Tempesthawk is a four engine VTOL aircraft designed for 6mm gaming.
We’d hoped to give you some more previews today, but … Tony has been laid low by Covid (again). There’s something about Salute that brings out all manner of diseases and disasters at Brigade HQ in the weeks leading up to the show.
We do however have this quick snap taken last week. We will have a complete new fleet of spaceships at the show (all being well, and no other mishaps tripping us up along the way).
What we have done is added some new features to the website specifically for the show. UK customers can already select ‘Pickup at Show’ as a shipping option, which means they can place an order on the website for a show collection and not pay any postage charges. We’ve extended this so that customers overseas can also benefit – so far we’ve added France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, the USA and all countries in World Zone 1 (this is to accommodate a particular customer coming from Brazil !). If you’re coming from a country not on this list, let us know and we’ll add it for you. Or you can also just email us a list of what you would like and we can either send you an invoice, or you can pay on the day. Needless to say, we’d prefer orders for the show as soon as possible to allow us to get them ready.
We’ve got some more Sci-Fi releases for you next with ranges 5 and 6 now up on the website. The Griffon are an authoritarian state with some definite M113 vibes about their vehicles. The Free States are a smaller mercenary based range with some really nice gun platforms for their artillery.
These packs are all structured to provide a unit/base worth of figures, aside from the infantry that come in larger packs. The vehicles include driver/commander torsos too, to add a bit of extra detail.
All of these new figures are sculpted by Phil Lewis, along with vehicles/support weapons by Dennis Smith.

Next on this year’s Salute line-up are some classic models from the archives. We’ve dug Germy’s 15mm Cimexian bugs out of storage, revamped the masters (the formerly two part hulls are now one piece), made some new moulds and one of the galaxy’s slimier races has slithered back into view.
So far we’ve refurbished seven of the masters, with three tanks, an APC-equivalent, an artillery bug, a walker bug and finally a brain bug to control all of the others (the Lygan is the one missing from the photo). More photos as and when we finish painting these.
BUG15-001 – Ixod Heavy Tank – £9.00
BUG15-002 – Coccid Medium Tank – £8.00
BUG15-003 – Isop Light Tank – £6.00
BUG15-004 – Prion APC – £7.00
BUG15-005 – Homon Brain Bug – £5.00
BUG15-006 – Apis Walker – 8.00
BUG15-009 – Lygan Artillery Bug – £10.00
(Brigadier’s log, show date S-25)
Every year we try to come up with a lineup of new releases for Salute, and it’s time to start our previews of this year’s offerings.
Much of our 15mm sci-fi output in recent years has been concentrated on Hammer’s Slammers, but our first Salute release this year is anything but. Jeremey ‘Germy’ Claridge has created a new range of 15mm civilian adventurer figures for us, ideal for rulesets such as Stargrave, 5 Parsecs From Home and (of course) Traveller.
We have four packs of six figures, a mix of humans and various aliens. These include several Tolero who have obviously escaped Eta Odin IV and made their way in the big bad universe, plus a Yenpalo warrior alongside a number of others. As well as civilian adventurers, the figures would also work as ragtag mercenaries, insurgents or rebels.
This is pack one – we’ll be previewing the other packs as soon as we get them painted.
SF15-017 – Adventurers Pack #1 – £3.50
