Killer Xmas Trees and Evil Snowmen until January 2015

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

With a groaning of effort the mercenaries managed to push the heavy steel door shut.  Its red paint was flecked in places from bullet impacts and burned by the flame throwers used by these private soldiers in their efforts to keep out what was following them.  Malamute Executive Response had sent in a dozen of them in one grav-copter and a second dozen in another.  Of the other group there was no sign and only ten of the twelve here remained.  Two of their number had been lost, changed, by the snow made men out there on the ice.  

Sergeant Campbell ordered full weapons and kit checks and reloads and in a matter of a minute the reduced team were ready once more to proceed into the silent complex of the AH Station. They were in a large open plan entrance hall and what looked like a meeting area.  Furniture was scattered about and two bodies lay in grotesquely twisted shapes on the hard floor.  The sergeant signalled two of their number to take a look at the bodies while the rest of them advanced with their M104 rifles ready.  The flame throwers were stowed away in favour of combat shotguns due to the blaze risk inside the station.

“Collins what happened to those poor bastards?”

The bodies had been mauled by wild animals with great bloody tears in their flesh and clothing.  But what was really odd was that they also had hundreds of fine green needles stuck in their skins around the wounds.  Something was really wrong with AH Station.  What were the corporate staff here doing?

“Sergeant.  I have no idea.  They are dead aright, have been for a while in fact. But these green needles...almost like from a tree or something.”

After what had happened outside the Malamute mercenaries were taking no chances.  They scanned the large area again and this time noticed two dozen decorated trees that surely had not been there before.  Loaded with baubles and bedecked with garlands it was strange since it was late autumn.  They were about to return their attention to the corpses when the trees shook and seemed to start to move towards them.  What happened next resulted in a hail of gunfire.  The tree nearest to Trooper Baines seemed to split apart up its trunk and a mouth emerged.  A mouth with a red tongue and rows of razor sharp white teeth!

“Aw Hell!  This is turning into a real peach of a day.  Fire!  Pick your targets and get pruning!”


Its the start of a month plus of festive season fun for 15mm.co.uk and as the little story above tells you its going to be a little mad too just like last year.  Our Deals and Offers page is going to play once more host to a seasonal range of miniatures in 15mm scale that will also be around during this one period of the year.  We begin today and we end in early January 2015.  You have a month or so to get these miniatures until next winter.  We will also have other specials and releases but it kicks off here.  So if you like the spirit of Christmas and of Wargaming and you have fun in your heart then read on!

Last year we introduced our seasonal range of festive miniatures with their first code SN01 Evil Snowmen and they went down a treat and we promised that we would expand the range by another code every time the cold came back.  So we have.  Back on sale for a month are the Evil Snowmen in a pack and in a value pack too but now we present the brand new follow up....SN02 Killer Xmas Trees!  That's right.  The madness continues in our Christmas theme.  



SN02 Killer Xmas Trees - 5 Magic Creatures  5.00GBP

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 Magic Creatures  2.50GBP
This code contains five different 15mm scale white metal miniatures.  Our not so friendly snowmen suitable for any festive themed scenario or army.  Each of them stands about 10mm tall and poses are hat with hatchet, top hat and candy cane, wool hat and rifle, saucepan and scarf, severed head and knife.

Supplied Unpainted and without Bases.  This bumper value pack saves you 10% off list price! HERE.


Cold Thing and Branch Face- USEME Scenarios
Last year we advertised a free USEME scenario that was coming up to go with our festive range. Sadly the master file for this scenario was lost and therefore it was never published.  This year though 15mm.co.uk will be putting up two scenarios for free.  The first is a re-write of the original Cold Thing and the second is a new one called Branch Face.  Generic and suitable for UM001 15mm Science Fiction or UM004 Modern Warfare they will give you a weekend of fun for sure!  Details to come.

