# Dragonclaw Miniatures

As far as I know, DragonClaw Miniatures have stopped trading and no figures are now available. However, I have still included past info in case there is stock left. After all, it doesn't hurt togive them a call to find out.

Several people were asking about the figures seen at Convulsions 3. They are produced by a company called Dragonclaw Miniatures and back stock can be obtained from:

Dragonclaw Miniatures
1 Kenilworth Avenue
Stretton
Burton on Trent
Staffordshire
UK
DE13 0WB

Tel: (UK) 01283 516825
Tel (Abroad): (+44) 1283 516825

Figure Painting can also be obtained from Steve at

S. McGuigan
48 Norton Lees Road
Sheffield
UK
S8 9BY
Tel (UK): 0114 2819546
Tel (Abroad): (+44) 114 2819546

Orders can be placed at either address. I will be getting a price list at some stage which I will put at the end of this page (although I am not sure when).

Apparently, rumour has it that Dragonclaw Miniatures also have a few figures which were not exhibited at Convulsions. Impala Riders and High Llama Riders figures are available as are Khan and Shaman figures for all the major tribes of Prax. A Troll Spirit and a Mistress Race Troll figure with a troll maul with a skull at the end are also now available.

Several Duck Adventurers will also be available within a couple of weeks as will the Undine-powered Duck Patrol Boat (you've seen Apocalypse Now, imagine the motor boat with hardened Duck veterans in charge - it's very good).

Rumour also has it that the official Gloranthan Figures will be more akin to Games Workshop/ Citadel style figures than the figures at Convulsions. This is a terrible shame, as we can all buy Blood Bowl trolls, chaos elves or whatever whenever we want, but can we get good Gloranthan figures? Still, as long as the figures are there, we may be able to buy them, who knows.

I have heard nothing about Baboon figures, as yet, but would not be surprised if they turned up soon.

More news - hot off the press.

Dragonclaw Miniatures have been given a Licence to produce figures until the end of 1996. Apparently, after Convulsions, they tried to get some info from Greg Stafford regarding selling stock, but nothing was forthcoming. They did not answer any queries regarding DragonClaw and orders, as they did not know where they stood. Now they have the licence until the end of the year, they are taking orders again.

Please send orders to the address in Burton-on-Trent, above.

There are some more wonderful figures out - if you have not seen the figures before, buy one just to see how good they are, then buy more. If you have seen them, then you will not need more encouragement.

Anyway, the new figures are:
  1. Thanatar Broo (Goat Head, Curved Sword, pair of Jabbers, a Stinger and several heads).
  2. Harrek the Berserker (Large man, white bear skin, two bastard swords, a bit angry).
  3. Lunar Hoplite (2H Spear/Shield, Shield design - Goddess Triumphant riding on the Crimson Bat).
  4. High Llama and Rider.
  5. Impala and Rider.

  6. Morokanth Berserker.
  7. Morokanth "Hero" (Has Thumbs and can twiddle them).
  8. Morokanth Priest/Shaman (White robes, big gong, hammer - see it to believe it).
  9. Morokanth (Has whip - kinky).
  10. Morokanth on Sedan with 4 Herd Men Bearers.
  11. Morokanth Slave Coffle (No, the Morokanth are not the slaves).
  12. Dream Dragon (Winged Dragonewt Priest as Rider).
  13. Triceratops (Howdah, 2 Beaked Dragonewt Archers, one Crested Dragonewt Mahout).
  14. Mistress Race Troll Shaman (Female, Summoning Pose).
  15. Male Mistress Race Troll Hero.
  16. Troll Spirit.
  17. Morokanth Spirit.

As you can see, there is a fair bit of work going on here, so place your orders now.

I don't know whether DragonClaw Miniatures will retain a licence after 1996, nor do I know what they will do afterwards. If I hear anything further, I will post it or mail it to the Digest.

More News

As DragonClaw Miniatures no longer have a license to produce Gloranthan Miniatures, they will not be producing miniatures for general sale. However, they are thinking of setting up a DragonClaw Society. Each member would pay an annual fee which would go towards paying for the development of new ranges of figures. Membership of the Society would give the following benefits:

1. Access to the DragonClaw range of miniatures, probably at a discount of 20% on standard list price.
2. Access to the new figures paid for through DragonClaw Subscription at half price.

Figures produced will not be Gloranthan, but will be designed by people who enjoy Glorantha and those within it. They will be available for sale outside the DragonClaw Society with a 20% commision being paid for figures designed for the DragonClaw Society but sold outside the Society, with the commision used to design more figures.

The DragonClaw Society will be a non-profit making Society, dedicated to the production of quality wargaming miniatures designed for the members.

More details will follow as soon as I have more information, probably after the next wargame in February.
