Subject: [OFFICIAL] News from the Shipyards (and the armaments manufacturers!)
Hi all, This year we haven't been able to get anything like as many new releases out as we'd have liked to, largely due to big chunks of Real Life (TM) getting in the way, but at long last the GZG shipyards are back in full swing!! The latest batch of New Israeli FT ships are already approaching completion - enough new ship classes to fill out the fleet, including the smaller escort classes, more cruisers and the big dreadnoughts and carriers! If/when time allows, watch also for a few NEW classes for other navies like the NSL and NAC....! As soon as they are master-moulded we'll post some piccies of them, and then as soon as they are actually in production they'll be up on the website for ordering (probably with a special fleet deal to launch them). We're hoping that they'll be available in plenty of time for the SELWG show in London on the 17th October. Watch our announcements to the list, and news updates on the website, for more details! For the ground pounders among you, particularly those into our 15mm range, we are happy to announce some new items that a lot of you have been asking for - "generic" style HEAVY WEAPONS CREWS, in fatigues and light body armour, with a choice of headgear - to start with, they will be available with choice of peaked field caps, berets or a generic-style combat helmet (a simple round "bonedome" helmet similar to the Slammers figures). To accompany the crew figure packs, we're also releasing the first of a wide range of HEAVY AND SUPPORT WEAPONS - RAM mortars, plasma guns, autocannons, missile launchers, anti-tank cannons and the like, on tripod groundmounts, wheeled mounts or GEV sleds! Watch for more news of these new releases in the next couple of weeks - again, they should be fully available in time for SELWG! All the best,
