UPDATE - SATURDAY 21st April 2018:

ONE WEEK to HAMMERHEAD.....

A week since SALUTE, and I've spent most of the last few days catching up with the mail-orders that had been delayed due to the pre-show preparations - pretty much all of those which had been significantly delayed have now been mailed out, with a few still to be done over this weekend for mailing on Monday.

So, then I need to spend all the coming week on topping-up stock levels which have been depleted by SALUTE sales and the mail orders, so that I'm as well stocked as possible for Hammerhead on Saturday; as a result, any mail orders placed during this week MAY not ship out until after next weekend - if they are small and simple ones I will try to get them done to reduce the size of the pile, but anything more complicated (or requiring casting of non-stocked items) will have to wait a few days. The good news is that once I'm back from Newark, my next show isn't until September - so I hope to be able to keep things up to date over the summer!

Because I've been busy with orders and stock, I have NOT yet uploaded the new items that were released at SALUTE - these will get done as soon as I can after Hammerhead, so you can expect to see them up on the store in the first week of May; I also have a whole bunch of other new stuff which I didn't manage to get ready in time for the shows, which will form the bulk of the next couple of batches of new items to be released over May-June, so there will still be plenty more to look forward to.....

More soon - and hoping to see a lot of familiar faces up at HAMMERHEAD, people we've missed since the demise of the Sheffield show!

Thanks for reading,
Jon (GZG), April 21st 2018.

UPDATE - MONDAY 16th April 2018:

SALUTE is over, now getting ready for HAMMERHEAD.....

Well, SALUTE is over for another year! It was a really good show, one of the best for many years as far as we were concerned - I hope that all those of you who could make it had a great day too. Thanks to all the Warlords members who helped run the show and made everything go really smoothly.

It was really nice to see so many customers old and new, and put faces to so many names familiar from mail-orders.

So, now we're starting to gear up for the rescheduled HAMMERHEAD in less than two weeks' time - Saturday 28th April, at the Newark Showground - this will be our first (and only) show north of London since the demise of Sheffield Triples, and I really hope that we will get to see a lot of customers from the Midlands and North who don't make it down to the other shows we attend.

Right now I'm making a start on catching up with the outstanding mail-orders, hopefully I will have most of the ones placed pre-Salute cleared by the end of this week - then I will have to start replenishing stock levels depleted by Salute, ready for Hammerhead....

All the comments below (in the pre-SALUTE news posts) about what we can and can't bring to the shows apply to Hammerhead, of course, so please remember that if you want anything at all from our 25mm, 6mm or 2mm lines, or from the "minor" FT fleets, then you MUST pre-order them so that I can bring them along for you; the final cut-off date for Hammerhead pre-orders will be this coming Saturday, the 21st, so please let me know before then!

Thanks for reading,
Jon (GZG), April 16th 2018.

UPDATE - FRIDAY 13th April 2018:

OFF TO "SALUTE".....!

This morning I'm loading up the van ready to head off to ExCel for SALUTE, we'll be setting up this afternoon ready for the show tomorrow - hope to see lots of regular and new faces there!

I've been promising a hint of the new items to be released, sorry I didn't post them earlier but right up until last night I wasn't sure which items I'd actually get finished! As things stand, there will be almost THIRTY new codes of 15mm, including new releases for the OutRim Coalition, NSL Panzergrenadiers, NSL Jaegers, Kra'Vak and a big all-new range of various 15mm "unseful bits" - cargo pods and modules, stowage cases and drums, fuel cans, equipment boxes and loads more, some of which will actually be useful for other scales as well as the intended 15mm.... not the most exciting of items, perhaps, BUT something that almost everyone can make good use of as scenic elements, battlefield "cover", vehicle stowage, truck loads and a hundred more uses.

If you're lucky enough to be coming to the show tomorrow, see you there - and for all mail-order customers, I will have the new stuff up on the store as soon as possible after I've caught up with things post-SALUTE!

Thanks for reading,
Jon (GZG), April 13th 2018.

A QUICK NOTE ON THE MAIL-ORDER SITUATION.....

SALUTE 2018 is now only three days away, and I'm working frantically to complete stock, new releases, new and rebuilt displays and much more besides..... I'm afraid that mail order dispatches have now slipped a bit, as always happens before a major show. While quite a few of the ones that were quick and simple to do have gone out in the last couple of weeks, if you've placed a mail order recently and have NOT yet had a confirmation that it has been completed and mailed, then I'm afraid it will be in the big pile that I have to catch up with after this weekend.....

I will be getting back up to date as fast as I possibly can, but in the meantime thanks for your patience - I will be including a little something extra with the delayed orders as a small token of compensation for the wait.

More soon!

Jon (GZG), April 10th 2018.

............................................................................................................................

"SALUTE" IS COMING UP VERY SOON!

SALUTE 2018 is in just over 3 weeks time, on SATURDAY 14th APRIL, at the usual venue - the ExCel exhibition centre in London Docklands. We will be there as always, with as much stuff as we can possibly pack into the van!
This year we will be on a similar "island end" stand to recent years, although this time we are towards the BACK of the hall rather than the front - we will be on Stand No.TD25, as you come in from the "queuing hall" at the side you need to turn immediate RIGHT and then left at the back of the hall, and you will see us at the end of the second block of stands.

There will be a LOT of new releases for this year's show - I had a batch of them ready to launch at Hammerhead at the beginning of March, but when that got postponed due to the weather I made the decision to hold those new items back and roll them into the SALUTE launch, so there will be a double helping of new stuff released this time! A little nearer the event I will be posting some news of what will be available, so please check back here soon for more info…..

As always, we welcome PRE-ORDERS for SALUTE (or any other shows we are attending) - we can't bring everything we make with us, so if you want anything from a range that we don't normally bring to the shows, or you want a particularly large number of a specific code - or of course if you just want the convenience of having your show purchase all neatly packed up ready for you to collect - then drop me (Jon) an email with a list of what you want. In order for me to be able to get your order processed and ready, especially if it contains items I don't normally hold as ready stock, I would ask you to PLEASE get any Salute pre-orders in to me NO LATER THAN MONDAY 2nd APRIL.
You can either pay for your order in advance, or on the day when you collect it - your choice. As a little sweetener, anyone who places a pre-order for SALUTE by the 2nd April will get a FREE EXTRA included - some useful samples of some of the new items we are launching at the show!

