In this video, I unbox three different Blood & Plunder miniature starter sets, two Bark Ships and two longboats and attempt to fit my entire Blood & Plunder collection into a Feldherr Maxi Plus Case. This video covers a lot of ground. It serves as an unboxing video for many Firelock Games products including ships, miniature starter sets and blister packs of figures and cannons. It also serves as a deeper review of the Feldherr Max Plus case for transporting miniature armies. Finally, this video works as a demonstration video of a feldherr case and some of their specialty trays. Specifically, I show how I work with their pick and pluck foam to fit two Blood & Plunder ships into a single tray for transporting my collection. Special thanks goes out to Feldherr for sending me this case for review. If you want to save some money in purchasing from them, check out the link and Promo Code below.

Introduction to Must Contain Minis

Welcome to Must Contain Minis. We do Reviews, News, Showcases and Battle Reports of miniatures and miniature related products. This site does not focus on a specific system, but rather products by many different companies. My aim is for variety and to show you what alternatives might be out there. 

If you want to know what is on the market by companies aside from the biggest player on the market, you have come to the right place.

In this video, I review the Dystopian Wars Tempelhof Battlefleet box set. this collection is a part of the Prussian Imperium faction within the game by Warcradle Studios. In watching this video, you will get a good quality look a the sprues, the ships and even some scale comparison images too through high quality animated photographs. If you have been wondering about this fleet, or the miniatures in newest version of Dystopian Wars, give this video a watch. All of the ships in this kit you can build in different ways. The Destroyers can be built as either Sigimer or Toten Class Ships. The Cruisers can be built in three different ways. They can be built as the Konrad Carriers, as a Reiter Flak Ship, or as Volsung Class Ships. The Tempelhof Carrier itself can be set up as either a carrier for fighters, or for bombers (the Blitzen Option). In this video, I build all of the variants to show you what you can make from this boxed set. That said, the fleet that I chose to build happens to be the same as what is on the back of the Tempelhof Battlefleet set box art. Now that you know what the video is about, here is the table of contents. Table of Contents... 0:00 Introduction 2:07 Unboxing of the Tempelhof Battlefleet Set 2:34 Resin Parts of the Flagship Carrier 2:57 The Plastic Sprues of the Imperium Cruisers and Destroyers 3:37 Building the Miniatures 5:28 Quick Discussion of some Dystopian Wars Lore 6:53 My Completed Battlefleet 7:25 Scale Comparison Images - Dystopian Wars vs Oak & Iron vs Warhammer 40000 8:17 My Thoughts on the Product Below you will find related links to this article.

In this post, I review 28mm MDF terrain by TTCombat. This time, I am looking at Intermodal Containers. These are essentially cargo or shipping crates for gaming. These boxes come in at an extraordinary price of about 2 Pounds a container. In today's dollars, that is less than $3 each!!! Whether you play Bolt Action, Warhammer 40K or any other modern to Sci-Fi miniatures game, you very well could find a home for these models on your tabletop. If you are looking for affordable tabletop terrain for your gaming tabletop, TTCombat offers some great options at very inexpensive price-points. Although this is not a sponsored video, but there is an affiliate link below. If you buy from that link, a small commission goes to me at no extra cost to you. That is why you see the tag at the start of the video that this is a paid promotion. Related Links...

Again, this is not actually a paid video, and I bought the product myself, but if you use the affiliate link above, I get paid a small commission from your purchase. Until next time, Happy Gaming Everyone!!!

In this video, I quickly showcase my painted 28mm WW2 British soldiers in Kilts by Pulp Figures. I use these as alternative miniatures in Bolt Action. This post contains images of those miniatures as well as a few scale comparison images too. In my opinion, they fit in pretty well with the miniatures by Warlord Games. Now, I wouldn't put them in the same squad, but I see no issue with putting them in the same army. Related Links...

In this video, I showcase some Warlord Games Bolt Action miniatures painted up as Cobra from GI Joe. I also present to you a 200 point Bolt Action Battle Report using the rules for Bolt Action Skirmishes. We actually ran this game as a three way battle as three players showed up to play. Two British forces and one German force would show up for a war of attrition. The last army standing would be the winner. This is my first Battle Report ever on YouTube. If you enjoy it, please give me some encouragement and share it with your friends. A lot of work went into creating this video. I also have the source files from many other Battle Reports on Must Contain Minis. If this video gets a good enough response, I can easily convert them into similarly styled videos.

In this video, I unbox the naval miniatures game Oak & Iron. This tabletop game by Firelock Games pits 1/600th scale model ships against each other in high seas battles. Here, I unbox the core starter set for this game, build the ships and review the contents. The ships inside you can use for any of the playable factions. In this video, I look at the quality of the components in this starter box. I even have a scale comparison to give you a feeling for the size of these miniatures. Firelock Games describes the game as follows... Oak & Iron is a 1/600th scale naval game set in the age of piracy, imperial expansion, and above all, fighting sail. It allows players to recreate battles between small fleets and squadrons of armed sailing ships. The game is designed to be simple and intuitive while also challenging players by providing significant tactical depth, being true to the theme and tactics of the period, and supplying significant flavor for the various factions represented in the game. I would like to send out a thank you to Firelock Games for sending me this copy of Oak & Iron for review. I would also like to state that there are links in the description below that earn me a small percentage of your purchase price at no extra charge to you. Those links are denoted with the word “Affiliate” to keep you informed. As an FYI, this box set comes with 1/600th scale, easy build, model ships of a sloop, brigantine, light frigate, fluyt, corvette, and a galleon. Other ships are available too, but this video focuses on only what is in the Oak & Iron Starter Set.
