Ship Classes
|
|
Ships in A Billion Suns are categorised from the tiniest fighters up to huge dreadnoughts. We’ve created a handy chart that puts all of our spaceship models into the appropriate category for the game, which you can download as a PDF. Not every fleet has a ship for every category – but for us this […]

A Billion Possibilities
|
|
It’s still all hands to the pump at Brigade HQ, we’re slowly and steadily working through the order backlog – we’ve now caught up to Feb 14th and with luck should have cleared the backlog by the end of the weekend. However, we just had to find some time this week to get something new […]

Snowed Under
|
|
We’ve been a bit quiet on the blog for the past week or so – nothing untoward is going on, we’re just busy, really busy. We’ve had a lot of orders lately, far more than we’d usually expect this time of year, on top of which there’s been a restock order for one of our […]

AmRep Enhancements
|

First up, an important show update. Since we published new dates for Broadside and Salute earlier in the week, we’ve been informed that the organisers of Broadside have been forced to change the date again (they have our sympathies at the moment…) and it is now to be held on Saturday December 4th. As a […]

Show News
|
|
News of changes to some show dates came through this week. As the UK continues under a fairly strict lockdown, it’s difficult for show organisers to make plans without knowing what the situation will be next week, let alone in April or beyond. We’ve been informed that two of our regular shows, Broadside and Salute, […]

New Ukrainians in 6mm
|
|
We have a number of new releases at various stages of preparation, and it seems that many of them are 6mm SF. This is in part because we held back a number of new releases for the Joy of Six show last year which, like everything else, didn’t happen. So if you’re a micro-scale SF […]

Baby Hippos
|
|
Firstly, an update on our sale plans – before Christmas we mentioned that we were hoping to run a sale in the early part of the year, possibly during February. However, that was before the UK entered the latest set of strict lockdown conditions. Because of this we think it’s probably an unwise move – […]

Gaolhouse Rock
|
|
This week we have a first – since we switched to digital sculpts and 3D printing, Tony has done all of the design work on our new releases. But this week it’s Phil’s turn – these are his first two 3D sculpts to see the light of day. He may also be making some sort […]

Luxury Travel in the Skies
|
|
Today we take to the skies in unprecedented aerial luxury, with the release of three flying passenger liners. We have newly designed versions of the Majestic, Stirling Castle and Kaiserin Elizabeth class ships, all with resin hulls and metal parts. The largest, the Majestic, even has a small swimming pool on the afterdeck surrounded by […]