Galactic Knights reaching goal for more packs expansion


“The Senate must be protected from the psychic assaults of the Utlragaranians or its crystal walls will crumble and the galaxy will be exposed to the mind tearing death of civilisation. A duty of rescue falls to the Galactic Knights who with their swords drawn and cloaks aflutter in the starry breeze do the bidding of the forces of well meaning. Riding among the flow of space these warriors of true and virtue will lay waste to the planets of the evil ones. Glittering beams and shining blades against tentacles and teeth amid a landscape of lava and blackened skies.”

That piece of fiction makes the hairs on the back of your hand stand up doesn't it.  It certainly did for me when I wrote it after looking at the concepts for what would become the HOF105 Galactic Knights.  I was not alone in this feeling and here we are in the winter after a summer release on the far side of nearly five hundred packs sold of these miniatures.  My thrust in this post is two fold. Firstly to say that when we reach five hundred packs we will expand the Galactic Knights as that was our promise and secondly to ask you to get yourself a pack if you have not already to put us over the goal set.  Thanks.


So what form could the expansion take with no pre-funding or other input?  Well based on the concepts that came from the initial Art Jam early in 2014 there are a number of avenues that might be taken.  I have tempered the raw talent of the initial input by laying out potential packs inside the guide lines for the HOF 15mm Science Fiction Range as well as the normal four poses of miniature to a ten miniature pack code.  Here is what we are thinking by order of probability and it is most likely to be two packs which will be the level of expansion.

Galactic Knights Command
The knights that exist in HOF105 would need some dedicated poses to lead them into the fray.  A command pack would have the poses that allow this.  A higher ranking commander along with dedicated specialists such as medical, psychic warfare, or communications or perhaps a battle standard.  We would refrain from a casualty pose in such as pack keeping it back for the future.  Final choice of posing would be up to the designer under designated role assignments.

Galactic Knights Support  
Perhaps the fantastical evil in the universe needs a bit more than energy swords, pistols and a rifle to put it down.  To that end a Support Weapons pack would have the poses for this role.  A chance here for four new miniatures armed with a variety of exotic beam or particle weapons.  After all you need to fight in the laser light and the shimmer glitter of impacting rays.  A pack like this when combined with the Command pack and the existing infantry poses would allow the creation of a whole force at platoon level.  

Bare Headed and Personalties for Galactic Knights
This possible expansion is more likely to be a third stage if the popularity of the miniatures persists as it would make the Galactic Knights a force of names.  Without their distinctive helmets and with bare heads you would be able to name them.   While a couple of the poses would be of the 'sergeant' type with typical weapons and armour except for their faces being shown, acting as squad leaders, the other two might be something more.  True personalities in more elaborate or totally different costume or armour.  The possibilities here for a noble leader are endless.

Female Galactic Knights
As you can see in the artwork there is an idea already in some form for the inclusion of female knights of the techni-colour future.  Different armour style but with the same ethos and drive of their male counterparts these would be a stand alongside pack.  Female miniatures have become more popular in recent years as a force in their own right within a range (we have such coming up for Security Force Alpha) and of course our sister brand The Ion Age has a lot of female poses and characters now.  Without a lot of feedback this would be a third stage possible expansion.  Personally I like the idea and the artwork if turned into a figure would be superb!

Galactic Knights Light Vehicle 
A knight needs his charger!  Certainly he does even in the rainbow hue of the stars.  There is no concrete notion as yet what such a vehicle would look like but it would certainly fulfil the needs of a scouting or small transport made for one or perhaps two riders.  Would it be ground bound or anti-gravity?  Certainly the idea of a floating far future bike is very appealing but then it might be much more exotic.  We would consider this a third stage pack for certain as it makes little sense to have it before we have command and support poses.  Ideas would be asked for before design sketches commenced.

There we have it.  The proposed expansion packs for HOF105 Galactic Knights.  Certainly the top two are most likely but it might be any of the others based on what happens next.  I will give it to the end of the month or so and then report what happened to you all.  Did we break the five hundred packs, will there be an expansion in 2015 and what will it be?  Only the future knows.

Thanks for Reading.

HOT 15mm Skeleton Centaurs and Guard released!

