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.

Tournament Report - Frostgrave Campaign Day: Hunt for the Golem (Lords Of War 2016 Summer Tournament)

I finally finished painting up my Frostgrave Cultists and got in my first game of Frostgrave. Just like the first time that I played X-Wing, my first game of Frostgrave happened at a Tournament. For me, playing Frostgrave in a tournament setting is a bit of an odd thing because…

In this video, I review the British Riflemen Miniatures set by Wargames Atlantic. If you are looking for a high value miniatures company that gives you plenty of figures for your gaming dollars, you will like this company too. These miniatures are from Wargames Atlantic's Napoleon's Wars line of figures. Come check them out in my very quick review.

In this video, I review the Enlightened Faction Sickle Gyro-Cav for Wild West Exodus. In it, you will see what is in the box, watch me build it and I share some scale comparison images as well. This miniature to me is what you would get if you combined a Steam Punk Zombie with an Alien Saucer. A really interesting mini indeed. Special thanks goes to @OnTableTop for sending me this model. Wayland Games happens to own OnTableTop and they also own @WarcradleStudios (the makers of Wild West Exodus).

In this video, I take a close look at (and assemble) a Hellbringer Drake for Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings by Para-Bellum Games. In this review, I show you the model, the pieces on the sprue and a scale comparison too. Overall, it was a very pleasant build. For those interested in the build experience, I outline how it was for me and make mention of the mistakes that I made while working with the model. There were two. If you are interested in this miniature for yourself, take a look at the Para-Bellum Website.

Both ship to all over the world. https://affiliates.waylandgames.co.uk/idevaffiliate.php?id=1084&url=3036 [Affiliate] As you will see in the video, this model is extremely large and is a part of the Dweghom faction of Conquest. It is a really cool miniature and is essentially a living and breathing piece of artillery for the Dwarfs in The Last Argument of Kings. Now, let's talk about what is in this video.

In this video, I review the 28mm WW2 French Resistance Partisans miniatures by Wargames Atlantic. These great looking miniatures could give you the perfect model to represent your Resistance Fighters in Bolt Action and other 28mm miniatures games. Wargames Atlantic sent me these miniatures for review. At the time of publishing this video, these models are out of stock on Wargames Atlantic but are expected within the month for those wanting to get their hands on these. The link to these models on the Wargames Atlantic website is... https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/world-ablaze/products/partisans-1-french-resistance In the interest of full disclosure, Wargames Atlantic sent me these miniatures for review purposes. In no other way was I compensated for this video. I also reserve the right to give my full opinion on the product. Overall, I think they are really nice models with a budget friendly price. Certainly worth a look if you are looking to build a few squads of partisans, or a full army. This video contains many high quality images and a scale comparison between miniatures for Bolt Action by Warlord Games and these figures by Wargames Atlantic. Related Links...
