Thank you for a Decade and a list of our links now at Alternative Armies

The merger of 15mmcouk back into its originator parent Alternative Armies is complete meaning that our cart is closed and all of our products are now on their new pages on the much larger Alternative Armies website.  While we are all part of the same small and friendly company those of us who ran 15mmcouk, not least of whom is Gavin Syme (GBS) who had the idea for a dedicated 15mm site in 2004 would like to thank you all for a great decade.  

A decade that saw us become a leader in the booming expansion of 15mm scale tabletop gaming along with bringing a number of great game titles to market such as USEME and to restore Laserburn to its rightful classic status.  Thousands of miniatures across Historical, Fantasy and Science Fiction lines usable with any 15mm game system and we think now four times larger than its beginning size.


This is our final blog article and all of the 15mm scale news will now be delivered on the Alternative Armies network of email, social media and its BLOG which you should now follow if you liked what we did and will do.  If you visit the Alternative Armies website you will be prompted to join the Mailchimp email list which we would like you to do since we will continue to have 15mm releases across many ranges such as HOT, HOF, Altuos and more.  Our own mailing list for 15mmcouk will slow and cease.

So as well as saying farewell this article is here to give you a list of all the of new sections of the Alternative Armies website which were our 15mm ranges.  Click on each of them to visit them from here.  A handy list indeed:






Thank you for all your custom and your interest and friendships.  
Our email address sales@15mm.co.uk will remain active if you have questions.

Otherwise see you over at Alternative Armies for a ruddy good future of releases and tabletop fun!

Last Month of 2016 and what's coming....

Here are 15mm.co.uk we are looking forward to a week off at Christmas and again thank you for your support during the Four Day Mega Offer at the end of November.  There is a lot happening here for 2017 but this month we have some surprises for you including a free USEME Scenario and a new HOT 15mm small monster code too.  All in the first half of December.


We have had a lot of kind words and nice emails about our 15mm Festive Range and its new pack SN04 Psycho Presents.  I had not intended to do a new free USEME scenario for this year as I had not been asked much but over last weekend that changed.  


So..later this month and featuring the gun toting Presents against the Security Force Alpha lads from the previous scenarios...I will put up here...'Wrapped for Trouble'.


If you are interested in the USEME Series you can see it HERE.

Thanks for Reading and Merry Christmas!

The Tavshar Archon 15mm Mechas and Bundles Outlined

To be released last weekend in November on 15mm.co.uk the brand new range of 15mm Tavshar Mecha and bundles plus reaction forces for Loud Ninja Games to expand the Yandrassi collection of awesomeness!  If you missed the Introduction to the Tavshar Archon Mecha article by Eli Arndt with sketch by Sam Croes have a look and a read.  Upon release all of the codes will be HERE on the website.  Ain't this just the most lovely 15mm mecha you have seen recently!



"Archons are elite war machines, piloted by Tavshar that have reached the rank of Prime and shown their prowess in battle above other Primes, making them the elite among elites. Archon is not only the name of the mecha but also the new rank of those who pilot them. Each Archon selects its weapon load based on its mission or sometimes the preference of the individual Archon where command edict does not override personal choice. A mix of weapon types is common, allowing Archons operating in force to counter unexpected threats. Archons are most often tasked with providing heavy support to lesser troops alone or in small groups, but may be used as strike teams by themselves."

Above are two shots of IAF036A Tavshar Guardian Archon mecha built in one of its variations and pose and then painted by the legendary Sam Croes.  There are six different mecha choices and each has a different weapon load out and is very posable.  An advanced level white metal kit which is supplied with a selection of heads to use.  When built each stands 55mm to 60mm tall.

November 2016 at 15mm.co.uk begins teasingly!

