Little update regarding the 3mm line:

 

 

3mm News

Just thought I'd post about what is happening with the 3mm range, this page was originally set up to promote/support my 3mm models so just exactly what is happening on the 3mm side of things.

First off I will say that no the 3mm range is not being discontinued as some people have feared far from it in fact as I intend to release a bunch of new models and re-worked old sets next week or at least early in April.

What are we likely to see you ask, slight revisions to the Novan Elites core century sets with the rest of the Elites models now in small Maniple packs. Similar revisions to the Novan Regulars company sets with several new tank platoon packs added. And finally for this re-launch we have wave 1 of the Skinners faction with further additions to follow.

What about the Cybershadows you say, the Warstalkers will still be limited availability for a while I'm afraid but I'm looking to get them manufactured by my main casters once things get back to normal which will increase availability considerably. Also looking at conventional forces for them too such as infantry and the crab tanks.

A lot of 3mm terrain items are also under development more on this as we near production.

So as you can see the 3mm has not gone or been abandoned but is alive and well and expanding in the very near future.

The 3mm Novan Elites line has been repackaged: https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/defeat-in-detail-3mm/3mm-novan-elites/

Message from Vanguard Miniatures:

 

News flash,

The second batch of Affray has already been sold out, but a further batch is already inbound for later this week. I also have the main Regulars Siege infantry sets here to sort and bag they should be up in the next few days, as well as Skinners infantry leaders and more Centurion tanks.

Re-stocks are understandable slow at this time but stuff is trickling in and many items are on order. I apologies that so many items are out of stock but there's not much I can do about it I'm afraid, Covid has disrupted manufacture and supply.

I must thank you all for the many orders placed over these last few months really appreciated.

Cheers John

In the meantime, a small teaser of things to come:

[malika666]

A little message from Vanguard Miniatures:

 

 

General stock situation

The stock situation is currently in flux, due to the large number of orders received over the last two months demand has outstripped supply. Covid 19 has caused huge delays on both manufacture and resupply and I don’t see that changing any time soon. I do have items trickling in all the time but overall re-stock supply is slow so please be aware of that.

I do have on order around 60 moulds to be run to bring the stock levels back to some semblance of normality but I have no idea when any of these will start arriving so its a waiting game I’m afraid.

Expected in this coming week will be another batch of the very popular Affray set B and a few other Elites sets will be back up amongst others. I also have in now several new release items that will start making an appearance in the coming weeks.

Plastic strips bases are also here and will be back up in store as soon as I can find time to count and bag some.

Finally I’d like to announce a shutdown period that will most likely be at the end of this month nominally for a week. This will mean I will not be accepting or processing new orders during that time. Reasons are many but I need to step back and take a break from processing orders in order to tidy up loose ends, take stock of the business situation and inventory remaining stock amongst other things.

Kind regards John

[malika666]

Coming soon...

[malika666]

A little update:

 

 

Ordering will be reactivated this Wednesday. Anyone browsing the site may have already spotted the new releases, 3mm planes and the first of the new Eloi Federation models plus the airborne demolition drones.The airborne troopers and specialists sets will follow next week.

That being said...

Novan Regulars Airborne – Demolition Drones - £3.00

https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/eloi-federation-infantry-detachment/

Eloi Federation – Tempest Grav-tank - £8.00

 

Tempest grav-tank
The Tempest is the most commonly encountered anti-gravity combat vehicle of the Eloi Federation. A swift and highly manoeuvrable vehicle combining unprecedented mobility with lethal and highly accurate firepower.
Tempests are known to be crewed by two Eloi, a pilot/driver and a weapons operator both of which sit in the small rear compartment. The apparent central cockpit is in fact a highly advanced sensor array, real time data gathering module and terrain following suite linked directly to the crew by a neural linked helmet interface. This gives both crew members unprecedented situational awareness of their surroundings on the battlefield.
Common armaments for the dorsal turret are a high energy long barrelled laser cannon deadly against armoured targets in combination with a tri-barrelled pulse laser providing rapid fire capability against infantry and light vehicle targets, other weapon combinations have also been observed.
The graceful curvature and the thick well slopped composite armour plates of Eloi vehicles provide excellent protection from enemy fire but it is the tanks speed and agility that is considered to be its primary defensive measure.
Set contains:
3 x Tempest grav-tank hulls
3 x Tempest turrets
Model approximate dimensions: L 41mm, W 26mm, H 7.5mm not including turret

https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/eloi-federation-tempest-grav-tank/

Eloi Federation – Zephyr Grav-tank - £8.50

 

Zephyr recon tank

The Zephyr is an extensively modified version of the Tempest grav-tank created to fulfil a reconnaissance role for Eloi armoured battlegroups. Modifications for this vehicle include further silencing of the already quiet main drive engines and the fitting of a chameleon like cloaking field array to the forward hull sections that when active mimics the appearance and colouring of the surrounding terrain rendering the vehicle extremely hard to see. The rear compartment has been extended backwards allowing room for a small scout team to be embarked as required.

Armaments are usually of the lighter kind than seen on the Tempest as the Zephyrs roll is information gathering and observation of enemy activity ahead of the Eloi advance not combat. But on occasion it has been recorder that Zephyr stealth attack squadrons fitted with heavier firepower have been used to great effect in aggressive hit and run attacks on isolated enemy formations and lightly defended positions.

Set contains:

3 x Zephyr grav-tank hulls

3 x Zephyr turrets

Model approximate dimensions: L 46mm, W 31mm, H 8.5mm not including turret
