Crooked Dice Game Design Studio | Wargaming in the world of cult TV

We are nothing if not eclectic. This month we have three different releases. First off we have the Brittanian Job – two nefarious racing drivers from the pages of the upcoming 1967 Annual. Next we have a Giant Ape, standing a mighty 50mm tall and mounted a 40mm base, he can terrorise jungles and skyscrapers alike.

New Terrain range

And last but not least, we release the first in our new 28mm, 1/50 scale resin terrain line. We are delighted to be the proud new owners of the former Pardulon range sculpted by the talented Jens Beckmann. Over the coming months we will be releasing new sections of the catalogue, plus adding new pieces from other sculptors.

So the first release is 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. There are nine new pieces available – sculpted by Jens, Ernst Veingart and Andre Chiquette.

Moving on

01 Feb 2017

Co-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. Karl will now have the top floor of Crooked Towers all to himself – so he may finally take down Graeme’s signed photo of Bob Holness.

But never fear, miniature and rules production will continue uninterrupted, with new lead releases and 7TV second edition rules coming thick and fast. 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: info@beastinthebroch.com

So we want to wish Graeme every happiness for the future and a massive thank you for shaping the company, rules and 7TV community over the last decade.

Yes, it’s 2017 and no sign of the future yet. Meanwhile, back in the present, we have released two excellent Henchmen (one very big, one very small) and two new miscreants in our Villains 3 deal. In other news, we’ve now become a Limited Company. Which might stand for limited intelligence, we’ll let you know when we work it out.

Holding out for a hero

01 Dec 2016

Four more heroes have been added to the ranks this month. Two kick-ass Angels of Justice join an Investigative Academic and a Dependable Deputy. This intrepid pair of consulting detectives are masters of disguise, so come with an alternative set of heads (pictured). All four are available for £15 or £4 each.

Get Away from it all

01 Nov 2016

Some more new releases! We were worried that the future freedom fighters were going to catch their death out there in that flimsy, retro space gear. So now they are all wrapped up in cozy parkas, ready to land on unknown worlds without the worry of catching the sniffles. You can pick up a pack of all six models for £15.

To Protect and Serve

01 Oct 2016

We have a torrent of releases this month with 16 new models, a resin vehicle and a new starter cast. And if that’s not enough two new decks of profile cards and a new starter deal for 7TV!

We are the law!

So the 16 models are the Lawmen. Four packs of four law enforcement officers (£10 each) that you can tailor with either City Cops, Sheriff or Security Guard heads. Loads of head and weapon options as well as a sweet deal of all 16 for £30. These heads are also available separately, as are the weapons (Pistol, Rifle, SMG) and police accessories from these packs on a couple of new sprues.

Let’s off-road!

Next up is a new resin Land Rover – a staple vehicle from many an action series and perfect for transporting your 7TV casts. Only £15.

It’s criminal

The mini releases are topped off with a new Crime starter cast – a collection of nefarious models at £15 – it’s a steal.

New profile cards and FFF programme guide

Two new packs of profile cards are no available: the long awaited SHIVA programme guide profile cards (36 cards for £5); and the double-sized Future Freedom Fighter profile and gadget cards (a whopping 92 cards for £12). You can also download the 36 page Future Freedom Fighters PDF (£6) that contains all the FFF cards as well as some new episodes.

And finally, get started

Want to play 7TV, but not sure which models to choose? Well we try and make it easier with a bargain price on two starter casts (just £5 each!) when you buy the boxed set in this starter deal. That’s £60 for the lot! Cry me a river!
