In Her Majesty's Name from The Ministry Of Gentlemanly Warfare is now available as part of a 2nd Edition and North Star Military Figures has joined forces with them to offer up a selection of 28mm metal miniature packs!
In Her Majesty's Name // The Ministry Of Gentlemanly Warfare
More information on this new edition of the game can be found HERE where the team behind it has also talked about some of the changes. You can also find a lot of free content that you can use to build on your experience with the game as well. You can venture into a fantastic Victorian Science Fiction world and make your own Adventuring Company!
As well as the new book, you can also pick up a selection of these pre-made Adventuring Company sets from the team at North Star Military Figures. They have collected together a range of metal miniatures to make themed forces.
Lord Curr's Company // In Her Majesty's Name
I have shown off a few of them here which caught my eye in particular. I do like the style of this game and I think there is a lot of scope for fun tabletop games with these rules and miniatures. Pulp and Steampunk adventure is certainly an area that it would be neat to delve into a little more.
The Black Dragon Tong // In Her Majesty's Name
There is plenty to get you started in In Her Majesty's Name over on their webstore where you can also pick up the rulebook and a selection of terrain which would be suitable to the setting. I love that we have some very typical "Sherlock Holmes" characters in the mix and then those who are a little more crackpot!
The Society Of Thule // In Her Majesty's Name
Who wouldn't want to command a set of Tod-truppen Zombies under the watchful eye of the Prussian military? I have shown off just three of the Adventuring Company sets here but there are seven in total, all of which takes things in a very different direction.
Are you tempted to dive in and pick these up?

Nice that’s the kings of New York, deadwood, an penny dreadful/city of angels, got fabulous new figures to game with.
These have been around a while but they’re excellent minis. I picked up the Brick Lane anarchists. Quite fancy a few of the other crews too.
I have pre-ordered the rule book. I have plenty of suitable figures from Empire of the dead I can use but that usually doesn’t stop me from buying more and the deal on the gangs does look pretty good.
Although Nick has been kind enough to provide these wonderful sets, the game is completely figure and base agnostic.
Always a big plus for me when it comes to a rule set. With the plethera of skirmish games these days I finally find uses for all the random figures I buy just because they look great.
As gamers ourselves, one of our design principles has that our games should be playable with the figures the players already have, or want to source themselves. As you only need 5-15 figures many gamers have what they need. That said, the figures that Nick had designed for the original launch in 2013, sculpted by Steve Saleh and Mike Owen, are rather good. As you might expect I have all of them, along with figures from Artizan’s FOG range, Reaper’s Chronoscope range, Westwinds’s Empire of the Dead, Western figures from Lucid Eye, vehicles from Sarissa and Ironclad, walkers from Ironclad… Read more »
The latest news is that the first print run has been dispatched from our Printers in Lithuania and should arrive (customs willing) at North Star Miniatures sometime next week. I’ll let you know as soon as they are physically available.
I picked up the original IHMN not long after it’s release and even though my initial read-through had me chomping at the bit to give it a go, sadly too many other things got in the way and it has been languishing on a shelf ever since. Your article (along with the material from the supplied links) inspired me to not only blow the dust off my copy, but also to get together an order for the new version and some companies – one of which just *HAS* to be The Society of Thule. I mean, who can resist playing… Read more »
Its a game that I’ve always been tempted by but never picked up as it was always one game too far (who am I kidding, there’s so many games I want they’re mostly one game too far!)
I may use this as an excuse to finally pick up a rulebook…