As our regulars will know, our 15mm and FT ranges are the mainstays of our show sales, and as such we bring along more of those than anything; time and circumstances permitting, we will have good stocks of all the 15mm items (figures, vehicles, buildings and accessories) plus the "major" fleets of FT Starships. Things we DON'T bring to the shows are the 25mm, 6mm and most of the 2mm lines, plus some of the "minor" fleets of FT ships (and those older fleets that are awaiting redesigns) - the OUDF, the Ravagers, the Islamic Fed, the New Israelis and the Kra'Vak. If you want anything from any of those ranges, you MUST pre-order them so that I can get them cast and ready for you, we won't be bringing any stocks for sale on the day.

While all the preparations for SALUTE are going on, I am still trying to keep up with regular mail-order dispatches as much as possible - at the moment most orders are going out with the usual quick turnaround, but as the show date gets closer this may slow a bit - if you order anything in the first couple of weeks of April I will still do my best to dispatch it with the usual speed, but with some orders this may not be possible so please be prepared for this.

Well, that's about it for this update, there will be more news before the show date so please check back here - and please get those pre-orders to me as soon as possible!

Thanks for reading,
Jon (GZG), March 21st 2018.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT UPDATE - THURSDAY 1st March 2018:

HAMMERHEAD is now POSTPONED...

Literally just a few minutes after I'd posted the update below, we have been told that Saturday's show has been POSTPONED due to the weather conditions, and RE-SCHEDULED for APRIL 28th.

More news later, but if you were planning on braving the weather to go on Saturday, DON'T!

Jon (GZG), Thursday March 1st 2018.

.................................................................................................................................

IMPORTANT UPDATE - THURSDAY 1st March 2018:

BAD WEATHER and attending HAMMERHEAD...

Our situation re HAMMERHEAD this weekend is uncertain right now - snow here in North Essex is still very bad, and although it is supposed to be OK up in Newark where the event is, right now it would be impossible for us to even get out of our village with the fully-laden van....

I will make a decision about our attendance either late tonight or early on Friday 2nd, so please check back here tomorrow for a further update.

Jon (GZG), Thursday March 1st 2018.

.................................................................................................................................

UPDATE - SUNDAY 11th February 2018:

We will be at HAMMERHEAD on the 3rd March!

For the first time, we will be attending the HAMMERHEAD show at Newark Showground on Saturday March 3rd; we will be in the main building (the George Stephenson Hall).

Since the demise of Sheffield Triples, I have been very conscious of the fact that we haven't been doing any shows north of London, and this means we have missed out on seeing a whole lot of regular and new customers - so, this year we are venturing North of Watford Gap as far as Newark - and we really hope that we will see many of the old faces that we used to meet at Triples, plus hopefully a lot of new people who may not have had the chance to attend a show where we are trading. All reports say that HAMMERHEAD is a very good show, and well worth getting along to - the only reason we haven't been along before has been clashes with other (non-GZG-related) things - so we really hope to see lots of you there!

As usual, we will be bringing as much stock as possible of our best sellers, the 15mm ranges (V15, SG15, Moongrunt etc) and the "major" Full Thrust fleets (NAC, NSL, FSE, ESU, Crusties, Merchants, UNSC, Japanese, ScanFed, Phalon and Sa'Vasku) - lack of space both in the van and on the tradestand means that I CANNOT bring stocks of the 25mm ranges, the 6mm, or the other smaller FT fleets.
Should you wish us to bring along a pre-order for you of any of those ranges, that can be arranged, but PLEASE email me (Jon) with as much notice as possible before the date of the show - to leave me enough time to cast them up, any pre-orders should be with me by Sunday 18th Feb at the latest please.

With the show only three weeks away, I am having to spend a lot of time getting stock levels back up after the Christmas and New Year orders rush - so while I shall still be trying to keep mailorders as up to date as possible, please understand that there may be some minor delays - especially on orders for ranges that I'm not casting up for show stock.

I hope to have a batch of NEW RELEASES to launch at HAMMERHEAD, which will then be available for mailorder as soon as possible after the show - then just a month later it will be time for SALUTE, more details about that later! There will be more info on the Hammerhead releases very shortly….

Thanks for reading,

Jon (GZG), Sunday 11th Feb 2018.

UPDATE - WEDNESDAY 17th JANUARY 2018:

NEW RELEASES NOW READY!

I hope that 2018 is treating you all well so far, and that those of you who have gone down with various seasonal coughs and colds are now recovering..... well, to cheer things up in the bleak middle of January, the promised NEW RELEASES are now ready for sale - with a couple of weeks left before the January Discount Vouchers expire - so if you've been waiting for these before placing your order, here they are!

A FULL RANGE of all the essential packs for the new ESU REGULAR ARMY, as previewed late last year with the introductory SG15-E41 pack (now relisted as a standard 8-figure pack); now with NINE packs, including Command and the various Heavy Weapons teams, PLUS a very useful little 6-wheeled "mule" as a light transport/towing vehicle.

As explained when the E41 pack was launched, these figures are variants of the ESU Naval Infantry range, with new helmets and additional kit giving them a very different look - while the Naval Infantry are the "Marines" of the ESU Space Naval forces, the Regular Army are the grunts who make up the majority of the Eurasian Solar Union ground troops.

SG15-E41       ESU Regular Army Rifle Troops A - 8 figs, 2 each of 4 poses.
SG15-E42       ESU Regular Army Rifle Troops B - 8 figs, 2 each of 4 poses.
SG15-E43       ESU Regular Army SAW Gunners - 8 figs, 2 each of 4 poses.
SG15-E44       ESU Regular Army Special Weapons (Snipers and Portable Missile Launchers) troops - 8 figs, 2 each of 4 poses
SG15-E45       ESU Regular Army Command and Comms pack - 8 figs, 2 each of 4 poses.
SG15-E46       ESU Regular Army Tribarrel Autocannon teams - 2 guns with light wheeled carriages, 4 crew figures (2 per gun), plus bonus sprues of spare ammo cans
SG15-E47       ESU Regular Army Medium Mortar teams - 2 drum-fed mortar tubes with light wheeled carriages, 4 crew figures (2 per mortar), plus bonus sprues of spare ammo cans
SG15-E48       ESU Regular Army Anti-Vehicle Missile System (AVMS) teams - two complete weapon teams, each consisting of launcher (with optional parts to assemble as 2-round or 4-round system) on light wheeled carriage, 2 crew figures and packs of reload missiles
SG15-E51       ESU Electric Mule (6-wheel light vehicle) with Regular Army driver - light transport load carrier used as towing vehicle for Mortar, AVMS and Tribarrel teams (multi-part kit of one vehicle with driver)

To see (and purchase!) all these new codes, scroll down to the foot of this page and click on the relevant featured items, or simply go to the ESU page of the 15mm Infantry listings.

