Across the world there are villages that have been abandoned and fallen into ruin. What waits around the corner, maybe a group of vicious bandits or poor townsfolk trying to survive in the decaying village, or perhaps a group of animals have made this their home. The only way to find out is to explore the "Abandoned Hamlet" Vinyl Game Mat!
We also finish our range of Player’s Handbook 2 players sets with the last two classes. We have the chaotic Sorcerer and the protective Warden.

This month we continue to expand our range of Battlefield in a Box Pre-painted Terrain with a few of our older products back in stock, as well as a pair great new items to expand your own personal battlefield.
First up is are the Escarpments. These are small rises that drop off to a sheer rock face. These hills can be used with any scale of wargame; serving as towering cliff faces for 15mm based games or rocky cover for 28mm games. Along with two terrain features, each set will also include two bags of GF9 Hobby Scenics basing material; an appropriate colored static grass and a contrasting colored flock.

Next up is the Extra Large Rocky Hill. This massive hill is perfect for any sort of skirmish gaming (or anything else for that matter) where you need some difficult ground to slow down your enemies.

We also have three old favourites back in stock, but these sold out quickly last time so don't want around or you might miss out.

September 2011 Dungeons & Dragons Releases
12 September 2011
Following on from last months release of the Dungeon Master's Keep - Ultimate DM Screen and Dungeon Masters Token Set - Revised Edition, we have the next most useful item for a DM's arsenal, the Official Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Map Set. This set contains two vinyl game mats for staging your own encounters and adventures. One mat is a simple 1” grid of stone tiles, the classic dungeon environment. With this mat, a DM can mark walls, doors and other dungeon features using a wet-erase marker. This mat will be the staple battle grid for any indoor encounter. The other mat is a green grass field; ideal for staging outdoor confrontations. Like the other mat, a few quick marks from a wet-erase pen customises the mat with whatever elements the encounter calls for. Add a tree line, forest path or campsite and let the battle begin.

|
We add another great map to our range with the "Sanctuary of Fate" Vinyl Game Mat. This provides the ideal battle grid for staging encounters during your adventures and may be marked with WET-ERASE markers to temporarily alter terrain areas or make other notes about battlefield conditions during play. The Game Mat measures 20” x 30” and is marked with a 1” grid. Based on artwork provided by Wizards of the Coast.

GF9 is also expanding its line of popular player character token sets to include the classes from Player’s Handbook 2. This month we see the sets for the relentless Avenger and the indomitable Barbarian.

Scenery plays a vital part in any miniature wargame whether you are playing Historical, Science Fiction or Fantasy battles. The Battlefield in a Box range of tabletop-ready scenery is a quick and easy way to create a wargaming table straight out of the box, suitable for any scale miniature troops to fight over. This month we head straight to the deserts of Earth or any other place you can think of with a range of products perfect for fighting over, whether you are using 10-15mm figures or bigger!

August 2011 Releases
1 August 2011
This month we one of the biggest and most impressive products hit the gaming table, the Dungeon Master's Keep - Ultimate DMs Screen. The Dungeon Master’s Keep is the perfect bastion of secrecy from which DMs can run their adventures and campaigns! The Dungeon Master’s Keep is cast from durable resin and comes pre-painted and ready to use right out of the box. The Gatehouse is secured by two stout doors with a pair of familiar-looking door knockers, and above the doorway hangs the D&D 4th Edition Dragon Icon. Behind the screen are numerous shelves to store miniatures, game cards and other record keeping notes. Two handy trays are built into the walls to hold your GF9 Dungeon Master’s Tokens. Plus, the towers of the gatehouse also serve as dice towers, with one tower facing out to your players (the rolled die exiting from a door in the tower) and one securely behind the screen for private rolls. |
| To accompany the Ultimate DM Screen we also present our Revised Edition of the Dungeon Masters Token Set. We have taken the previous version of the token set and upgraded it with even more tokens than ever before! |
| We travel to the lands of Eberon and the Forgotten Realms with new Campaign Maps. These maps are based on artwork provided by Wizards of the Coast, with each campaign map measureing 30" x 42" and printed on durable vinyl, allowing you to mark the surface with wet-erase markers to tailor the maps to your individual campaigns, record the paths that your heroes travel, or make notes about encounters and locations. |
|
We continue with our range of Battlefield in a Box - Ice Crystals. These blue crystals are cast in resin and are perfect to represent pillars of ice or anything else you can image.
|
| Why spent hours working on making your models look the way you want, only to save a few seconds by not making the base look as nice. This month we add to our range of Basing Grit with addition of a Super Fine grade. Super Fine by name, super fine by nature! |
