Hullo everyone,

It's time for our first resin release for our Steampunk battle game Timeline 300 - the British Heavy Cruiser.

At 16cm long is a whopper of a kit.



We'd love to hear feedback on this kit (please be kind on the painting, I'm not the best painter in the world!).


In other news, by early next month we should have another wave of new releases too:

- Martian Flying Machines (resin)
- German Armoured Infantry
- German Revenants
- British Field Guns


And we're also cutting steel on our very own pressure injected plastic bases sprue this week, puny laser cut bases are no longer awesome enough for us!

Interesting Concept. Alternative History/Pulp Settings are really all the rage these days.

Thanks!

Yeah, but ours are bigger. :-p

Nice models - I'm intrigued.

I reckon if you removed the tracks, and witha little bit of 'tweaking', these would make fantastic Ork vessels for a 40K based naval game.

Thankyou sir.

Well, if you weren't interested in our own wargame system (rules available free on our website), then the Heavy Cruiser is Resin so the tracks could be cut off without too much bother.

You will find that pretty much all products shown on this site will be analyzed for how they might work with Warhammer 40,000. Dont take any offense, its just what people on here do.

@Evil & Chaos - pretty much this! I didn't mean to cause any offence, it's just that there have been a couple of threads regarding naval forces in 40K, so when I saw these I thought they'd work pretty well.

Oh no offense taken at all, I know Dakka is mostly about the 40k.

I was just gently advertising our free-to-download Beta rulebook. :-)

You'll need a much bigger mallet than that to do that job!

However, I am intrigued but not all that impressed with the land-ship. The single bow track means that that 'ship' would never be able to turn. Agreed resin means I can quite easily remove it, but then I'd want something to replace it. or make the side tracks longer and so better support the bow.

Your versions of the martian war machines are suitably impressive on the other hand. And I realise how difficult it is to design something like that and not end up with people saying that it's based on either of the films, or Jeff Wayne's musical version of the War of the Worlds.

That's part of the fun of the design... it can't go up and down hills with more than a slow 1% gradient curve either!


Worthy of note : GW Land Raiders & Leman Russ tanks have almost zero ground clearance between the hull and the tracks, which means that if they were real they'd get hung up on the first 30cm high rock in the road...

...by which I mean, when you're making fantasy tanks, awesomeness often matters more than realism. :-)

We do make a nod to the impracticality of the British faction land ships in our rules, as they can rotate only 45 degrees per turn rather than 90 degrees per turn like other factions. The Land Cruiser is even slower, only being able to rotate once every two turns.

Thankyou very much - that is very high praise indeed.