UPDATE - SUNDAY 31st DECEMBER 2017:

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all, and the NEW YEAR DISCOUNT VOUCHERS are NOW LIVE!

The 2018 NEW YEAR VOUCHERS are now all LIVE, please read the notes below on how to redeem them. Please don't forget this this time they are valid for JANUARY ONLY - normally they are valid for Jan and Feb, but I've had to reduce that this time because of several commitments in early March for which I will need time to prepare.

HOW TO REDEEM YOUR VOUCHER CODE:

If you have been sent a New Year voucher in your pre-Christmas order, it will have a unique handwritten code on it in the form of TWO UPPERCASE LETTERS followed by a FOUR DIGIT NUMBER; you need to enter the code in exactly that format, with NO spaces - please be careful to distinguise between the letter "O" and a zero "0", and likewise between an uppercase "I" and the digit "1". When you have put all the items you want to order into your basket, go to the "View Basket" step; here you will see a box marked "PROMOTIONAL CODE OR GIFT CARD" - you need to enter your voucher code in that box, and then click the purple button marked "UPDATE BASKET".

If you have done this correctly, you should then see the relevant % discount (10% or 20% depending on your voucher value) shown in RED and deducted from the order subtotal. IF THIS DOES NOT APPEAR, PLEASE DO NOT COMPLETE OR PAY FOR THE ORDER, but email me (jon@gzg.com) and I should be able to sort out the problem for you.

If the discount % shows correctly, then simply proceed to complete and pay for the order as normal. Please note that the % discount does NOT apply to the shipping costs (sadly, the products don't get lighter to post when they are discounted!), but it does of course reduce the VAT amount (where applicable) by the relevant %.

Please note that your voucher code may only be used ONCE - and the store will consider it "used" as soon as you proceed to the checkout stage, even if you then leave it as a pending order. Should you encounter any problems during the payment stage, or realise that you've made an error with your order and need to try again, then please email me immediately and I will be able to re-set your code so that you can have another go!

If anyone has not yet received their pre-Christmas order with the voucher enclosed (some didn't ship out till the week just gone, and others may be taking a while to get through overseas postal systems), but wants to place their new order immediately, then I will be able to give you your voucher code via email on request. The same applies if you've received but mislaid your voucher, so don't panic!

For those of you waiting to see some more NEW RELEASES before using your voucher, please give me a few more days to get the latest batch into production - I will be launching a big expansion of the ESU REGULAR ARMY figures that I previewed with pack SG15-E41 just before Christmas, and you will shortly be able to order the full range of these figures including support weapons, Command and all the Heavy Weapons packs! I hope to have these all ready very soon, certainly in plenty of time for you to order them well before the end of January.

Please check back here for some further NEW RELEASE information in a few days, and in the meantime I hope you all have a great New Year Celebration with friends and family.

Thank you for all your support during the year, and wishing everyone a safe, happy and prosperous 2018!

Jon (GZG), Sunday 31st December 2017.

UPDATE - TUESDAY 26th DECEMBER 2017:

HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS*!

* Or, of course, whatever Seasonal Festivities you choose to celebrate around this time of year!

So, 2017 is almost over and the New Year is rapidly approaching. I'm SUPPOSED to be taking a few days off from GZG-related stuff (and I am, except for posting this update!) and things will re-open properly after the coming New Year weekend.

The pre-Christmas orders all went pretty well, and virtually everything placed before the 20th got shipped out before I closed down - the remaining orders placed up to the end of the offers at Midnight on the 22nd will be dealt with ASAP - some might even go out this week if I get bored with eating, sleeping and TV - and then any remaining ones will be dealt with after Jan 2nd. The NEW YEAR VOUCHERS will all become LIVE at the start of January (please check back here for details on how to redeem them), but please don't forget this this time they are valid for JANUARY ONLY - this is because I'm going to have a much busier February than usual, as I'm attending the HAMMERHEAD show at Newark for the first time at the very beginning of March; more details on that later!

Please check back here for more information in a few days, and I hope you all have a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Jon (GZG), Tuesday 26th December 2017.

.................................................................................................................................

Please note that the Christmas Offers are now CLOSED (as of Midnight on Friday 22nd)....

...................................................

UPDATE - WEDNESDAY 6th DECEMBER 2017:

Progress report on Christmas orders....

So far I'm pretty much keeping up with the orders that are coming in thick and fast, those that I can fill immediately from ready stock are going back out very quickly, others may be taking a few extra days where I have to stop and cast some stuff for them - but in general it's going pretty well!

For those who have asked, there will be NO further new releases THIS side of Christmas, but I hope to be able to have a few new items ready for release in early January so that you can spend your New Year discount vouchers on them.

Hope the Seasonal Festiveness has begun to fester in you all, and that you're thoroughly sick of Christmas music already....

Not that long to go now, I'll do my best to keep on top of things but please don't leave your orders till the very last minute!

Thanks for reading,

Jon (GZG), Weds 6th Dec 2017.

.................................................................................................................................

ADDITIONAL UPDATE - TUESDAY 28th NOVEMBER 2017:

All the new WARFARE releases are NOW ON THE STORE! Scroll to the bottom of this page and click on the items to see them!

All the figure packs listed in the WARFARE news update below are now listed and available for mail order, PLUS the three all-new small jeeps that were a last-minute release at the show:

THREE new light vehicles - a basic 4-wheel jeep, an extended-body jeep and a weapons carrier jeep/light truck with gun mount - excellent as some light support and transport for Mercenary or Colonial Defence forces!
Vehicles are 3D designs from MMG, drivers and gunners are traditional sculpts.

