Archon Studio - Guard Alternative models (Rampart)

[GreenScorpion]

Archon Studio has been mostly focusing on hard plastic terrain and similar stuff, but they made some infantry and vehicles some years ago in hard plastic which were only available through kickstarter or gamefound until recently.

They have been slowly releasing some of the stuff to retail and things are starting to appear on retailers from other countries in addition to their own webstore.

Although I have not bought anything from them, most of their stuff seems to have reasonable reviews and now that their focus is starting to be more on retail, they might start expanding their current lines, so I thought it was a good idea to share in the sub-forum in case of interest.

 

This is their shop:

The Wolverine tank seems to be a mix of a leman russ and a chimera in terms of weaponry and gear, but the reviews I have seen indicate that it is a good tank/transport kit.

Most of their city defenders seem to be one off miniatures with little customization, but since they are plastic they might be good for conversions, although they are apparently slimmer than GW stuff.

 

EDIT
Some pictures that I didn't have the time to add when I wrote the rest:

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but Mantic is now offering the wolverine tank in a pack of 3 for $100 USD ($80 from my store.)

 

This looks to be the easiest and most affordable option to get a full armored company on the table, so I figured it warranted discussion again.

The troop carrying ability, along with the (alternative) IFV turret, makes these ideal transport for your armoured fist units :) :
