Raptors in Spaaaace! Painting Agency Blog does the Chuhuac

November 2015 will see the release of the brand new Vasseth light grav tank from Loud Ninja Games. You can read the initial post on this HERE on our blog. There are many fans of the Space Raptor miniatures, the Chuhuac which were the first codes in the growing range but among the foremost of these fans is Allison M who runs the Painting Agency blog. He has put up a great article with pictures and his own take on a possible future for Humanity that involves the Chuhuac. You can read it HERE. 

Painting Agency blog had another Space Raptor posting earlier this month called 'Daring Deep Space Dinos' which is also a cracking read. You can see it HERE. 

If you wish to see the Space Raptors and all their codes considering your next hobby move in November when the Vasseth comes out as a pack and also a value set then you can see all of their packs on this refined search to 15mm.co.uk's page for Loud Ninja Games HERE.

War in a Box Blog gets a 15mm.co.uk fix!

The internet is a glorious place for the wargaming hobbyist. It is filled with enthusiastic guys and gals who love their miniatures, rule systems and collections and a desire to show and tell others what they have and their intentions on how to proceed with the fun. War in a Box is such a blog run by a chap who is a long time customer of 15mm.co.uk and who has his own way of doing things. I would like to share War in a Box with you all. 

This time War in a Box revels in the latest package received from us containing Octopods, Laserburn and Prang (remember you have only a limited time to get your Prang for us before they leave for greener pastures go HERE for details of this) adding to the collection and the 'lead pile'. Go HERE to read the post.

The Prang by Eli Arndt moving to The Ion Age soon!

This is a joint blog post featuring on 15mm.co.uk and on The Ion Age both of which are part of Alternative Armies. Its a happy article concerning the long term future of one of the most adored parts of the popular SHM Range. In the SHM range new and aspiring designers get the chance to have 15mm scale miniatures put into production by us for free at 15mm.co.uk. Gavin Syme (GBS) does this to give a 'leg up' to talent in a world where often its almost impossible to get ahead and its helped more than a dozen sculptors both traditional and digital since its inception. While everyone has their favourites from the eighty odd codes in the SHM range there is one part of the range that has out performed all others...The Prang by Eli Arndt. 

By arrangement between Gavin Syme (GBS), Sam Croes and Eli Arndt the Prang will leave the SHM Range and make the move across to The Ion Age in November 2015. What this means is that soon you will no longer be able to purchase Prang on 15mm.co.uk's pages and instead, under new codes but similar prices, the miniatures will arrive on The Ion Age pages. As part of the space opera awesome of The Ion Age the Prang will expand into an entire army, an entire range with a background in the narrative of the Prydian Precinct. While the current poses and codes of Prang will remain on the SHM Range page at 15mm.co.uk until the 9th November 2015 at which time they will be removed forever...argh! But do not fret! It will not be long after that before they appear once more. They will not stand still however as new poses have already been sculpted by Eli Arndt and here are a couple of inked up example master castings we are currently working on. 

During next month there will be more announcement and releases for The Prang but in the meantime stock up if you wish and if you have questions please do ask on sales@15mm.co.uk or info@theionage.com. Go HERE for the Prang in the SHM Range on 15mm.co.uk until 9th November 2015.

Welcome to The Ion Age Eli! Its going to be a lot of fun!

15mm Da Vinci Tank and Da Vinci himself released at 15mm.co.uk!

“It is the winter of 1502 at the court of the notorious Cesare Borgia and while the snows fall outside the great table is surrounded by some of the most brilliant and ruthless men of that age. Among them is Borgia himself, patron and wealth bringing to his table two men among the many who will live on in history. The first is Niccolo Machiavelli who will use Borgia as the basis for his text The Prince. The other is an aged Leonardo Da Vinci whose mind is a wonder filled with designs that will influence a world to come. Employed as a military architect Da Vinci has plans for weapons and machines of war that he has no desire to give to Cesare Borgia. While it is not known if Machiavelli whispered a warning in the old man's ear it is wonderful to dream of what might have been said on those dark winter nights.” - Gavin Syme (GBS) 

15mm.co.uk is proud to present two new packs added to the HOT 15mm Fantasy range designed by Sam Croes. While not strictly fantasy these packs straddle the divide between the real world of the Renaissance and the invented world of fantasy. They can be used for both and 'Da Vinci World' is an accepted army list for several wargame systems. We have a true scale 15mm version of Da Vinci's tank, his turtle car, a wooden behemoth and would spread cannon carnage on a battlefield. We also have the great man himself Leonardo Da Vinci on foot and on horseback so you can add him as a character to your games. Fans of Renaissance Warfare, fans of 15mm Fantasy warfare read on! 

HOT101 Da Vinci Tank 

This resin and white metal 15mm scale vehicle kit depicts the famous Tank or 'Turtle Car' of Leonardo Da Vinci. Composed of two resin hull pieces easily assembled and two sprues of white metal cannon barrels you can add this vehicle to your collection.

HOT102 Leonardo Da Vinci 

This small pack contains three 15mm scale white metal miniatures.

You can purchase it as a pack or as three packs using the drop down menu on the page saving 10% on screen. Price 1.50GBP. Go HERE.