V15-120G       Light airportable jeep with Generic crew (multipart metal kit, includes 2 optional drivers, one in cap and one in generic crew helmet)       £3.60 inc VAT (£3.00 ex VAT)
V15-121G       Extended airportable jeep with Generic crew (multipart metal kit, includes 2 optional drivers, one in cap and one in generic crew helmet)       £4.50 inc VAT (£3.75 ex VAT)
V15-122G       Airportable weapons carrier jeep with twin autocannon mount, with Generic drivers and gunners (multipart metal kit, includes 2 optional drivers and 2 optional gunner figures)           £6.00 inc VAT (£5.00 ex VAT)

……………………

UPDATE - TUESDAY 28th NOVEMBER 2017:

2017 CHRISTMAS SPECIALS ARE NOW ON!

Our 2017 Christmas Specials are NOW ON as of 12:00 NOON today, TUESDAY 28th NOVEMBER, and they will run until MIDNIGHT (2400 Hours) UK time on FRIDAY 22nd December. Our Christmas offers have been extremely popular over many years now, so this year I'm keeping it pretty much the same again - including the simplified qualifying criteria for the offers that worked very well the last couple of years, just using the GRAND TOTAL VALUE of your order - the actual amount you pay - rather than getting all complicated about sub-total values, VAT-exclusive prices and stuff….. so once again, ALL ORDERS WITH A GRAND TOTAL VALUE (INCLUDING SHIPPING AND VAT WHERE APPLICABLE) of 30 GBP or more will qualify for both parts of the special deal:

1) All qualifying orders will get a FREE CHRISTMAS GOODIE BAG of extra minis and stuff - how much free stuff you get depends on the size of your order, and I'll tailor most of the contents to fit the kind of items you are ordering (plus maybe the occasional sample that might tempt you into other ranges and scales...). What goes in the bag is OUR choice, so no being cheeky and asking for specific things please - but those of you who have had our previous Xmas freebies over the years will know that you get a very generous selection of items that you can actually use for your armies/fleets - and usually much more stuff than you'd get from a simple discount offer!
Sometimes I may put in the odd special or unreleased item too, so you never know what you might get… that's part of the fun of a gift!

2) In addition to the Free Stuff with your order, all qualifying customers will also get a VOUCHER that you can use to get a generous DISCOUNT off a further order placed after Christmas - so you can get all your pre-Xmas stuff AND free goodies now, and then use the voucher up when you have some gift money from all those relatives who have absolutely NO idea what to buy for you!

This year, the vouchers will be valid for the whole of JANUARY 2018 - so the voucher codes will become "live" on the store on Monday the 1st of January 2018, and any un-used ones will expire at Midnight (UK time) on Wednesday the 31st January 2018. Please note that this is a change from previous years - normally the vouchers are valid for January AND February, but this time I will be having a much busier March than usual (more news about that later) and I know that I won't be able to cope with the usual deluge of last-minute orders at the end of February - so this time I'm shifting the voucher expiry forward by a month so that I have time in Feb to deal with all the orders that will come in right at the end of January! Please don't forget this change, it should still give you plenty of time to spend your Christmas present money…..

The value of the voucher you will receive varies according to the size of your pre-Xmas order - if your total order value is from 30 GBP to 100 GBP then you'll get a voucher for 10% discount; any orders with a total value of OVER 100 GBP will get a whopping 20% discount voucher!

Each voucher carries a unique code number that allows you to use it for online orders, of course - as usual, I will post the full instructions for redeeming the vouchers on the store before they become live at the start of January.

...............

Christmas dispatch times and ordering dates, and Christmas/New Year break:

Throughout the pre- and post-Christmas period, I will be trying to keep as much up to date with order dispatches as possible - but please understand that things can get VERY busy and some orders may well take a few days longer than normal to be shipped out. If there are any serious delays then I will try to let you know where possible.
Obviously we are all at the mercy of the postal services as to delivery times - but we would strongly recommend that international orders (especially for Australia, NZ etc) are placed no later than the first week of December if you want any real hope of them arriving before Christmas. With some larger orders it is possible to ship them via parcel courier (UPS etc) rather than by airmail, the couriers are faster and with much better online tracking - if you want me to do this, or just want more details on this shipping option, please ask when you place the order.

I will continue to dispatch orders up to Friday 22nd of December - after that date we will be CLOSED for the Christmas/New Year break, re-opening on Tuesday 2nd January 2018. The online webstore will remain "open" throughout the Christmas period so you can still place orders, but no orders will be processed and dispatched until after the 2nd of January.

Thanks to you all for your support and valued custom through 2017 - it's been a much better year all round than 2016 was, and I hope we can tempt you with even more new and exciting things in 2018!
Wishing you all a great Christmas (or whatever other seasonal festival you choose to celebrate around this time of year) and a safe, happy and gaming-filled New Year!

All the best,

Jon (GZG), 28th Nov 2017.

UPDATE - WEDNESDAY 15th NOVEMBER 2017:

More News for WARFARE.....

Just a couple of days to go now before we load up the van and head off down to READING for WARFARE at the Rivermead Leisure Centre this coming weekend (18th/19th).... stocks are coming along nicely, we should have all the usual things there PLUS of course some NEW RELEASES for the show: the following codes are all done and ready to go.... there MIGHT also be a couple of other surprise new items IF I get the time to complete them before leaving, so if you're coming along then please look out for all the new stuff on the displays!

