The Sirrus APC comes to 15mm.co.uk

RAP008 Sirrus APC Concept Art

Those wargamers who came onto Loud Ninja Games through their kickstarter and had included in their pledges the Sirrus APC will have their vehicles with them and will have seen the model in their hands.  Here at 15mm.co.uk we also have some of these models and they were produced to a high standard.  A decision was taken by Loud Ninja Games to centralise all of their production for their range with us and that included the Sirrus APC.  We welcomed this decision and aim for the same high standard.

To that end as of the 10th March 2014 with the release of the Space Raptors on 15mm.co.uk the Sirrus has gone into high grade grey tone resin production with us.  We are making one change to the initial kickstarter version of the model and that is the replacing the six resin weapons with identical weapons cast in white metal.  Currently we do not have a finished example to show you all but we will put one up on the website and on this blog as soon as we do.  Feel free to order in the meantime as we use the concept image presented here.

We expect this process to be complete in just over a week or so.

Thanks for reading.

Laserburn Remastered Vehicles in Resin - Progress

The 'new' Glaive APC!

We are nearing the end of the process of re-mastering every Laserburn vehicle in 15mm scale into either high grade resin or new white metal molding.   It has been a lot of work as you can imagine but its also been a lot of fun too.  Thanks to everyone who has already gotten themselves the smaller vehicles such as the Flit Car, the Hover Van or the awesome Law Officer Air Raft from the Laserburn page at 15mm.co.uk.

Above you can see a picture of the newly re-mastered into grey tone resin V008T Glaive APC with an Imperial Trooper for scale.  We have kept the details of each vehicle as faithful as possible to the beloved originals with only small changes here and there to accommodate the new production medium.  However with the tracked variant of the Glaive it was necessary to build new tracks from scratch due to deterioration of the original masters.

Here is a list of the codes we still have to release and all of these will be put out inside this season and before the summer with each getting the normal announcement and imagery when its time:

V008T Glaive Class APC (Tracked)
V008A Glaive Class APC (Anti-Grav)
V008W Glaive Class APC (Wheeled)
V008H Glaive Class APC (Hover)

V009T Imperial Scout Car (Tracked)
V009A Imperial Scout Car (Anti-Grav)
V009W Imperial Scout Car (Wheeled)
V009H Imperial Scout Car (Hover)

V005 Heavy Laser Cannon
V007 Scythe Class Jetcoper
V105 Sabre Class Jet Flyer
V011 Scorpion Assault Lander

While almost all of this list will be released in resin some do have white metal components and these have all be re-master and molded up freshly.

I know there are many hundreds of Laserburn fans who are keen to get their hands on these new versions of classic 80's sci-fi and I can say that the pricing on the new versions will be lower and in some cases much lower than the original all metal versions.  There are a number of factors involved in this but mainly its down to the weight of the original metals.  Codes such as V011 Scorpion Air Lander were very heavy indeed and required special conditions to cast as solid objects.

So what is first up...its the V105 Sabre Jet Copter and its looking awesome!  Keep an eye on the blog once the Space Raptor madness is done with!

SHM Prang and Skorath Released!

SHMP20 Prang Bosses

SHMP20 Rear View

SHMP21 Prang Raiders

SHMP21 Rear View

The Prang are a proud warrior race who side with the galactic authority in an effort to bring stability to the star lanes. There are more than two billion Prang in several thousand regiments. There are also many millions of Prang Raiders who instead choose the path of self service rather than to keep the peace.  These Prang Raiders often make use of females and youths in their formations. Great for all your near or far future skirmish and battle games in 15mm scale.

Brand new SHM Releases at 15mm.co.uk and these are ones we have all been awaiting for several months with a big grin on our faces.  From the hands of Eli Ardnt come a massive expansion of The Prang and a new single miniature The Skorath too.  Excellent!  Here are the codes and more details:

SHM66 Skorath Mercenary
SHM67 Prang Leader
SHM68 Prang Tech
SHM69 Prang with Laser Cannon
SHM70 Prang with Beamer
SHM71 Prang Raider
SHM72 Prang Raider
SHM73 Prang Raider
SHMP20 Prang Bosses (mixed from SHM67,68,69,70)
SHMP21 Prang Raiders (mixed from SHM34,71,72,73)

We have special offers on these miniatures which you can have as singles with a saving for multiple purchase or value packs with a saving already applied and even greater if you take multiples.  Cool!  Go HERE for the Deals and Offers page.  Or if you would prefer to have a look at all of the SHM 15mm Science Fiction range go HERE for those.

The Skorath!

Skorath are a mammal species that inhabit three star systems near the galactic core.  Unfortunately these systems are poor in resources so many adult Skorath are forced into working as hired guns for the major merc companies of the Human realm. Great for all your near or far future skirmish and battle games in 15mm scale.

The Prang are roughly Human in height but they are powerfullu built Aliens who are seemingly made entirely of muscle.  Here is a scale shot next to a Human trooper from HOF104 SFA Elite Troopers who is 15mm tall.

As with all of our 15mm Science Fiction releases these are suitable for any game system and are great for Alien Squad Leader 2.0 (ASQL) in which they would form part of an Alien Imperial or Alien Tribal army template force.  Learn about ASQL here.

We will have these offers on the new releases for one week.  As normal all comments are welcome and we hope that these new miniatures bring you a lot of wargaming fun!

Thanks for Reading.

Eli Arndt talks about Conversions in the SHM Range

SHM62 Varlish Envoy

One of the most prolific miniature designers in the SHM Range on 15mm.co.uk has posted up an article on his own blog 'I See Lead People' (I know great title!) all about his work in the range.  Eli Arndt has created many unique designs and new alien races from the Vergans to the Prang (more on them next month) and his Starport Denizens selection too.  You can see them all by clicking on the link to our website.

SHM20 Vergan

This sculpting blog post focuses on conversions of his existing Vergans and Burgansian along with the Calamite Preacher into new and different versions or new and different species.  It is a very interesting read and well worth a look.  Not only for the modelling but also for the thought that Eli puts into the names and cultures that these 15mm science fiction sculpts represent.

Go to the blog post HERE.

Working with Eli is always fun for me, he is a really nice guy.  I am proud to have been the one to give him the chance to put miniatures that would otherwise not have existed into wargamers hands the world over.
