[malika666]

The Novan Elites Guardian tank now comes with a new turret. In case you prefer the previous version, it's still available. :)

Novan Elites Guardian Tank Auto-cannon Turret - £10.00

 

 

The Elites Guardian tank is yet another product of Tusculum Nova’s most advanced research and development program to equip it’s Elite forces with the most powerful weapons and equipment that can be provided. Guardian’s are intended to act as front line main battle tanks a roll originally filled by the older Scorpion designs which have now been relegated to a supporting roll for the mechanised squadrons. The hull bears a similar appearance to the Mauler assault transport and was developed alongside that vehicle. Although smaller than the mauler it is none the less a very potent design heavily armed and armoured with an impressive turn of speed .

This particular variant of the Guardian utilises the latest turret design commonly found on many new production run Trojan IFV’s with in this case a twin 30mm auto-cannon mounted to either side of the commanders hatch with both anti-personnel and anti-armour capability, cheaper and easier to produce and maintain than the Guardians railgun system this configuration has found favour with many Elite forces and has even been retrofitted to damaged vehicles in the field.

Two sponson mounting points are also available these can be fitted with several weapon options with either the standard laser cannon or heavy machinegun being the most common choices and there is also a permanant forward hull MG fitted as standard.

In the guardian elite forces have a highly versatile and potent battle tank able to survive in the deadliest of warzones.

This pack contains 3 x guardian main battle tanks.

Model dimensions are: 30mm long, 22mm wide not including sponsons, 15mm high to top of turret.

New releases from Troublemaker Games this time modular plastic terrain kits from their recent successful crowd funding campaign now in store, these are the start of a whole series of terrain sets planned for the future.

 

[Red_Shift]

I think I got four buildings out of my pledge so I'm going to work out how many kits I need to make a mini town for dropzone and then order more.

[malika666]

Update from the crowdfunder:

 

State of play for the campaign pledges.Hello again Backer's,A little update to keep you all informed on just what's happening.Good news, I have received this week another batch of campaign casts with more to follow by the end of next week. I will be checking over all this mountain of casts and separating them into individual pledges ASAP.Bad news, there have been some issues with a lot of the infantry casts so in order to get the best casts possible to you all I have been working on correcting the problems this week and have just shipped the figures back to the casters for moulding. This obviously means that these figure sets will be further delayed with late May sometime as the best estimate for delivery to me I can give at present.The following sets will be delayed, Tainted command, Tainted heavy armour, both Urban regulars sets, Skinnerz artillery crews, Eloi Phase walkers and female commissars.So what I intend to do as far as practicable is ship out all pledges with what models I have available and send the delayed infantry sets in a second shipping wave once they are in. Obviously this is not ideal but at least you guys will be getting the majority of your orders and I clear a load of castings I have lying around here. Costly for me to do it this way but I hate to keep people waiting.Hope you guys find this an acceptable solution.King regards John

[malika666]

 

 

More campaign castings have arrived.

Backer's update,

Thought i'd post up some pictures of the latest castings that have come in I will be sorting over these and bagging up as normal over the coming week, hope to see the last of the outstanding castings arriving within the next two weeks fingers crossed.

Currently have 25 more pledges ready to ship by weeks end with more to follow the week after with luck. The desire is to be able to complete all orders by the end of May.

So pictures here we have the Urban regulars sets which we have converted to single sided sprues which has resulted in excellent casts, it's the way forward for sure. Also the female political officers, Eloi Phase Walkers and Tainted aircraft for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks for your continued patience.

Kind regards John
