"New Aeronef Releases" Topic

I used to own a ton of Tony's stuff. Great product at a great price. I hope the owners of the miniatures know what a great experience buying from Brigade Models is and have bought more to increase their fleets.

Yes, I agree. Good stuff. I still have a lot of the ships. And always great service.

Over the years I have had a couple of problems with orders mailed to the US. Tony has immediately made right anything that was lost in the ether or damaged in transit. Combined with prompt processing Brigade is one of the best companies out there. Thanks Tony for the many years of excellent service. I need a new nef fleet. Time to start plotting.

I've looked at these before, and have always wondered if there was an official Martian fleet. I only saw human ones.

These look great! The von Parseval really hits the sweet spot for what a cool VSF war dirigible should look like.

And I agree that the service from Brigade Models has always been great. I've just now had a minor hick-up with them and they've been very communicative and helpful sorting it out.

Thanks everyone – I'm almost blushing

What's great is that after 15 years, possibly more, Aeronef sales still hold up well enough to justify new releases. Testament to Steve Blease and Matt Hartley's solid rules.

Lucius – the official Martian fleet was sold by Wessex Games, but I think they're out of production at the moment.

I just completed a major clean out of my wargames room and discovered all the original rules along with a bunch of 'nefs. Unpainted of course. They are now #2 in the queue and looking to add to my fleets!

Tony,

Will Steve's Martians ever see the light of day again? I doubt it. It is not even shown on the Wessex website. What about doing an alien fleet (call it Martian, Jovian, Venusian)? I would certainly buy it. Could fight my Iron Stars or Aeronef fleets.

Allen – great minds clearly think alike, 'Venusian' nef and scenery are in this year's plans.

Very nice.I would love to see some Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers type of ships in this scale

'Venusian' nef and scenery are in this year's plans.

That sounds awesome! I hope they'll have a tangible sword-and-planet look to them. Decorative curving bowsprits, fins and things like that on the 'nefs, and domes, spires, arches etc on the buildings.

Come to think of it, any chance for "Venusian" buildings in 6mm and 15mm? I could use 15mm ones in at least 5 different VSF/SF/fantasy settings that I game/collect.

The Venusian nef I have in mind are definitely more sword-and-sandal than tentacle-and-tripod.

Our first Venusian buildings will be in the 2mm range to go with the Nef – but we could well venture into larger scales later.

I'll second the call for Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers style ships in this scale.

Thanks for clarifying that, Tony.
I've almost purchased this game several times over the last few years, but never did, because I wanted a human vs alien match.

Looking forward to Venusians, esp. If they look more like, well, the ships out of John Carter. Thin, weird, delicate.

dig ordered, along with a few other bits I can't live without.

Great looking stuff, and I'm really looking forward to official Venusians (or Venuvians). I have some of the old Space 1889 ships for Martians, and had been thinking of Impact's recent airships for Venuvians but I can always make them something else.
