We are especially excited about the Clockwork Constructs as they are the first of their kind in the TEOW world.

The Medium Clockwork Construct is our first multipart kit. It comes with the three weapons options detailed in the TEOW Core rules and comes in seven parts to allow you to pose it as you wish.

We hope to bring you some photos of these great miniatures soon.

Cancon 2016

25/01/2016 - Hi All,

The sun has set on another Cancon weekend. We would like to thank all those who stopped by our stall. We got through so many demo games, miniatures and are down to our last rulebook.

So much support from the gamers at Cancon, we can't thank you enough.

Big shout out to the Fragged Empire crew, Jolt Games, Laser Touch, The Hall of Heroes & event organisers. You were all fantastic.

See you all again next year!!


Highguard Swordsman

Picture
11/12/2015 - Hi All,
Another new render for you. We have a Highguard Swords-person for you tonight. Given that the visor is down on the helmet it could be a Human or an Elf.

We have two more for this batch of Highguard. We have a Faun and a Goblin up next before they go into production.
​

We hope you enjoy.
​

PS: As always, please remember that items may be embellished in renders to accommodate the 3D printing process.

Highguard Dwarf Warrior

Picture
31/10/2015 - Hi All,

The latest warrior to march out from the Highguard training fields is this Dwarf Female Warrior.

Note that some of the features may seem over exaggerated this is due to having to the sculptor having to exaggerate pieces so that the 3D printer can pick up the detail.

Highguard Elf Runecaster

Picture
2/10/2015 - Hi All,

Our latest Highguard render. A female Elf runecaster.

Hope you like it

Highguard Orge

Picture
Picture
16/09/2015 - Hi All,

Our first Ogre has finally arrived. Our latest render. A Highguard Ogre. Hope you like it.



Highguard Marches Forward

Picture
Highguard Male Orc
03/09/2015 - Hi All,

Tonight we have the first of many new sculpts from our new sculptor Joe. Joe is currently applying his skill to produce our range of Highguard miniatures for Twelve Elements of War with more factions to follow in the future.

Above is Joe's first sculpt for us, a fearsome Highguard Orc with a Great hammer. We think it looks great and can’t wait to see the rest of the range.



New Product on the Horizon



02/09/2015 - Hi All,

As work continues on our Twelve Elements of War miniatures range, we are excited to announce that we are in the process of creating our first card game.

Set in the Twelve Elements world, the murky back streets of the Port city of Arcadia will be yours for the taking?

We are working hard to have a working demo ready for play at Cancon 2016. With a loose release date for 2016.

Stay tuned

Faun Ranger

Picture
03/04/2015 - Hi All,

It's been sometime since our last update. So, here we have the Faun Ranger. This and the previous four renders will be sent off now for print and manufacture.

Note: We know the left arm looks a little strange in the render. However its due to the angle.

Shadow Hold Troll now in stock

24/02/2015 - Hi All,

We are pleased no say that the Shadow Hold Troll is now in stock on our webstore.

Recent Interview

16/02/2015 - Hi All,

We did an interview recently with OzDestro who came and visited our booth at Cancon 2015. The interview may give you a bit more of an idea of what we where thinking of when we created Twelve Elements of War. CLICK HERE to read the interview.

Five new miniatures will be added to the webstore tonight. Photos of the actual miniatures will follow latter this week. (Our camera is suffering from technical difficulties).

Pre-orders have Shipped

02/01/2015 - Hi All,


Welcome to 2015 

All pre orders have now shipped. If you have not yet received a shipping confirmation (check your junk folder) please get in touch with us via the contact us form on our website.

Dwarf Bandit Hunter

Picture
31/12/2014 - Hi All,

As we leave 2014 behind us and celebrate the New Year we have yet another 3D render for you all. This Dwarf Bandit Hunter roams the wilds of Dothmora bringing those who have fled justice to Trial and then swift execution. 

He may be employed by one of the great factions, he may be a freelancer claiming bounty's. The choice is yours. We hope you enjoy.

Have a fun and safe New Year.

Pre-orders are Shipping

30/12/2014 - Hi All,

The first lot of miniature preorders have shipped today. 

For those who have placed a preorder with us, keep an eye out in your inbox of the email address you supplied with your order for shipping confirmation.

All preorders will ship by the end of the week.

Miniatures will be available to purchase on our webstore next week.

Merry Christmas & a happy New Year

25/12/2014

All of us at Sword & Board Games hope you have a Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year.

Production Update

24/12/2014 - Hi All,

Some good Christmas news. Customs informs me that they have the miniatures and will release them on the 29th. (It would be released sooner but due to the Christmas/boxing day holidays plus a weekend there will be that delay) 

So, baring any issues out of our control, pre orders will start shipping early next week.

