U.K stockists of WW1 Tanks 28mm scale
« on: May 14, 2007, 10:27:08 PM »
Hello again,
Does anyone know who stocks WW1 tanks in the U.K? I know Brigade games do in the US but not found anyone here.I'm sure Renegade did for a while or did I imagine it? :roll:

North Star sell Brigade in the UK, but don't sell everything that Brigade make, and unfortunately they don't do the tanks.

However, North Star do sell Great War Miniatures' models, and they have just brought out a Mark IV. I've ordered one myself, and they say they've sent it. Give it a day or so and I'll be able to give you a review of the fellow.

North Star:

But if you want the Brigade ones, why not order direct? I have ordered from them before without any bother, and the exchange rate is currrently very good for buying from the USA.

Edit: Here is the story behind the Renegade tanks:

Thanks Plynkes.
I've ordered from Brigade before but it was just a few figs. I was worried the shipping would be costly despite the excellent exchange rate. I'll take a look at the North Star stuff-I've ordered some of their Project X stuff before and they're pretty fast. Like you say, let me know once you've got your tank.
Another thing Plynkes... your battle reports have inspired me to take a new interest in gaming in the WW1 East Africa theatre. I'm going to put it to my gaming group next time we meet, which is Saturday. :mrgreen:

Those are the same. The models are from Tony Ashcroft from New Zealand, he closed his 'company' NZWM a while ago and sold of his remaining tanks to Renegade, the moulds went to brigade games (WW1) and AFAIK Army Group North (WW2). I was quick I got me an A7Vand Mk IV from Renegade, but they sold out after a couple of months.

Foundry doesa Mk IV, too, but I think it's smaller (25mm) and really, really expensive (not that the brigade ones come cheap).
