It’s been busy here at Brigade Towers lately, with a rash of shows, contributions to Kickstarter campaigns and trade orders (and I didn’t help the backlog by going away on holiday for a week !). However, we’re up to date on website orders again (Thomas Graves of Columbus, Ohio – please check your emails, we need to contact you about your order for 15mm buildings) and the pre-orders for Crisis are also ready (we’re still happy to take more – they need to be in by Wednesday, please).<\/p>\n

Imperial Skies<\/a> news first, with two stock updates. The good news is that laser-cut acrylic turn rulers<\/a> are now back in stock again. The not-so-good is that we’ve sold out of the first printing of rulebooks<\/a>, so we’re waiting on delivery of a new batch – I’m hoping we’ll have some for Crisis but there are no guarantees.<\/p>\n

Our remaining new release schedule for the year has been thrown out a little bit with one or two items having to be pushed into the new year. But we still have some new bits this week – quite a few in fact. We’ve added all of the new turret types from the recent Aeronef<\/a> battleship releases to the website as accessory packs<\/a>, allowing you to convert or upgrade your models with extra firepower. There are other useful bits such as large battleship masts and funnels as well for further conversions or scratchbuilding. There are twelve packs in all at the same price of just \u00a31.50 each.<\/p>\n

The picture below shows as an example the various parts of the Vanguard that are now available:
