Ark Royal 1/1200 Ancient ships range

 

Dekeres, Hexeres, Quinqureme

Here is the scope and detail of the range as we come close to launch. All packs contain metal bases for each ship.Sails and masts can be bought separately as many who game with galleys do not use sails on the their models and making them an accessory seemed the best way to offer the range. I will go to a pre order stage first with delivery scheduled for January 2022. The range covers four significant periods of conflict. The codes for each period are listed. The models are 1/1200 scale and cast in metal. Pack prices are likley to be around £15. Interested customers can email me to register a preorder before anything officially goes into the online store. I hope to have a pdf version of the rules available by February. These are based on Mad for War.