COMMAND PACKS for the ISLAMIC FED in SHEMAGH, and ESU in CAMO CAPES:

SG15-IF24 Islamic Federation Command and Comms pack - in Shemagh (8 figures) £3.00 per pack inc VAT (£2.50 ex-VAT)

SG15-E22 ESU Naval Infantry Command and Comms pack in CAMO CAPES (8 figures) £3.00 per pack inc VAT (£2.50 ex-VAT)

The long-awaited COMMAND PACK for the OUTRIM COALITION, PLUS some all-new POWER ARMOUR for them too:

SG15-RC08 OutRim Coalition Command and Comms pack - in hardsuits (8 figures) £3.00 per pack inc VAT (£2.50 ex-VAT)

SG15-RC21 OutRim Coalition Power Armour troops - 6 figures with separate backpacks and arms/weapons; pack contains sufficient parts to make all six figures with standard backpacks and antipersonnel hand weapons, plus extra backpacks (2) with over-shoulder missile racks and extra arms with Plasma SAW (2) and HIMP Railgun (2) £4.50 per pack inc VAT (£3.75 ex-VAT)

Two new variant packs for the KRA'VAK:

SG15-K25 Kra'Vak GRAV BIKES - two bikes with riders (in HELMETS) and "flight" bases £6.00 per pack inc VAT (£5.00 ex-VAT)

SG15-K20 Kra'Vak Command and Comms pack - 8 figures (in HELMETS), 2 each of 4 poses £3.00 per pack inc VAT (£2.50 ex-VAT)

PLUS the first sample pack of ESU Regular Army - 8 with rifles plus 2 SAW gunners FREE (10 fig pack as an intro offer) - same weapons and uniforms as the Marines of the Naval Infantry, but with a different helmet (which gives them a completely different look) and loaded down with big rucksacks and loads of carried equipment:

SG15-E41 ESU Regular Army Rifles pack A - intro offer with TWO FREE SAW GUNNERS (8 figures + 2 FREE) £3.00 per pack inc VAT (£2.50 ex-VAT)

And finally for this batch, the first new addition for some while to our ever-popular NAC range:

SG15-A24 NAC "Cataphract" Heavy Power Armour: 6 figures with separate backpacks and arms/weapons; pack contains sufficient parts to make all six figures with standard backpacks and antipersonnel hand weapons, plus extra backpacks (2) with over-shoulder salvo missile racks and extra arms with Rotary Autocannon (2).
Designed to be a much heavier alternative to the A21-A23 packs of "standard" NAC Power Armour, the Cataphract heavy suits have inbuilt forearm-mount weapons on both arms in addition to their hand-carried weapons, and two extra right arms are included which do not have a hand-carried gun so that it is possible to assemble up to two suits in the pack with only their integral forearm weapons.
£4.50 per pack inc VAT (£3.75 ex-VAT)

Once I'm back from the show I will catch up as quickly as possible on the mailorders, then it will be almost time for Christmas.... so watch for more news in a week or so!

Hope to see lots of familiar faces at the show, and maybe some new ones too.....

Thanks for reading,

Jon (GZG), Wednesday 15th Nov 2017.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON MAIL-ORDER, ADDED THURSDAY 9th NOVEMBER 2017:

While I'm making stock and preparing new items ready for WARFARE (see below), the turnround times for some mailorders will inevitably slip a bit..... I always try to keep on top of them as much as possible, and some small and quick-to-fill orders may well go out pretty much as normal - but anything large or complex, especially if requiring any non-stock items to be cast up, will most likely NOT be dispatched until after I'm back from the show (ie: after the 20th). Thanks in advance for your understanding!

UPDATE - TUESDAY 7th NOVEMBER 2017:

News for WARFARE.....

Hope you all had a good (and safe) Halloween and Bonfire Night! I can't believe it's really November already, and WARFARE (Rivermead Leisure Centre, Reading) is less than two weeks away....

The show is a two-day event, the 18th and 19th November, and those who have been before will know that it is a really good show to come to - lots of traders and very well attended, but as it's an all-weekend one there is still usually a bit of time for me to actually chat to customers, which is always nice.

It is also our LAST show of the year, so your last chance to see and buy items from us in person until SALUTE next year!

As usual, please remember that due to tradestand space and payload capacity in the van, we ONLY bring the 15mm ranges and the most popular fleets of FT Starships to the show - we simply don't have room for anything else - so if you want any items from our other ranges (25mm, 6mm, 2mm and the other FT Fleets), then you need to PRE-ORDER them so that I can have them cast and ready for you; PLEASE get any pre-order lists to me by this coming Sunday (12th) at the latest, anything arriving after that date cannot be guaranteed to be ready for the show.

Please check back here again over the next few days, as I will be posting more info on the show and (hopefully) details of the NEW RELEASES that will be launched there.

Thanks for reading,

Jon (GZG), Tuesday 7th Nov 2017.

UPDATE - THURSDAY 19th OCTOBER 2017:

SELWG new releases!

SELWG (South East London Wargames Group) show is now only a few days away, so here's a quick preview of the NEW packs that will be released at the show!

Our SG15-X05 and X08 "Alien Mercenaries" packs have always been very popular since they were released quite a few years back, but until now I have never got round to expanding the range of these ugly, hairless, pointy-eared little guys - well, now I can finally announce the first HEAVY WEAPONS pack for them - in this new pack you get THREE complete weapon teams of a groundmount drum-fed Heavy Machine Gun with seated gunner, a gun commander standing with binoculars, and a heavily-laden ammo porter festooned with extra drums for the gun:

SG15-X20 Alien Mercs Heavy Machine Gun Teams - THREE teams each consisting of weapon and mount, sitting gunner, gun commander with binoculars and ammo porter with reload drums. £6.00 per pack inc VAT (£5.00 ex-VAT)

Staying on the alien theme, there are TWO new packs for the ever-popular KRA'VAK - they get some fast recon and support in the form of a pair of GRAV BIKES, plus something very different - a pack of HUNTING BEASTS - fast, vicious dog/lizard beasties with spiky tails and savage mandibles/jaws that echo the K'V figures themselves. The pack contains NINE of the Beasts (three each of three variant sculpts) plus two (different) Kra'Vak "handlers" armed with long pointy weapons to drive their charges in the right direction…..

SG15-K24 Kra'Vak GRAV BIKES - two bikes with riders (bareheaded) and "flight" bases £6.00 per pack inc VAT (£5.00 ex-VAT)
SG15-K26 Kra'Vak Hunting Beasts - NINE beasts (3 each of 3 poses) plus two "handlers" £4.50 per pack inc VAT (£3.75 ex-VAT)

Some much-requested COMMAND AND COMMS figures for two existing ranges, the ESU Naval Infantry and the Islamic Federation troops:

SG15-E21 ESU Naval Infantry Command and Comms pack (8 figures) £3.00 per pack inc VAT (£2.50 ex-VAT)

SG15-IF23 Islamic Federation Command and Comms pack - in helmets (8 figures) £3.00 per pack inc VAT (£2.50 ex-VAT)

Finally, something a little different again: a set of Civilian Power Suits, personal exoskeleton rigs of a similar size to our military Power Armours but designed for heavy industrial work, cargo loading and similar duties - each pack has SIX suit bodies (3 each of 2 variant poses) plus NINE sets of arms, to give you plenty of variety in how you choose to assemble them; you get three sets each of standard manipulator arms, cargo-handling grabs, and work arms with plasma cutter in right hand and a portable power unit in the left. The suits have full enclosed helmets, and could also be used for EVA repair duties or as robotic work units.

