The Ion Age

The Ion Age is back to mother company - Alternative Armies. You can find all sets there.

The Ion Age is a brand of Alternative Armies and is dedicated to providing wargamers and hobbyists with a unique setting for all of their gaming experiences. Since its creation in the early 1990's the Ion Age has supplied white metal miniatures to many thousands of customers all across the world. This new vision of the Ion Age aims to continue and expand on all of Alternative Armies previous work.

It is our aim to bring you the highest quality white metal (28mm and 15mm scales) miniatures and resin vehicles and larger miniatures along with great print and electronic game systems and articles all set in a space opera wargame universe.

We are a part of a small and professional company based at Girvan, Ayrshire in Scotland and this is only one of several online presences we have and brands we operate. Others can be found by searching for Alternative Armies and 15mm.co.uk. We have been in this business for twenty years and enjoy a great reputation in our market places.

There are a number of people in our team but the ones you will hear most about online and in emails and blog posts from The Ion Age are:

Gavin Syme (GBS) - Author of USEME, Flintloque, Erin, Typhon and many other wargame systems Gavin Syme is the driving force and creative vision in The Ion Age. With more than ten years experience in the industry he is also the mind behind 15mm.co.uk.

Sam Croes (SC) - Talented Miniatures Designer and Digital Artist Sam Croes is the mind and hands dedicated to fashioning the denizens of The Ion Age.

Back in July 2013 I was given the chance to take what existed of the space opera setting of The Ion Age and develop it as a free standing entity apart from Alternative Armies. In the near five years since then I feel that the little team I assembled has achieved some great things including a 15mm range which went from some thirty poses to many hundreds of poses, new factions, many vehicles and a terrain range. There was also the three books of the Patrol Angis game system. We also had four years of monthly free special miniatures. All great stuff.

The world changes as you all will know and I have reached an agreement with Alternative Armies to hand The Ion Age ranges back to the mother company. The reasons for this are several. Firstly the ranges have grown to a point where I no longer feel comfortable handling their expansion on my own. Secondly Alternative Armies has greater resources which I feel are needed as we continue onto a fourth book and more releases. Thirdly I realise that we are now in an age of social media (so much different from 2013) and that I am the public face of both Alternative Armies and The Ion Age; this tends to cause some confusion for gamers. With everything in one place this confusion vanishes and The Ion Age will be able also to take part in the big offers that Alternative Armies makes. Alternative Armies has increased its staff level and technical resources and is a very active company. It makes sense to have this return happen.

Do not fret. There are no staff changes and no miniatures will disappear from production. Alternative Armies and The Ion Age operate out of the same office.
