The 90mm one is too tall, but the 50mm one fits perfectly. See this earlier battle report of ours;

Where did you get the AT-AT looking figs? Did you build those?

I know they are sculpted by Germy... Are they GZG? Or Pendraken?  ???

I think they are GZG, but don't quote me on that...

So, my friend has bought a whole load of Land Ironclads stuff (at Salute of course), and after getting 2 rulebooks...

I have one!

So I shall be getting started at some point (probably helmet tanks and stuff like that that I can do) and he most certainly will be.

I have been following this thread and really enjoying it. Shame that Steve himself doesn't post here.
Would love to be updated... :)

Post Salute Update

Hello everyone. I have fantasticly gone under the top at Salute and bought myself 5 ironclads from Brigade. These will the the first perpose made ironclads I have bought, so I am not happy about it, but still, they are very nice.

New things;

Firstly a new german landbattleship (Brigade)


with a extra gun added to the back...


A few new large contraption walkers (GZG)


After two hours of serching at salute, I found the perfect tree slock foam stuff for 2mm trees, and attached it to a friend's airships


And. Just for fun, my current to-do pile

Ok, Little Update

Here is my new German Battleclad done appart from the base, took 2 hours.
I only just noticed that its the first of my Germans' that I have taken any real time in painting, rather than just geting them done. Deppressingly, I looked accross all of my ironclads, and Ive noticed that thay are all rather, erm, iffi......I from now on will try to make them abit better, and will paint them so they look a little nicer.

Anyway, here we go.




And the reason I got this model, the 7 Turrets!

When you have 5 12''s, and 4 5.5'' QFGs, no one is going to take you lightly.

Also, just for the sake of deppression, here is my German Horde, all together.

It is 2mm after all, perhaps it looks better at a distance....

Thanks All

Mate, don't fret.
It's all VERY impressive.

Mr Blease and Mr Hartley would be INCREDIBLY impressed.

Someday, I hope to sport a collection of LI, like yours, but alas that day shall not be soon.

The main thing really is to get them painted and then take them to shows, and do some demos! So I can see them in person!  :D
Also, I wouldn't say you buying stuff from Brigade is cheating... It's just liek buying from Irregular or GZG... Plus, supporting brigade, supports Wessex, which supports future games such as Aquanef, Astranef and Aeronef II... Oh and not forgetting Panzerfauste Legion, the best game ever written by men...  :)

Thank you for the kind words. I dont know if I agree with them though. you must addmit that the spare turrets for lee tanks in 15mm, with a added naval turret, then painted grey, without any running gear, make passable ironclads?

I do like Brigade, they are rather fantastic. I do wish they'd do components like bridges for ships though. Ho-hum.

I do see that you are from the eastern side of England. Im hopeing to do a degree in Kent starting in the summer, so you never know ;)
