First Contact is a supplement to 5150, the original set of sci-fi rules from Two Hour Wargames. First Contact revolves around a rebellion on a small planet where the colonists have decided to break away from their home world. It documents the war between Earth and her first colony, Mars. But what starts out as a local conflict erupts into something larger as the rebels, known as the Sahadeen, receive help from an unexpected source, the ever-expanding empire of Gaea Prime.

Myzontids are pitiless and calculating killers, and are the perfect snipers, and either operate with, or are associated with, a lone marksman who will often take a day or longer working himself into position to eliminate his target.
The Squamata are a disposable asset as far as the rest of Kaamados society is concerned. Made up from the numerous genetic anomalies and birth defects that are part and parcel of their reproduction cycle the Squamata that aren’t eaten by their parents and siblings are pressed in to military service where they serve as battlefield servitors, cannon fodder, unwitting suicide bombers and a mobile emergency food supply. The physical appearance of the Squamata varies considerably although they average 3’6” and characterized by the heavy boots, large gauntlets and hood that all combine to obscure any and all traces of their imperfections and deformities.

The first title in the HOF (Hordes of the Future) 15mm sci-fi series is now open for public playtesting.
Called HOF Fire-Team this 15mm system is a generic grid based skirmish game using teams of four or more miniatures to fight out intense urban combat. Using the same D6 mechanic as Alternative Armies Firefight 2.0 game HOF Fire-Team also has a new an innovative 'Tech Level' mechanic and 'Waypoint' mechanic which allows players to field troops and vehicles from the present day to the far future, from serious sci-fi to 'bug hunts' and everything in between.

Introductory War Rocket Release: April 23, 2010 On Friday, April 23, 2010, we will release our first wave of War Rocket miniatures in our online store. This first release will feature the first two ships (Class 1 and Class 2) from each of the four War Rocket factions. In the months leading up to the first release date, we’ll be profiling each of the four factions and showing photos of the actual painted models.
From Khurasan Miniature's Blog Mike Broadbent has created the 15mm Rattler model, which has six legs which plug into holes along the main chassis of the unit, as well as a gun torso and head, which like the legs is posable. As can be seen from the photo below, there's some flexibility in the models -- for instance, simply remove the hatchet head of the Rattler and its whole looks changes to a more arachnoid look. These are also quite suitable as sentry robots or similar for 28mm gaming.
The Geo Dome set consists of 9 pieces: 2 Small Domes 1 Large Dome 4 Corridors 1 3-way Junction 1 4-way Junction The set assembled as shown measures approximatley 10" long, 6 1/2" wide and the large dome is 1 1/4" tall.
We have had quite a few emails off people requesting gun variants amongst the ARC fleet range. As with everything this takes and with such an extensive range planned out we have to fit projects in where we can around the current schedule. Our first step was to get Rob on the case and he came up with 12 new concepts of which 6 where then selected for sculpting by Phil. These are currently off being moulded and once cast well be on there way back to Phil to arm up some AF troops and Mercenaries (if Phils puttying arm begins to twitch!)
A six-wheeled rapid strike and scout vehicle Complete resin kit including a choice of twin linked Lascannon and Multilaser weapons. Model designed by Will Hayes, crew designed by Simon Egan.
The mini Simian is around 12mm to the top of his head. He is supposed to fit in with hmmm... 6mm minis. The Werewolf Alpha Male is about 26mm to the top of his head, 24mm to the eyes. The Aquaman is 22mm to the top of the crest on the head and 18mm to the eyes. All of those minis will be sold in packets of eight minis [two copies each of four different variants]. The werewolf heads sprue should fit most modern sized 15mm minis.

Work continues apace on the company-level 15mm sci-fi rules I am working on. Also got to see some pics of the first greens and they look very nice. Can't share them as of yet, but I think many 15mm sci-fi fans will applaud another source of great infantry. Did I mention we'll be doing some walkers, too? Well now I am mentioning it. I'll have a gander at the first batch of those this coming week. They'll be a mix of resin bodies with metal legs and arm-based weapon mounts. No hands or obvious close combat weapons on these guys, and they should be low-slung affairs, with low centers of gravity. We'll see!
Pole Bitwy is a new wargaming company from Poland. They are targeting 15mm / 1:100 scale miniatures, but they also plan on releasing several 6mm and 28mm figures.
The origin of the walking dead remains shrouded in mystery. What is known is that the cause is a highly contagious disease passed on through any form of ingestion or contact with their bodily fluids. Whole worlds can be overtaken unless swift and decisive military action is taken by the defending garrisons. Often military commanders have been engaged in combat only to realise that a far more dangerous foe is present on the battlefield when zombies wander into the warzone hunting for fresh meat. Pack contains: 50 Zombies including 20 Adult Male, 10 Adult Female, 10 Female Children, 10 Male Children

