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

[Doctor Perils]

That was fast :P

 

Really good looking pseudo-mastodon :) Looks like it would be the perfect "mars-pattern" Mastodon in fairness, considering Forge World's "Deimos-Pattern" Mastodon.

 

And, I know this may be Heresy... but I prefer yours :)

[paulJam]

in a fit of weak will i finally succumbed and ordered a couple of units just to dip my toe in before AT reveals itself.

And another little announcement from Vanguard Miniatures' Facebook page:

A new addition to the VTOL range will be this skycrane variant which should be out in a few months time.

Due to continuing issues with the fragile tail fins on these models i've commissioned a resculpt of the weak area which has now been fixed by beefing up the tail booms and extending the horizontal stabiliser forward to greatly strengthen the whole area whilst keeping the overall aesthetic of the designs. This means a re-print and new moulds so the kakapo and moa once sold out will not be back in stock until the new moulds are created. I know this is not ideal but the problem needed addressing if the models are to remain part of the range.

New reinforcements for the Novan Regulars, the Dragon Flame Tank:

 

http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/P1040853s.jpg

http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Dragon-4.jpg

 

Dragon flamethrower tanks are not operated by regular mechanised forces but by specialist engineer units attached to novan battlegroups on an ad hoc basis as the situation dictates.

 

Yet another variant of the popular warrior chassis the rear hull troop carrying section has been replaced with a massive armoured fuel pod which feeds a high pressure flame projector turret capable of hurling a jet of extremely volatile and highly combustable liquid many metres. Utilised to breach enemy defense zones and stubborn pockets of enemy resistance this terror weapon has been know to cause the enemy to withdraw at the sight of an approaching dragon before it even gets close enough to fire.

 

An horrific but highly effective weapon system used sparingly but to great effect by novan forces the dragon flame tank is considered by many a distastful but none the less necessary tool.

 

This pack contains 3 x Dragon tanks each with three variant turret options.

 

£12.50

http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/P1040852s.jpg

The warrior IFV hull has seen numerous adaptions over it’s years of service. Many field modifications as well as factory produced variants have come and gone but others have prooven themselves in the test of battle and endured to this day. Two such variants are the Hunter tank destroyer and the Hammer bunker buster.

 

Both vehicles use the same adapted warrior hull to house a specialist heavy weapon in a fixed forward mount giving a low profile for an excellent hull down capability.

 

The hunter houses a long barrelled high energy laser cannon capable of penetrating the heaviest armour making for a most effect tank hunter.

 

The hammer on the other hand has a completely different roll and houses a short barrelled heavy mortar designed to smash enemy fortifications to rubble in short order.

 

Most often seen supporting warrior mounted mechanised forces these vehicles are a powerful addition to the novan arsenal.

[Eternal Warrior]

These are beyond amazing. Spending the equal of $50 and having a ton of great looking littler than normal dudes that look great. Now the only thing I can't imagine is adapting these guys to my favorite tabletop strategy boardgame.... Does anyone have any initial ideas?
