Spartan Games, makers of a VSF naval wargame, has announced that they are going to venture into the 28mm skirmish figures market.

Here are some links:

Thread about it on Spartan's forum:

Links to overviews of the four Great Powers:
Prussians
Japan
Britain
Americans

I thought I would post this here because I bet there is a high concentration of folks hereabouts always on the lookout for new sources and figure sculpts for 28mm VSF.

According to the blog and overviews they are going to do some vehicles as well.

The previewed figures so far look like they would mix well with Lead Adventure's VSF 28mm guys (particularly those Ottomans).

Looks great!

Will have to set aside some cash for the launch. That giant robot is so cute!

I just discovered SG is going to release some very passable models that could serve as Martian Tripods. (Although they are not 28mm - looks like they are scaled to their naval war games.)

Almost in time for Well's birthday: Tripods. <---Link.

Pretty neat.

I'm thinking that I may have had a sub-concious premonition of this about a year ago when I got Flag Dude to do me flags for the main factions!! Looking forward to these that's for sure!!

Hopefully the War Store will take some to Fall In for me to buy.

Working in the Gaming industry, I've been expecting a "40K Killer" for a year or two now.

Dust Warfare didn't capitalize fast enough before 6th Ed, War/Hordes has no casual play and Mantic don't ship fast enough.

Spartan may have a decent shot, assuming they leave the release long enough after the Hobbit.

Many of the models look very promising. I'll have to see more models and their price points before knowing if it's going to supply me with armies or warbands of models.

Some pretty cool stuff in there!

Well, this was an interesting turn of events and in my opinion, a very good one too.

I like the Teutonic suits. I already have Impervious Suits for my Prussians but with some minor alterations, those would work well for the Knights of Malta in my Papal force.

The Brit Readcoat looks rather promising in the concept... Maybe Spartan'll be the one to come up with a figure that is easy to convert into a Defiance: Vital Ground Redcoat...

Heard rumours about this ages ago.
That Prussian walker looks massive!!! The tanks look a little too 40K for me but I'll wait and see.
The infantry concepts are very nice but I would like to see more actual minis.
Hopefully those massive vehicle won't be as expensive as Forgeworld stuff......
