[moredakka]

Just an update on the stock situation. There are a few items across the store that are out of or low in stock all these items will be back in the inventory over the next month or so.

At the moment I have the following orders in:

More Battlescene terrain.

All new Onslaught releases being shipped to me next week.

A massive general re-stock of Onslaught is being processed.

And I have a top up order in for my 6mm range and the starships.

So plenty of stock will be headed my way and I have a few more ranges under negotiation too for possible inclusion in store.

Many thanks for your continued support.

TMG’s crowdfunder 1 plastic’s update.

Situation is this, Ben and myself have agreed the terms and signed the contract for me to package and ship all the funder 1 pledges. So to that end a few weeks ago I received 14 big boxes full of 3000 sprues and 16000 bases ready for when I can start the job.

There has been a minor hiccup in that the skinnerz big guns for the artillery pledges have gone missing and so we need to get a new mould made in order to fufill these items, other than that it’s just down to me having the time to squeeze the job in. I plan to ship over the course of a month but hopefully quicker than that it all depends on work comitments/real life.

Rest assured I will post again as soon as the shipments begin and I should be starting very soon.

125 of 127 pledges shipped.

State of play as of today 11/05/16

The following two pledgers still need address confirmations.

Asbjorn Heike Hagen Norway
Daniel Sanchez Campos Spain

The following pledges have been returned for unknown reasons, these people need to contact me to sort out why they were not delivered.

Micael Oliveira Portugal
Baudin France
Hugo Bunouf France

If I do not hear from the people listed by the end of this week then I will hand this information back to Ben and leave it for him to sort out before shipping these out again.

So people this is the last call from me if you want your plastics please get in touch.

Cheers

You and me both mate it cost me an extra £380 odd quid to get my goods from customs on top of what I payed to buy them in the first place.

That’s a huge chunk of profit lost for me.

Great looking website dude. I’ve put my gaming club on to you (we’re doing a lot of Epic proxying) so hope to pass some business your way.

Now that I have activated a trader account on the Wargames Website I decided to resurrect my old vanguard thread and will try to keep you all up to date with news posts and answer any questions about vanguard or any other related subject for that matter that you may have here in this thread.

I know at least some of my customers frequent this site, hi guys you know who you are, and I hope to appeal to many more.

Kind regards John (vanguard minis)

WB!

[Thaddeus Blanchette]

Fucking great minis, people! Check ‘em out!

We get slapped around, but we have a good time!

[Mike]

Steady on old chap.

[moredakka]

Hi Thaddeus many thanks for the endorsement appreciated.

Back in stock today we have the very popular 25mm round plastic bases. Please note that they now come with a bevelled edge a necessity for manufacture and so are not 100% compatible with the older version.

Find them here:

25mm Round Plastic Bases (50)

Agent of the later Novan Hegemony the Novan Convent forces provide internal security and act as defenders of Saullo’s empire and bringers of justice to unruly member states amongst their many other duties.

Originally a commission set and now being released as part of the Defeat in Detail line are these all female elite warriors. Convent forces are a secretive, fanatically loyal and feared military arm of the Novan Hegemony.

Find them here:  https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/defeat-in-detail-6mm/tusculum-nova/novan-convent/

 

[Deleted User]

These are nice, but I’m guessing no chance of them being in 3mm?

[Rhoderic]

Great addition to the range.

Wyvern dropship inbound, the second in a series of resin kits expanding the Novan Elites air assets is in store now.

https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-elites-wyvern-light-dropship/

The Wyvern light dropship serves a complementary role to its larger cousin the Eagle as an orbital insertion troop and equipment lander, enabling Novan Elite forces to rapidly establish a deployable beachhead within the chosen target zone. While the Wyvern cannot match the Eagle in total transport capacity, its higher top speed, smaller size and integrated vectored thrusters make the Wyvern perfect for maneuvering in confined landing zones and urban environments. These traits, combined with the Wyvern’s flexible, modular design make them ideal for deploying a variety of small fire teams to key battlefield locations.

Two variants currently serve with the Novan Elites forces:

Wyvern A is a dedicated troop carrier.

Wyvern B replaces the passenger bay in favour of an open cargo bay and attachment claw assemble with magnetic locking points for various cargo modules.

 

This set contains the parts to make one Wyvern dropship model, either the troop carrier or cargo module hauler variant.

Model approximate dimensions: Length = 50mm, Wingspan = 52mm, Height = 12mm.

