KickOff 4th CMBG todays WIP

The M113 apc!

Got to create the open hatches and touch up a few items like the grills etc....

The M150 TOW!


This will come with crewman firing the TO


These models are WIP and have some changes to make :) Mostly more detail!

The countdown is over........

ArmiesArmy KickOff is now officlly open!!!!

This is ArmiesAtmy first ever "KickOff" crowdfunded event. The goal of this is to raise enough funds to create a 4th Canadian Mechanised Brigade group in 15mm.

The forces will include Lynx apcs, Leo C1 MBT, M113 apcs, M150 TOW apcs and enough infantry types to represent an infanrty company.

The infantry will be armed with C1 SMG's C1A1 rifles, C2A1 LMG's, LAW 72, Carl Gustaf 84mm recoiless rifle, 60mm mortars, 50 cal HMG and will be wearing the M1 helmet. The figures will be depicted in cold weather gear (not artic!) like all my other ranges of cold war figures and ideal for Europe and Nato Northern Flank.

The MBT's will come with stowage for personalisation of their vehicles and tank crew. Infantry can also be personalised with additional LAW AT rockets and backpacks.

The infantry platoons will contain additional figures to represent the dismounted .50 cal teams and contain a variety of poses.

Kickoff has one huge additonal advantage in that it allows you to select multiple rewards, addons or even exsisting ranges! If it is available on my shop you can add it as part of your pledge!

For additional information please take a look at my webstore. Ill be posting regular updates with progression and WIP's.

90 % of all models are already completed and the infantry dollies finished. The kickoff will end 4 weeks from Sunday and I expect to get out all order within 6-12 weeks.

All items are between 10 to 15% off their retail price and will include extras such as stowage, laws and camo netting.

The kickoff event can be supported at my webstore www.armiesarmy.com

If you have any suggestions or ideas please do not heistate to contact.

thanks

ColdWar Kickstarter half way update

Hello from ArmiesArmy!

First up a huge thank you to all the people who have supported me so far, I am happy to say it’s been a huge success! As it is I reached my goal within 12 hours and have reached all my stretch goals and I am now nearly reaching the second set I have added! We are just a little off completing the Special Forces 4 man troops and Ferret armoured car!

What has surprised me more is the interest the Soviet VDV forces and so I've added up some additional stretch goals for more VDV options! These include variants for the BTR-D such as the BTR-D SPAAG and 2S9 Nona-S 120mm which many have asked for. I've also added the British Army Spartan as these have been the second largest requests I've had :)

A call to arms my cold war'ers..... (if thats a word)

Looking for help!

As I've advertised here myself and Ram Company Games are looking at creating some scenario packs amongst other things. Would any of you be interested in helping us out? :) We would like play testers to run through some scenarios with rules suggestions (you can use any of your favourite set), sanity check info and have input into future areas. A sort of military historical SME :)

We pay in PDF for all people involved! Ill also offer %off deals for any forces I create from them :)

Drop me a message for more details and interest :)

Cheers

ArmiesArmy....creating terrain!......surely not....muahahhahahha

Yes

I've been wanting to do something like this for years and then I met a really cool man whom had far more skill then me and got to the task of making some trenches and bunkers for my 15 men.

Here is what he has come up with (given my ramblings and dimensions).

If anyone wants them ill be offering

1x 8" trench section

1x 4" trench section

1x4" HMG /Gun trench section and roof

2x trench end sections

1x trench to bunker connector

1x trench to bunker door-way connector

1x 90degree trench section

plus a small and larger turret ,which fits my modular weapons slots rather well.......

Everything colonial world needs to keep the hordes out :)

VTOL Update

Another apology everyone....

I'm delayed slightly again ! The resin casts had a sticky feel to them and the caster was not happy.He ditched them and is working double shifts over the weekend to get them to me Monday/Tuesday. They will be packed and shipped soon as  they arrive.

Again apologies. Expect some figures in each pack as apologies! I hope that eases the pain:)  The resin caster is a top guy and every know and again a bad batch throws his schedule!

ArmiesArmy 15mm Tank/APC riders are available at the shop :)

Vehicle riders

One thing that I always think when I am looking  at photos of Russian BTR’s, BMP’s and BMD’s with troops sat on the outside of them( in particular insurgent/militia types) …is ‘wow that’s cool’ and I then think how nice that will look on the varying vehicles of my sci fi range. So…that’s exactly what I did.

This figure pack contains 6 figures and three different poses. They are ideal for insurgents/militia. They are all in the seated position and are available at £3.00 for the 6 figures at www.armiesarmy.com

The Tank crew riders will be available in the near future.

ArmiesArmy 15mm BTR 260 is ready for order!

The BTR-260 is a six wheeled, lightly armoured vehicle, currently under trials by the Russian Federation’s Army, Marine Forces, and VDV (both conventional and orbital drop). Built specifically for quick response vehicle or reconnaissance the vehicle is a shorter wheel based version of the BTR 290.

The BTR-260 has six wheels, and is propelled by third generation hydrogen fuel cells.  The passenger compartment is located to the rear, with seating available around the base of the turret.  Forward of the turret is the crew compartment, main drive system, and communications systems.  Passenger capacity is 4 in the troop bay accessed through large aft door.  Crew is three, driver, gunner, and a commander who also leads the infantry section carried in the IFV model BTR-260. The gunner controls the vehicle as the commander supports the troop section.  The initial variant of the BTR 260 mounts a turret equipped with 27MM autocannon and “Punisher” 10 MM Gatling weapon.  Carries 350 rounds of 27MM, and 12,000 10 MM rounds.  Conceptually the 27MM is loaded with armor piercing rounds, while the 10 MM is reserved for anti-infantry use.  Lacks dedicated anti-tank system, however 27 MM is significant threat to most light armoured vehicles.  10 MM is capable of very high RPM and well regarded as reliable and accurate.  Turret also mounts active countermeasures system, capable of firing smoke, or “Hornet” anti-missile munitions.


The BTR 260 A is now on sale at www.ArmiesArmy.com
The resin and metal vehicle will be £6.50 with a limited time offer of £6.00 for the first few weeks.

Thanks to  Paul​ for providing some of this excellent background. This will be available in the near future in full for several of my vehicles :) This will include some force OOB's for generic rules

New releases Wednesday......... (this will change depending on the day:)

After the 'great purge' the PLA was all but destroyed and what was left splintered into warlords and families. One family however discovered an underground facility spared from the purge which was rich in technology. The Han family being limited in man power looked at The next best thing....robotics
Supplementing their forces with robots the Han Dynasty began......

First up is the WZ993 'XiangYu' APC series. This series includes both an automated Gun turret, manned gun turret and a Anti Tank Mobile Gun Platform.   Each APC has a resin hull, 8 metal wheels and separate hatches.  The manned APC will come with a variety of crew figures, which can be cut to fit.

They are available now from www.armiesarmy.com

Available at £7.00 rather then £7.50 for a limited time

thanks

Pegasus VTOL Pre order Update

Hello from armiesarmy HQ!

Just a quick update on the orders. Sadly it looks like the orders will have a slight delay. Rather then shipping out this week, its likely to be a few days later and into next week. The resin mould was just not quite right and the mould maker was not 100% happy with it. The fuselage had some slight bubbles in it an him and me were not happy with it. The good news is that a new one was finished yesterday and production can start again.

I will keep you all updated this week

regards

Keith
