Galactic Knights Rulebook CoverFrom Monday Knight Productions

 

Galactic Knights is the new fleet battle miniatures game from Monday Knight Productions and Dan Davidson which will use their Galactic Knights line of miniatures.

 

The Galactic Knights miniatures were originally sold by Superior Models as the Starfleet Wars line starting in the late 1970"s along with some very basic rules.

 

Monday Knight Productions also manufactures and sells felt gaming mats with space scenes on them with and without hexes.  More information on the SCN Other Products page

3/29/2012 - Some news about the Galactic Knights miniatures and rules were posted on TMP today:

- The 1 pound of metal Super Galactic Dreadnaughts are now going to be available in resin. Save on price and shipping but keep the fine detail! link

- They have re-released the Terran Space Station as a BYOSS system where you can buy each part separately link

- They have not forgotten about the Aquarians. Should have play-test ships available at Enfilade 2012 in Olympia, WA over Memorial Day Weekend.

 

6/8/2009 - Carnivoran Republic Star Forces, an expansion including the rules for the Carnivoran fleet is now available from Monday Knight in 2 formats, a CD ROM of the rules ($7.95) or a printed version with a comb binding ($9.95), plus a deal to get both formats for $14.95.

Plus there is some talk on the Galactic Knights Yahoo group that Monday Knight is looking at the possibility of casting the largest ships in this line, (Battlecruisers up to Super Galactic Dreadnoughts) in resin instead of metal which could result in lower prices (and a lot lighter minis).

 

6/26/2006 - Entomalian Invasion, fleet book 1 for Galactic Knights was released at Enfilde earlier this month.  Included are rules for all Entomalian ships, from the smallest fighter to the massive SuperGalactic Dreadnoughts, new weapons, stock ship designs, a complete ship design system, blank ship sheets (for the ships you design), and a background story on their interactions with human forces.

3/8/2003 - GeoHex has closed its doors and Monday Knight Productions has taken over certain aspects of GeoHex's business including the flet Space Mats.  The Galactic Knights line of miniatures is still in production.

and
Entomolian Empire Imperial Fleet minis are currently available with the other 3 fleets slated for release later this year.  A webpage is up and pictures are posted of all the currently available minis.  The minis are sold with new bases designed for this line and able to handle the massive Super Galactic Dreadnoughts plus a new fighter base holding  3 fighters along with a d6.

 

3/19/2001 - From The Miniatures Page, Monday Knight Productions will be casting the Starfleet Wars miniatures:

From Kieran Rohan of Monday Knight Productions:

          Monday Knight Productions recently signed a license with Bill Char, owner of Stellargames.com, to mold his line of Starships, the ones created and sold many years ago by Superior Models. Bill bought the line and all the rights four+ years ago when the owner of Superior retired.

          We'll start our releases to distributors in June with the Terrans and Entomolians, the two major powers. We hope to have all five fleets into distribution by the end of the year.

          These are large ships - 90% of them are one-piece models. They look great, and should sell well as alternative fleets for Full Thrust. We already have three distributors interested, and GAMA is soon.

 

9/28/99 - These are some of my favorite miniatures and are what got me interested in starship miniatures and gaming back around 1977-78.  I had heard rumors that Superior Models had gone out of business and then saw on The Miniatures Page that ALNAVCO had bought the rights to their WWI and WWII 1/2400 and 1/1200 naval minis So I contacted Game Masters who have been distributing Superior's Starfleet Wars line of starship minis and the related MAATAC line of sci-fi armor on the web to find out the current status of these lines.  Here is what I got back:

 

From William Char [bill3@stellargames.com]

          On September 9, I (Game Masters) purchased all of the copyrights, trademarks, rule books, originals, production masters, molds, and remaining inventory pertaining to the Starfleet Wars and MAATAC miniature lines from Superior Models.

          Thus, I can reproduce, re-edit, and re-release their games and gaming miniatures.  And, hopefully do it at a reduced cost to all those gaming fans out there.  Of particular interest, I can produce the few remaining models that have been out of production for the last 20 years.  These include the massive Terran StarFortress and MAATAC robotic infantry.

          I currently have everything in stock, but need some time to re-price the miniatures and reorganize my garage.
