WITH SALUTE JUST AROUND THE CORNER, WE GIVE YOU AN UPDATE On ALL THINGS CROOKED.
APRIL 2017
NEW RELEASESSpring has sprung and that means Salute is almost upon us. So we have a bunch of new releases for the big day for you to enjoy.
We've added eight female minions that you can tailor with three alternate heads sprues – beret, infantry cap or the obligatory hard hat. Meanwhile you can slide across your bonnet with these two Hero Cops, ideal for leading your lawmen into battle.
RE-RUNS2017 has already seen some eclectic releases. There's the Brittanian Job – two nefarious racing drivers from the pages of the 1967 Annual.
Then we have a Giant Ape, standing a mighty 50mm tall and mounted a 40mm base, to terrorise jungles and skyscrapers alike. Finally Darius, the Man from 2000 is available with a time-warping resin base and two Retired Spies - perfect for taking out around the village.

NEW TERRAIN RANGEWe are delighted to be the proud new owners of the former Pardulon 28mm terrain range sculpted by the talented Jens Beckmann.
Over the coming months we will release new sections of the Pardulon catalogue (including some never before seen sculpts), plus adding new pieces from other sculptors.
The first release started with some handy scatter with a sci-fi theme – crates and barrels to populate your cargo holds and docking bay from this side of the galaxy to the next.
The second wave includes a dozen of the classic Pardulon pieces including modern-day skips (or dumpsters for our American cousins), oil drums, crates, containers and barricades.

COMING SOONIn the monster month of May, we will be releasing our magnificent octopus - the Beast Below (but available to a lucky few at Salute). This four piece resin model is perfect for attacking submarines or being worshipped by island natives. We will also be releasing some vegetable-based villainy in the floral form of two Creepers.
Plus they'll be more terrain releases with the first pieces from the furniture and junkyard ranges (another Salute pre-release if you are at the show).

AND IN OTHER nEWS....
Moving OnCo-founder of Crooked Dice Graeme Dawson has decided it’s time to move on. It’s an amicable split so Graeme is now free to work on his solo album and see other people.
You may notice one change to the catalogue, as the Future Freedom Fighters and Federated Security ranges will be finding a new home with Graeme as he sets up his own new venture. In the meantime you can still get them by contacting Graeme at: [email protected]
7TV CAMPAIGN DAY 2Those lovely folks at Wargames Illustrated are running a second 7TV campaign day on Saturday 1st July 2017.
They are offering players the opportunity to visit their HQ in Nottingham, UK and take part in a Campaign Day based on their cinematic creation 'The Russian Job: Luther's Gambit'.
