Bradley Miniatures presents new 15mm vehicles

From the talented hands of Bradley Miniatures (who has an extensive 6mm range made by us) come three further 15mm scale vehicle kits for your science fiction battlefields.  Adding to the tanks, towed artillery, drop pod and others is a super heavy hovercraft and two variants of an armoured car.  Let us see the new goodies in the Bradley Miniatures 15mm Range.

BR1510 Gotha Heavy Hovercraft: The Gotha is often used as a command vehicle in hover formations.  It features an impressive electronic suite as well as greater armour and the ability to carry a full squad of assault troops.  One of the largest hovercraft ever constructed. A 15mm scale kit in high quality resin and metal with all parts required to build one. Supplied is the main hull, top turret, a set of fins plus two different main weapons for a choice (Tri-Barrel Cannon and Energy Cannon). When assembled this vehicle is 120mm long, 70mm wide and about 35mm tall.

BR1509A Carver Scout Car: The six wheeled Carver provides mobile armour for infantry formations.  Tough and dependable it comes in two primary variants the more common turret and the 'stug' variant which gives up internal space for a heavier weapon. One 15mm scale kit in high quality resin and metal with all parts required to build one Carver Scout Car.  Supplied is the main hull, six wheel piece, turret, main gun and secondary weapon.  When assembled this vehicle is 60mm long, 30mm wide and about 30mm tall.

BR1509B Carver Scout Stug: The more common Carver has a turret and this the 'stug' variant which gives up internal space for a much heavier weapon. One 15mm scale kit in high quality resin and metal with all parts required to build one Carver Scout Stug.  Supplied is the main hull, six wheel piece, main gun and secondary weapon. When assembled this vehicle is 60mm long, 30mm wide and about 30mm tall.

These are our last 15mm science fiction releases during the Spring Mega Event and soon the any scale AS031 Warbot III which is free in all orders placed automatically (until 24th April) will not longer be.  We think it looks pretty neat next to the Carver Scout Stug.

We have three different Warbots which all work in any scale from 6mm to 28mm and since they are all ‘Formerly Free in Orders’ each has a big production run discount on it.  Stomp one home today!

Thanks for your Time.

BR042 Erzherzog 6mm Heavy Tank new by Bradley Miniatures

The forty second pack in the great Bradley Miniatures 6mm Range is now on the website.  Remember to check out the Bradley Miniatures 15mm Range for larger versions of some of their vehicles.  Say hello to the thick armoured beast that is the Erzherzog!

The Erzherzog (meaning 'archduke' in German), is a large, heavily armed and armored vehicle commonly found in the armored retinues of the Houses Karl. It is used as a breakthrough tank to smash enemy lines. To achieve the high performance required by its mission profile, the Erzherzog is powered by a powerful archite reactor, allowing it to press an attack for days without refuelling, so long as its ammunition supplies last. The downside is that, while the vehicle itself is not prohibitively expensive to produce, refined archite crystal is a rare and prized resource. Most commanders carefully conserve their precious supplies of archite fuel for these pivotal assaults, and it is rare to see Erzherzogs fighting on the frontlines with more common troops.

BR042 Erzherog Heavy Tank:  This 6mm scale metal vehicle comes in a pack of three with three different hulls or choice of singles on the website where you can select which turret you want from the three.  Each vehicle is 27mm long, 16mm wide and 13mm tall (with turret).  Supplied unpainted and requires assembly.

The range contains a wide array of choices of infantry, power armoured infantry, bikes, light vehicles, medium and heavy vehicles as well as skimmers a mighty Dropship plus Mecha and walkers such as BR006 Tiger Combat Walker above and the BR026 Lynx Scout Walker below.  

Good for any game system.

Check out UM016 USEME 6mm Science Fiction written by Vic Dobson which gives fast play and easy to learn rules including solo play to use with any range of miniatures including Bradley’s.  In pocket sized Print and as a Digital Download too.

Our 6mm Terrain Range gives you twenty eight different desert buildings as well as bundles and saver sets too.

BR041 Drop Pod 6mm released from Bradley Miniatures

New and now on the website the forty first code in the expanding 6mm Bradley Miniatures Science Fiction Range.  Adding to an array of infantry, heavy infantry walkers, light to heavy vehicles, tanks, mecha and a mighty dropship we present the Drop Pod.