We have moved the release of the second set of two codes of Undead into the HOT 15mm Fantasy range forward by a few days to today! Huzzah! Clamour is listened to and wargamers have been asking for us to do this, so we did. We have two new packs released today and these bring armoured skeleton infantry as well as something rather more unique 'Skeltaurs' skeletal centaur cavalry. Read on for the details. 


HOT98 Skeltaur Cavalry (6 Miniatures) 
While I might be incorrect I think that these miniatures may well be unique and I have certainly never seen skeletal centaurs or 'skeltaurs' before in my meanderings. This pack gives some mixed use Undead cavalry with a twist. The first post is a skeltaur with spear and small shield wearing a felt up a sort of medium cavalry. The second pose is a skeltaur knight in armour and helmet armed with spear and shield for heavier cavalry and the last pose is a skeltaur with a bow for missile cavalry. The pack is a random mix of the three poses for a total of six miniatures they suit most settings from classic fantasy to dungeoneering and medieval fantasy crossovers too. As with the rest of the HOT range you have the choice of purchasing one pack or three packs saving 10% or a sampler containing one of each pose in the pack which is great for skirmishing. 4.00GBP per pack. Go HERE


HOT99 Skeleton Eternal Guard (16 Miniatures) 
As your ranks of rattling bone boys advance to meet their mortal foes you sometimes think that it would be nice if they upped the ante a bit with a touch of extra armour to deflect incoming swords, spears, halberds and those pesky fire arrows too. The upcoming Eternal Guard do that job nicely. Four different poses of Skeleton all in a mix of plate and mail armour. The first pose with sword and round shield, the second an axe and round shield, the third a large two handed sword and the forth with a sabre raised and a large round shield. Poses will be randomly mixed in the pack and these go great with HOT Skeleton archers and spears. As with the rest of the HOT range you have the choice of purchasing one pack or three packs saving 10% or a sampler containing one of each pose in the pack which is great for skirmishing. 4.00GBP per pack. Go HERE

Suitable for any 15mm Fantasy wargame rules system from HOTT 2nd Edition to Age of Might and Steel and others such as Song of Blades and Heroes. 



There are many other Undead army codes in the HOT range and you can see them all HERE

If you have ideas for HOT then I always want to hear them. The range almost always expands on the back of wargamers requests so comment here or all the better email me direct and let me know what you would like to see. There are mumblings of more monsters in the ether ports just now. 

Thanks for Reading.

Asgard classic 15mm Human Miniatures now re-released and offer!

Way back in the 1970's the Asgard brand created some really excellent Dungeon Adventurers in 15mm scale.  Continuing its process of re-mastering and re-releasing classic codes in the Tabletop Fantasy Range 15mm.co.uk is proud to announce that these figures have now been put on our website once more.  These are superb miniatures with a wide variety of uses. As characters these miniatures provided a pattern that has influenced 15mm Fantasy ever since their creation. 

In celebration of getting these miniatures to our website we are offering an EXTRA 10% off the packs and singles in the packs now put back out until the end of November 2014. Go to the Tabletop 15mm Fantasy page.

FST03 MDA Human Skirmish Pack
In this special skirmish pack you can find sixteen 15mm Humans from the Asgard MDA range. Taken from codes MDA31P, MDA38P, MDS81P and MDA84P for a total of eleven poses randomly mixed for a total of sixteen miniatures. Get into 15mm Fantasy skirmish! Choose from one pack or three packs with a 10% saving.  All miniatures are supplied unpainted and without bases. 

MDA31P Human Characters II
This pack contains ten 15mm scale white metal miniatures.  A random mix of four poses great for skirmishing or characters.  MDA34 Druid, MDA31 Cleric, MDA41 Fighter and MDA33 Mage.  You can choose to purchase a pack or single miniatures or purchase three packs and save an additional 10%.  Not supplied painted or with bases.  

MDA38P Human Characters III

A note on scale in these classic miniatures. Asgard classic 15mm miniatures are larger than true 15mm scale and would be classed in modern terms closer to 18mm scale while the Tabletop TTF miniatures are smaller true 15mm scale.  We have noted the Asgard codes with this for your information. Go HERE for the Tabletop Fantasy page.


