Hello All, Here is new pic for your enjoyment: This model is called the "Hoarding Beast"!! Here are some words from our Dragon Lord Ben: We have created our cute little American Company and as soon as its “Birth Certificate” arrives in the mail off we go to the wild land of Seattle (2.5 hr drive) to get a bank account for which we need to finalize our KS account. THEN WE LAUNCH THIS DAMN THING…!!!!!!! So as you can we are almost there!! Keep your eyes open.... Cheers Mike

Hello Folks, Just wanted to let everyone know that things are moving along smoothly in terms of model design and production. Keep your eyes and ears open for the Drake KS campaign. Here are some words from our great dragon lord Ben: "Models, rules, updates, new website, stretch goals, new resin castings, new video, plenty of new releases, better staff structure, better contingency, better marketing plan." As you can see things are coming together for a great kickstart campaign! Remember you can always check things out at actiongamesminiatures.com Cheers Mike

Hey folks, Hello everybody. Production is coming along well and we are excited with what we've got for you. We have been working hard to make the game world feel alive. There have also been a lot of logistical and technical aspects that we have been working on.Today we had a look at one of our dragons at the casting and sculpting workshop. The detail is unbelievable. The design is so intricate that the workshop has had to invent new ways to do the job. Producing this project is a lot of fun for us, but we want to make sure that we can deliver the game as promised and we want to avoid some of the problems that plague many Kickstarters - especially the successful ones*so the start date for kickstart campaign could be moved between 8 Feb - 15 Feb 201 what can I say the people at Drake want this to be a top shelf production. We are receiving a lot of messages from people all over the world, telling us how much they are looking forward to wielding armies led by mystical dragons. It's a thrilling project to be a part of and we are as excited as the rest of you to see it all come to life. The wait will not be a long one. Remember to check out the forum at action games miniatures. Cheers Michael

All, The game of DRAKE combines elements of CCG’s (Collectible Card Game’s) with high quality white metal miniatures of beautiful Dragons and their deadly minions. Each force has their own separate deck of spell cards, many of which can be played to interrupt the actions of opponents. Creation and Construction cards allow you to “Summon” warrior beasts, flying enchanted creatures, and powerful energy nexus’ as you need them on the battlefield. Enhancement cards give you many options to “Beef up” your troops with deadly ability bonuses. Human servants as well as the great Dragons smaller minions called “Cousins” form the starting tabletop troops of your force. Everything else is called forth as you need it! Check out the Kickstart campaign starting the first week of February!

Drake will be displaying both, completed painted and unpainted models, completed 3D renders, as well as a few silhouettes during the campaign. Rish you will not see until a bit into the campaign but Saan Dragon and Garrick Dragon should be printed and painted along with a few others. Many, Many more sculpts are on their way to the printers and it will probably be 2 weeks into the campaign before they are ready to be displayed. We have so much to show, in total we are reaching close to 50 models in production and hopefully most of them will be printed and displayed during the campaign So as you folks can see the Drake KS will have a lot to display for your consideration! Come check it out on KS starting the first week of February! CHEERS Michael Just have an update regarding the pending Drake KS:

Different poisons for different moods....

Presenting our Drakes first Character, Princess Acadia! DRAKE is not really a human character game, its more about DRAGONS and their deadly beasts, but you did not think we’d leave the heroes out altogether did ya! This River-crest Princess is a survivor. After returning from one of her many journeys into the wild lands to find her family and many ruling noble houses burned to cinders and huge ancient reptiles ruling in their place. She quickly made a point of loudly professing her devotion to the new leaders and claimed that her father was a tyrant, who she always hated (which drew raised eyebrows from those left at court, who knew this to be an outright lie). The Princess volunteered to lead the RISH Dragons advance forces, and most dangerous missions. This puts her in direct contact with the most elite troops (and wildest madmen…) with whom she secretly plants the seeds of rebellion against the RISH! Don't forget Drake will be on Kickstart starting the first week in February! Cheers Michael

Hello All, Here are some important game mechanic details for Drake. Drake is a 28mm Fantasy, small force (IE: model count) combination CCG (Collectible card game) and Table top war-game. This is an even combination of a CCG and Mini game; both elements have equal importance in winning. The cards are very comparable to most other CCG cards in size, texture, and content. They are not just “fog of war” or “random thingy happening” cards but played from a hand you build yourself to craft your own personal strategy and plays. ACTION GAMES MINIATURES is Very proud to have exceptional artists designing the cards. The game involves using a minimum of 30 cards and a maximum of 60 limit cards (3 copies of a card per deck). Max hand size is ten and you draw two cards per turn. Here’s the cool part: YOU PICK YOUR STARTING HAND OF 7 CARDS! Create the tactical situation you desire Here are the card types utilized in the game: CHANT: The Spells! (Only playable on operating models turn…) ENHANCEMENT: The Beef, Buffs, hurtful things, and those things that stick around and do cool stuff. SNAP: BAM, thought you had me didn’t you then Zzzzap! All of the sudden you don’t! Snap cards are a large variety of near instant card effects. The only basic limitation is that you have to play before or after movement or attacks are declared, not during. They can counter and re-counter each other, making strategy and resource management almost as fun as spoiling that satisfied smirk on your opponents face. Hope all this sounds very cool.

Hello All, Just thought you guys might want some info on the forces of Drake. Here is a quck description of the mighty forces which are locked in dealy battle in Drake Rish: The deadly sky raptors. Manipulators of humanity and unfathomably devious, these creatures love war, conquest, and ornate armor. Rish forces use a multitude of human warriors and war machines with fast and efficient spells and summoned creatures Garrick: The great mountain lords. Massive and territorial, noble, but vicious, the Garrick have bent mountain dwelling tribal primitives to their will and defend their lairs staunchly against invaders looking for metal and riches. Garrick forces are full of might. High constitution gives their beasts an almost indestructible quality, while tribes of violent hominids obey their commands without question. What they lack in spell power and complex weaponry they make up for in crushing deadly force! Saan: The Ancient Mystics. Slender beasts with incredible intellects, the Saan have taken total control of the coastal Kaymayuk nation and from their ziggurats legions of Jaguar skin clad warriors march forth to do their will. Saan forces use spell power supremacy to dominate the battlefield. Any who attempt to attack their slim forms must survive the human sacrifice loving zealots that guard them and the chant magic onslaught that follows! Remember the KS campaign starts the first week of February! Cheers Michael

Hello All, Here is a new concept sketch for the Saan faction. The creature as elegant mystical appearence: Enjoy!!

Hello All, Have a new concept sketch to show off from Drake: Also some news the Kickstart campaign for Drake will start around the first week of February!! Make sure you check it out. Peace, Michael
