We present the forth themed winter scenario. Our last new content of the year and releases too.

Wrapped for Trouble - A scenario for two players or solo play. While the Malmute Mercenaries face their own troubles at the Hegemony station across its far side a new faction has entered the fray. Snowmen, Xmas Trees and Snow Monsters all try to prevent a horde of Psycho Presents from reaching their own rendezvous at the station! 

CLICK HERE to download the scenario from our dropbox account for free as a PDF to your computer or device. Its easy and great fun and will only need your of miniatures some dice and about half an hour of your time. Excellent!

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!

Merry Festive Time!

Festive Season 2013 Begins - SN01 Evil Snowmen

South Pole, American Hegemony Station, Deep Winter 2082......

"Collins get him on his feet.  McBeardy what happened here?  Where's the rest of the staff?"

The snowfall had been heavy and lay all across the ice sheet making the dozen mercenaries of the Malamute Executive Response nervous.  The grav-copter had dropped them off less than five minutes ago and then fled before the oncoming storm trapped it.  As the team had made it way toward the buildings of the AH Station they had seen no sign of life.  No sign of the fifty wage slave and corporate staff or the detachment of guards with them.   What was going on?  The company had hired them and flown them in.  A lot of firepower for what might be a busted comms suite.

"McBeardy.  Can you hear me?  Where's the staff?  Why are you out here?"

Collins had shouldered his M104 Auto-Rifle and had McBeardy by the shoulders.  The scientist appeared to be barely concious and his clothes were torn, his feet bare.  He would be dead from exposure if they did not get him inside soon.  Sergeant Campbell was about to tell Collins to just drag McBeardy along with them when Collins screamed in terror and dropped the scientist to the ground.

"Collins.  What the hell are you doing?  Get him up, right fu....."

Sergeant Campbell trailed off and instead he, along with the rest of the mercenaries, watched open mouthed as McBeardy convulsed and then began to change.  His clothes burst and the ground around him was lashed by brown tendrils that dragged snow towards the scientist.  With a howl of inhuman origin what was once McBeardy rose to its feet its body bulking up and changing white.  In moments shapes took form upon the white body, a scarf, a hat and a wicked ice knife in gloved hands.  McBeardy was gone as his face imploded and was replaced by what looked like for all the world two pieces of coal and a carrot.  The snow made man for what was what is was turned on Collins and lunged at him arms outstreched.

"Fire.  Damn it, kill it.  Fire!"

SN01 Evil Snowmen (5 Pose Pack)

Concepting in Snow for Christmas 2014

Quick posting on what is coming that is unique and special to this festive season on 15mm.co.uk.  The concept sketches you can see in the rough here gives more than a clue. Its....evil snowmen!

These will be coming real soon and will be shown here on the blog but for the moment I will answer the question of why.  Why make 15mm snowmen at all whether evil or benign?

Well for several reasons.  Firstly 15mm.co.uk has had more than two hundred requests for killer snowmen since 2010 and that is enough to consider any subject for sculpting.  Secondly I wanted something rather different than the endless 'cookie cutter' releases and kickstarters that are all over the globe just now. Something fun that could be used in many settings and systems so Snowmen fitted that.  Thirdly I am always having ideas and one that I had back in the summer of this year fitted this concept.  A range that is festive only.  That is a range beginning with one or two codes that would only be available for a limited time each year when they made sense to wargamers.  Snowmen at Christmas that vanished in January to return in late November with more miniatures to join them.

After all 15mm.co.uk does a lot of original things, USEME, SHM to name but two.   I want a candy cane button on my work shirt for this one too.

Sam Croes took some time out of his schedule and agreed to do the design work for this. More details upon release...wait until you see these little blighters!  Maybe even a USEME scenario for them too.
