In the scope of changing our production from plastic to metal, Kraken invites you to rediscover all our plastic references with a price decrease of 30%.
This offer is not time restricted and will last until our plastic miniatures stock is gone.

The future is on its way and will be written in metal capitals !
It is now official, the Alkemy ranges moves from plastic to metal. The main reason for this decision was the time to market for our products.

What does this mean ?
We hope to be able to move from a plastic production that took many months to a production that will require but a few weeks. We consider smaller releases (2 to 3 miniatures) every 6 to 8 weeks.
The offer modification will be the packaging: we move on from boxes to blisters, except for some products, like the collector boxes.
The first metal/blister release is scheduled for beginning of july, with the Belluarus, Khergars and Aurlok Hive Throwers.

What about the plastic range ?
This one continues to exist. The move to metal is only for the new references.

Resin Collector Boxes
After some issues, the boxes are finally available in your shops.

Mornea Collection
The month of June will see a newcomer in the Mornea Collection Range: Ca'apiti, the hallucinated toad Aurlok in a magnificent 54 mm sculpt by Remy Tremnblay !

Salute 10
We remind you that we will be present on the Salute '10 fair in London this saturday !
Do not hesitate to pay us a visit on the booth TE05. You can discover Alkemy there: initiations, check out the studio miniatures and the upcoming releases...
It is also an opportunity for you to get the special edition miniatures.

Since it is the first time we go to the salute to meet the british gaming communities, a special offer is available: for three boxes purchased, the cheapest is free !
Hope to see you there !