SG15-V20 Civilian/Industrial Powered Work Suits - 6 bodies (3 each of 2 poses) plus 9 sets of arms - three standard manipulator sets, three cargo handling grab sets, three sets with plasma cutter and power unit £4.50 per pack inc VAT (£3.75 ex-VAT)

All of these NEW codes will be available at SELWG this coming Sunday (though please note that some will be in very limited quantities, so please get there early if you want them!), and very shortly after I'm back they will be added to the store for mailorder.

Thanks for reading, hope to see all our regulars at the show!

UPDATE - THURSDAY 12th OCTOBER 2017:

SELWG show news....

The SELWG (South East London Wargames Group) show is now just over a week away - SUNDAY 22nd OCTOBER at the usual venue, Crystal Palace sports stadium in South London. We will be up on the concourse as usual, one of the first stands that you come to after you come in the main doors. I hope to have a nice bunch of NEW RELEASES ready in time, more news on them later. If any of you would like anything brought to the show as a pre-order - especially things that we DON'T bring stock of to the shows (the 25mm, 6mm and 2mm ranges, plus the "minor" fleets of FT ships) - please get your lists to me by THIS SUNDAY (15th) so that I have enough time to be able to do them for you.

Hope to see lots of regular faces there, plus some new ones!

Jon (GZG), Thursday 12th Oct 2017.

UPDATE - MONDAY 2nd OCTOBER 2017:

NEW ITEMS UP ON STORE!

It's been a few weeks now since COLOURS (which went very well for us, the show seemed well attended) and I've finally got the new releases up on the store for ordering! Four packs of ISLAMIC FEDERATION troops in different headgear (see notes below) to give some variety to your regular IF units, and/or to use as irregular or insurgent forces....

Note on headgear in Islamic Federation figure packs (SG15-IF codes): The traditional Arabic cloth headgear has many names and can be worn in many different ways, but in this range of figures it is described as a Keffiyeh when worn around the head and draped over the back of the neck, the head part being retained by the rope circlet known as an Agal; the figure packs described as being in Shemagh depict the cloth wrapped turban-style around the head with excess fabric draped around the neck and shoulders, the Shemagh figures have a mix of ones with the face visible, and ones with the cloth over the face as a dust/sand mask.

SG15-IF13       Islamic Federation riflemen in Shemagh (8 figures, 2 each of 4 poses)                         £3.00 per pack (£2.50 ex-VAT)
SG15-IF19       Islamic Federation SAW gunners, Missile launchers and Snipers in Keffiyeh (8 figures, 2 each of 4 poses)                         £3.00 per pack (£2.50 ex-VAT)
SG15-IF20       Islamic Federation SAW gunners, Missile launchers and Snipers in Shemagh (8 figures, 2 each of 4 poses)                         £3.00 per pack (£2.50 ex-VAT)
SG15-IF22       Islamic Federation Treadbikes with crews (rider plus pillion rifleman) in Shemagh - two bikes and crews, multipart kits         £4.50 per pack (£3.75 ex-VAT)

One important little note to avoid confusion: I made an error in numbering the IF "treadbike" packs when putting the displays and listings together (mea culpa!), so to sort it out the Treadbike pack with HELMETED riders is now code SG15-IF21 (instead of IF20) and the IF20 code has been re-allocated to a different pack as above.

At the time of writing this, all mailorders are up-to-date and new orders are going out almost as soon as they are ordered - please be aware that things may slow a little as the SELWG (Crystal Palace, London) show approaches, but I'll try to keep getting most dispatches out within a couple of days at most.

On other things, I recently had the honour of spending an enjoyable couple of hours chatting by phone with Neil and co. from the MEEPLES AND MINIATURES podcast, and they've now posted most of my ramblings as No. 230 in their series of wargaming podcasts - so if you can stand an hour and a half of me talking about my early days in the hobby, starting GZG, and assorted other stuff then feel free to have a listen to it:
https://meeples.wordpress.com/2017/09/23/meeples-miniatures-episode-230-ground-zero-games/

Thanks for reading, hope to see lots of you at SELWG on the 22nd, more info on that very soon.....

UPDATE - MONDAY 4th SEPTEMBER 2017:

"COLOURS" IS GETTING CLOSE.....

The "COLOURS" show at Newbury Racecourse, Berks is now less than two weeks away (the show is on SATURDAY ONLY, the 16th Sept), so for the next ten days or so I'm going to be extremely busy making show stock; I will deal with mailorders as quickly as I can, but please be aware that some may take a bit longer than usual to process, especially if they contain items that I don't normally hold as ready stock.

Please check back here again soon for more details about the coming show.

Thanks for reading!

Jon (GZG), Monday 4th Sept 2017.

................................

UPDATE - SUNDAY 7th MAY 2017:

ALL THE SALUTE NEW RELEASES NOW ON THE STORE!

As promised in the last update, the 2017 SALUTE new releases are now all up on the store and available for mailorder!

Check out the relevant pages of the FT and SG15 listings, or just see the featured NEW ITEMS at the foot of this page.

FULL THRUST - for the CRUSTIES fleet:
All of these new releases for the FT "Crusties" fleet have been 3D-designed by MMG, very finely 3D-printed as masters and then moulded and cast in metal. The level of detail on these small ships and fighters is very high, and we plan to produce more new FT releases this way in the near future.
Please note that the FT1601 and 1621 packs REPLACE the original Crusties' fighter design that was only ever available as part of the old "Mystery Fleet" pack; if any of you have some of the old fighter design that you want to add to rather than replace (or supplement) with the new types, then please contact me (Jon) directly via email and small quantities can still be produced to special order when time and workload permits.

Please note also that the "Mystery Fleet" deal has now been DISCONTINUED, and the "Crusties" fleet option will been added to the menu of regular fleet packs - so you can now order Intro, Starter or Mega-fleet deals of them!