Please note that this model can only be built in flight mode and that we will look at the potential for a landed version should demand require it.

Flight stand included.

This is a multi-part resin casting.

[moredakka]

Returning today after a long absence for the 6mm Skinners range are these Mk2 light Ironclad walkers, they will be joined at a later date by the heavy Ironclads completing both options in the original set.

Released this morning another infantry set for the 6mm Cybershadows in the form of the Precursors, these cyborg troops form the core of the Cybershadows conventional ground forces, sporting advanced combat armour and plasma pulse rifles these deadly soldiers are not to be underestimated.

Cybershadow – Precursors

[moredakka]

Released this morning the first in a new range of Vanguard resin and metal terrain models, this first 6mm scale release is a set of small shipping containers for the Novan faction, but they could easily be used in any general sci-fi game system as well. Set contains six models in two variants.

https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-light-shipping-containers/

[moredakka]

Released this fine sunny Sunday morning is yet another 6mm Cybershadow infantry set. This time round we have the Sentinels an elite arm of the Cybershadow Precursors, the Sentinels can be found guarding all Cybershadow installations as well as acting as bodyguards to high ranking Cybershadow VIP’s.

Set contains 40 x Sentinel figures.

Cybershadow – Sentinels

Painted by me in Ferro Ascendancy colours.

Flight base not included.

[Rhoderic]

Great! I didn’t dare hope that the starships range would continue to be expanded.

[moredakka]

Plenty more ships are planned, next up should be another Elites destroyer variant and an assault frigate to name just two.

[Michael Hobbs]

oh dear

News 27/08/19

Another update for you all on what exactly is happening here at Vanguard.

6mm Skinners infantry set B will be remoulded late this week early next with new masters and so will be back in store by the end of September.

Plenty of new 6mm products are lined up including Skinners tank variants, new Skinners leaders in heavy armour, updated gobblers and a new fighter.

Also for 6mm are new Desert troops sets, a new IFV and heavy assault transport for the regulars, and possible a few new tanks too. Next 6mm release should be the Cybershadow combat automaton set 1 and there are still yet more Cybershadow units to come.

3mm hope to see the Elites gunships in production very soon now and Skinners sets should appear in a few months time. We will also be getting the 3mm terrain models back in stock at some point.

Starships, the Dreadnought and Firedrake are on order and should also be in soon. I have three more metal ship releases for the Elites, all these should be out before the end of the year. There are also a few secret project pieces to come for this range too, more on that as I near production.

Terrain, I have around half a dozen new resin cast terrain items coming for 6mm, most if not all should see a September release. We are also looking at adapting a lot of Troublemaker Games last kickstarter campaign stl designs into actual physical models for retail so potentially a lot of new terrain pieces to come in the future. Some of these may see a 3mm release as well.

As can been seen we have plenty going on in the background and plenty of new releases to come before years end.

Regards John

[Deleted User]

Excited about the 3mm terrain, been waiting for those.

[Darkest Star Games]

Really like the ships.  A buddy bought some of the larger cruisers and battleship to be his “lost in the warp for forever” Imperial BSG fleet and I like them a heck of a lot more than his GW “grand cruisers” that originally represented the older but more advanced ships.  Keep those coming!

"I saw this in a cartoon once, but I'm pretty sure I can do it..."

[moredakka]

Thanks guys.

[Rhoderic]

3mm Skinners are probably what I’m looking forward to the most. They’re what I need for the Vanguard 3mm range to reach “critical mass”. That said, more spaceships will be very welcome as well, and 6mm desert troops are another bit of goodness I can’t say no to.

[moredakka]

New release

Another 6mm release for the ever expanding Cybershadows range this time in the form of a combat automaton, the first in a new line of battle robots for the Defeat in Detail range.

CA100-A, Combat Automaton series 100 – Alpha variant.

A very old but still quite potent battle robot design of the first generation of mechanical warriors created by the Cybershadows, the CA100-A is a general purpose battle unit equipped with under slung HMG’s and combat claws on its arms and a light cannon on it shoulder mount. Deployed in large numbers these machines are a potent and relentless threat only stopping once their objectives have been achieved or they are all destroyed during the execution of their programmed mission.

Set contains 4 x CA100-A robots in four poses.

Model height approx. 18mm including shoulder cannon.

Painted by me.

Cybershadow – Combat Automaton CA100-A
