Tooth and Claw By Chris PeersI’ve just updated the Dinosaurs in Miniature pages with the latest releases and re-releases.

Wargames Illustrated have finished re-releasing the DZ Miniatures prehistoric mammals. They’re also selling a set of rules called Tooth and Claw to tie in with this range. Written by Chris “every other set of rules out there” Peers who has pedigree on this area with Saurian Safari. My copy is in the post, so with luck I’ll be able to post a review soon.

There are also new rules out from Magister Militum called DinoMight and MM continue to expand their range of 10mm figures, now including some non-dinosaurs.

Finally on the pre-historic front Reaper have released a “Jungle Girl with Sabre Tooth Tiger” which is okay-ish except for the huge mold line in the photo and the fact that it’s an idea that’s been done several times before. Very nice cat though.


Meanwhile… It was only a matter of time… Pre-painted, collectible (i.e. random sealed boxes) miniatures for Doctor Who (via Forbidden Planet). They’re by Character Options which is a good sign (they make the very nice DW action figures) and the price is the same as for the Star Wars minis. On the downside (apart from the collectible nature) is the scale, 35mm, and the lack of anything from the classic series. Will I be buying them? They’re Doctor Who miniatures!

Your Punk Band Name Is…


The Drunk Dinosaur

What’s Your Punk Band Name?

Actually, that’s a rubbish name for a punk band but I like it anyway.


Hi [ContactFirstName],

I have a web designer role based in Surrey.

My client is looking for somebody who can work self-sufficient and turn projects round quickly, while maintaining high standards both visually and technically.

If you have any of the following this will be useful.
AJAX, BACK-END BUILT WEBSITE AND Action script.

What is a “BACK-END BUILT WEBSITE”? And does “[ContactFirstName]” know how to build one?

Oh, and of course they can’t tell the difference between a designer and a developer (nor the difference between an adjective and an adverb).
