I have a
vision for the Ion Age and in the next few postings I am going to
tell you all about it. Its my hope that as time passes wargamers and
hobbyists will flip back through the blog on the website and come
across these postings. So what is my vision?
Well
those who follow my own website and postings on blogs such as
Dropship Horizon will know that I lament the endless stream of
science fiction clones that are being introduced to the wargame
industry. Hard military sci-fi is a great genre but its not for me,
its not what I want to play. It also seems its not what a lot of
other wargamers want from their science fiction gaming either. I
want space opera, nobility, heroes, actual knights in space! More
like the grand visions of the 1970's and 1980's. A new look at space
opera for wargaming. Hence our new website, this blog and all the efforts put
in by myself and others towards this goal.
This is a
herculean task and no mistake I know that. But from small acorns and
all that. The beginning..well that was in the HOF 15mm Science Fiction range over on 15mm.co.uk.
The HOF
range contains nearly one hundred different packs of miniatures and
they are a very diverse lot indeed. Zidhe Space Elves, Octopod
Aliens, Alien Greys, Automatons, Plants, Droids and other strange
things. The Retained Knights and Muster resided in the HOF range
while the Ion Age brewed in my mind. But they reside there no
longer!
The
initial codes here of IAF001,IAF002,IAF003,IAF004 are primarily
composed of these veteran miniatures which date back to the 1990's.
You can find them in the Prydian Army page of this website with large
images.
This is
how HOF got this vision of The Ion Age started. Next time its about
poses.