International Rulebook Orders

16/12/2014 - Hi All,

Some great news for our US, UK & European customers who want to get their hands on our Twelve Elements of War rulebook. As you may know, in the past we have indicated that we were concerned that the amount of postage paid by our overseas customers was too much (not our fault, talk to our national postage provider) and would put people off purchasing the book.

The great news is that we are in the final stages of putting our softcover rulebook on “Wargame Vault”. What this means is that for our international customers, you would buy our book through Wargame Vault and they will ship it to you from either the USA or UK. This means cheap and reasonable postage.

We envisage this process to be sorted by January some time. We will keep you updated on this…… 


Production Update

16/12/2014 - Hi All,

Just an update on pre-orders and retail stock. Sadly our manufacturer is running a week behind on our order so as yet we have not received it. We can only apologise to our pre order customers who have been waiting patiently for their orders to ship. When pre-order customers do receive their orders, keep an eye out for a discount voucher for your next purchase as a thank you for your patience.



Jaded Noble

Picture
18/11/2014 - Hi All,


This (Goblin) Jaded Noble has tired of all the petty politics engulfing the Eastlands of Dothmora. She has set out to right wrongs and bring evildoers to justice. Who justice?, well that remains to be seen. Does she have ulterior motives? No one is sure. Armed with her ancient two handed rune sword, it is fair to say that her justice will be swift and painful. 

Production Update

Picture
8/11/2014 - Hi All,

Just an update on the miniatures and their production. Maxmini has confirmed that the miniatures will be shipping from them on the 18th of November. Allowing 3 weeks for them to travel across the world and pass customs, they will start shipping on the 10th or 11th of December.

Some added goodness will be that 5 of the new miniatures will be available for purchases when this batch arrives. So for those who already have pre-orders and would like to include the new miniatures, we will post some pics up so you can choose if you want to add them to your order.

In the mean time, please enjoy this updated render of 6 of our newest miniatures. Changes have been made to some after feedback (Note: That they are not to scale, just for enjoyment)

The Beast Slayer

Picture
14/10/2014 - Hi All,

Stalking the lands of Dothmora, the Beast Slayer tracks her prey. Armed with her heavy crossbow and axe, she stays her targets from range or up-close and personal. The Beast Slayers skills work equally as well on battlefield targets as they do on wild beasts.

Also, for those who have pre orders, the miniatures have joined Maxminis production queue. We will keep you updated on their progression.

Dwarf Highguard "Survivor" Runecaster

Picture
01/10/2014 - Hi All,

Of the thousands of troops who marched north under the banners of Highguard during the Schism, only 273 brave soldiers survived the Battle of North Pass. These were no cowards, living only because they threw away their arms and fled the crimson field, but heroes who fought long and hard defending the Sun Standard of Highguard, the personal emblem of the royal house.

Surrounded on all sides by mounds of their fallen comrades intermingled with the torn corpses of Guildsmen, these troopers refused to surrender. Again and again the Mining Guild hurled its warriors against them, but they stood firm, a resolute wall of blood-stained steel and bleeding flesh. Eventually, after hours of fighting, it is said that Guild Father Ashorok himself descended from the mountainside to parley with these men. He allowed them to return to Highguard, their honour intact, still carrying the king’s standard.

King Victor formed these heroes into an elite fighting force known as The Survivors, the guardians of the Sun Standard and personal bodyguard of the king in battle. In the twelve years since their formation, some of the original members have retired or died, and competition to enter this elite unit is fierce. Only the most determined of Highguard’s soldiers are admitted, and only after a gruelling induction trial that claims the lives of many of its participants. The king decreed that the unit would only ever contain 273 individuals, and this tradition continues to this day. With scarlet tabards draped over their gleaming armour, and scarlet plumes on their helms to represent the blood spilt by its founder members on that fateful day, these proud soldiers are instantly recognisable, and feted as heroes wherever they go on the streets of Highguard.


Pre-orders Closing Tonight

01/10/2014 - Hi All,

Due to the last minute rush of orders at the cut of time for pre-orders we have kept them open for a little longer. 

However, Pre-orders will close tonight at 700pm AEST. So if you haven't got your order in yet, you haven't got long to go.

Softcover Rulebook Update

29/09/2014 - Hi All,

Due to the ongoing delays from our printer for the softcover rulebook, we have reduced the price of the digital rulebook. We are working hard to find a quick solution to the issues that we are facing.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused. This issues is out of our hands and we thank you for your patience and understanding.
We will let you know once we have any new news.



