The Albedo Miniatures Game ACP164 is launched today as a retail release following a successful Kickstarter campaign. The initial release includes full colour A4 rulebooks, source book and The Almata Campaign book together with cards, templates tokens and of course lots of highly detailed 28mm miniature figures and vehicles.

ACP164 has a monthly release schedule whereby the additional miniatures developed though the kickstarter campaign will be releases over the next 6 months.

Mike Wilson has recently taken up the position of Trade Account Manager. We are keen to make this excellent game available via gaming, comic and hobby retail outlets across the world, so any interested retailers can contact Mike [email protected]

Whiteout To Launch On Kickstarter

We love Pulp Miniature gaming, we love classic movies. We thought it would be a great idea to have a range of miniatures for gaming inspired by the iconic images of classic movies, brought to your table-top in glorious crisply cast pewter!
Having run two previous Kickstarters for Classic Movies, we felt it was time for the third instalment, this time focusing on snow, ice and mountains. As you will see, we have three warmly clad packs of figures as well as two wonderful vehicles for them to get about in, already sculpted, cast up and ready to go. To accompany them in their adventures is a range of highly detailed models for you to make.

The miniatures were Inspired by two of my favourite spy movies, the first one opened with some cheesy one liners and an adrenaline filled ski chase sequence, the second featuring a submarine breaking through the ice pack to supposedly offer assistance to an arctic research station in distress, however these miniatures are sufficiently versatile to serve in a wide range of pulp and spy-fi based games.

The campaign also includes a complete new game, ‘Whiteout’.

At the same time that we were designing the miniatures and terrain for this campaign we ran into Richard Humble who was at the time developing a game set in the Arctic waste. We took a look, really liked the game so decided to collaborate. Whiteout is a challenging Solo / Co-Op game. In Richards words....

“You and your party have been contracted to carry out an extremely hazardous mission into the Arctic wastes. You have been chosen for your specialist skills and experience but to preserve deniability you will largely be on your own.
You can expect to be out on the ice for at least a week and there have been reports of hostiles in the area. We will get supplies to you when we can but you cannot rely upon them. The remains of several previous contracts may provide some resources but you will have to be careful with your stores.
You must also be mindful that in the lonely wastes the threats are not always physical, your mental well-being is also vital to your success. Keep your spirits high and don’t forget to stop to rest when the mission allows!
You mission briefing starts in an hour and you depart at first light. The weather forecast is atrocious with whiteout conditions – good luck.”

To maximize replay value, making sure that every mission is different, the game uses three decks of cards, an encounter, terrain and equipment deck (117 cards in total). We will be publishing a lavishly illustrated perfect bound copy of the rules together with printed card decks. However, we would like you to get playing straight away and to be part of the final play test of the game so everyone who backs the campaign will have access to download a PDF playtest versions of rules and cards . Details of how to do this appears on the first 'backer only' campaign update.

What we have so far for definite in the project is:

• Ski-doo kit (metal & resin kit)
• Gyrocopter (metal & resin kit)
• Medium SnowCat & Trailer (MDF & Card Kit)
• Large SnowCat (Resin Kit)
• Arctic Science researchers (4 fig pack)
• Skiers (4 fig pack)
• Arctic soldiers (4 fig pack)
• Sub Conning tower breaking through ice (MDF, Card, 3-Decals and resin)
• Arctic research station (MDF & card)
• Jamesway Hut – Accommodation (MDF & card)
• Tramp steamer kit for Ice Bound Ship
• Printed Whiteout Rulebook
• Printed Whiteout cards

This is the current list of stretch goals, how many we get done will be dependent on how much interest there is in the project.

• Ice Station Zebra Character Pack
• Soviet Paratroopers in Arctic Kit
• Character pack based on ‘The Thing’ (1950's and 1980's versions)
• Dog Sledge Pack
• Man pulled sledge pack
• Arctic wildlife pack
• Crashed Satellite / Camera Objective Marker (resin)
• Expedition dome tent (resin)
• 28mm DB5 kit - maybe not for use on the ice put it fitted with the spy-fi theme!

