30 Days of Holiday Sales…

Posted on by

Well, it is that time of year again – the holidays.

While Christmas is big here in the US, we realize that it is not so big in other parts of the world, nor is it the only holiday celebrated this time of year; so rather than having a traditional Christmas Sale, we have decided to take the 30 days between now and the 25th of December and rotate various specials. Some may last the full 30 days, others may only be valid for a 24 or 48 hour period…

Resistant Roosters USMC

So, to kick off the 30 days we are offering Free Domestic Shipping on All Resistant Roosters products (For our international customers, we will discount the shipping by an amount equal to the average US shipping cost for the same Resistant Roosters products you order) – This offer will be valid for the full 30 days. Resistant Roosters shipping off expires 25 December 2007.

Look for more specials later this week!

A Slow Week & a Thanksgiving Special

Posted on by

It has been a slow week here at HistoriFigs HQ. Not that there hasn’t been anything going on, just not a lot of excitement…

I decided that this would be a good week to slow down and take a look at all of the projects in the hopper (and there are a lot of projects in the works). As such things are a bit quite. Orders are being processed; a few website updates and mostly a bit of internal review…

Of late there has been a lot of activity in and around the Bloodaxe line of miniatures. Several website updates (with more to come), new releases working their way through the system, and a nice resurgence of interest in the line. To date we have been pleased with the response to the recent Russo-Japanese War and World War One releases. Next week, we will balance out the WWI offerings when we release the Germans.

This weekend, I plan to continue work on a few projects related to the Resistant Roosters line of figures, so look for some news early next week concerning a few pack reorganizations and a few additional offerings relating to existing figures.

Another project in the works is that we will be adding an online ordering system for each of our lines of miniatures. I’ve been working on a PayPal driven system (since it is easy). The first section of the website to receive this new ordering option will be the Resistant Roosters section, followed by the Bloodaxe website. If this all goes well, the Scruby figures will be added to the system (as we redesign the main website). There are just a few more kinks to work out so, I believe that we will launch online ordering around the first of December.

Ok and now on to our Thanksgiving Special. From now through midnight November 24th (that would be Saturday, so for postal orders be sure they are postmarked by midnight on Saturday, or let us know that you are sending an order by mail) all orders for Bloodaxe Miniatures will be postage free for US customers – Orders shipped to non-US addresses be shipped for a flat fee of $4.00. All figures listed on the Bloodaxe website are eligible for this offer (this includes the, now listed, pre-release WWI Germans – these will be shipped late next week).

Look for our Holiday Specials announcement on Sunday!

More Bloodaxe Photos…

We’ve posted a few more photos on the Bloodaxe website. So far a few pictures of the Early Greek Hoplites are up; these will be followed by some photos of the WWII Germans and Russians.

The Early Greek Hoplites are from my Thessalain DBA army. The figures were painted a few years ago by Clif Castle – Visit the Gallery page to see some larger color photos.

More/New Pictures on Bloodaxe Website

Finally. After, oh lets not say how long, we have posted some pictures of the Bloodaxe Russo-Japanese War Japanese (pictured below) and World War One Russians…

1904 Japanese Infantry

I think we will re-shoot a few of these pictures, but for now they should give you an idea of what the figures look like.

The Japanese are some of Lance’s more recent work, while the Russians are some of his older work (but if I recall correctly some of these figures were re-done for this release).

Many folks have bee picking up the Russians to use in Russian Civil War games. I too plan to use some for the RCW. Additionally, we will be using these for our WWI game that will start to crank up this winter, so look for the Russians in fur cap as well as the first of the Germans some time in late December.

Why not pop over to the Bloodaxe website and take a peek?

Tips for Winter Themed Bases

Several of you have asked about the old Resistant Roosters tutorial pages, and if we will be bringing those back…

In short; yes, we will be bringing these back. I’d like to reformat and perhaps update a few of these, so we will not have them up over night.

The first of the pages has been reformatted and is presented here for your reading and modeling pleasure. We have decided to present the tutorial pages as PDFs. We felt that this format will make it easier for you to download and read at you convenience. Additionally, it will make future updates much easier.

Next week, I’ll setup a new Tutorials page in the Resistant Roosters section of the website, until then the link above will take you to the new file.
