The Loose Association of Wargamers

After a busy start to the year with BKC-IV, Kickstarters and more, it's finally time for some new 10mm releases!

Pirates have been in our Top 10 requests for quite some time now so we've decided to give them a go. We've done a nice captain figure, along with 5 different poses of pirates armed with musket, pistol and cutlass. These chaps would also do duty as slave revolt / mutiny types in areas like the Haitain Revolution, so we hope you like them!

More to come very soon with some Marlburian revamps and then the launch of our 1809 Napoleonic expansion, once all of the pre-orders have been posted out.

Another feature of our Top 10 requests has been some additions for the Vietnam ranges, so we've got a few extra figures done to help fill some support roles in your forces! This little batch includes a forward observer, a medic and a radio operator and rounds out our existing range nicely.

More to come very soon with some Marlburian revamps and then the launch of our 1809 Napoleonic expansion, once all of the pre-orders have been posted out.

Some of our Marlburian codes were done by a different sculptor many years ago so we thought it was about time to get them revamped! The foot command, artillery crews and Austrian cuirassiers have all been replaced with nice new sculpts, which brings them into line with the other figures in this range.

For anyone needing any of the old figures, we'll still have the moulds here and can supply those for you to finish off existing armies.

Something for the WWI gamers now, as we've released a complete trench railway system along with a Simplex locomotive to run on it!

These railways were developed during the trench warfare period of WWI to allow the delivery of food, ammunition and contruction materials to the front line, where the usual transport networks had been destroyed. These narrow gauge tracks created a connection to the standard gauge railways further back from the front line and proved extremely successful. As well as the UK, similar railways were used by Russia, France and Germany, with a variety of gauges in use from 600mm to 750mm (ours is 600mm).

Simplex were known as Motor Rail during the war and were one of several producers of locomotives and wagons to run on these new trench railways. We've done the early style of tractor with the open top, later versions had a covered roof over them and armoured side doors. We've also done a small handcart as well, which could be pushed along the rail in front of the locomotive with smaller items or wounded soldiers on it.

And a couple of pics:







Next in the release queue is a bit of a surprise, so keep an eye out for that!

Very smart looking.

Now Peeler can live his dream of growing a small, but perfectly tended, moustache and getting the trains to run on time......

A quick release for the larger scale gamers this time, as we've added a selection of the Pegasus Hobbies bricks and sandbags to the Minibits website. These would probably be too big for 10mm games, but the small bricks are good for 15mm & 20mm, while the large bricks would suit 25/28mm and upwards. The sandbags are also best used with 25/28mm and above.

Pegasus Hobbies

PEG-PG5195 Sandbags £10.95
PEG-PG5196 Large Bricks, grey £7.95

PEG-PG5198 Small Bricks, grey £7.95
PEG-PG5199 Small Bricks, red £7.95












We've got some more third-party stuff coming this weekend, along with a special 10mm piece... Next week we've got a revamped TB Line range and some useful game bits for Blitzkrieg Commander, so keep an eye out for those!

Well we promised you something special and here it is! Many years ago we had a V1 with a launch ramp, but it was a single piece casting and quite basic so we decided to upgrade it a little bit...!

This new launch ramp is a fantastic bit of work by John at Ironclad Miniatures and has been given an equally outstanding paintjob by the talented Jason Dawson of JAD Designs. John has based the design on the launch sites found at du Mesnil au Val or Vacquerie Le Boucq.

Comprising of 8 pieces, the resin launch ramp comes in two base pieces along with a ramp, 4 supports and a sentry box. We've then added a pair of engineers, plus a couple of sentries and a guard dog. This is a big kit, measuring 330x140mm overall (210mm for the ramp) and would make an excellent objective in your WWII games. You could add a countdown factor for added excitement, stop the rocket before it launches in turn 6...! It would of course look just as good as a terrain piece on any northern France tables.
