Third party miniatures [Vanguard Miniatures] Mar 10: Zeus Grand Cruiser + Cybershadow ships

[Hrvat]

Panthera looks like a stubby Strike Cruiser 

[malika666]

It's a tiny bit smaller than the Strike Cruiser. The Panthera is about 55mm long whilst the Strike Cruiser is 65mm IIRC.

Thanks.

 

Considering the front cm of the Strike Cruiser is rather volume light, mostly sensors I feel the bulk of the Panthera should match it quite nicely for tonnage (I wonder would that even be a term for space ships).

Coming soon...

 

Sneak peak of the shiny new Skinners light Ironclads set which should be out within a month or so's time. This set will be followed by the heavy Ironclads both of which replace the old mixed Ironclads set which has been long out of stock.

Looks very cool ! Can imagine that forming the basis of some kind of Warboss conversion as well.

Big announcement: Novan Convent forces inbound!

 

The Novan Convents are often believed by outsiders to engage in the forbidden arts known as “Religion”, but in truth they are merely appropriators of ancient titles and attitudes, using the rituals and practices of the mystics of old Earth to hone their minds and bodies into facilitators of Saullo’s Justice.

A combination of capable army and secret police, the Convents are fearsome opponents.

More Cybershadows reinforcements inbound!

 

Cybershadow Vanguard Combat Drones - £7.00

Forging ahead of the main battle line, Cybershadow Vanguard Combat Drones use their speed and firepower to breach and disrupt the enemy's front line positions.

Set contains 24 x Cybershadow vanguard combat drones (4 variants)

Novan Elites aerial reinforcements inbound!!!

 

Novan Elites Wyvern Light Dropship - £10.00

 

https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-elites-wyvern-light-dropship/

 

The Wyvern light dropship serves a complementary role to its larger cousin the Eagle as an orbital insertion troop and equipment lander, enabling Novan Elite forces to rapidly establish a deployable beachhead within the chosen target zone. While the Wyvern cannot match the Eagle in total transport capacity, its higher top speed, smaller size and integrated vectored thrusters make the Wyvern perfect for maneuvering in confined landing zones and urban environments. These traits, combined with the Wyvern’s flexible, modular design make them ideal for deploying a variety of small fire teams to key battlefield locations.

 

Two variants currently serve with the Novan Elites forces:

 

Wyvern A is a dedicated troop carrier.

 

Wyvern B replaces the passenger bay in favour of an open cargo bay and attachment claw assemble with magnetic locking points for various cargo modules.

 

 

 

This set contains the parts to make one Wyvern dropship model, either the troop carrier or cargo module hauler variant.

 

Model approximate dimensions: Length = 50mm, Wingspan = 52mm, Height = 12mm.

 

Please note that this model can only be built in flight mode and that we will look at the potential for a landed version should demand require it.

 

Flight stand included.

 

This is a multi-part resin casting.

An elite arm of the Precursors the Cybershadow Sentinels act as guardians at all Cybershadow military and expeditionary installations as well as escorting high ranking Cybershadow personnel in the bodyguard roll. Equipped with the standard Precursor combat armour augmented with the addition of Sentinel shields which not only provides a physical barrier to enemy fire but also generates a personal protective forward projected energy shield. Sentinels can interlock their shields to provide a continuous energy wall against hostile action. Their weapon of choice is the sentinel lightning spear, the lightning spear is an disruptor type energy weapon capable of projecting a lethal burst of high intensity energy at fairly long range that disables vehicle power systems and kills infantry with ease. The spear can be set to a none lethal setting that renders humans unconscious should capture be the desired outcome.

 

Sentinels are often deployed in a combat formation know as the Phallanx an impenetrable wall of energy shields and deadly spears, supported on both flanks by Precursor detachments this formation has proven a tough nut to crack.

[malika666]

New ships inbound!!!

 

Novan Elites Lynx Class Destroyers - £5.00

Lynx class Destroyers are small and fast craft that are capable of quickly delivering their deadly cargo. For its size the Lynx is heavily armed, making it a jack of all trades. Its basic armament includes two dorsal mounted twin turrets to take out incoming ordnance which can be replaced with planetary bombardment cannon as the mission dictates, and two pairs of prow torpedo tubes. Its broadsides allow for different types of weapon systems which can be changed whilst in dock due to its modular design. Most common broadside configurations are either weapon batteries or launch bays for a small compliment of fighters and assault craft.

Its diverse armament is also its main disadvantage. A lot of space normally used for supplies such as fuel, ammunition, foodstuffs, and oxygen is sacrificed for the Lynx’s many weapon systems. What this means is that the Lynx needs constant resupplying, making it incapable of long independent missions away from sources of supply. Because of this the Lynx is often deployed on short duration missions only, when not operating as part of a larger battle flotilla.

 

This set contains:

2 x Lynx Destroyer hulls (1 x batteries, 1 x launch bays)

2 x optional wings sets and twin turrets

2 x alternative bombardment turrets

Model length approx. 38mm

Set contains 4 x CA100-A robots in four poses.

Model height approx. 18mm including shoulder cannon.
