Most of our spaceship fleets are human fleets, based as they are around the background from Wessex Games’ long-out-of-print Iron Cow<\/em> ruleset. We do have a couple of alien fleets, and today one of those is getting a complete revamp.<\/p>\n

The Yenpalo are humanoid reptilians with a thing about hexagons and the number six. Our existing fleet was designed by Phil long ago, but has been on the replacement list for a little while as the moulds aren’t in great shape. The new ships were created by James Claypole from Beadspoke Designs<\/a> who offered them to us as he’d already designed them and just wanted to see them come to life as physical models.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are five ships in this initial offering, ranging from battlecruiser down to corvette, plus a fleet pack. These replace the original Yenpalo designs which are no longer available (as I said, the moulds really did need replacing…)<\/p>\n

SFSP-1101<\/a> – Yenpalo Attack Fleet – \u00a322.00<\/p>\n

SFS-1100<\/a> – Klaion class Battlecruiser – \u00a34.50
