KR Multicase

The good people over at KR Multicase sent me three different cases to review. Thanks guys!

First up is the 40k styled version, this case features foam trays to fit Primaris Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines. It comes with a single tray to fit most normal space marines sized miniatures, with a second deeper tray to fit larger scaled miniatures such as Custodians or Terminators. The other layer has enough space to accommodate two Redemptor sized dreadnoughts with two other sections to fit something else like attack bikes or landspeeders.

I use this to transport either my Custodes army, with each section fitting the larger miniatures perfectly or I use it to transport my Konflict 47 British army, with all three light Guardian walkers, larger medium sized walkers like the Grizzly sitting comfortably next to my 17pdr anti tank gun! You can fit a decent sized force into this one case, it even accomadates my Legions of Azog Gundabad Trolls, fitting them both in safely and securely.

The second case is designed for the Flames of War Team Yankie system, featuring spaces for artillery, infantry, tanks and a tray specifically designed for helicopters and planes. Like the others it's all precut tear out foam, and can fit a full force within.

The third  is designed for Adeptus Titanicus. Inside you will find a tray to fit four Warhound titans, cards and gaming aids, a Reaver Titan and a Warlord Titan. It features compartments to fit in all the dice and gaming aid you need, including space for the decks of cards.

The toughened cardboard box is well known to be very durable, and each of the foam trays can of course be bought seperately to create your own bespoke case. KR also do metal hardcases which are even more durable and can soak up alot of punishment while keeping your minis firmly safe and sound.

I have been using KR for a while now having bought 3 standard sized army boxes about 5 years ago, and they still hold up today.

Go check out the awesome range that they do and they have trays and boxes to accommodate many different gaming systems for a reasonable price.

For more on KR Multicase see their website for details and you can even create your own army case with a vast selection of trays to suit whatever you have in your collection.

Victoria Miniatures Tanks

This time around I'm taking a look at Victoria Miniatures based in  me with tAustralia.provided They very kindly sent me a selection heof goodies to review so thank again guys!

First up is the Kangaroo APC and Matilda battle tank.



The Matilda Battle Tank comes with options to have side sponsons, and also has space to attach magnets should you wish to swap out the parts

The Kangaroo hull sides come in two seperate parts and it's worth measuring up the sides with tracks to make sure they fit properly.

These make great alternatives to a Leman Russ and Chimera tanks. The models are a little costly to buy when compared to GWs plastics, but don't forget GW sets the prices in countries like Australia very high for there own products, so these reflect that, and make a great choice for fielding in a Astra Militarum or other sci fi force.

They are made from high quality resin and are fantastic to put together. Minimum flash and the clean up and build was very quick, with just a few instances of cutting off flash and cleaning up mold lines.

All the parts go together seemlessly and the turret weapons are interchangeable and each kit comes with a decent choice and can also be swapped between the two tanks giving great customisation.

There is space to put magnets into the side sponsons should you wish to change out the weapon loads. The APC also has space for a magnet on the front of the hull to swap out the hull mounted heavy bolter or flamer.


The Kangaroo APC comes with a heavy flamer and heavy bolter for the hull whilst the turret has a laser cannon, twin heavy bolters or twin heavy flamers whilst the Matilda  comes with large cannon (Vanquisher) , standard battle cannon, or twin autocannons.

Overall these are fantastic models, full of character and the details are super sharp. Looking forward to using these on the tabletop!

House Lancaster Gaming

NEWS:

Hello all! It's been far too long!

Here's a little catch up, what has been happening and a little profile of House Lancaster.

Wargaming has been my passion for over 25 years, and I love every aspect of it! In the past I have personally run around 8 gaming clubs in the North West area of England.

House Lancaster Gaming has grown from strength to strength in the past six years of its creation. We play a vast multitude of differing games systems, and have recently started a D&D night.

We are currently located upstairs at the Robert Gillow pub in the centre of Lancaster, Tuesday nights are for wargaming whilst D&D runs on the Monday.

We are currently looking for a much larger venue as we only have enough space for a certain number of games on the Tuesday. So watch this space.

It has been a long ass time without much being written! Due to my own personal situation I have had to concentrate on other issues for the past two years so apologies for the lack of content.

There will be alot more content on the way, with articles for Warlord Games, Mantic Games and Games Workshop all in the drafting stage.

Lots more historical articles, including unit profiles, battles, weapons and tactics.

More battle reports, including videos, interviews and more.

One imminent release will be one on mental health, and how my experience of this hobby has saved lives, and has helped many others on a similar level.

So...lots going on and I look forward to sharing all the content with you all again!

"Once more into the breach dear friends...."

Thanks!
