IAF165 Desteria Demi Charlie close combat heavy knights now released!

Our release for this month is now online!  A brand new pack of five Desteria Knights which you can use in Patrol Angis to break up stubborn resistance.  We now have more than twenty different Desteria for you to choose from.  Remember this month we have taken 15% off every single Taranis Main Battle Tank which ends 1st March.  Go HERE or read on for more.

“MkII Noblesse Powered Armour. Stopping short of actually building armour that must be piloted rather than worn the awesome Noblesse pattern is worn by Desteria Knights into the thick of battle. Fully sealed titanium alloy with an average of 27mm thickness across the body Noblesse makes use of the Chameleon Circuit and also uses the Celo 9 ultra thin layer of insta-nate ablative shell designed to shatter when impacted by enemy fire. This additional layer of protection along with paldrons of re-enforced titanium makes Noblesse three times more protective than MkV Alwite. Some Desteria fit the large Delver X jump jets to their armour while others opt for the cabled generator cells for on board energy based weapons such as the Valerin laser. All Noblesse armour features the flexible manipulator Impact Fist which can perform delicate tasks as well as smashing up to one foot of rubbacrete. Noblesse carries a built in primary weapon on one arm with large sealed ammunition reserves.” 
Academy Auto-Trainer Series 21, New Glastonbury, 4321IC

***Patrol: Angis – 2nd Annual Tournament***
The galaxy, like a great celestial fortress, is under-siege on all sides. The Khanate Empire has breached the Matter Gateway and have begun true occupation, the Xin have become even more aggressive in their acquisitions of trade and artefacts, the Prang raid planets with even greater regularity, and at the centre of the chaos, the Throne of Prydia valiantly defends humanity. Welcome to the Ion Age - Patrol: Angis

For this year's force building rules, and scenario details, Download them HERE courtesy of the organisers.


There will be some surprises on the day including a specially created diorama and an actual Portable Castle in play on the table.  These are top secret just now but I hope after the event to be able to share some pictures and an account of the day.

Thanks for reading and if you have any questions just contact us on info@theionage.com and I will do my best to assist you.