Us teasing!  Never!  Well just a bit.  Everything we are doing this month is building up to our awesome Black Friday Weekend Offer.  This offer will run for four days and will be detailed a week before it starts.  This will be after we have made all of our releases for the month.  We hope you will check us out when the end of the month comes!  For more here is some more information on what is coming and a totally awesome a mighty set of releases by Loud Ninja Games which will make fans of 15mm sci-fi and the Yandrassi over the moons with joy!



Look at that!  Those are some big guns.  But big guns for what?  Tavshar and Horgosi of the Yandrassi created by Loud Ninja Games stand next to severely up scaled versions of their own personal weapons.  We will tell you more across this month in two more instalments.  For the moment....Eli Arndt of Loud Ninja Games would like to whisper the word 'Archon'  and 'Mecha' in your virtual ears along with the name of the designer Sean Bullough.  Trust us this is gonna be spectacular!


We have one fantasy release this month and that will add to our 15mm Scenics Range with a new pack.  HOT111 Dem Bones will be essential for all 15mm Undead armies as well as dungeon furniture and perhaps much more.  This release will be next week. If you want to see the other packs go to the HOT 15mm Fantasy Range for a look. We are preparing Dem Bones right now...

More news next week!

USEME Solo Play Campaign Setting and Rules for free by Vic Dobson

Last week the entire USEME series of wargame titles was released as digital downloads. At just 3.00GBP each these twelve titles cover science fiction, fantasy and historical wargaming along with other settings too. You can see all of these on the 15mm.co.uk website HERE if you missed that. We are delighted now to present to you for free an entire campaign setting based on the HOF 15mm Science Fiction range written by Vic Dobson which also includes solo play rules. Read on for the download link and more. 

To download the campaign setting in a zipped file from our Dropbox click HERE. 


You will need UM001 USEME 15mm Science Fiction to make use of this campaign setting and we also recommend UM010 USEME Support Pack too for your games. If you want to fight actions in space around the planets then you might like UM006 USEME Starship Battles as well. Super fast, really easy and great fun! 




Written by Vic Dobson who has created other USEME articles (click here to search our blog for USEME to find them HERE) this solo play campaign is a great way to plan out your table top battles across several weeks. I think a campaign of four player sides with two dozen games would take about six weeks with several games of half an hour or so each session. Enjoy! 


There are many free files for all of the USEME titles and these are collected on its page of our website where you can download the latest version for free. 

Thanks for Reading and well done Vic!

My beloved USEME Series of wargame rules is now digital downloads!

Following on from HOF Fire Team and Age of Might and Steel but proceeding the mighty Alien Squad Leader we at 15mm.co.uk are proud to announce that the dozen titles in the 'Ultra Simple Engine for Miniature Engagements' USEME series are now digital downloads.  At just 3.00GBP each you get the book, the covers and an 'ease print' version for home printing with all the non-text and vital graphics removed. We no longer have all of the A6 pocket print booklets of USEME in stock but what we have is on the website. You can see them all HERE.


USEME as a series has sold more than seven thousand copies and to me, as its lead author and creator, it makes me so happy that the little set of rules I developed for playing with my then eight year old son has given wargaming fun to players all over the world ever since.  Firstly as booklets and then as downloads and now as digital books on the 15mm.co.uk website.  If you are short of time or want something to plug in and play in ten minutes to an hour then USEME is for you.  Science Fiction, High Fantasy, World War Two, Modern Warfare, American Civil War, Starship Battles, Post Apocalypse, Wild West, Zombie Dawn, Cyberpunk as well as Eldrich Horror and the fantastic Support Pack that works with the other titles.  Here is a list of the titles and a link to each.  We also have two Complete USEME Games containing book, miniatures and scenarios too.  Each page linked to has all the information you need as I want to keep this article short enough for sanity!













Though there have been no new USEME titles published in two years or so there are a half dozen titles in the works from several authors.  It is my intention to get these out to wargamers as digital downloads.  More on this at the time of course but the nearest to ready are about Gangsters and a Modern Warfare Setting title plus of course my own Alien Safari.

Thanks for Reading,
