Dave McAlister — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 08:16:31 +0000

Five years ago, Arion Games was born, with the release of their first set of Paper Miniatures. Since then they have produced a further 110 Paper Miniature sets, have re-released the classic Maelstrom RPG along with 5 support products, and have written and published the Rolemaster:Rome book.

Thanks to the more than 5,000 customers they have had in that time, they have grown out of all recognition, and have some very exciting products to come.

To show their appreciation to their customers, they are placing all of their products at 25% off during July at DriveThruRPG. In addition, any customers who spend more than $10 on Arion Games (after discount) during July at DriveThruRPG will receive, at the end of the month, a free copy of their upcoming Alien Warriors set AND their upcoming Cowboys 3 set! All they need is that your account settings allow them to see your email address at the end of the month, so that they can send you the free sets.

The Beastmen are here. If you are a sturdy peasant trying to make a living in a forest cottage, you probably won’t like this news. If you are a member of a remote town militia, you are probably quite worried.

If however you are a GM, planning a fantasy game, you might be very happy. Because here we have Goatmen, Bearmen and all sorts of other Human/Animal hybrids.

Fantasy Court Paper Minis – Nearly free!

Dave McAlister — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 06:50:08 +0000

The free Medieval Court set by Arion Games has been an incredibly popular set, acquired by more than 3,000 people so far. We have always had a hankering to do another, and here it is. With more of a “Fantasy” feel than its predecessor, it nonetheless offers a few court personages and a good selection of guards, either to protect the body and welfare of your characters, or indeed threaten the same. Although we cannot offer this set for free, we can however cut the price down to a bare minimum: 31p!

So whether you are looking for a retinue for the goodly king or the henchmen of an evil lord, this is the set for you.

Arion Games and Precis Intermedia Join Forces

Dave McAlister — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 08:35:12 +0000

Arion Games and Precis Intermedia, two leading publishers of paper miniatures, join forces to offer their vast collections in one place. In addition to the Ennie Award-nominated Disposable Heroes(R) collection, Precis Intermedia will now also offer Arion Games’ beautifully-rendered collection for even more variety (adding all sets over time). To complete this partnership, the two publishers are slated to create joint sets, combining Arion Games’ artwork with the flexibility of Disposable Heroes’ customizable options, such as labeling, numbering, and the ability to create armies. Additionally, Precis Intermedia can also print Arion Games’ sets in full-color and ship them to you as an option.

Arion Games was formed 4 years ago, and since then has produced nearly one-hundred sets of paper miniatures, comprising over 2,100 individual figures. With a huge range covering fantasy, sci-fi, historical, modern and even fairy tales, Arion Games has something for every game. Order Arion Games’ paper miniatures via Precis Intermedia using this link.

Precis Intermedia incorporates one of the first e-publishing RPG companies and produces both tabletop and roleplaying games, as well as accessories like Disposable Heroes Paper Minis. Disposable Heroes are available in two downloadable formats, Customizable and Statix, as well as pre-printed sets.

Customizable Disposable Heroes are full color, downloadable paper miniatures that can be customized through an online interface. Specify the figures that are downloaded to a PDF file, and whether they are labeled and/or numbered. Entire pages of duplicate figures can also be downloaded, making the creation of armies a breeze. Each set is available as A-Frame Stand-ups, Tri-Fold Stand-ups, and Flat Counters. When printed, the minis are sharp and detailed.

Statix Disposable Heroes consist of beautifully-illustrated, ready-to-print paper miniatures in the same three formats but as a single, convenient download. For those who need armies, Statix sets give you just that–a filled sheet of each figure in each of the three formats, along with sequential numbering to keep track of duplicates.
