Out latest set of paper minis - The Attack of the Mygnskerö - three fearsome Fungoid invaders, alongside three craft working defenders, hand-drawn in old school black and white is out now.
The theme itself is perhaps a little more up-to-date, with the soulless, semi-sentient fungal automata threatening the lives of creative, crafts people - a fantasy drawn from a current cultural conflict - Vlatkrig as technique, an approach to the world. As ever the figures have been drawn with the authentic Old School materials - Staedtler Noris HB Pencil, vintage Helix Shatterproof ruler, Black Berol Handwriting pen and trusty, soon to be extinct WH Smith A4 5mm gridded paper - the same materials I used when I first got into fantasy gaming in the mid 1980s in Junior School, more than a spectacle of image, truth to materials and embodying a physical connection and continuity with the past.

The Myngskerö
The remnants of a long dead, idiot wizards failed experiments with fungoid automata run wild. A self replicating, constructed fungal infection set loose to kill, break down and decompose all organic matter into a great grey mulch - The Slôp. Rudimentary recursive magical algorithms feed from the creatures absorbed, crudely imitating the making and use weapons of war to advance the Myngskerö's omnicidal program.
Defending their homes and lives are three craft workers, low-level adventurers just starting out on their first adventuring career, bravely turning their tools of trade into weapons against the soul-less fungoid automatons.
