Product Update: 2mm Copperplate Gothic Letters HAVE ARRIVED!

This is an exciting day here at Secret Weapon HQ. Today the first of our photo etched brass has finally arrived. I am very (VERY!) happy to announce that the 2mm Copperplate Gothic letters is now available for purchase!

This is the first of many photo etched brass products already in the works. The 2mm runes have been approved and are in the production queue - and our first terrain/vehicle conversion kit, using a combination of resin and brass etch product, is in the final stages of development.

Me, I'm waiting impatiently for the tank I just ordered to arrive. At least one set of these letters is already spoken for.

Product Update: Photo Etched Brass Runes!

Hot on the heels of the upcoming 2mm Copperplate Gothic lettering I'm happy to post this sneak peak of 2mm runes. This set includes three of most characters in the Elder Futhark and three surface etched pieces of knot work.

The piece in the bottom right of the preview image is just over 1/2" (roughly 15mm) and fits as many as six runes -- more if you plan carefully -- and can be used as a name plate on the item of your choice. Perfect for vehicles and terrain features!

The preview is shown without tabs to better showcase the individual characters. The actual product may vary when it gets out of production.

The first batch of 2mm runes should be available the first week of December and should sell for $8/ea.

Next up in the photo etched brass series - the first vehicle and terrain kit from Secret Weapon Miniatures!

Product Update: Photo Etched Brass Letters!

I am very happy to announce the first Secret Weapon photo etched brass product - 2mm letters in Copperplate Gothic.

These letters have been modified slightly from their original form to make them more legible at such a small size as each is just shy of 2mm tall. Each sheet comes with three of every letter and number.

The first batch is expected to be ready to ship the first week of November and should sell for $8/ea.

This is just the first of many photo etched brass products to come.

Peer Review: On The Table

If you haven't watched the "Beasts of War" weekly "On the Table" broadcast, you're missing out. This series is produced in conjunction with Tabletop Gaming News - and both sites are in the regular blog roll here at Secret Weapon HQ.

Of course things have been so busy since the launch in September that there hasn't been a lot of time for the usual round of forum and blog stalking -- which is why I'm glad that an email came in today letting us know that we had been mentioned TWICE in recent broadcasts!

This video has a quick look at several new released - and we show up at the 0:42 mark --


This broadcast has some good looks at what happened at GDUK - and we show up at the 4:05 mark --


While it's always nice to be making buzz I really do encourage people to check out at least the weekly broadcast - it's well produced and always has something worth watching.

the Not-So-Secret SUPER SALE!

This is the last week to take advantage of 10% savings on THE ENTIRE RANGE of resin bases - including the new "Trench Works" Squad Display Base!

Sale pricing ends on Sunday, October 11th - but all current discount coupons have been extended through that date. Many items have also been pre-cast to allow for next day shipping of most orders.
