Can't wait to get my hands on some and paint up in a Necromundian regiment colour-scheme.

Exactly the same paint scheme I was thinking! Would look great on an ash wastes board.

And then the release of a new Novan sub-faction, the Convent.
The Novan Convents are often believed by outsiders to engage in the forbidden arts known as “Religion”, but in truth they are merely appropriators of ancient titles and attitudes, using the rituals and practices of the mystics of old Earth to hone their minds and bodies into facilitators of Saullo’s Justice.
A combination of capable army and secret police, the Convents are fearsome opponents.

Novan Convent Redeemers - £7.00

Each Convent Redeemer set contains 6 redeemers:

3 x Redeemer body A

3 x Redeemer body B

6 x Left Arm

6 x Right Arm

News on the 6mm Winter range.

Due to continued issues with the winter castings I've commissioned a revamp of the entire line starting with the rifle troops which have been updated and strengthened these will be off to the casters this coming week ETA on back in store would be 4 to 6 weeks depending on how busy the casters are. New winter rifles prints below.

Next will be the specialists set and then the Grenadiers and Cavalry, after that I've an idea to add a new edition to the range.

Here is a space station I made out of Vanguard's (or Troublemaker's?) plastic terrain. It's a small station that was very easy to construct, althoug it took me a while to bling it out a bit. The statues are from the plastic 6mm troops sprue also sold by Vanguard, because I felt I should use as many parts from the same manufacturer as possible...for some reason.

I have a larger Venguard terrain space station in the works, but it will require some more bits collecting before I can complete it. If interested, I can show some of the chassis.

The 3mm terrain stuff is going to be in my next order for sure, as well as the dome terrain set. Unfortunately, the Battlegroup Helios weapons batteries are just a little bit too pricey for me to buy in the numbers I'd want for a station.

Indeed. That is my favorite kit for spaceship kitbashing. I'll have to buy another one soon.

I didn't use it here because a) I used most of mine up already, and b) Most of the station bits have a style more consistent with Tau ships than Imperial in my opinion. Antennae and turrets are useful, though.

Oh, and I wouldn't say it's stuffed with turrets. It has some great turrets, but not enough for a large station or battlecruiser covered with lance batteries. But that is a problem easily rectified with some 1/700 ship ordnance kits.

To take this full circle, Vanguard sells some of their 6mm turrets seperately if you want to make a 6mm fortress or have some HUGE cannons on your spaceship/station.

I've got a feeling those turrets would be way too big for space ship scaled stuff.

I reckon the Mauler add-ons wouldn't be too out-of-scale for spaceship turrets. Or at least for a space station.
Those are the first ones Kid Kyoto posted.

The regular tank turrets are probably too big, but the Mauler stuff is all sponsons and ... how to say it ... roof-mounted ordinance?

Consider factory station "Room 101" in Asher's Polityverse is 80 miles long, 50 deep and 30 high... (IIRC)
