I was looking at the 3mm crushers and thought that they make perfect 6mm scale ork dreadnoughts. I know you have the ironclads, but I use them more as the gobllin Killa Kanz, and the 6mm tramplers which are supposed to be the ork dreadnought proxies, look more like an ork version of the Greyknights dreadknight, or the sisters penitant engine as it has the ork riding in the harness in the front similar to the scene from aliens where Sigourney Weaver fights the Queen alien in the power loader.

The scale should be about right and be slightly larger than the Ironclads. Giving me 6mm Crusherrs for the Stompers, 3mm crushers for the dreadnoughts, and ironclads for the Killa Kanz. Now all we need are suitable proxies for the larger Eloi Mega Walkers and Psychic Mega Walker. I love how both ranges are expanding. Slowly building up the armies on my end.

I have done similar using the 3mm Novan Elite Gladiator Armentum models as 6mm Chaos Obliterators. They are of a similar size to to Tainted Elites in Heavy Armour (Chaos Terminators - these are absolutely superb models btw) & are bristling with different weapons & attachments fitting the Obliterator theme.

Interesting use for the 3mm gladiators.

It has been and still is my intention to do heavier ironclads, they have been on the to do list since before the light ironclads came out, so a long time. They keep getting pushed down the priority list.

The 3mm crushers are around 20mms tall and a lot bulkier than dreads so may be to big really, up to you of course.

I always have loads of new stuff under development for various factions as well as new factions, its only a matter of time before I get to larger walkers etc. If I had more designers to commission I could speed up releases and get more of those army list slots filled.

I have released 86 vanguard specific products this year, that's not a bad effort for such a small company. And I still have quite a few more releases lining up before the year ends.

Next up will be some printed scatter items from TMG and the new Eloi grav bikes from vanguard.

A GIFT CERTIFICATE option has been added to my site.

The purchaser can choose the amount for each certificate and will receive a coupon code redeemable against future orders.

Its not a physical certificate just a code to enter at checkout but its the best we can do at present.

Hi Deb, that's quite the list.

Note that early in the new year my new renegade regulars with gas hoods will be released, you may want to consider them for your cultists forces.

SEASONAL BREAK

Seasons greetings, its that time of year again and I thought I’d make a final brief news post for the year.

ORDERING DISABLED
First up please note that I have now disabled ordering on the site for the holiday break, this will free up time for me to prepare for the holiday as well as clear any backlog business wise. I will of course let you all know when you can order again.

NEWS
What can you expect to see coming early in the new year lets see, in 6mm we have more metal vehicles and new infantry sets for various factions at various stages of manufacture. Also for 6mm we will see more resin vehicles and aircraft with 3D printed models also seeing further expansion. From Troublemaker Games we will see the new plastic terrain sets from their last successful Kickstarter campaign arriving, and perhaps some expansion on their 15mm range at some point too.

3mm, there are more new sets coming for the 3mm range but nothing is imminent.

Battle Group Helios, the Helian Battleship, design work is complete and we will be releasing this long awaited ship in the new year in one form or another. Likewise the Zeus pattern grand cruiser and a few other capital class vessels will be ready to join your fleets as the year progresses. Plenty more ships to come next year.

I would be remis if I did not mention and thank my incredibly talented design team, all commissioned volunteers and mostly working in their own spare time to bring you the customer such wonderful miniatures. And not to forget of course the mould makers and casting services that manufacture the physical models, without these numerous people and companies operating in the background vanguard would not exist so please join me in raising a glass to them also.

All that remains for me to do is thank all my customers both old and new for making 2021 another very successful year for Vanguard Miniatures, your custom, support and enthusiasm is well received thank you.

Happy holidays everyone see you on the other side, regards John

I’ve noticed a number of classic pieces going out of stock or off the website - 6mm warstalkers for example, and the Churchill retro-style tanks. Are they being discontinued? I know they are probably not the big sellers that the newer Novan tanks are but I still love them and hope they don’t go away completely - maybe down the line you’d do custom runs?

The churchillians may well return as printed models, turn over for metal casts are not worth holding a stock for. Likewise the old cybershadow walkers will move over to printed items for the same reason.
