Matt can we have a model update?

specifically on the Neroon and Brivoki?

Whilst I'll be happy to see a new brivoki, i think it's a shame if the neroon has to be re-sculpted, I thought it looked quite cool!

however armageddon was out ages ago, and these two ships have yet to appear.

I still can't get anything on this side of the pond. I'm waiting for a dozen models new and old and a rulebook. Still waiting. My distributor says it's in Mongoose's hands.

Hi there,

There should not be any hold ups in the US - drop afennell@mongoosepublishing.com a line with your stores details, and he'll see exactly what is going on.

We have a new system for ship sculpting now, which is just coming up to speed. The Neroon and Brivoki are both waiting in the wings at the moment, and we will see the new Hyperions (and possibly the Valen) beforehand, but the two big 'uns will follow quickly after.

Adrian is currently splitting his time between these, the CTA Painting Guide, and Project V-Max.

The painting guide, incidentally, has spiralled as a project - if you are a counter man (like LBH), it may just convince you to pick up a brush, with the 'paint a ship in 10-15 minutes/a fleet in a morning' sections. In fact, it shows you how you can put all your ships together on a Friday evening, paint them Saturday morning, and be playing in the afternoon!

Dedicated painters are going to love the pages and pages of Adrian's 'masterclass' ships, each of which has a full guide to reach his results. And even if you are a committed non-painter, the sections on variant paint schemes/special squadrons/flagships and so forth are going to have enough background material to keep you going.

We were going to put a few new rules in this book, but will instead stick to our promise of just one rules release every year for CTA. However, this is going to be a very attractive book.

Look out for it in March next year, but you'll see the new ships before that.

Glad to hear that - rules updates in S&P or downloadable FAQ's, painting guides in the painting guide, please!

The vast majority of ships are in stock - those that aren't can be brought in within ten days.

I still think that a UK foundery is a good idea just think of the massive turnover of stock

I still think that a UK foundery is a good idea just think of the massive turnover and stock

How would a UK foundry massively increase turnover?

 

[Shadow Queen]

lots of stock

 

[katadder]

really should get the ships out that have had rules for a year before concentrating on remade ships or ships that dont even have rules yet.

Ok guys, straight from the horses mouth here. We stock a bucketload of B5, we talk with other stores which also carry B5 and everybody has the same issue; no ships...
There are 3 UK suppliers, I have spoken will all 3 of them in person today and all 3 have confirmed that there are still no new ships to be had within the UK, this includes the Gaim, Ka Bintak, G Vrahn, etc, etc.
Regardless of what anybody else says here on this forum I can tell you that all 3 suppliers are being told that a shipment will be heading toward the UK "later this month or early next..." and that they will have a selection of unspecified new releases. Again, all 3 are saying the same thing that they don´t know exactly when this shipment will be dispatched, when it will land or what exactly it contains but that there "is a good chance" that some new stuff is coming.
Hopefully, this means that by around Mid November there will be a large amount of readily available new releases in the UK, it looks like we will be hit enmasse by new releases next month but everybody is very very reluctant to confirm anything at all until they actually have the ships in their hands.
