Mr Harolds Magical Miniature Review of our Modern Tents!

I got a lovely surprise at the weekend when Mr Harold (he of Clear Horizon and Dropship Horizon fame) emailed me to give me a link to the above video which he has posted up to YouTube.  A video review of our recently released FST01 and FST02 15mm Modern Tents packs.   The video is well worth watching and is informative as to the use of the tents and some scale comparisons to our own and other makers brands of miniatures including his own excellent Hell Divers.

Here are links to the two packs on our website:

FST01 Modern Tents (Two in the Pack)

FST02 Torn Modern Tents (Two in the Pack)

And a nice picture of them to show you what they look like all painted up by our studio.  Mr Harold tells us that he is painting his tents up as a research set in whites and greys with logos.  I look forward to seeing that.

Keep up the good work!

HOF27 Maginot Defence Turret released!

HOF27 Maginot Defence Turret

It is the year 2100 and the Resource Wars are in full swing on Earth.  Nations feud to take what they can from a dying world that is all out of succour for her greedy children.  The richer power blocks have established small colonies on Mars and on the Moon in partial terraforming and in dome.  While the use of nuclear and chem-bio weapons is outlawed it is more out of fear than respect of life.  War is everywhere and the battle lines are in field and city both.   For the winners there will be places among the stars a series of Human Colonies and for the losers only the arid taste of the towering exhaust of plumes of the mighty Ark Ships that are even now being built.  Welcome to the year 2100.

HOF27 Maginot Defence Turret  (4.00GBP)

Warfare is never cheap and the Maginot was designed by a committee to a price point that even the most corrupt future government could live with.  Poured from pre-made mega molds with cheap concrete and supplied with minimal fixtures the Maginot can be seeded across miles of border lands or huge cities to provide a fixed point to dispense 'justice and peace'.

This pack contains the resin and white metal pieces to assemble one 15mm scale Maginot Defence Turret. The Maginot is a stationary structure that acts as a strong point for your forces in play.  Designed as a feature of the Human Colonial Army template in Alien Squad Leader 2.0 it is equally at home in any near future or such game system.  Parts are: Turret Main Body, Turret Ring (rotatable in mount when assembled), Turret Top, Cannon Barrel and Non Lethal Barrel (a choice of two weapon options).  Approx 35mm tall when assembled.  Easy to assemble and great value. The Maginot is part of Security Force Alpha (SFA) in the HOF Range.  From battles to peace keeping or law enforcement roles it suits them all.

A great 15mm wargaming kit and excellent value too. Choose from a pack or three packs (saving 10% automatically on the price) supplied unpainted and without bases.  Some assembly required.  Mono image shows parts.  Go HERE.

The parts of HOF27 easy to assemble!

All across the Human Colonies and on Terra itself there is a need for security after, during and even before the high rollers and expensive kit arrives in the battle zone. Security Force Alpha is just that force filling in as police, paramilitaries, mercenaries and planetary militias too. They are the faceless grunts that do the thankless jobs needed by all those who govern, control or enforce. Use them as you will from the near to the far future! 

HOF27 with SFA Elite Trooper (HOF104) for scale

The Security Force Alpha (SFA) range contains more than fifty different poses of 15mm white metal miniatures and vehicles allowing a wargamer to assemble a cohesive force for their campaigns. A whole integrated range within HOF which will be expanded even more.  See them all HERE.

Thanks Everyone Salute Season is now over!

What we began the day with and ended it with

Its been a month of real fun and extreme activity for Alternative Armies, 15mm.co.uk and The Ion Age with promotions, new releases and special rates all leading up to the mighty Salute 2014 wargame show in London at the weekend there.  The Salute Season is now over.

We are getting back to normal now and while it will take us a few days I wanted to thank everyone who ordered across our websites, those who gave us kind words and those who took the time to speak to us at the show.  It means a lot and its my one time a year to meet customers face to face and to chat to fans and followers.  I had more than one hundred conversations on Saturday on subjects from Flintloque to Patrol Angis, from USEME Prohibition Gangsters to Age of Might and Steel and Alien Squad Leader too.  I got to meet others in the industry and what fine hard working fellows they all are each with a firing imagination and a love for miniatures and wargaming.

Alternative Armies decided to host The Ion Age on the trade stand this year and it got great feedback with dozens of new customers and admiring comments too.  Next time we may do something different but being such a diverse company there are many possibilities and there is a lot of time until the next show.  We gave out near the two hundred free IMP08 Muster Girl miniatures we took with us (one with every purchase just like online) and Malig Madness was fully sold out along with the new HOF28 Charger APC kit which is out this week on the website.

What will be the theme of next year's Salute show?  No one knows at this point.  No one knows anything about the future of Salute at this moment but for Alternative Armies it will be another month of fun around and at the show you can be assured of that!

Thanks Everyone here's to 2015!

Tiny Solitary Soldiers paints up a Space Raptor!

This came up on my feed this morning tied to 15mm.co.uk.  A lovely painted up example of the Loud Ninja Games 15mm Chuhuac space raptor.  You can see it above.  Here is a link to the post.

You can find the whole range of Loud Ninja Games on our website including this one miniature from RAP001.  These are unique miniatures commissioned with passion by Eli Arndt.  Have a browse.

Lastly the author of TSS, Space Jacker, has said on his blog post that his interest in wargaming posting has moved away from Blogger in favour of Instagram.  I hope personally that he changes his mind and at least copy pastes to his blogger site as it is easier for me to look at and follow.  If you feel the same then comment on the thread on his post.  He is a great fellow and a fine painter and modeller.

Thanks for Reading.
