Here at North Star we've been selling hundreds and hundreds of copies of Gaslands over the past two years. It's a bit popular isn't it?

We also enjoy playing, in fact I think there will be chaotic 6 player game next Thursday.

When Gaslands Refuelled was announced, I thought 'why don't we do something for it?' There's loads of great stuff produced by people for the Gaslands Hobby, but not much in plastic. People like modelling in plastic, and we have been producing plastic figures for the past 5 years now, so I thought 'lets do it'.

So to celebrate Gaslands Refuelled, we'll be launching the Implements of Carnage, a plastic frame of weapons, figures and armour. You will be able to buy it on it's own for £5, but we'll be giving one away free with every copy of Gaslands Refuelled preordered from us.

The preoder program will begin on the 16th of August. There will be an Early Bird offer, so make sure you jump in straight away. The offer will end when the book is available, around the 19th of September.

Unfortunately, I don't think the frame will be ready before the book is with us. That means our preorders will probably leave a week later than other suppliers. If you are the guy who 'has' to have his book before anyone else, we'll not be the people to order from.

Hope you join us in this project.

PS We're planning to offer templates, dice, tokens etc as well.

What a great idea. Can't wait to get my hands on a couple of these frames.

Ooh, 1/64 scale, or something else?

There's even bikers on there!

So far, I've been scratch building a lot of features, combined with some resin parts originally from a Devil's Run conversion pack, but plastic bits would be several shades of awesome!

I'll be pre-ordering for sure...

That is a cracking idea!

I never did play Dark Future properly, only the 'race game' version, but certainly enjoyed making a few cars.
That frame would be like a serious nostalgia trip for a lot of people, even if they do not want to play Gaslands.

Would the frame be available on its own at some point, as I could see you selling quite a few....?

They are nominally 20mm, but what we actually did was scale them to 'look cool on hotwheels cars'. Yes, that technical

The frame will be available on it's own straight away, so you won't need to buy the book from us to get one. But if you buy Gaslands Refuelled, you'll get a free frame as well.

We're also planning to add an extra Motorbike (in resin) for the Early Bird preorder customers.

Yeah, but it'll wait for the book, as postage to the Netherlands will most likely be as much as one of those frames, so better consolidate...

Ah, perfect then, there may be some handy bits. I'm building up a fleet for Wacky Races (for Maximillian 1934, aka Wacky Max 1968) using the 1/72-ish plastic cars from CMON's board game, and then kitbashing another fleet for Tom Slick crossovers.

I've been playing with some of the 3D copies of the Implements of Carnage. The sizes and detail will be improved on the actual plastics.

Got the cars painted this afternoon. Very serviceable. I'll plan out and take more time on the next one I do.

We've added Gaslands Skid Dice to our catalogue. These are available now.

Nice!

Having bikes, and guns and extra bits all together is great. I found various bits in my bits boxes, but the more the merrier!

I've wanted to get gaslands, I think this may be the tipping point.

I feel the same, knocking up stuff from nothing is fun, but this gives some bits to start off with. Great work Nick.

The bikers are a nice touch too.

Is Brigade doing this for those of us in the States?
