Troublemaker Games Presents:

Troublemaker Games is a new Miniatures company, specialising in the design of quirky and original Miniature War Games. Our high quality miniatures, designed by acclaimed sculptors Ben and Barny Skinner, are designed on computer, allowing for the highest possible level of detail.

We don't just make models though; we make games. Our first game is Timeline 300, a 10mm scale Steampunk wargame, set in an alternate version of the year 1870. Great Britain and Germany, supported by steam-powered technology and the magic of Thaumatic energy, fight for dominance of the only resource that matters, coal, all under the hungry gaze of the approaching Martians…

Unlike many wargames, Timeline 300 is not played by buying two equally pointed armies, lining them up and fighting. Instead, the game is more about the capture of resources which allow the purchase of new forces during the game. Battles can start small and develop into vast conflicts, as the fight for control of the flow of coal intensifies.

I like the British land ship style designs. Not so keen on the tank style for the German forces. Would be interested in this if it goes along the "ships on land" direction with further ship-shaped minis.

The British ships will indeed all be literal land ships, but the Germans are more along steam-panzer styles.

Thanks for the response.

Only really appeals personally if there are two actual land ship forces. Will there be other nations?

Yes, the French will have wooden land ships.

Nice looking figs. Sadly, not 15/18mm

I'd love the British Gentlemen in 6mm. May try using the landships for 6mm WTNW.

And the 'ships on land' idea is a good one. If you wanted my $0.05 worth.

Why 5 cents? Inflation, old boy, inflation.

J I think you are right there. The mini looks similar to the photo in the first edition of WTNW that has the "First Landship" design except in that one it was a paddle wheeler on treads. Very good minis guys! I think the gather resources and plan ala-Civilization idea might be worth exploring too! I look forward to more!

Just a quick note to say that all our infantry now come with laser-cut bases for no extra charge!
