RUSTED HEROES AT THE ORCCON SHOW THIS
PRESIDENTS DAY WEEKEND FEB. 17th to 19th 2012!
As
war rages on across the lands the Knights of the Rose
have reluctantly agreed to an unlikely alliance with the
savages from the north, the Norse Invaders. With
these combined forces they just might be strong enough to
defeat Duke Rathor and his Dragon Knight Army.
With the battle now at the doorsteps of Duke Rathor’s
strong hold, Fire Keep Fortress. Victory is a
possibility for the combined allies if the alliance will
hold. But grave news has been received that Duke Rathor
has managed to capture Princess Ellsbeth along with
some other heroes and now holds them captive within Fire
Keep Fortress.
With Sir Bailentine leading a small group of
brave knights and Lord Varghoss not to be left out
has volunteered to join in on the expedition along with some
of his trusted Norse Warrior, a few Mercenaries, and
Ancients. They will attempt to infiltrate Fire
Keep Fortress and rescue the Princess and other
heroes!
- Will the alliance hold long enough to defeat the Dragon
Knight Army?
- Will Lord Varghoss keep the alliance or is this the
perfect opportunity to betray Sir Bailentine and the
Knights of the Rose?
- Can they rescue the Princess Ellsbeth and any other
captured heroes before time runs out?
Find out by joining in on the Rusted Heroes Epic Battle
for Fire Keep Fortress at OrcCon 2012 this Presidents
Day Weekend Feb. 17th – 20th.
Thank
you to everyone that came out for the Gatway Show in
Los Angeles, CA. this past Labor Day Weekend.

AUGUST
2010 SUMMER CAMPAIGN - "NORSE RAIDING PARTY"
Here
are the pics and brief captions on the first battle
of our Summer Campaign. The first game
was "The Norse Raiding Party". A band
of Norse Invaders were to invade a Knights
of the Rose City and capture prisoners and
locate the cities gold. If the Norse are
successful at this they will have the ability to
hire Mercenaries for future battles.
We have also continued the play-testing on the upcoming
RHM1010 "The White Knight" character card which you can
see him painted up for this battle. As well as the
upcoming Norse
Invader RHM1009 "Rhinah of the Wild, Shaman" scheduled
to come out later this year, no mini as of yet for her but
we've locked in Patrick Keith for the
sculpting of her. Look for work-in-progress
shots of her in late Aug. 2010.
We
have the newly studio painted RHM1005 "Cromby Bil,
Fusiler" for the Knights of the Rose.
The Fusiliers are part of the Guards of the Rose.
The guards make up a good portion of the Knights of
the Rose's forces. Fusiliers are specialized
soldiers that are both skilled in martial weapons as
will as fire arms. The guards tend to wear lighter
types of armor for firing and reloading quicker
during a battle.

The final thing we were play testing was a new scenario
called "The Rescue". The basic element in this
scenario was to go to a certain numbered location on the
