Look what just came out:

 

Novan Elites Battlemaster Command Tank:

The Battlemaster is a front line C4i (command, control, communications, computer and intelligence) vehicle for novan elite forces.

 

The design is basically a stretched mauler assault transport chassis and shares many components with that vehicle, the increased internal space allows for a full battlefield command and control suite to be installed giving up to the minute intelligence and situational awarness to the battlegroup commander via the highly sophisticated sensor dome mounted on the upper hull and functions in a similar roll to the regular armies Dictum command vehicle.

 

The sensor module (with a more limited capacity) can also be mounted on the trojan APC but the smaller size of this vehicle does not allow for the full command package or holo tank to be installed.

 

Due to the increased internal space a transport variant of this vehicle has been developed for novan elite troops in heavy armour allowing up to 10 such troopers to be transported instead of the mauler’s 5 man capacity with this armour type. With the sensor suite removed the vehicle also has the capacity to mount a scorpion tank turret for increased firepower. This however does reduce the transport capacity back to 5 men due to the turrets operating systems, crew and ammunition.

 

Dimensions are: hull length 42mm, hull width 25mm, hull height 9mm not including sponson mounts or sensor dome.

Single model (£7.50): http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-elites-battlemaster-command-tank-x1/

 

Two-pack (£14.00): http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-elites-battlemaster-command-tank-x-2/

 

 

And yes, it's compatible with existing turrets/sponsons:

New release!!! I'm kinda excited here, for years I've been working on designing ships and one of the reasons why I've joined up with Vanguard Miniatures was to have my ship designs put in production. Hopefully this will be the beginning of a whole bunch of ships being released!

 

Novan Elites Panthera Class Heavy Frigate x 2 - £7.00

The Panthera class Heavy Frigate is the workhorse of the Novan Elite fleets. Heavily armed and armoured, its various weapon configurations allow it to fulfil many different void combat roles.

No matter its broadside configuration, the Panthera’s basic armament includes two heavy twin linked dorsal mounted turrets 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 it’s modular design.

Most commonly used are weapons batteries, more than capable of tearing huge chunks out of enemy vessels many times its own size. Another popular configuration for the Panthera is to fit it with launch bays, allowing the heavy frigate to carry several squadrons of Javelin fighters and Pilum bombers. In order to protect other ships of the fleet from waves of ordnance and enemy fighters the Panthera is sometimes also configured with broadside turret platforms capable of projecting a withering volume of defensive fire.

 

Panthera class heavy frigate x 2 with three broadside options each. Images show three vessels to demonstrate the broadside options.

 

Model is 52mm long, bases not included.

The Gladiator walker kit will be updated:

I have had a walking pose created for the gladiator and mirrored it to gain two new poses. Also had the arm mounts lowered as I feel it creates a more pleasing aesthetic for the model.

Also, new prints:

 

Pilum class bombers:

 

More Centurion Battle Tank variants:

 

I've got two questions for you:

1) Would you like to see a 6mm version of the Pilum bomber?

2) What other Centurion variants would you like to see?

Also, a little something for BFG fans: expect a big announcement in the coming days...

[Petitioner's City]

This really makes me think of Warzone 2100, which at the time did remind me of 40k (at least in weapon names, if nothing else).

Need some reinforcements for your Novan Elites?

 

Novan Elites Hammer and Hunter Tanks - £6.00

As Novan Elite forces grew to operate more independently from other elements of the Novan military, they were forced to develop vehicles and units normally assigned to the Novan Regulars. This means that the Novan Elites needed to develop their own siege tanks. A modification of the Trojan Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) hull was developed to match the Regulars’ Support Tank Hull. Like its Warrior IFV based brother, this variant of the Trojan has been armed with various weapon configurations – the two most popular being the Siege Cannon and the Heavy Laser Cannon.

 

The Trojan Hammer is a light siege tank, deployed to take out enemy bunkers and fortifications. Its Siege Cannon can easily turn armoured structures into rubble.

 

The Trojan Hunter’s role is that of a tank hunter. Its Heavy Laser Cannon has been designed to penetrate heavy armour and thick shielding, making the Trojan Hunter the perfect candidate to eliminate enemy tanks and even larger war engines.

 

Pack contains: 2 x hulls, 2 x siege cannon, 2 x laser cannon
