Celtos, Slaine and heavy metal Celts
I was quite excited at first glance of the Warlord Games email announcing the Slaine miniatures game . I thought/hoped they'd done the usual Warlord trick and bought up an existing range (in this case the Celtos range from Brigade Models ) and repackaged it. I have a good sized collection of these and a decent set of rules may see them get some use. Alas, on looking into it properly it is a new range of figures for another Warlord "boutique" game. Will it be supported properly or will it just disappear in a year or so? Who knows but it did make me start thinking about Celtos again. This has been the only fantasy game I've really gone for. I really like the Celtic mythos which I'd first been introduced to as a lad through Michael Moocock's Corum books. I was also drawn to the superb artwork by Clint Langley who did the Slaine art in 2000AD and I really liked the overall game concept. I got into the game from the early days in 2002....
