Aussie rules


Aussie rues Football is not the only great thing created in Australia.  Let's not forget about Victoria Miniatures, a fantastic line of figures that expand the possibilities for your guardsman armies exponentially!

I made an entire tournament army for them last year for the 40k Championships.  Check out my Road to Adepticon series for that journey!


There's a host of unique designs... check them out here:



The Highland Moss Guard are simply fantastic.  How do you top this "voxcaster"?  Wonderful.


Each figure is incredibly poseable, coming in various parts... torso, head, arms/weapons, legs, and so on.  There's no end to the ways you can combine them.


They are also fantastic for converting figures from a certain other company, as they are designed to be interchangeable. 


The kneeling poses are very fun.  Not only do they make a dramatic individual figure pose as I did here, but they are perfect for gun crews, such as this heavy mortar team:



The APC vehicles in these scenes are from Secret Weapon Miniatures... the RAV 6 x 6.


The ruined tank pieces are also from Secret Weapon miniatures.  They made my kneeling poses look even more dramatic, crouching behind them...


There are eight different versions you can choose from, such as these Victorian Guard:



Look for these great miniatures at Adepticon!!!!


Victoria Miniatures is also providing this special figure for Adepticon 2015, Colonel Elisabeth Deitrich:

    1. No, no tourneys for me. :-) The new version of the A.M. codex wiped out this entire army build, so I got out, and found other games!

  2. I understand. I looked forward to your armies and presentation. They were always special.

    1. Not to worry! Just replacing game systems :-) As you have seen on the blog, I have been building multiple WWX posses, and a big Memoir '44 collection as well.

      Then I will be adding Flames of War and Bolt Action!

    1. My hope is to hit the open gaming room really hard to play Memoir '44, and Wild West Exodus. I'm bringing all my stuff with me. Since I don't know the new facility, the layout, events, etc. with this new Adepticon, I have no idea if any of that will happen. :-) I was also hoping to spend significant time in the hobby painting area...