SuperSystem Cover Art Revealed! Hey, folks! We're getting closer to the release of SuperSystem 3rd ed. Here's a sneak peak of the cover painting by Joseph Urban. The logo is just a place holder--we'll be using our traditional orange and yellow logo for the final version. This great piece depicts a battle between Thunderfist and the Ego-Bot! We're finalizing the layout now, so a November 22 release looks good. I am also working on getting a small number of books printed out in a spiral bound format, with color covers and b&w interiors. Lulu is also an option. We'll see. Separately, I still have a number of Superfigs model stats to revise for the free PDF release of the Official SuperSystem Teams and Characters. I'll post more on this when I know it! --Scott
Spartan Games is most excited to announce that Firestorm Armada has arrived and will ship to stores around the world on November 23rd. Following in the footsteps of our incredibly successful Uncharted Seas fantasy naval game, Firestorm Armada builds on the foundations of this game to bring you easy to master rules, superb multi-part models (with spaceships up to 170mm long) and exciting action in a war torn area of space we call the Storm Zone. At launch Firestorm Armada brings you four exciting fleets to begin your space combat: the Dindrenzi Federation, Terram Alliance, Aquan Prime and Sorylian Collective. Supporting these models is a 96 page full colour rule book, punch out A4 tokens and templates and our first four upgrade ships - a Fighter Carrier for each fleet. Over the next two weeks we'll detail availability and pricing, and we're sure our launch partners will be giving you plenty of information as well. Our Firestorm web pages will be completely replaced with new info and pictures, showing you the exciting work our 3D modellers have done. Watch out for images, data sheets, schematics and more. Welcome to our view of futuristic space combat, The Spartan Team As the battle rages the Dindrenzi Battleship strikes home with a crippling blow, the effects of the critical hit felt along the entire length of the Sorylian Battleship. But the battle is far from over...several Sorylian Cruisers and two Carriers are heading into the combat - the Battleship may have taken a pounding, but there is plenty of firepower left in this fleet. We hope you like the combat scene created by our talented digital artist Josh Finney. Image Copyright (c) Spartan Games 2009.

Important: Please note as 1st November 2009. All existing ranges will become unavailable as cast items. Stock only after 1st November. Painted items are no longer available. Stock only. Reason: As some people may remember I had a problem with one of my arms some years ago. This has become increasingly painful and problematic over the years most notably the last year. Managing only 2 or 3 hours casting or painting a day is no longer viable. Contract casting is not an option. Too many different molds to manage. Its time to call it a day on the general items listings. What I can still do however is the master making. So the plan is. Limited edition sets of 50/ 100 only. All new items. Example: Russian front saw mill with all associated outbuildings houses etc. See In the works page I think this is the most manageable solution for me. I have a set number of items that need casting and somebody to do it for me. I’m enthusiastic about this this new direction and hope people will understand my decision for taking it.
Attached are a few shots of the Heavy tank resin components and some pictures of a mock up build, note that some of the components shown in this build will be metal in the production model. We will be releasing two versions for the ARC Fleet heavy tank, the Mark I turret version, a buttoned up resin turret, and the Mark II Command turret which comes with two crew and two hatches which can be positioned as required. Both variants will be supplied with three barrel options, the rail gun, the cannon, and the energy gun, and two missile packs. AFVH9 will be the ARC Fleet Heavy Tank MkI. £8.50 AFVH10 will be the ARC Fleet MkII. £9.50 AFVH11 will be the ARC Fleet heavy Tank Platoon consisting of 2 MkI kits and 1 MkII kit. £23.50
The females of this horrible species frequently reach lengths of 60 feet or more, and live underground, making multiple tunnels to the surface, then laying in wait below ground, sensing the slighted vibration and the best tunnel to use to surprise the unwary creature above the surface. The creature will then rush to the surface, impale the prey with its spiky mouthparts, and suck all of the juices from the creature, leaving a dried, leathery husk. Naturally the prey often attempts to fight back, but the bloodworm's segmented armour is like steel, protection from the sharpest spear or sword. The males are small and inoffensive creatures that live at the roots of trees placidly sucking the sap, and are sought out by the females only for mating, though they are a delicacy on Mystri Island when they can be dug up. A towering worm monster well over 25mm tall, this creature will be a serious menace for your Mystri Island adventurers, and would even give serious pause to a 28mm character! Sculpted by Mark Evans. Bloodworm painted by Carl Robson.
These are deployed by drop pod by the Pelagic Dominate, often hours, days or even weeks before an invasion. They sow mayhem in the enemy lines, as they are able to stalk the enemy whilst nearly invisible, slowly creeping forward or ensconced in an ambush position, standing motionless for hours or even days before striking precisely and with lightning speed. If the invasion fails, they often go feral and constitute a major menace to the sentient population. Two stalking poses, two striking poses.
these are a sentient Reptilian species that evolved from a race similar to the great Tyrannosaurs of old Earth. Hulking and powerful, the exclusively carnivorous Garn are driven by two hearts and a relentless appetite for flesh and booty. These warriors need little protection other than their own thick, scaly skin as each wears an advanced technology force field on its back, and they carry large weapons of considerable power. In short, the normal Garn warrior is easily a match for the elite power armoured terran soldier, and is possessed of an irresistible will to conquer.
