The No Trousers Live Show
Well believe it or not this is the name of my latest venture in connecting with my customers and the wider hobby in general. It’s a live Youtube hosted broadcast from my little painting corner deep within MH towers.
Now I’m not an expert painter, so it’s not full of handy hints and tips of how to improve. It’s more a bit of a knock about where you can contribute comments, which I try and answer in my own unique way. Painting may or may not happen, and I whitter on about shop stuff, hobby stuff I’ve seen and all sorts really. Tune in at 8pm Wednesday Evenings on my Youtube channel if you’re curious.
Reaper Miniatures
After a pretty turbulent summer, Reapers UK deliveries are hopefully getting back to normal. Covid has done a pretty good job of making a mess of all our lives, and the good people at Reaper have suffered as much as the rest of us. Also, the UK arm has moved to a new warehouse, which is why their stock levels have been so low lately. The move is now complete and so things should be getting back to whatever the new normal is for this crazy year.
The shop has also been updated with their latest metal releases. The characters of Brinewind are making an appearance, so that means Pirates !
Otherworld Miniatures
The Otherworld stock is still on sale. I’m running my stocks down so take advantage and grab a bargain before they’re all gone.
Darksword Miniatures
I’ve expanded the in stock range of their Game of Thrones inspired miniatures. You can find them under ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ in the shop’s listings. As with all Darksword miniatures they are perfectly sculpted, but are designed from the descriptions in the books, not the TV series. Some require assembly and all need painting.
So that’s about it for this update, see you on the No Trousers Show

New year, but farewell to Blogger.
Happy 2016 to all my customers, old and new.
2015 was a productive and rewarding year, and I'd like to thank everyone who made a purchase, comment, like, share and retweet. Without all of you I wouldn't be able to do what I love doing, and that's being knee deep in miniatures all day :)
With the start of the new year it's also a good time to recap on how the shop has progressed. The big behind the scenes change has been the reorganisation of the storage area. I'm now able to hold much more stock then I was previously. Stock levels will continue to grow in 2016, and with the Reaper Bones II releases now complete, I'm happy to say new stock will, on the whole be metal miniatures. More Dark Heaven Legends, and the start of the Warlord range to support the game rules. Of course quite a few of the metal Warlord range are already released in bones plastic, so warbands can be put together quickly, and cheaply.
Otherworld stocks will continue to grow, as too will the pre-owned section. I've got lots more to put up there as and when time permits.
This is also a good time to try something new with regard to marketing and letting you all know what's new in the shop. For the past few years I've used Windows live writer linked through to blogger software. Sadly Google, blogger's owner, now no longer support it. Also you're now going to need a Google account to follow the blog, those that don't are being removed. Further on I can see Blogger going the way of the dodo, so after today I won't be posting there anymore.
As all we small business owners know, Facebook limits the amount of people that see our posts. I can understand this to a point as they need to make money from a site that only has its membership as a resource. However the numbers are so low that for a micro business like MH it's hardly worth posting. Some companies have resorted to setting up group pages, which do get better post viewing figures. However I fear it won't be long before Facebook cotton onto this and restrict it too.
So this just leaves the good ole Newsletter which I'll be using as my main means of updating you all. I've linked it to both my Facebook pages and my twitter feed too, well hopefully :/. The drawback is that I can't email too many pictures or the size of the mail becomes silly. So it'll just be one or two in future linking to the New products part of the MH site.
So with that ramble out of the way, on to a bit of news.
As previously mentioned the last the the Reaper Bones II kickstarter miniatures have gone on general release. They've also been extra busy and released a few new metals too.
Darkstar Inks are up in the shop too, along side their excellent range of metallics.
Just click on the picture to go to the New products section.
