Flashpoint Miniatures new releases!

I got this email from Anton today:

"Gents It is with delight that I present you all with our first major communist release under the Flashpoint Reloaded brand. The North Vietnamese Army in all of its determined glory becomes available in early October. Boasting over forty individual sculpts this is only the first half of the anticipated launch for the North Vietnamese which covers the basis for any communist commander in vietnam...the NVA Rifle Company.


NVA Rifle Company HQ
NVA Rifle Platoon
NVA Mortar Section
NVA Anti-tank Section (RR)
NVA Anti-Air Section (DsHK HMG)
NVA Reconnaissance Section

For pictures of the NVA check out the following link... http://www.flashpointminiatures.com/index.html

The second launching for the NVA expected later 2007 will also expand to cover the follwing communist assets....
Anti-Air Grail sections
Anti-tank Sagger sections
NVA Sapper Raiding forces

Also whilst your checking out the new releases be sure to drop by the gallery and view the amazing paintwork of Lea Boultwood (Warpainter) who has done a superb job of the new US Army range.

The NVA are currently en route to Lea so expect some darn nice piccies of them in the not too distant future.

With Karl Cederman (formerly Battlefront miniatures) now an active operative in Flashpoints ranks we are making serious in roads into our long awaited range of vehicles, check out the first pics of the upcoming M113 in the new "Warfactory" section of the main page. We are sure that you will like this little puppy which is due out in the next month or so...

With the M113 we will be releasing the following variants...
M113 field ambulance- with stretcher bearers :)
M113 Battle taxi
M113 ACAV

Also on Karls workbench is the new M48 Patton and the UH-1D Huey Slick!!! Stay tuned as photos will be placed for all to view as soon as I have them in my hands...

On a final note the Flashpoint Reloaded Vietnam rulebook is nearing final completion. Ken Cole (Tail End Charlie) has been working feverishly putting this all together in what will become the Vietnam defining wargame.

We expect that FPR-V will be released in late 2007/early 2008, between now and then the new ANZACs (Australian Task Force) will be released, the Main Force and Local force VC and another huge addition to the US Marine Corps.Stay tuned as developments unravell.....
Enjoy!!!
Anton Flashpoint"

  1. Man! You have a nice place here! I have not done any modeling in years! I have an M113 here I am about to start. I see you have a M113 "shell". Can you tell me what it is and maybe where I could get a couple. I have never seen anything like it? Either way--Hang in there brother!