Plus terrain boards and opportunity to pick up previous classic movie miniatures, sets, props and locations at a discount.
Lots more ideas for stretch goals depending on level of support that we get.

The range consists of trays that are available in 35mm, 50mm, 70mm and 100mm heights.

Inserts for every bases size and shape imaginable and if we don't stock the insert for your base size we always add it to our catalogue on request.

Accessories such as self adhesive steel vinyl to work with magnetic bases, variable dividers, component trays, paint pot and bottle inserts, index card boxes and complete storage solutions for games like Zombicide, Shadespire, Conan, Sails of Glory, Wings of Glory, X-Wing and many more.

Salute 2019 New Releases

ILR Blue Wind Special Purpose Forces Team. RRP £44
12 x multipart metal 28mm miniatures, plastic slotta bases & unit data card
Operation BLUE WIND was a long running reconnaissance operation, based deep in ConFed territory. The troopers selected for this mission became a special breed, known for their resilience, ruthlessness and independent thought. Because they specialised in raiding and short-term missions, these squads were typically heavily armed and well led.

A BLUE WIND team consists of 12 critters, formed as an infantry squad, and always commanded by an officer, and often broken down into two fire teams. The second team is led by a sergeant, and often operates independently. Both teams have a two critter LMG crew, and the remaining three members of the squad are armed with a sniper rifle, rifle/grenade launcher combination, and normal rifle - this trooper is usually a medic in the second team and a communications specialist in the first team.
Unusually for the Republicans, these teams often wear camouflaged clothing appropriate to the area that they are operating in as they attempt to blend in with their surroundings during long reconnaissance patrols or sneak attacks.


HomeGuard Airmobile Squad RRP £30
8 x multipart metal 28mm miniatures, plastic slotta bases & unit data card
After Beii, many HomeGuard commanders saw the value of airmobile troops in defending their own worlds, but lacking the funds to operate massive Aerodyne fleets, adopted other methods. These mainly included the relatively cheap Enchawah EC 37 LARC series of rotorcraft. Airmobile troops are equipped with the LAKW 1-30 Carbine.
The LAKW 1-30 was a new assault weapon designed to replace the PMKW 2-18. Firing the new L30 round in a cut down 1-56 mechanism, the 1-30 was capable of single shot, three round burst or fully automatic fire, and was designed for flexibility in use. It featured a retractable stock, 30 round magazine and a very modern computer assisted reflex sight, which also enhanced aiming of the optional underslung 40mm grenade launcher.

ILR Sniper (Kneeling) RRP £5
Pack contains 1 x ILR Sniper armed with AW 1915 Sniper Rifle

ConFed Sniper (kneeling) RRP £5
Pack contains 1 x ConFed Sniper armed with CKW 1-56 Sniper Rifle


March New Releases
• Female Civilian Pack – 3 Figures £12
• EDF Airmobile Infantry, Carbine – 3 Figures £12
• Confed Airmobile Infantry, Carbine – 3 Figures £12
• EDF Heavy Infantry Reinforcements, Dachshund – 3 Figures £12
• Head Pack: Dachshund, EDF Helmet – 5 heads £4
• Head Pack: Dachshund, bareheaded – 5 heads £4
Sally 4th will be at Stand TF07 at Salute. We look forward to seeing you there.
The miniature range has been digitally sculpted and the figures are supplied as multi-piece metal castings to allow a wide variety of troop type to be depicted. The miniatures have been designed to overcome many of the problems associated with multi-piece metal castings. Heads are cast with a neck that finishes in a pin that locates in a hole in the body; where possible pairs of arms are cast as a pair holding a weapon with pins at tops of arms that locate in to holes in shoulders. This ensures that components align perfectly and are easy to glue together. Figures supplied with 25mm plastic slotta-base.

Regards,

Chris Abbey
