NEW FULL THRUST STARSHIPS
Just a couple of FT releases this month, but definitely a taste of
things
to come! Over 2003 we plan to add some NEW ship classes to the existing
FT
fleets, as well as creating more completely new fleets for you. The two
ships in the photo are the first new additions to the Federal Stats
Europa
and Kra'Vak forces, and are also the first to be sculpted for us by
Oerjan
Ohlsson - we think you'll agree he's done a superb job of following the
style of the original FSE and KV ship designs while creating some
excellent
new miniatures. Watch out for a lot more coming in the FT line
throughout
2003!
AVAILABLE NOW:
FT 425 Kra'Vak TO'KI class Destroyer (pack of 2) £2.50
FT 625 FSE HYDRA class Destroyer (pack of 2) £2.50

"HAMMER'S SLAMMERS" FIGURES -
APPROVED BY DAVID DRAKE!
There can be very few fans of Military Science Fiction who haven't heard
of
David Drake's "HAMMER'S SLAMMERS" stories. For any of you who are not
familiar with the Slammers, they are a Mercenary Armoured Regiment for
hire
in a future universe of highly "balkanised" human colony worlds. If your
neighbouring colony is getting uppity and your citizen's militia can't
cope, hire Colonel Hammer's Regiment - they don't come cheap, but they
get
the job done!
The Slammers books have been firm favourites of SF wargamers for years,
but
until now on-one has produced any miniatures that REALLY depict the
toughest Mercenary unit in human space as the author intended them to
look.
Now, with the incredibly kind permission and approval of author and
creator
DAVID DRAKE himself, we are very proud to present the DEFINITIVE
miniatures
of the Slammers troopers in 25mm scale:

FIRST RELEASES: all at £1.00 each.
HS-01A Trooper or Crewman standing, holstered 1cm pistol, hands on hips
- in
body armour and commo helmet, faceshield OPEN.
HS-01B As HS-01A, but with helmet faceshield CLOSED.
HS-02A Trooper or Crewman standing, 1cm Powergun SMG at ready - in body
armour and commo helmet, faceshield OPEN.
HS-02B As HS-02A, but with helmet faceshield CLOSED.
HS-03A Trooper or Crewman kneeling, firing 1cm pistol - in body armour
and
commo helmet, faceshield OPEN.
HS-03B As HS-03A, but with helmet faceshield CLOSED.
HS-04A Trooper or Crewman standing, firing 2cm Powergun rifle - in body
armour and commo helmet, faceshield OPEN.
HS-04B As HS-04A, but with helmet faceshield CLOSED.

armour
and commo helmet, faceshield OPEN.

The NEXT batch of releases, due very soon, will include the Slammers
Infantry on their individual "skimmer" sleds, plus female troopers
(Hammer's Regiment is very much an equal-opportunities unit!) and
figures
with support weapons such as grenade launchers and the infamous
"buzzbomb"
anti-vehicle launcher.
Very special thanks to DAVID DRAKE for his permission, approval and
design
input, and also to JOHN TREADAWAY for his wonderful graphics work in
visualising David's concepts which enabled us to design the figures.

Slammers" project!
