Check it out.

Looks like even more new stuff is in the works. Did I just see mention of a new miniatures license?
-
You most certainly did my friend!
I just had some fun last week at the Cold Wars game convention in Lancaster, PA, running Mars Needs Steam!, a miniatures battle game set on Mars in the Space: 1889 universe, complete with land dreadnoughts, Fenian rebels, angry Canal Martians, and a very dangerous steam-powered electric cannon. Those rules will probably be published by Test of Battle Games, but we don't have a tentative release date yet. Within a month or so I should have a miniatures license to announce as well, so stay tuned for more news.
I believe our own Sterling Moose played in that game. Exciting news!

One of the best piece of news this year so far!
I suppose, however, that the minis' scale (if they are 28mm) will make them incompatible with RAFM's truish-25mm ones...
-
Those RAFM are classic minis.

They are, just oh so small.....

It would be lovely if they did some sort of high-tech magic and enlarged those old castings to match tody's 28mm stuff. Probably more practical to sculpt completely new stuff though.
-
I just hope the new line doesn't force RAFM's original line off the market. They're great figs, and still the backbone of my colonial armies!
-
I just hope that RAFM will still be involved.

As I am looking at expanding play into the realm of 15mm, they remain giants to me. ;->=

They were at Hot Lead on the weekend, and Space 1889 remains very much on the backburner.... I got a few pieces, but I had to preorder them.

To cater for the current market they'll have to make their figures bigger otherwise they will lose a lot of potential customers. I'm sure we were told that the Cyclops was designed for 28mm............and were then disapointed by it's diminuative size.

So it's 15mm and 1:2400 scale. :-I

Doh! Having said that it may allow more of a fleet to be purchased???

That's was what I was thinking... Good thing I hadn't already bid on the box of old ship on ebay!

Has anyone told Fjodin? Should be right up his street ;)

Well, that's me out. No problem with the Sky Galleons scale, but 15mm is an absolute non-starter. Oh, well...

I'm a sad rough rider. :'(
I like the sound of new ships though. o_o

WOW! NEW 15mm VSF!

Now, now, RAFM still has the 'true' 25's, there are plenty of similar figs if you really must have steroid 25's. ;->=
I was thrilled to see Highlander Studios (it does sound like a one man show ) found inspiration in a 15mm Kraag. I've been wanting them forever.
But, I know the ships, we can all be happy about.
