Product Update: Arid Grasslands Scenery Kit!


Introducing the latest addition to the Instant Scenery Kit series, "Arid Grasslands." This kit contains everything you need to create dry, arid grassland themed bases. The example in my product photo was created using only the provided materials WITHOUT PAINT!

This kit is in stock now and sells for $15 at the Secret Weapon store.

Of course if you can wait until Friday, 29-January you'll be able to get 10% off of that price during the Great Unemployment Sale!

The Great Unemployment Sale of 2010!


I lost my day job last week and rather than a source of great stress it really feels like a golden opportunity. I'm taking the time to change the course of my career slightly and spending the free time working on new products for Secret Weapon. To celebrate I'm offering 10% off of the entire catalog from Friday, 29-January to Sunday, 28-February.

Keep your eyes on the blog; before the week is out I should be introducing another full set of square bases - including 20mm, 25mm, 40mm and cavalry for a full new theme!

User Gallery: Urban Streets


Mike Hughes was kind enough to send along a shot of his Warhammer 40k model, Forge World's Commander Culln of the Red Scorpions, standing on one of the 40mm 'Urban Streets' bases.

Thanks, Mike, it's always nice to see other people's models on Secret Weapon bases!

Product Update: The first bundled discount!


I think that the "Runic Mountain" bases look so good with snow on them that I've bundled two sets of bases and one of the "Instant Scenery Kit - Winter" at a 15% discount.

This bundle will only be available for a limited time so gets your while you can.

To the folks out there that have already purchased more than one set of these bases - DON'T PANIC! - you have a discount coupon coming to you and I can include the bundle in your current order!

Product Update: Runic Mountain 25mm

But wait, there's more! That's right, I'm adding two products to the lineup this month - each the start of a new set of themed bases. This series, Runic Mountain, features highly detailed, realistic rock that has not - I repeat, NOT! - been taken from cork or bark. Each base has been individually detailed and four of the ten have carved runic elements.

This set also combines beautifully with the Instant Scenery Kit - Winter to create a realistic snowy mountain peak setting. I debated whether or not to add sculpted snow onto these but you just can't beat the visual effect of modeling snow.

The master sculpts for this series are brought to you by Michael Hammett.

This product is available for immediate purchase in sets of ten for $10.00 USD. Get a set for 10% off through 18-Jan!

Product Update: Infected Village 20mm

I cannot begin to express how excited I am to introduce the first 20mm square bases to Secret Weapon Miniatures. The infected village series, sculpted by Huw Davies, is a combination of cobblestone and dirt with ooze, tentacles and maggots bringing this scene to life.

These bases were designed to be combined in multiple sets for folks with large units. This allows you to mix and match your bases to create new landscapes.

This product is available for immediate purchase in sets of ten for $10.00 USD. Get a set for 10% off through 18-Jan!

Keep your eyes on this space next week for a giveaway and another product unveiling!
