The Blood Angels will be descending from the skies to grace us with their presence next month. These ferocious fighters are amongst the best the Imperium has to offer.  Having fought at the Emperor's side at the time of the Horus Heresy, the Blood Angels have continued to support the Emperor. However, some would say that they no longer fight for mankind but for themselves.
There are some fantastic miniatures coming in April.  These include several new characters and 3 new plastic box sets, Death Company, the Baal Predator (now can be fitted with a Flamestorm Cannon on the turret) and a new winged unit in the form of the Sanguinary Guard.

All these models are now available to advance order and are due to be released on Saturday 3rd April.

Now in stock are the new Pine Woods from Gale Force 9.

These box sets are of a very high standard as you would expect from GF9.

Each set (Small and Large) contains 2 prepainted bases and several prepainted trees that are individually based.

The trees can be placed anywhere on the base and this allows you to place your models wherever you wish on the base by simply removing the trees.

Each box also contains a packet of static grass.

I was that impressed with them I actually bought 2 boxes of each for myself!!!

As well as the Pine Woods we also have the GF9 Rivers set and Rivers expansion sets.

This month see’s the release of some new additions to Games Workshops Lord of the Rings range of miniatures. The forces of Rohan are getting some new command miniatures in the form of Eomer, Grimbold and his command plus Thrydan Wolfsbane.  And to balance the scales, evil players also have a couple of new releases, (Saruman (Orthanc) and the new plastic Winged Nazgul). This is a 31 piece kit that can be assembled as either a Ring Wraith or the Witch King.

What a month March is going to be for Warhammer 40000 players.  As well as getting some new missions to play in the form of the new “Battle Missions” book, there are some fantastic multi plastic kits being released. These include Ork Deff Dread, Killer Kans, Space Marine Venerable Dreadnought, Imperial Guard Chimera and the Imperial Guard Basilisk.

The new Flames of War supplement "A Bridge Too Far" is also available.

All these products are now available to advance order.

KR Multicase have been very busy over the last few months, not content with their already fantastic range of figure trays and cases. They have now started to produce custom trays for various Warhammer 40000 races. At this moment in time races covered are Space Marines , Imperial Guard and a tray for the Necron Monolith.  I have been reliably informed that trays for other races will follow at a later date.  All these trays will be available to order very shortly so keep watching this space.

Now available to order is the new Valkyrie tray, this tray holds a Valkyrie (plus the stand)4 of either: Chimera or Leman Russ or Hellhound or Demolisher or Vanquisher or Gryphonne or Executioner or Thunderer.  Also supplied with this tray is a foam insert that sits directly on top of the Valkyrie and holds up to 20 Imperial Guard (insert also available separately).

GF 9 can’t stop delivering fantastic pre painted resin scenery.  As well as their range of ruins they also have a River set that contains enough river sections to stretch 7 feet.  And now they have released additional sections to add a bit more variety to the original box set. 

And not content with ruins and rivers, they have now announced they are releasing pre painted woods in the form of a small Pine Wood and a Large Pine Wood. Both these box sets are now available to advance order and are priced at £15.80(Normal rrp £17.50).

Games Workshop have also been busy, as well as the Beastman release next month, they have added a new all plastic Winged Nazgul to their Lord of the Rings range of miniatures.

All the above are now available to advance order.

The new Beastman releases scheduled for early February are now available to advance order.

As you may be aware, VAT has been increased to 17.5% as of the 1st January. I am afraid to say it’s not the only increase we have had to make.  Due to reasons beyond our control (GW reducing all online store’s discounts over the last few months), we have had to increase the prices on the website. 

So, while changing the prices we took the opportunity to swap things around a little and start offering free shipping on all UK mainland orders over £20.  This resulted in an overall 15% discount on Games Workshop products, with an extra 1% discount on orders over £100 and 2% on orders over £250 across the store. This ensures that Gaming Figures remains one of the best places online for your stuff.

Other news; at some point this week we will be adding ‘Flames of War’ and ‘GF9’ products to our website. These will be available with a 10% discount off rrp. The ‘GF9’ range is very extensive and offers such things as plasti-card and plastic profiles for all our keen modellers and convertors out there. Also flocks, lichen, mosses, grass and sand for your gaming tables and bases. Also a comprehensive list of hobby tools of fantastic quality.

‘Flames of War’ is a fantastic WW2 game with an excellent set of rules and has some of the best 15mm miniatures we have ever seen. It’s taken all of us here by storm; we just can’t seem to get enough of it.

We are also looking at increasing our product range in 2010, so if there are any particular products you think maybe suitable for us to stock please drop an email to admin@gamingfigures.com

‘Tyranids’ are available to advance order and should be in stock in time for their release date on the 16th January.

‘Beastmen’ are due out in February, closely followed by a host of new 40K miniatures in March to coincide with the ‘Battle Missions’ release.

 Then April; we see the release of the new ‘Blood Angel’ codex. Apparently even more close combat orientated than ever before, if that is indeed possible  J

Once we have confirmation about the products, and their release dates, they will be posted up and available to advance order.

The last day to order to guarantee delivery in time for Christmas is 12 noon on Thursday 17th December. Any orders received after this time may not be delivered in time for the big day.

Gamingfigures.com will be taking a break over Christmas, we will be closed from lunchtime Christmas Eve and not open again until Monday 4th January.  Any orders received in this time will not be processed until we get back in the new year.

2009 was a busy year for Gamingfigures.com and we would like to thank all our customers for their support throughout 2009.  We will of course endeavor to provide the same level of service in 2010.

Both Nigel and myself wish you all the best over the festive season.  Hope your stockings are all full of new miniatures and may all your dice be 6's.

Look out for "Flames of War" figures coming soon...