When you need to get two fire-teams into the action sharpish then you want to be spat at the ground in a drop pod.  Used in infiltration and full scale assaults it is to the elite troops that places are given aboard these pods.

BR041 Drop Pod:  Choose from a single kit or pack of four. Each Drop Pod is made of a single piece metal hull and sprue of four doors. Assembled it is 20mm tall.  Scaled to fit with Bradley 6mm Grenadier Infantry (BR008 etc).

The drop pod goes in nicely alongside the rest of the Bradley Miniatures 6mm range.

Our any scale AS016 War Bot is 40mm tall and is excellent as a 6mm scale titan with its cockpit in the shoulder and top mounted sensor and comms cluster.  Here you can see it next to Bradley Miniatures 6mm Infantry and the ST01 Government Building (Arid World).

We have a full range of twenty eight different 6mm Arid World Buildings as singles and as value sets with savings too.

Written by Vic Dobson life long wargamer UM016 USEME 6mm Science Fiction is a straight forward set of wargame rules in print and digital download. Skirmish, Battle, Build your own Forces and Solo Play too.  Great value and really easy to pick up.  One of many titles in the USEME System.

This is our only 6mm scale release until the end of 2023.  Thank you for your attention.

By Request scale compare 15mm Raxa Attack Ship in 6mm and 28mm too

Following last week's release of the new Raxa Light Attack Ship there were requests from the wargaming community for more information about this 15mm scale kit. Specifically how would it compare to miniatures in the smaller 6mm scale and the larger 28mm scale. Would it work for them? We like to think that this article gives a response firmly in the affirmative. 

 

 

Above an example of all three scales. In 28mm scale this is a big drone for your tabletop. In 15mm it is a two crew light flyer for air support. In 6mm scale it is a dropship which can carry a platoon of armoured infantry or several light vehicles. 

 

As you can see next to the Bradley Miniatures 6mm Science Fiction vehicles and our 6mm Arid World Terrain range the Raxa looks like a platoon carrying dropship much like the BR027 Corvo Dropship which is about the same size but with less of a wing span. Perhaps the Raxa is a lander used by an alien race invading a Human world. 

 

 

Now this is interesting. In 28mm scale next to an Ion Age Betrayer and the Space Rangers Officer from Alternate Stars range the Raxa becomes an automated machine used to soar over the enemy and record their movements. Perhaps it is a one man recon flyer? 

 

 

In its native scale the Raxa is a two crew flyer which belongs to the Space Raptor aliens the Chuhuac. Seen here next to the Security Force Alpha (from the HOF 15mm Science Fiction Range) trooper and the Bulldog Anti-Grav APC it fits in well in military terms. When placed with the Octopod Aliens and Corporate Ashigaru it seems more like a civilian flyer or a corporate armed drone. 

 

We hope you enjoyed this little alternative view of the new vehicle.

BR1507 Pendulum Scout Car 15mm release from Bradley Miniatures

The Pendulum provides a limited battlefield role in fire support but it is in scouting and in exo environments that it comes into its own by far. Sealed for air and for toxins the crew of three can extend communications as well as military aide.

Now added to the Bradley Miniatures 15mm Science Fiction range new Pendulum Scout Car. Joining Tanks, Towed Artillery and more.  A new pack which contains one kit in high quality resin with all parts required for one vehicle  Supplied is the main hull, six wheels, three different turret pods (Comms Dish, Gun Pod and Missile Box Pod) for your choice of load out. Assembly is required of low complexity.  When assembled this vehicle is 60mm long, 50mm wide and about 25mm tall.

A useful wheeled vehicle for operating on the moon or low gravity worlds as well as in typical recon runs.

See our BLOG for a Tank Showcase of four different air brush paint schemes on Bradley's Lionheart and Stormheart main battle tanks.  Click through to get big pictures.

While this range does not as yet include infantry its vehicles are ideally suited to pairing with Security Force Alpha our generic Human future force in the HOF 15mm Science Fiction range.  As well as more than a dozen vehicles and a half dozen mecha (100mm or taller see above) the 'SFA' also have battlesuits, weapon platforms, bikes and drop pods to go with more than one hundred poses of trooper.