FT1601 Crusties Light Fighters (pack of 6 fighters, including metal "spider" stand and plastic base) £1.80 inc VAT (£1.50 ex VAT)

FT1621 Crusties Heavy Fighters (pack of 6 fighters, including metal "spider" stand and plastic base) £1.80 inc VAT (£1.50 ex VAT)

FT1602 Crusties Scout Boats (pack of 3 models, including 3 plastic bases) £2.40 inc VAT (£2.00 ex VAT)

FT1625 Crusties Strike Boats (pack of 3 models, including 3 plastic bases) £2.40 inc VAT (£2.00 ex VAT)

NEW SG15 RELEASES (15mm figures, weapon teams and light vehicles):

BRETHREN OF THE NEW LIGHT: FOUR new packs for the fundamentalist Brethren forces - three new sets of Heavy Weapon teams, plus a useful pack of handcarts for moving supplies and ammo! Traditonally-sculpted figures with 3D-designed hardware and equipment - the best of both worlds!

SG15-BR09 Brethren Mortar Teams - two full teams each consisting of mortar tube, support frame and base/stand, plus THREE crew figures for each weapon and separate mortar ammo cases. £3.00 inc VAT (£2.50 ex VAT)

SG15-BR10 Brethren Recoilless Rifle Teams - two full teams each consisting of weapon and mount (optional mounts are supplied for both weapons - a single piece casting with integral base AND a separate 2-part tripod that may be used if a base is not required, e.g.: if the weapon is being mounted in the back of a vehicle), plus two crew figures for each weapon - one with a separate base to allow him to be positioned at the sighting scope of the gun, whichever tripod option is used - and separate packs of ammunition. £3.00 inc VAT (£2.50 ex VAT)

SG15-BR11 Brethren Spigot Mortar Teams - an alternative bombardment weapon firing a heavy explosive bomb from a simple spigot launcher frame. While cumbersome and slow-loading, the size and explosive power of the bombs make this a highly effective and terrifying weapon. Pack contains two full teams each consisting of base mount, launcher spigot with loaded bomb, plus two crew figures for each weapon and separate bomb reloads. £3.00 inc VAT (£2.50 ex VAT)

SG15-BR12 Brethren Handcart Teams - two handcarts to carry supplies and ammunition, each supplied with two figures pulling the cart, PLUS a random selection of ammunition cases and reloads for the various heavy weapons used by the Brethren forces. As the Brethren troops most frequently operate as "leg" infantry, the handcarts are an ideal low-tech, low-cost solution to transporting their equipment and supplies, especially heavy items such as ammunition for the support weapon teams. £3.00 inc VAT (£2.50 ex VAT)

For the Kra'Vak, a pack of HEAVY ARMOURED WARRIORS:

SG15-K31 Kra'Vak Heavy Warriors in full armour suits, pack of SIX figures with separate Grav Packs (optional) and sufficient arm/weapon parts to assemble all six figures with standard K-gun hand weapons OR to give two of them a heavy support K-gun. £4.50 inc VAT (£3.75 ex VAT)

15mm Bikes, Quads and other Small Vehicles!

The other BIG part of the SALUTE releases was a selection of small vehicles for various forces from the Stargrunt 15 ranges; the Pan-African Union (PAU) got a Quad, the Federal Stats (FSE), Colonial Defence Force (CDF) and Islamic federation (IF) all got various types of ground bikes, the Eurasian Union (ESU) got a very chunky and powerful-looking Jetbike and the Xar aliens got some nice Grav-Discs to ride on!

All bikes and other hardware are once again 3D-designed by MMG, while all riders/pilots/crews are traditionally-sculpted to match their respective SG15 infantry ranges.

PLEASE

NOTE: most of our earlier releases of bikes and light vehicles were given V15 codes, as part of the 15mm vehicles range; this time I have decided to give the new releases SG15 codes specific to the forces that they "belong" to, BUT I've listed them all on the store both in the individual force ranges AND in the generic "light vehicles" category of the V15 vehicle listing, so you can find them either way.

SG15-P30 Pan-African Union (PAU) Quad with rider (in helmet) - one quad and rider, supplied as a multi-part kit including several optional stowage cases to fit on the mudguards of the Quad. £3.00 inc VAT (£2.50 ex VAT)

SG15-C30 Colonial Defence Force (CDF) wheeled scout bikes with riders (in helmet) - TWO bikes and riders, supplied as multi-part kits. £4.50 inc VAT (£3.75 ex VAT)

SG15-IF20 Islamic Federation (IF) tread-bikes with riders and passengers (in helmet) - TWO half-track sandbikes each with rider and rifle-armed pillion passenger, supplied as multi-part kits. £4.50 inc VAT (£3.75 ex VAT)

SG15-F35 Federal Stats (FSE) Colonial Legion scout bikes with riders and passengers (in helmet) - TWO twin-rear-wheel off-road bikes each with rider and rifle-armed pillion passenger, supplied as multi-part kits. £4.50 inc VAT (£3.75 ex VAT)

SG15-E35 Eurasian Solar Union (ESU) Jet Bikes with Naval Infantry riders (in helmet) - TWO bikes and riders, supplied as multi-part kits with low-level "flight" bases. £6.00 inc VAT (£5.00 ex VAT)

SG15-X38 XAR ("Chitters") aliens Grav Discs - TWO discs with Xar pilots, supplied as multi-part kits with low-level "flight" bases; each disc can be assembled with twin heavy weapon mounts as shown, or the mountings for the guns can be left off completely if you want them to be simple "scout" discs. Pack is supplied with THREE alternate head/torso parts for the Xar pilots, one with Beam Rifle, one with Beam Pistol and one with Vision Enhancer. £6.00 inc VAT (£5.00 ex VAT)

Thanks for reading.

UPDATE - FRIDAY 5th MAY 2017:

Post-SALUTE, back up to date again!

It hardly seems possible that SALUTE was two weeks ago - and my apologies to all of you who are waiting patiently (or not!) for the new releases to be up on the store - I've been trying to find a suitable window to get them done all week, but other stuff (both work and Real Life) keep getting in the way.... I can finally see some light at the end of the tunnel and the new releases WILL all be up and available to order by the end of this coming weekend!

All mailorder dispatches are pretty much back up to date, so when the orders start coming in for the new stuff there shouldn't be too much delay in getting them processed and out to you all.

