A few of the more eagle-eyed among you have already noticed the 15mm
Kra'Vak vehicles on our webstore (www.gzg.com) - so here's the
"OFFICIAL" announcement of them, plus an extra one that you definitely won't
have seen yet.....

Now in production, and ready for launch at Salute this Saturday:

V15-31A Kra'Vak Heavy Grav Tank £8.00 each
V15-32A Kra'Vak Heavy Grav APC  £8.00 each
V15-33A Kra'Vak Heavy Grav SP Artillery £8.50 each
V15-34A Kra'Vak Strike Skimmer  £6.00 each

Platoon Box deals will also be available, and we'll have a limited number of
these at the show.

The first three vehicles have been up on the store since last weekend, because
we had to get them uploaded before our Webmaster
went off for a short holiday, but the fourth (the Strike Skimmer - a
really viciously-armed grav support gunship) is only just ready, so
you're seeing it here for the first time! All of them are in production, but
they are not available by mailorder until after the show this weekend.

As usual, they are all-metal multipart kits, and for size reference
all pics have been taken on a 1-centimetre-grid mat. The figures
shown are for scale only, and are from our SG15-K1 and -K2 Kra'Vak
infantry and Riding Beast packs.

As well as their intended use with our K'V forces, these will serve
very well for many other high-tech-using alien races - I'm sure you
can think of some obvious candidates!

And for the Vacc-Heads....

New FULL THRUST STARSHIP range releases for SALUTE this weekend.....

A mixed bag of FT starship new releases for the show on the 19th -
three new PHALON ships and three new MERCHANTS!

For the Phalon fleet, we have a new ATTACK CRUISER - a
Battlecruiser-sized strike ship - and two Transports or Fleet
Auxiliaries, all sculpted by Dave Garnham (who did the original Phalon vessels
for us many years ago). The transports can be used as
tankers, supply ships or even assault carriers - the spheroids
"budding" off the hulls could easily be ablative-shielded drop pods,
Hu'Man intelligence is not quite sure yet.....

FT815 Gruuss Class Attack Cruiser £4.00
FT816   Viiyaan Class Medium Podship (transport/auxiliary)
£4.00
FT817   Tuuyaan Class Small Podship (transport/auxiliary)
£3.00

Then we have three new Merchants/Civilian ships; the two smaller ones
will be familiar to those of you who attended the GZG-ECC, as we
provided a supply of them as freebies for the attendees - now they
are on general sale so you can all add them to your Merchant Convoys, Refugee
Fleets or whatever!
The big all-new release, just moulded this week, is a huge REFINERY
SHIP - even bigger than most of the FT Superdreadnoughts!  A
simple-to-assemble 10-piece all metal kit, this impressive beast just
calls out to be the centrepiece of many scenarios!

FT343 Luxury Space Yacht (pack of 2) £2.50 FT344 Merino Class Livestock
Transport £3.00 FT345 Refinery Ship £12.00

SALUTE SPECIAL!   Buy all three new Merchant releases at the show and
get them for just £15.00 instead of £17.50! Offer applies while stocks last
on the day!

It's been master-moulded, but for some odd reason it's just one of
those things that is giving us a lot of problems actually casting -
to the point where I haven't yet been able to spare the time to work on it and
figure out why it's being so difficult. Sometimes it's the simplest shapes
that prove the most troublesome.... casting and mouldmaking are still very
much in the realm of the dark arts rather than science!

If I can ever persevere with it long enough without hurling the mould
across the workshop, I'll let you know......   :-/