Pre-Orders are now Available

18/09/2014 - Hi All,

PRE-ORDERS are now AVAILABLE to order on our webstore. Pre-orders will be open until the 28th of September and close at 4:00pm AEST.

Once pre-orders have closed, will send the numbers to Maxmini for production. We will keep you up to date on the production progress.

A few things to keep in mind with the photos. The parts weren’t glued together as these are the miniatures that we are sending to be prepared and painted. All the parts fit together snuggly and the joint gaps are minimal. Any gaps you see in the reorder photos are because of the blue-tac we had holding the parts together. Some of the details will be fine and will need a drybrush or similar technique to really show up on some miniatures.

Photos of the miniatures will be replaced once painted versions are made available. 



A Sneak Peek Straight from the Box

15/09/2014 - Hi All,

Here are some quick pictures of the miniatures taken from a trusty mobile camera. You can see that the majority of the detail has transferred over nicely from the 3D renders. What may be hard to see on some of the miniatures (as the camera kept trying to focus on my hand) are the smaller details. 

These details will become more obvious when the miniatures are painted. For those of you out there who are fans of playing games rather than painting miniatures, these miniatures will look nice with some careful dry brushing over the raised details on the armour. As you can see from the Shadow Hold Troll, these miniatures turn out really nicely when painted.

I hope these pictures have tired you over until the end of the week when we should have the proper photos up with the pre orders. 

Painted miniatures will replace the unpainted ones on the store in due time.

The first 14 have Arrived

15/09/2014 - Hi All,

The first 14 production miniatures have arrived today for evaluation and they are looking excellent. We will do our best to get the unpainted and unassembled miniature pictures available for pre-order as soon as possible.



Stay tuned

PRODUCTION UPDATE

09/09/2014 - Hi All,



Today we have sent of the Arcadian Tax Collector, The Executioner, The Tribal Warrior, The Adventuring Lord and Traveling Scholar off to Maxmini to begin printing and molding.  As soon as we have 5 new renders we will send them off to be printed and molded.


The 14 Shadow Hold & Mining Guild masters are still in transit, but we hope to have them available for pre-order VERY soon.

Arcadian Tax Collector

Picture
05/09/2014 - Hi All,

Arcadia is the Eastlands’ centre of commerce and trade. Arcadia is, without a doubt, the busiest city in all of the Eastlands. The streets are thronged with people day and night, all of them out to get a bargain or sell their wares to the highest bidder.

Whether you’re a merchant berthing your ship at one of Arcadia’s many wharfs, a small back street vendor of fruit pies or one of the major merchant princes, all know that if there is one thing you don’t do in Arcadia, it is not pay your taxes.

The Arcadian Tax Collectors walk the streets of the port city heralded by their infamous call of “BRING OUT YOUR DEBTS”. The mere sound of this call sends shivers down the spine of those business owners who have had a slow week and do don’t have the appropriate taxes ready for collection.

Failure to pay taxes will lead to the business owner being sold into slavery and their business holdings possessed by the shadowy Liquidators on behalf of the Lord of Arcadia.
 


Heading to our First Convention 2015

03/09/2014 - Hi All,

A very special announcement for all our Australian fans. We are heading to our first games convention in Canberra. We will be at Cancon 2015 for 3 days over the Australia Day long weekend. So drop by for a game, buy some miniatures or just have a chat. 

We would love to see you all there.

A Search for Knowledge 

Picture
28/08/2014 - Hi All,


Roaming the Eastland in search of rune knowledge, this Faun Traveling Scholar may appear meek, however, behind this veil of deception hides a formidable runecaster.

Off with their heads

Picture
09/08/2014 - Hi All,

Cloaked in mystery, it is said the Executioner travels the regions of Dothmora dispensing justice where it is needed most. The Executioners story has turned into something of a folklore legend with sightings all over the continent at approximately the same time.

In battle she speaks not a word, hefting her double handed axe with ease and agility, with some warriors saying at a speed that seems almost supernatural.

It is an insane or perhaps misguided Warband commander who deliberately seeks out her services. The ones that are successful, truly have a spirit of death in their midst. 



The Adventuring Lord joins the fight

Picture
27/07/2014 - Hi All,

A very exciting Sunday morning. Today we are happy to preview to you the "Adventuring Lord". 

Bequeathed a meager estate, the Adventuring Lord sold everything and has sought out a life of adventure and excitement with one of the many warbands that's taking part in the Shadow War. 

This miniature would be great to represent a warbands leader or to be a brash warrior finding his feet on the field of battle.

"Phebrickid" appears from the wilds of Dothmora

Picture
14/07/2014 - Hi All, 

While work has begun on the 3D printing and molds for the first 14 miniatures. Our sculptor has been busy bringing our concept art to life.

