Sticking to our simple tried-and-trusted formula, all of our models are <strong>15% off<\/strong> for the duration (see below for full details).<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re running the sale slightly earlier this year &#8211; the first reason for this is to allow overseas customers to place orders and hopefully get them in time for Christmas (we&#8217;ll publish the recommended last posting dates in the next few days). The second reason is that, hopefully (and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brigademodels.co.uk\/Blog\/2015\/12\/unclean\/\">nasty flu bugs<\/a> notwithstanding) I should be able to clear most, if not all of the sale orders before the Christmas holiday starts. In previous years I&#8217;ve had a break between Christmas and the New Year, and a huge mass of orders piles up so that when I return to work I&#8217;m faced with a week or two just clearing the backlog.<\/p>\n<p>There are just a few exceptions and conditions, as you might expect &#8230; shipping will still be charged at the full rate, since we were unable to persuade the post office to match our offer. The discount covers all of our metal and resin models &#8211; but it doesn&#8217;t apply to rulebooks, dice, bases, Shapeways items or anything else that we don&#8217;t manufacture ourselves, simply because the margins on those items are much tighter. However, starter packs with rules, dice or bases in are covered by the offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2016 has flown by, and it&#8217;s the time of year again when the Brigade Elves dust off their little hats with the bells on, while Phil&#8217;s looking dapper in his red and green tights again.
