Hello All,
I have just opened a new thread on the Notables Yahoo Group (go along now and join if you are not a member already) to ask for suggestions for the next free upload to the group.
Some of you reading this will know that the Notables is a very busy group which covers many game systems including Flintloque, Slaughterloo, Erin, Typhon, DarkeStorme, Firefight 2.o along with others. With a total of more than 150mb of material uploaded since the start of the group it is THE place to be.
So go along and begin with message number 10702# (click HERE for a link to the message) and make your suggestion. Or you can post it in comments against this posting.
You can ask for material for any Alternative Armies or 15mm.co.uk game system.
Regards,
Gavin.

Back to Work
Hello Everyone,
Pretty quiet in the last week or so. This was due to my being away from the internet for a while, but I am back now. As you can see from the above (not a photo but still pretty much my workspace at this moment) there is a lot to catch up on.
Expect more updates to come and more news too.
As always any questions can be posted here in comments or on the Notables Yahoo Group or directly to Alternative Armies or 15mm.co.uk. It will be sure to reach me.
Speak to you all soon!
Gavin.

OH6 Dogmen Soldiers I
Four canine warriors with a variety of weapons. These savage fellows make excellent mercenaries and freebooters too.
OH16 Dogmen Soldiers II
Four more canine warriors to build up your forces with. Vicious and quiet capable of rending your enemies limb from limb these chaps will do you proud!
Additionally requests from gamers have begun to mount up for some more DarkeStorme material such as a free scenario. If you have any thoughts on what and where then please do comment here or message me directly.
That's All for Now.

Upcoming Posts for Barking Irons Magazine No 2
Good Afternoon everyone,
Today sees me putting this posting up which is going to get your taste buds a sizzling. The next issue of Barking Irons magazine is on its way and will be with you at the end of this month with mailing expected in early June.
With this in mind, as editor, I have decided to make some postings here that will let you all know what the magazine will have in it and to ask me any questions you might have. These questions might be on the articles in the upcoming issue, on the games in the issue, on future issues or even just the result of plain old curiosity.
You can see the spiffing cover of Issue 2 above and yes...that is DarkeStorme it features as a headline. My next posting will be the list of contents for Issue 2 and then after that in the coming days little snippits and artwork and so forth from selected articles.
So for now enjoy the cover and as always if you have questions just post them in comments here or on the Notables Yahoo Group and I will do my best to answer them.
Gavin.
