'll end the sale.

This starter set includes everything you need to play the game in one box.... it's a great intro to the world of Beyond the Gates of Antares.

The Joy Of Six – 2019

Another year - that means another Joy of Six show!  The organising team are all really pleased to let you know that the Joy of Six wargames show will be taking place at Sheffield Hallam University on Sunday 7th July 2019.

Regular attendees will notice that this is a week earlier than usual, as we've been forced to change in order to avoid Sheffield city centre's annual deluge of urban cyclists who have caused so much disruption to the show in the last two years.

We are now inviting applications for those of you wanting to stage games at this year's event.   For more information and a booking form contact us here.

As usual we will be holding our workshop tours around the Baccus Megacorps Industries manufacturing facility on Saturday 6th July.   It's a great way to make a full weekend event.    Places on these sessions are limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.  Once again, if you need a place reserving, contact us here.  Alternatively use that old fashioned telephone thing  0114 2724491.

See you there!

2019 Painting Contest

Badger Games is pleased to announce the release and planned expansion of  RavenClaw Miniatures’ Sci-Fi miniatures range. The Blixx are a diminutive Oligarchic race who foster and control and empire through the use of socially-engineered, one-eyed soldiers…the Clopsen. The wonderful figures for this range were sculpted by the very talented Mr. Nicolas Genovese.

To celebrate this exciting and expanding range, Badger is running a painting competition with what we feel is a unique take to it. The contest and rules are described below:

  • Applicants are asked to contact Badger Games directly at [email protected].
  • The first 50 contacts will receive the pictured miniature and a 30mm Litko base shipped anywhere in the world for free. This miniature and this base must be used to qualify for submission. We consider it a gentleman’s/gentlewoman’s agreement that the miniature will be painted, based and returned for participation in the contest (this is not just a “free Miniature” deal). No Miniatures will be shipped after February 15, 2019.
  • Miniatures are to be painted and based by the contestants themselves.
  • The miniature may not be converted. The base may not be augmented or built up beyond standard basing (addition of sand, grassing, foliage, etc.).
  • The winner will be decided by a blind vote (identity of the painter unknown) by the attendees of Adepticon 2019 in Schammburg, IL (suburban Chicago). All with have equal position in a Plexiglas display case at the Badger Games Booth in the Exhibitor’s Hall at Adepticon and voting will be allowed once per voter/attendee for the entire convention. Number of votes will determine 1st, 2nd and 3rd
  • Miniatures may be delivered directly to our Booth at Adepticon by 11:00 AM opening day (Thursday, March 28, 2019) or alternately must be delivered to us by Friday, March 15, 2019 via the postal service). Entrant is responsible for return postage if required.
  • All miniatures submitted for judging become the property of Badger Games LLC (that is the gamble of the contest). All entrants who submit a painted and based miniature (must be painted and based) will receive a $10.00 gift card good for use towards the purchase of any Badger Games merchandise.

 

The Prizes:

1st Place: A $200.00 Badger Games gift card and your painting scheme will be used by our house painters for a Blixx/Clopsen army to be displayed at the 2020 Adepticon.

2nd Place: A $100.00 Badger Games gift card.

3rd Place: A $50.00 Badger Games gift card.
