Yesterday, for the first time in three months, I left the workshop on time and with the order queue empty – for a brief period we were completely up to date with orders (of course, by the time I got home 25 minutes later there was already a new one…).<\/p>\n

This feels like a cause for celebration, so we feel it’s time to start rolling out some of the many new releases that we’ve been sitting on. Back before A Billion Suns sent everyone into a spaceship-buying frenzy, we promised lots of new bits for the 6mm SF gamer. This is the first of those, and another addition to the Hammer’s Slammers<\/a> range.<\/p>\n

Back in the dim and distant days of 2020 I wrote a blog post about painting 6mm armour with contrast paints<\/a>, using some new brand new models for the Prosperity National Army<\/a> as test subjects. Six months later, those models are finally<\/em> hitting the website. There are two vehicles, the Colonial Light Tank and the Pioneer Amphibious APC, each with a variety of turret options. We also have three associated detachment packs – Armoured and Mechanised Infantry (both Trained units with 15 TUs) and a Marine detachment (these are Veterans, so 10 TUs). The planet of Prosperity is the setting for one of the best known of the Hammer’s Slammers stories, Rolling Hot, with its climactic armoured battle.<\/p>\n

HS6-3801<\/a> – Colonial Light Tank – \u00a31.00
\nHS6-3802<\/a> – Pioneer APC – \u00a31.00<\/p>\n

HSD6-3801<\/a> – Prosperity Armoured Squadron – \u00a313.50
