AFCFA Reinforcements

My Armed Forced of the Charity Freedom Alliance line infantry are built up from GZG New Israelis but I wanted something similar but subtly different to represent an elite force within AFCFA.  These are Brigade Models Yenpalo, which fit the bill nicely.  They were previously available from Armies Army.

The pack includes 10 infantry: 6 riflemen, 2 support weapons, 2 leader-types and 2 with pistols and optional energy shields (which I will probably attach once I find where I've put them!).

Detail is good and they have a very good range of poses with some obviously firing, others advancing and I like the leader checking his watch!  All are wearing hardsuit armour and the guns are all of similar design, the support guns having a longer, heavier barrel.  Guns are not as detailed as some companies produce but still have a few features that drybrush well including sights etc.

After mounting on M8 washers, mine have been painted Humbrol 75 matt bronze green, washed with 50/50 Vallejo black in/Future floor polish with a Humbrol 86 matt light olive highlight.  Eyes are picked out in gold.  Weapons are matt black with Humbrol 32 matt dark grey drybrush to pick out the detail.  A fairly simple colour scheme but it matches my other AFCFA troops which is the main thing.

Overall, detail isn't as crisp as some other models (although I don't have any, the newer GZG New Israelis look like they have sharper detail and I might have used those instead if they'd come out sooner) but it's still very good.

I think I'd grade these a strong "B".

Sale time! Brigade Models Xmas sale 15% off lots of stuff!

Yet more Christmas sales, this time Brigade Models running until 17th December.

I have some Cougar and Komodo tanks waiting assembly plus Brigade have a fantastic range of stowage and tank crew to liven up any armoured vehicle.  With the recent addition of the Ainsty Hammer's Slammers line there's even more to choose from.  One of these I might actually finish assembling and painting them!  Now onto the important bit...

Welcome once more to our Xmas sale. It's the same format as in previous years again. Basically, that's 15% off all of our models. Although there are a few exceptions^*, this isn't a '15% off selected items' or 'Up to 15% off' sale, it's a real '15% off everything' sale. The sale will run for a month from today, ending on Sunday December 17th.

So once again that's 15% off all of our models^* - Aeronef, starships, Celtos, Small Scale Scenery, Land Ironclads, 15mm and 6mm tanks and figures, 10mm buildings, Squadron Commander, WWI Belgians, Magpies ... and the newly added Hammer's Slammers 15mm models are in there too.

And that's it - no minimum or maximum orders, just a blanket discount which runs until Midnight GMT on December 17th (remember the time difference if you're overseas). And we'll give you plenty of warning before it ends. So what are you waiting for ? Go out there and shop !

PLEASE READ THIS BIT

The website will still show the full price of each item, but the price that goes into the PayPal shopping cart will be the discounted one.
In addition, because of the way that browsers keep hold of old versions of websites if you've previously visited them, you might want to refresh your browser (usually F5 or shift-F5 on Windows machines) to ensure that the new version of the shopping code is loaded with the discount in. If we get an order from which the discount has not been deducted then we will make a manual PayPal refund for the equivalent amount.
^* - There are a few exceptions and conditions, as you might expect ... shipping will still be charged at the full rate, since we were unable to persuade the post office to match our offers. The discount covers our metal and resin models - it doesn't apply to rulebooks, dice, bases, Shapeways or anything else that we don't manufacture ourselves, simply because the margins on those items are much tighter. However, starter packs with rules, dice or bases in are covered. Even with these limitations, we're sure you'll agree it's a mighty fine offer !
