Cool, thanks for the link. I liked the fact they did 'crashing' picks with the stands removed and just cotton wool supporting them...nice effect. And the space worm does look nice...

Dear 'Neffers,

There is a small gap of opportunity right now to order from brigade Miniatures.

They now remove the 17.5% VAT for non-Europeans (cool, I hate paying for roads and hospitals I dont use!) BUT in a few weeks all Nefs will go up 5% as part of a genral rise.

So in the self-delusional haze in whcih I live, that means I'm now onyl paying 2.5% for poastge all the way to Australia! That is a bargain!

So I um, made a smallish order. Actually it wasnt small. Not Primarchial, but decent enough.

V - I dont know if Malta counts as Europe for VAT? And he indicated to m I could pay by either Paypal or Visa so maybe there is hope there?

Cheers!
Tas
Capatian Nefarious! (Maybe that should be Captain Corruptor??)

)Malta is definitely 100% European... which means non-VAT exempt - howl!

I'll check with Brigade and see if the are inVISAble. (ouch - sorreee...

er - is the Wessex order stil on - I emailed Steve, but I can withdraw that - or add to it via Brigade!

You've still not seen the Wessex order Vanvlak? Hmmm. I did try and buy something off them at a convention recently, and the woman on the stand ignored me for 10 minutes :angry:

while she nattered at the other guy on the stall about a tv program about monkeys. I was stood there with a rulebook in one hand, and the ?5 note it cost in the other, and she just ignored me!

I wasnt terribly impressed. I had considered buying some of their modern American fighter planes for the rules I bought, but I went to another stall instead :cool:

Im very tempted to try and buy some figs before the price rise, but Im a little overextended at the mo' as it is

Good luck with the nef-load Tas! If you'll forgive my nosyness, which fleets you going for? One thing I will say Tas (as I work in exports), is be careful of import duty on the brigade order. As they arent paying VAT brigade will have to be more careful of their declarations of value, and anything over about ?20 can be taxed... Im possibly just being paranoid, but it has bitten me in the past (mainly from the States for some reason

Oh yes indeed Sir!
Because a) I wouldnt do that to you without letting you know first, and
b) I like those Nef minis and have factored them into my Fleet Plans, naturally!

Nosyness is a wargamer's natural virtue RB!

Actually, Im going a bit mroe left field than usual. I want to do a "Dash in the Pacific" type series of games between colonial powers, centered the regioj from around IndoChina to Australasia. Thus I have a strongish French Fleet centered around a Carrier Group and with some Battlecruisers, then have a Central Powers Fleets around some German Digs and Austro-Hungarian Torpedo Craft. I have drafted in a few ships from other powers simply because I like them, and they will be getting drafted into some local fleets.

Naturally, the Black Anarchists maintain a powerbase somewhere in the Pacific and will be present also.

Actually, the Nefload got culled somewhat in the end - Im trying to force myself to paint these first, before going the next step which will be the Royal Navy, the Russian Pacific Fleet and of course a Squadron or two from the Land of the Rising Sun!

After that I'll be ready for the long promised Martian Fleets and move my Operations to the Red Planet - ULLLLAAAA!

One thing I will say Tas (as I work in exports), is be careful of import duty on the brigade order.

Thanks for the heads-up. The reduction in the order should help... a little!

>Nosyness is a wargamer's natural virtue RB!

Sounds like some interesting fleets. Don't forget pictures when they are done :;):

Mixing in figures from different fleets is something that appeals. I have a friend at the moment who has written some background for his Full Thrust fleet, which basically makes them out as deserters from various navies who stick together for protection. What this means in list terms is they use ships from various different navies (Islamic, Anglian, and some other odd stuff). This has met with some slight opposition from one of regular opponents, who doesnt feel this is entirely balanced (which in some ways it isnt), but it is fun, it looks interesting, and it actually has background (something often a tad lacking in FT...). Its an interesting issue, but I guess it mainly comes down to friendly agreements.

Ive had a bit of trouble getting enthusiasm up around here for Aeronef, so its actually one type of figure I havent aquired too many of. What I may end up doing is genning 'nefs using Full Thrust and playing with those rules

I like the figures too much not to use the bleedin' things

>Thanks for the heads-up.

NP. As I said, its probably nothing, but Im good at paranoia

Why isnt it balanced? ?The Nef design rules are the same throughout so it doesnt really matter what their stats are- ?you pay for them...

What I may end up doing is genning 'nefs using Full Thrust and playing with those rules

Thats a great way to convert FT players over. ?
Will you call it Aero-Thrust or Full-'Nef ? ?