“Phebrickid” (named by our “name the newsletter” competition winner) the Tribal Orc Warrior certainly (in our opinion) looks epic and we are looking forward to bringing him to you as a miniature later this year.

He still has a few minor things that will be tweaked but he looks fantastic. I think I may have to come up with a new backstory for my warband leader now ;)


Miniatures Update

10/07/2014 - Hi All,


Work is underway on the new 3D sculpts and the first one is looking epic (80% done) When we have a finished product we will have it on here ASAP.


The Mining Guild and Shadow Hold miniatures begin printing next week. This is the time consuming stage of the process, so i can't give you a solid ETA on any type of preview just yet. But stay tuned. 


We hope to have something for you real soon. Once we have signed off on the masters and molds we will put up a pre-order section on the store with pictures of the miniatures (unpainted at this stage). Painted miniature pictures will gradually replace the non painted versions in the webstore. 

IMPORTANT BIG NEWS!!!!!!!

26/06/2014 - Hi All,

On the 22nd our Kickstarter ended unsuccessfully. 

Instead of focusing on the negatives, let’s focus on the positives. George Edward Woodberry once said “Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure”. 

From out of the gloom comes a ray of light. I was contacted by a party from within the industry who wishes to remain anonymous regarding Twelve Elements of War. I am able to show you a snippet of what they had to say.

“We purchased the digital copy of the rulebook from your webstore and have been reading though it and playing an office campaign for the past two weeks. We find that it is simple to learn, we LOVED the lore and mixed race warbands, the game has great replay value and creates some very memorable gaming moments which we understand is what you were aiming to achieve. It’s very sad that Twelve Elements of War hasn't received the attention and funding that we believe it deserves. To that end, we would like to help you get your miniatures produced and available for sale.” 

So, what does that mean for you, the gaming community? Well it means that you will be able to get your hands on the “First Fourteen” Twelve Elements of War Miniatures within months. PLUS, new and exciting miniatures as they are produced. It has to be made clear that our mysterious benefactors are not funding every single thing we have planned for Twelve Elements of War. They are helping us get a good range out there to support the game and hopefully, once this is done the game can support, fund and grow itself.

Some very exciting news to be sure. Looking forward to some fun times ahead. 


Picture
22/06/2014 - Hi All,

Well the Kickstarter has ended unsuccessfully. 

HOWEVER, this is not the disappointment that it appears to be. We hope to have some fantastic miniature related news for you all next week. :)

In the mean time, grab your copy of the digital rulebook to pass the time :)

Lore Preview

21/11/2013 - Hi All,

With just over 9 days to go until our Kickstarter campaign. We though that we would give you a little preview of some of the lore that will be in the core rules. This is a low res screen shot of the heroic tale of the Highguard Survivors. This is just a small snippet of a book full of lore. The book has 42,000 + words of background, histories, Lumria Pantheon, race descriptions, runic magic, traditions to name a few sections.

We hope you enjoy :)


Mining Guild Goblin

14/11/2013 - Hi All,

 With just over two weeks to go before our Twelve Elements of War Kickstarter launches, we have another Mining Guild preview. This Mining Guild Goblin may spring up from anywhere. He may ambush you from a tunnel, he may just drop out of a tree. Chances are you won’t see him coming until it is too late.

09/11/2013 - Hi All,

We thought you may be interested to see the four stages that went into the production of the Shadow Hold Troll. From concept art to 3D Sculpting then to production miniature and finally a finished Troll.

Hope you all have a great weekend.


PictureShadow Hold Female Troll
07/11/2013 - Hi All,

Just over a week ago we showed you our first production miniature, the Shadow Hold Troll. Today we are pleased to present to you the painted version. Painted by Wesley from Centerpiece Miniatures, we went for a pale skin tone and a greyish hair colour. The armour has been given the look of old and poorly maintained. The base is meant to appear as if it was dying.

First Production Miniature Preview

28/10/2013 - Hi All,

Today we are pleased to show you a sneak peak at our first production resin miniature. This Shadow Hold female Troll is 5cm from head to toe and will be the largest miniature (for now) of all the races for Twelve Elements of War.

For Twelve Elements of War we wanted to make sure that we had races that looked in proportion to how they would be in the real world. The heights and physiques of our races will differ from other miniature ranges. However we feel that this sets our gaming universe and miniatures apart from the others.

The team over at Maxmini have done a great job at producing our first miniature with many more on the way in the future. We will be tweaking the armour details a little raising them up slightly.

We have a troll currently being painted up at the moment and hope to bring you some pictures before the Kickstarter in December.


Keep an eye out for information regarding our Kickstarter campaign later this week.
