Compound Interest USEME 15mm Complete Starter Set released

"Brother Clement..what is that I see yonder in the dawning light beyond our blessed fence?" 
 
"High Priest…I do not know...beasts of the radiation…men perhaps. Certainly none which were invited. Shall I call the brothers to arms?" 
 
 
Cultists and Post Apocalyptic Warriors meet in battle with the third complete starter set for the ultra simple game system which is USEME. Containing all you need to play the three included scenarios. This means the USEME Post Apocalyptic booklet, two dice, bases and twenty eight 15mm scale miniatures plus a speeder kit all with a wee saving too. See the Website for the whole USEME Range of a dozen titles and three starter sets.  
 

UMS03 Compound Interest comes with a six page insert giving you the setting of the fenced compound of the Way of the Truth cult and the attacking Brutal Hand Clan of warriors. Three linked scenarios taking you from the fence itself to the compound and then deep underground to the focus of the cult's worship. With maps and special rules tied into the game booklet. Lastly two rosters of the characters so you can get playing straight away. Supplied in print with the starter set you can download the insert on the UMS03 page or on our FREE DOWNLOADS collected page for free. 
 
All of the miniatures in this starter set come from the HOF 15mm Science Fiction Range if you wish to learn more and see them. 
 
 
There are fifteen different pocket sized booklets to choose from and each is in print and as a paid download too. Learn about each from game books to expansion and the latest 6mm Science Fiction and Prohibition Gangsters on their pages. Great fun! USEME Alien Safari is in playtesting stage (greyed out and not yet released) and will be coming later in 2022 as the 16th title. 
 

UMS01 Danger on Outpost 32: Alien Greys invade a peaceful space outpost intent on abduction. Can the rag tag array of aliens, troops and civilians prevent this? Find out in a complete starter set with scenarios, miniatures, bases and dice. 
 
 
UMS02 Ziggurat of Clem IV: Zidhe Space Elves have found an ancient and vital ruin but they are discovered as they try to enter it. The Octopods launch an attack! Can the Zidhe prevent the tentacle faced aliens from taking the prize? You can find out in a complete starter set with scenarios, miniatures, bases and dice. 
 
 
If you want to find some really cool 15mm science fiction miniatures and strange aliens and vehicles then check out the SHM and Space Vikings range (that is where the aliens came from in Danger on Outpose 32) in which a dozen aspiring sculptors have put their creations. Thank you for your time.

HOF161 Uplifted Cattle 15mm scale released

“Farmer Jones got a real surprise on Friday morning for he did not know that the Zeta Reticulans had visited his dairy farm during the night and had 'uplifted' his cows.  Rather than happily queuing up for the milking machines the cattle were walking about on their hind hoofs and carrying death rays!  Farmer Jones never managed to tell his wife about this..but she heard the herd atomise her man and his dying scream.” 

A new code in the HOF 15mm Science Fiction range gives you three poses of cyber augmented cows armed with heavy death rays projectors.  It is also our last in the massive expansion of the Grey Aliens in the range. Our thanks to veteran wargamer Fred Richards.

HOF161 Uplifted Cattle: This pack contains three 15mm scale metal Cows in a three different poses. These were once normal cattle but now cyber and generically uplifted they obey their overlords. Each miniature is approx 23mm to eyeline in scale with the rest of the HOF Range.  Eye lenses and cables along with other odd devices make the Uplifted Cattle very strong.  


In fact they are 'Udderly Splendid' (groan!) Upright Cow aiming heavy Death Ray (A), Upright Cow with heavy Death Ray raised (B) and Upright Cow firing heavy Death Ray (C). See them HERE.

The grand and noble HOF (Hordes of the Future) range contains a wide variety of 15mm Science Fiction Miniatures and Vehicles. Each miniature is on its own integral base and made in high quality metal or grey tone resin.  Humans (Security Force Alpha, Cultists, Post Apoc Warriors, Rim Mercs, Civilians), Aliens, Mecha, Robots and much more besides in more than one hundred and sixty codes of some four hundred poses. These miniatures can be used for any purpose in this scale. Every code can be bought as a pack or you can also choose single miniatures from pack codes within them.  Refine your search on the range page by type using the 'Filter By' box.

Thanks for Reading,
