\"\"<\/p>\n

We have some very exciting news to announce today. As followers of our Facebook page<\/a> may already know, we’ve agreed with Ainsty Castings to take over ownership and production of the Hammer’s Slammers<\/a> range of 15mm vehicles, based on David Drake’s series of SF combat stories. This includes both the Slammers’ own vehicles plus the ones of other forces such as the Thunderbolt half-tracks and Broglie’s Legion blower vehicles, along with decals and other accessories.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This brings both the 6mm and 15mm Hammer’s Slammers ranges under our roof now, and of course many of our existing models already feature in the Slammer’s universe in other mercenary forces.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We’ve already been talking to John Treadaway, one of the authors of The Crucible<\/em>, the official Hammer’s Slammers ruleset, about further development of the range including additional vehicles for the Slammers themselves and more opposition forces. This will include many of the vehicles that are mentioned in the rulebook but which have never been available in 15mm or 6mm. The first of these should start appearing in the first quarter of 2018.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, we’re hoping to start production of at least part of the range within a couple of weeks – our target is to have at least some stock available at Crisis<\/a> next weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
