Northstar Miniatures: Plastic 28mm Rubicon Model Tanks Promotion

 
Special three tank 'troop deals', available for pre-orders only. Offers end once the tanks are with us. Check the bargains here.

About Rubicon Models: Rubicon Models manufactured hard plastic kits for the Tabletop Miniature Games and Military Modeling market. For many years we have been a design studio, working on numerous projects for many Tabletop Miniature Game manufacturers and Computer Games publishers. When not designing miniatures for other people, we play and paint miniatures for fun ourselves. Our dream has always been to create miniatures under a brand name of our own.


The time has come to realize that dream with the launch of Rubicon Models. Our vision is to create the best hard plastic model kits for the Tabletop Miniature Game and Military Modelling market. Each kit will be easy to assemble, highly detailed and accurate.
Our first project is to launch a series of hard plastic World War II vehicles and tanks in 1/56 (28mm) scale. What distinguishes us from other companies in this field is not only fine detail and accuracy but also all of our kits will be multi-variant. Each kit you buy might have several choices of main gun, two choices of road wheels, three choices of gun turret, detachable protective armour or even two choices of hull. We are working hard to release new kits on a regular basis. Our plan is to grow the range by adding one kit per month to help you build up your arsenal of weaponry, and to aid you to become the best-equipped general in your gaming community!

Tabletop-Art: 15mm Terrain and accessories available soon

So I found this while snooping around on the web looks like some interesting terrain pieces that could be used as objectives in Flames of War or just some cool terrain.


Some of you might remember that a while ago we were offering 15mm terrain and accessories in our shop. Luckily, we recently have acquired the rights so that we will be able to offer the complete series again. There will not only be loads of previously unreleased products, we will also add a lot of new ones to the range :) Perfect for WW2 games in a scale of 15mm. The first products will be available on 29 October, after that we will launch some new stuff every month.

Warlord Games

The Puma is the next plastic kit to be released after the Panzer IV. You’ll be blown away by the detailing on this vehicle!
As if that wasn’t enough, we also have a early digital render of our forthcoming plastic Tiger I tank. As you can see we’ve spared no expense in adding zimmerit anti-magnetic paste to the Tiger – quite right too!

Our T-34/76 plastic kit is well underway…
And with our new Panzer IV plastic boxed set just round the corner, what better time to showcase all our fantastic Bolt Action plastic kits:

Warlord Games: New Photos: Plastic Panzer IV Ausf.F1/G/H


I personally can't wait to get my hands on one of theses.

Warlord Games
The latest addition to our fast-growing range of plastic 1:56 scale Bolt Action vehicles is this eagerly awaited Panzer IV medium tank!

  • The short-barrelled Ausf. F1.
WGB-WM-505-Panzer-IV-F1-e
  • The long-barrelled Ausf. G with its distinctive ball muzzle brake. Respectfully known by British forces in the desert campaign as the ‘Mark 4 Special’ it saw action in the Western Desert and the Russian Front primarily.
WGB-WM-505-Panzer-IV-F2-G-k
  • The Ausf H with its new muzzle brake and protective schürzen side skirts. A regular sight on late war battlefields, the Ausf H is one of the iconic Panzers of the war.

Warlord Games: New: Panzer II Ausf. L Luchs

  WARLORD GAMES:

The Panzer II Ausf. L Luchs (German for Lynx) was a heavily modified version of the Panzer II, with better armour, speed and range, making it a fantastic armoured scout vehicle.
WGB-WM-203-Panzer-II-Luchs-b
The Ausf. L Luchs was the final development of the Panzer II series of light tanks. Developed for light reconnaissance duties, the Luchs was produced during late 1943 and although an order for 800 of this new light tank was made to MAN and Henschel, the war ended before that could be completed and only just over a hundred were produced.
The Luchs’ four men crew consisted of commander, gunner, driver and radio-operator,  it  could reach a speed of 60 km/h and had a range of 290 km. The Luchs saw action until the end of the war on both the Eastern and Western Front with the Panzeraufklarungs-Abteilung (armoured reconnaissance) of the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS.

Warlord Games: Pre-Order: Plastic Panzer IV Ausf.F1/G/H

  WARLORD GAMES:

The latest addition to our fast-growing range of plastic 1:56 scale Bolt Action vehicles is this eagerly awaited Panzer IV medium tank!
Whilst the propaganda headlines may well have gone to the big cats such as the Panther and the Tiger, the Panzer IV was the backbone of German armoured capability throughout the war.
WGB-WM-505-Panzer-IV-H-a
You can choose to build your Panzer IV as one of three different variants:
  • The short-barrelled Ausf. F1.
  • The long-barrelled Ausf. G with its distinctive ball muzzle brake. Respectfully known by British forces in the desert campaign as the ‘Mark 4 Special’ it saw action in the Western Desert and the Russian Front primarily.
  • The Ausf H with its new muzzle brake and protective schürzen side skirts. A regular sight on late war battlefields, the Ausf H is one of the iconic Panzers of the war.
We’ll be showing off painted versions of the F1 and the G next week.
As with the other Bolt Action plastic vehicles, this kit is highly detailed yet easy to build. It provides a rugged gaming piece and will also appeal to painters and modellers.
The Panzer IV comes with a comprehensive waterslide decal sheet, allowing you to finish your new tank off perfectly!
