Remember our Black Friday Season Event is on now!

Until 9am GMT Tuesday 27th November our Black Friday Season Mega Event is on. We have automatic Free Worldwide Shipping on all orders over 15GBP of product placed in the cart (you need do nothing but add to cart but please note tracked shipping remains a flat 10GBP charge to select) and we have TEN brand new releases too during the event.  Each of these new releases ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER CODE ON THE WEBSITE is 10% off regular price during the event and they are all online now with a place holder image; getting their own news during the event (such as this news). Go HERE for our blog post on the event in detail.

“All across the core star systems and on Terra itself there is a need for security after, during and even before the high rollers and expensive kit arrives in the battle zone. Security Force Alpha is just that force filling in as police, paramilitaries, mercenaries and planetary militias too. They are the faceless grunts that do the thankless jobs needed by all those who govern, control or enforce. Use them as you will from the near to the far future!”

Alternative Armies has embarked upon expanding the Security Force Alpha (SFA) array of codes within the HOF 15mm Science Fiction Range in conjunction with prolific wargamer Fred Richards who has a vision of space colony warfare in the near future which we find captivating and wanted to get in on.  From the mind of Mr Richards and the guys at Alternative Armies comes the fifth release in this thread the multi-role battlesuit as a part of Fred's vision for the future.

HOF121 Bear Cat Battlesuit

This pack contains one 15mm scale white metal and grey tone resin vehicle kit which can be outfitted in several roles.  The Bear Cat (known as the Hell Cat in its loaded for battle variants) is composed of a lower body part, an upper body part which includes armoured cockpit as well as a left arm ending in a fist and right arm ending in a wrist.   Fittings for that wrist supplied are a twin barrel rotary cannon, a large chainsaw and a large power drill.  There are also two supplied top mount weapon options a missile pod and a machine gun.  Assemble your battlesuit for war or construction work or as a scrapheap post apoc project.  Use the pieces left over for your bits box.  When built the Bear Cat is approx 45mm tall.  This code is supplied unassembled and unpainted and without a base.   It goes excellently with any science fiction force in 15mm scale.  Go HERE.  8.00GBP.

Above is a picture of the parts of this code as supplied.  A lot of variety!

Here are two examples of the Bear Cat.  The first in the colours of Security Force Alpha fitted out for war and the second is a space scheme for a battlesuit outfitted to break into moon domes.  Enjoy!

We are very lucky to have pro-painted examples of the Bear Cat from the legend that is Mastergunz over the USA.  His take on this battlesuit comes in two forms one for combat and the other for construction.  Here are his shots, all make from the kit parts and ain't they ruddy awesome!

If you are interested in fielding a force of these Human Soldiers then you are in for a treat as there is a very wide array of choice for you.  Here is a list of all of the current Security Force Alpha packs.

Giant Mecha released in 15mm scale at The Ion Age

The Black Friday Event is underway at The Ion Age and it has a lot in store for fans of 15mm science fiction wargaming.  Until 9am GMT 27th November 2018 we have automatic Free Worldwide Shipping on all orders over 15GBP of product placed in the cart (you need do nothing but add to cart but please note tracked shipping remains a flat 10GBP charge to select) and we have bonus items and discounts on the brand new Magog War Mecha.  You save 10% to 20% on regular prices of this mighty war machines plus you get a free gift worth 5GBP with every mecha purchased.  Go HERE for our Early Supporters page. 

Our Black Friday Season Event with your Order means that each time you order a Magog (from one to any number) we will automatically add a pack of IAF081 Taranis Runner Drones(5 different miniatures) worth 5.00GBP to that mecha kit.  This lasts until the end of the event and you need do nothing except order.  Like Taranis Tanks the Magogs have a drone control station meaning they can use these fleet footed robots in battle.  A super offer.

Lastly all of our digital download books such as those in the Patrol Angis series are discounted until the end of the event and Cyber Monday.  We have taken a further 20% off each book during this period meaning they are now 40% cheaper than the print books.  Go HERE for Patrol Angis and HERE for the MOTH game system.

Now onto the giant robots!  Allow me to present the biggest damn infantry in the Prydian Precinct the Magogs!

'Magogs' our word in the setting of the far future Prydian Precinct for 'Mecha'; for walking giant machines with pilots.  In 15mm scale and sculpted by Sam Croes these models will come as easy to assemble kits.  Easy to build and to use in play in Patrol Angis or any other game system since we make gaming miniatures not fine scale models; they are durable. Three new codes plus a three bundle and a special 'mecha builder' code which will allow you to choose your own assembly of Magog (centred around weapon load out choosing legs and head types) and two new sizes of resin bases for big war machines.  When built a Magog stands some 80mm tall (about 26 foot or just under 8 metres in the real world). Taken from IAF017 Ellen and Ripley pack the shown female knight is 16mm tall.  Great for any game system. There are a lot more images of each model on the website if you would like to click through on the codes which interest you. Go HERE.

“The largest walkers in the Prydian Precinct the Magogs are a class of war machine which tower over all others.  Piloted by a pair of veteran crew each Magog carries the mightiest weapons into battle and is the equal to the finest of other armoured vehicles. They are giant knights.  They are the mecha of the Marcher Barons and among them the Targa Works type 50 variants rule supreme.  Magogs are giants of legend given titanium alloy form in the war against the Khanate.”
