Does anyone else make Victorian/Edwardian/Great War flying battleships, cruisers, etc? There are a lot of the Brigade designs that I just don't like. Not looking for Sky Galleons of Mars-scale gunboats. Looking forsomething smaller than Leviathans, as well. |

Technically, even Brigade doesn't make Aeronefs any more.  Same models, different game system now – Imperial Skies. The official Aeronef minis from Wessex Games (publisher of Aeronef) are not currently available, according to their website. |

Well, not aeronefs specifically, just flying warahips. |

Honestly, I think Brigade is it, unless you go the 3D printing route. |
| emckinney | 04 Sep 2022 12:26 p.m. PST |
I haven't even found decent 3D models. |

Technically, even Brigade doesn't make Aeronefs any more. Technically, both. Thus far, Tony et al haven't deleted the Aeronef support files. Just relabeled the main sale page. Sorry if that got a bit astray. Have you looked at ZN ships? Not currently manufactured, but some are still around. Not shps int the air, mind you. Doug |

Are ZN just the Airships vs. Aliens game? If so, not enough models and really not the right look. |

Does anyone carry Imperial Skies on the U.S. side of the Pond? I don't want to deal with the complexities of international trade. |

The rules or the miniatures? From what I hear, ordering from Brigade is easy … |

We carried the books for a while, so you might ask your local FLGS to see if they can order. I know Scale Creep has 'em, but Mark was in the hospital recently and I don't know how soon he'll be handling orders. Also, available in a PDF from Wargames Vault. Sorry abo9ut the ZN's not working; only other thing I can think of is Irregular's ships, but those are basically surface ships with a bottom added to make airships. Not a bad description of Leviathans, but even more so. I think you could do as well with Panzerschiffe's ore-dreadnoughts and dreadnoughts with some simple tweeks. Doug |

PS Ah, for the days when the mighty TMP hordes of picky members would have pages of posts pointing out the L in FLGS is Local, so local IS redundant. Memories.. Doug |

Irregular's ships look great. Too bad there are only two fleets. Still … Any idea how their size compares to Brigade? |
| Shagnasty | 06 Sep 2022 4:22 p.m. PST |
Thanks gentlemen, I shall contact Scale Creep forthwith. |
| TheBeast | 07 Sep 2022 10:59 a.m. PST |
Sorry, as to comparison, I've only seen some of the spaceships. Toyed with the idea of ordering from the UK, but never followed up. Doug |

Note that Brigade also sells the bits that lend national character to each ship (turrets, cranes, stacks, etc.), so there is quite a bit of scratchbuilding potential in this genre. - Ix |
