Hi Folks,

After many months in the making we're excited to announce that Battlegroup Helios is now live. Battlegroup Helios is our new range of fine scale, highly detailed, boutique quality models for use in starship-level space combat wargames. Our first cruiser sized models, the Dreadnought and Firedrake are now available for purchase and we're working hard on expanding the range shortly with both smaller and larger ship designs (in addition to new fleet styles in the future). We're only a small operation so initial stocks will be limited, but we are doing our best to produce more models for you guys.

Check out the site at http://www.battlegrouphelios.com

Looks awesome! Glad to see it up and running. Do they come with a spure of side weapon options like BFG did or...?

Again Great Work!

Thanks! Its been a long time coming :). The ships come with two each of the three weapons types and enough turrets for both modules and hull mounting points. So six weapons, 8 turrets, a single piece hull and separate prow.

Thanks guys! it's been a collaborative effort so I can't take all the credit. Still a ways to go as I've got a list of site upgrades and fixes to implement. :)

@Nitpick: We'll be working on a frigate sized model next and them moving to a second race.

I might be slightly blind and have missed this, but if I haven't, I'd suggest adding dimensions into the description. Even if it's only length, I feel that would be useful.

@Rastamann: We will eventually. Have to have them like they are now to make the site work, but I'm working on getting the models painted up and we'll be adding additional images to the product pages too.

@Doomkitten: Here's the dimensions:
Assembled dimensions: 110mm long x 40mm wide x 35mm tall
Weapons module dimensions: 18mm wide x 9mm tall
The dimensions are listed on the product detail view if you need to find them again.