Finally here is the original Asgard logo from the 1970's.  We were asked to show this piece of wargaming heritage and are happy to do so.  Now that is old school awesome.  Enjoy.

We will be back with more packs when they are ready and thanks as always for your support.

Expanding the Undead in the HOT 15mm Fantasy Range – Centaurs and Guard

“Love those new archers and spears in the HOT Range.  
How about some elite skeletons to go with them?!”

This is the next stage in our Undead expansion for the HOT 15mm Fantasy Range and you can read the first expansion blog post HERE if you missed it.  There was some nice feedback in October 2014 upon the release of the two bulked up codes (missile troop and spear toting 15mm scale skeletons) so its now time to talk about what is coming up next.  Among the acre of feeddback from customers about expanding the Undead was a desire for more veteran or heavily armoured and armed infantry and also some kind of mounted troops too.  All of these would be from scratch as existing codes would have all been bulked out and released so we put our thinking caps on and come up with two more packs that would be at home on any 15mm fantasy players wargame table.  This second expansion adds to existing codes as follows:


HOT98 Skeltaur Cavalry (6 Miniatures)
While I might be incorrect I think that these miniatures may well be unique and I have certainly never seen skeletal centaurs or 'skeltaurs' before in my meanderings.  This pack gives some mixed use Undead cavalry with a twist.  The first post is a skeltaur with spear and small shield wearing a felt up a sort of medium cavalry.  The second pose is a skeltaur knight in armour and helmet armed with spear and shield for heavier cavalry and the last pose is a skeltaur with a bow for missile cavalry. The pack is a random mix of the three poses for a total of six miniatures they will suit most settings from classic fantasy to dungeoneering and medieval fantasy crossovers too. They fit in well with the rest of the HOT Undead Range of packs 


HOT99 Skeleton Eternal Guard (16 Miniatures)
As your ranks of rattling bone boys advance to meet their mortal foes you sometimes think that it would be nice if they upped the ante a bit with a touch of extra armour to deflect incoming swords, spears, halberds and those pesky fire arrows too.  The upcoming Eternal Guard do that job nicely. Four different poses of Skeleton all in a mix of plate and mail armour.  The first pose with sword and round shield, the second an axe and round shield, the third a large two handed sword and the forth with a sabre raised and a large round shield.  Poses will be randomly mixed in the pack and these go great with HOT Skeleton archers and spears.  Use them to bolster your legions as they march the face of the world!  
As with the rest of the HOT 15mm Fantasy Range we will be offering the purchase choices of a single pack or three packs with a ten percent saving or a sampler with one of each pose in the pack (great for skirmishing or dungeon crawling) all at great prices. Suitable for any 15mm Fantasy wargame rules system from HOTT 2nd Edition to Age of Might and Steel and others such as Song of Blades and Heroes. 

We will be releasing these two codes on Friday 14th November 2014.

If you are a keen wargamer who plays the Undead in 15mm scale then there is already a lot to see in the HOT range.  Here are the current codes:

HOT40 Skeleton Missile Troops (16 miniatures)
HOT41 Skeleton Spears (16 miniatures)
HOT12 Ghoul, Wraith and Knight (16 miniatures)
HOT14 Hordes of the Dead (16 miniatures)
HOT21 Zombie Horde (16 miniatures)
HOT24 Undead Cavalry (6 miniatures)
HOT36 Mounted Wraiths (6 miniatures)
HOT63 Catapult with Undead Crew (1 set)
HOT64 Cadaver Zombies (10 miniatures)
HOT74 Wraith Lord on Fell Beast (1 set)
HOT83 Undead Command (16 pieces)
HOT95 Ghosts (10 miniatures)

These can all be found on the HOT 15mm Fantasy page of our website HERE.

If you have ideas for HOT then I always want to hear them.  The range almost always expands on the back of wargamers requests so comment here or all the better email me direct and let me know what you would like to see. There are mumblings of more monsters in the ether ports just now.