Please check back here again soon......

Thanks for reading.

Jon (GZG), 5th May 2017.

................................

UPDATE - FRIDAY 21st APRIL 2017:

Final pre-SALUTE update.....

Better late than never, I guess.... only one day now before SALUTE, I'm heading down to ExCel this afternoon to set up.... for those of you making your way there tomorrow, we will be in pretty much the same place as the last couple of years - stand TE02. If you turn left as you come in from the queueing area, we're at the end of the second row of tradestands. There are quite a few new releases, including 15mm ones for the Brethren, PAU, CDF, FSE, Xar, Islamics, Kra'Vak and more - PLUS some new FULL THRUST codes for the Crusties - some really lovely new fighters and strikeboats, all 3D designed by MMG!

Oh, and we now have a new stock of the FT STARTER GAME BOXES, so these will be on sale again at a SPECIAL SHOW PRICE but will also be available again to mailorder next week.

I will have SOME stock of all the new items at the show, but a few of them will be in very small quantities only, so if you want to get them before they are sold out then please make us one of your first stops when you get into the hall!

Hope to see lots of you tomorrow, safe travels to the show......

Thanks for reading.

NEW RELEASES FOR SELWG!

I will have stock of all the following NEW packs available on Sunday (and of course they will be up on store for mail-order shortly after the show).
Please note that the limited-time special intro offer of the two free SAW gunners with most of the new rifles packs launched at COLOURS last month will END this coming Saturday night (8th Oct) at midnight as far as mailorders are concerned. All orders for those packs received up to that time will get the special 10-figure packs, any received after the midnight cutoff will get the regular 8-figure packs. At SELWG on Sunday, I will have VERY LIMITED NUMBERS of the 10-figure offer packs of some codes, when those are sold out we will revert to selling the regular 8-packs.

UPDATE - THURSDAY 8th SEPTEMBER 2016:

NEW RELEASES FOR COLOURS!

As well as casting loads of stock for the show, I should just about have a number of NEW releases ready for the show - I'm making the moulds for these this week in between casting stock, so it'll be down to the wire as usual, but I hope to have at least a small stock of these new packs on Saturday - so come and see us as soon as you get to the show, to avoid disappointment!
Don't forget we are up on the FIRST FLOOR of the Grandstand, in the same position as last year.

I will have the following NEW packs available on the day, though some will be in very limited quantities (they will be up on the store for mail-order shortly after the show, with pictures):
……………

TWO rifle packs for the ESU Naval Infantry - the start of a full re-sculpt of the ESU troops, replacing the old E01/E02 packs with greatly improved sculpts; similar overall style to the originals but now with redesigned helmets, new weapons, better posing and much more detail!

SG15-E10 ESU Naval Infantry (new sculpt) Rifle Pack A - 8 figures (4 different poses)* £3.00 per pack. SEE SPECIAL LAUNCH OFFER BELOW!

SG15-E11 ESU Naval Infantry (new sculpt) Rifle Pack B - 8 figures (4 different poses)* £3.00 per pack. SEE SPECIAL LAUNCH OFFER BELOW!

Also for the ESU, some heavy support in the form of the all-new Chernyy Medved ("Black Bear") Heavy Power Armour, complete with jump-jet packs and shoulder-mounted micromissile clusters; a selection of weapon options is supplied including standard PA automatic hand weapons, over/under combo hand weapons with grenade launcher, and rotary support cannon.

SG15-E31 ESU "Black Bear" Power Armour, 6 figures (3 each of 2 poses), separate jump-packs and arms/weapons with extra options. £4.50 per pack.
……………

The first pack of ground troops for the OutRim Coalition (ORC) forces - despite their acronym these are nothing to do with green-skinned alien hooligans, they are a high-tech force of human troops raised to protect the Outer Colonies against aggression from both alien incursions and the threat from the "old" powers of the Inner Worlds. All-new designs and sculpts.

SG15-RC01 ORC (OutRim Coalition) Marine Assault Troops in Combat Hardsuits, Rifle Pack A - 8 figures (4 different poses)* £3.00 per pack. SEE SPECIAL LAUNCH OFFER BELOW!
……………

The first pack of re-sculpted figures for the Islamic Federation forces - as with the ESU troops, this is the start of a complete rework and expansion of the range, with all-new sculpts, improved weapons and much finer detail! As with our original IF range, figures will be available in different headgear, including combat helmets and traditional Keffiyeh.

SG15-IF10 Islamic Federation Infantry in Helmets (new sculpt) Rifle Pack A - 8 figures (4 different poses)* £3.00 per pack. SEE SPECIAL LAUNCH OFFER BELOW!
……………

TWO rifle packs for the NSL Colonial Jaeger Light Infantry - the unarmoured light troops to support the NSL Panzergrenadiers - these are all-new re-sculpts to replace the original N02/N06 packs, with much improved proportions, poses and detail, their distinctive combat helmets and the same weapons types as the Panzergrenadier armoured troopers.

SG15-N41 NSL Jaeger Light Infantry (new sculpt) Rifle Pack A - 8 figures (4 different poses)* £3.00 per pack. SEE SPECIAL LAUNCH OFFER BELOW!

SG15-N42 NSL Jaeger Light Infantry (new sculpt) Rifle Pack B - 8 figures (4 different poses)* £3.00 per pack. SEE SPECIAL LAUNCH OFFER BELOW!
……………

* SPECIAL LAUNCH OFFER: for the show, AND then for a strictly limited time on mailorder, all the standard 8-figure Rifle Troops packs listed here will contain TEN figures instead of eight, as we're giving you TWO FREE SAW GUNNERS with each Rifles pack!

Thanks for reading, hope to see many of you at Newbury Racecourse this Saturday (10th)!

Jon (GZG), Thurs. 8th Sept 2016.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON NEW ISRAELI AND KRA'VAK STARSHIPS:

Please note that these two ranges of FT starships (the NI 15xx codes and K'V 4xx codes) are now suffering from significant mould wear, and in due course they will be withdrawn from sale pending the making of new moulds for them; if you wish to order any in the meantime we can still supply them for the moment, but on the understanding that some (especially the larger K'V classes) will need considerably more clean-up work (flash removal, re-opening mounting holes etc) that our normal castings. Thanks for your attention.
