New on the website today - some very handy blank ship cards for Imperial Skies, ideal for existing ships or your own designs.

Baffin's Legion has arrived in the 6mm Slammerverse - nine new GEV vehicles to battle Hammer's troops.

Guess what - we forgot to click 'publish' on this week's new release on Friday (doh !). So, a day or two late, we give you the new German Westfalen class battleship…

A visitor to Colours kindly pointed us at this brilliant video from Simon Clark that uses our Small Scale Scenery range to illustrate the possibilities of greener cities.

The Scandinavian Union required a vessel to support fixed wing operations north of the Arctic circle. After efforts to convert capital ship hulls came to nothing, the solution was a converted freighter hull which became the Peder Skram class aircraft tender. #ImperialSkies
Our website has developed a nasty infection this morning. Germy's 3mm micro armour has a new home with us, and the first 21 packs are available now. There are more to follow, and we're also developing a range of buildings to go with them.
Back from my hols and back to the grindstone ! I've already made a decent dent in the order backlog.
Our last show for this year is RE-PLAY 2025 at the Royal Engineers Museum in Gillingham, Kent. Links in the next post...

It's holiday time here at Brigade - I'm off to explore part of Turkey, climbing over Greek and Roman ruins as research for our Small Scale Scenery range. Or perhaps I'll just spend the week on a sunlounger sampling the complimentary cocktails...
Back again on the 30th.

New for Hammer's Slammers - a set of full-colour MDF counters for tracking orders, damage and missiles.
On Battle of Britain day, here's a Spitfire flying low over Brigade HQ. We're not far from Headcorn airfield in Kent, so the distinctive drone of Merlin engines is a common sound during the summer months.

Our 15mm sci-fi bunker has been revamped and returned to production. It now has extra interior detail with a comms station, bench seats and weapons/equipment lockers lining the walls.

Latest releases on the website - two new freighters in the spaceships range, the Umbriel and Auberon.
Link in reply.
A recent addition to the website is the USS Rogers class battleship for #ImperialSkies. Built in the same airship yards as the Texas class, the resemblance to the earlier vessel is readily apparent, but the Rogers class is more heavily armed.

And finally, today's releases - 6mm and 15mm versions of the Centurion C4G6 Gorgon, a large multi-wheeled campaign vehicle fitted with a heavily armed turret. Used by the Heliodorus Regiment in Hammer's Slammer.

Next, a couple of Art Deco buildings from our home town, Maidstone - the Rootes Building, a large car showroom in the middle of town, and Granada House, once home of Maidstone's best model shop (now sadly closed).
We're a bit behind on updating you all with new releases - so expect a little flurry of posts. First up, a lovely one-of-a-kind tower on a rocky outcrop from the talented Phil Page of Slug Industries. It comes with several options for the top of the rock as you can see.
