Additionally, the T-64 tanks we have seen for a while are now available in all three variants (T-64, T-64 BV, and Bulat), so they should be available soon to add to your collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the items above are going to be available at the show for all of those attending Salute, with the online store being updated later in the day. The show exclusive figures will only be out for a limited time and, unlike the other releases, will not be available as STLs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/spectreminiatures\/cosmic-horror\">Spectre Cosmic Horror Kickstarter is in its<\/a> final five days and has done incredibly well, breaking \u00a350,000 in pledges.

Their game &#8220;The Eagle Has Landed&#8221; is going to see the East Germans attacking Tempelhof Airport (complete with a wrecked M60), giving attendees at Salute a chance to play BattlegroundHD and have a first glimpse at the East German figures (complete with the heads for the elite Fallschirmj\u00e4ger).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

Crafted by Flank March Miniatures&#8217; very own Steffan (and so ideal to fit alongside his Cold War range), the figure shown is an Ulster Paramilitary armed with a Webley, ideal for the close-quarter nitty-gritty combat that their ruleset &#8220;Contact Wait Out&#8221; is designed for. Additionally, the first supplement for the upcoming rules will focus on the Covert War in Northern Ireland (a topic I know Dougie is incredibly keen on), which will have plenty of intricate details for such a small game.

figures that will be coming out in this month&#8217;s release. These guys are all ready for door-kicking, with a suitable sense of motion for a high-intensity set of assaulters, while a four-figure will provide a slightly more NCO pose. The heads are still temporary (you might recognise them from the VBSS set), but this is a great start.
