It may be cold, but it's not Ardennes cold! |
Welcome to another installment of the Rivet! Here at the warehouse we've enjoyed a day of warmth, freezing rain, and a blizzard. And that was only through Tuesday! We're here for you though, and have lots of toy soldier news to share.
New items are here from K&C and Beau Geste, Empire figures have been reduced in price, and History Works-Del Prado has some upcoming tanks that look great! Check out all that and more below.

New pieces from the ancient world! The Spartans range expands with 4 new figures to add to your phalanx. Tell the Persians "
Molon Labe!" Not even the Greeks could withstand the might of the Romans however, and this wave of releases has lots more options to help create your Legion.
Finally there are two more figures, one of which is the poet Siegfried Sassoon. There's some very interesting reading both about this man, and from him. Suffice to say, anyone who tells you poets can't be tough never heard of Siegfried Sassoon, who was shot in the head and went on to keep writing!
