Warhammer Historical's Legends of the Old West out in November
The next release from Warhammer Historical, Legends of the Old West, will be with North Star late November 2004. This book sees the first product from Warhammer Historical to break out of the Ancient period. I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do.
Legends of the Old West is a full-colour, 136-page rulebook, retailing at £20.00 GBP / $38 USD. To quote Mr Rob Broom, Captain of the Warhammer Historical ship, "This is our best-looking book to date."
The text that follows is taken from the back cover of Legends of the Old West:
Legends of the Old West is a tabletop miniatures game which allows you to bring to life the deeds of the brave lawmen and gunfighters of the most famous period in America's history. This lavish, full-colour manual contains all the rules you need to gather your posse and play games set on the harsh American frontier. Within you will find eight action-packed scenarios, and a campaign system that allows you to develop your fighters into hard-bitten heroes and villains of the Old West. Fight alongside some of the deadliest figures of Western legend - such as Billy the Kid, Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp. Rob a stagecoach with the James gang, or try to out-draw Wild Bill Hickock. Grab your sixgun, saddle your mustang and prepare to take part in the wildest adventure of them all!
You can place your pre-order now with North Star - and yes, there is a free figure.
Mike Owen, of Artizan Design and sculpting Wild West characters fame, will be producing a range of Wild West 28mm figures for Artizan Design. He has produced a limited-edition character to go with every order sent out from North Star. We'll announce who the figure is very soon on TMP.
As always with North Star, we will be shipping numerous copies to stores and distributors around the world, and each copy will have the free figure with it. If you are buying Legends of the Old West from a games store, ask them to get it from North Star so you don't miss out on the figure. Our main stockist in the U.S. will be Brigade Games; and Canadians, give Terry at North Bay Games and Hobbies a call.
