Duxis Battlesuit (30mm) and Retained Knight (17mm) in 15mm Scale
Princess Cyon knows a lot of things.  I mean a lot.  It was lot before the Reord bonding and though it's even more now I can tell you that she came up with the Duxis MkI on her own.  Technics, Fabrication and Structure too.  All of it her idea.  To make her point she wore the prototype upon entering the Adden chambers and it made her point just beautifully to the Council.  We knew the Khanate had returned and we had the reports of the first contacts from Camarthen Prime but the Princess, she had her father's knowledge of the times of the first Khanate War.  We confirmed it later but in those chambers and on that day Princess Cyon said one word as she strode towards us footfalls heavy.  Encased in armour and over twelve feet tall she said 'Warlords' and then activated the holo emitters attached to the prototype's shell.  I think there was not a knight or baron in the place who did not shrink a little in their seats.  Out of thin air a monster appeared.  Like a Man in shape but larger; far larger.  She drew an energised blade longer than a Starvaulter is tall and conducted a mock melee with the projection...and she won.

Hours of discourse followed and all the while Daphne Cyon stood in her prototype Duxis Battlesuit and held sway.  The Warlords were more than a Retained Knight could cope with so make a Retained Knight more than they already were.  We did.  Now in Camarthen space we meet those hulking monsters with metal of our own.  Its a close fight but now its a fight we can and we will win!

Its time for more information on the first 2014 Early Supporter Offers. Its a firm favourite from the latter weeks of the Patrol Angis playtesting.  The 15mm strutter that is the Duxis Battlesuit for the Retained of the Prydian Army.  As I have said before in the Havelock concepting post on the blog I love concept art and this latest piece is another winner from Sam Croes.  Where the Havelock is the mobile gun platform for the Muster, designed to win a Civil War, the Duxis is a ballet dancer made to combat the giant infantry of the Shia Khan Empire.  Made to give a knight the size and power to take on a Warlord in one to one combat.

The Duxis is a modular miniature in 15mm scale cast in white metal.  Featuring a two part body, separate head and separate hands it has a high degree of flexibility in posing.  Assembled it stands about 30mm tall and you can just imagine the pilot nestled within it.  Great for the Ion Age but also for all 15mm sci-fi systems that use Battlesuits or their like.  Those who are fans of Retained Knights can see a scale shot above and those who bought one or more of the hundreds of Havelock Battlesuits out there in the world can see the two battlesuits next to each other for scale below.

    1. Am I not merciful. Place the order for bundle one and then email me with your choice of three weapons (and order number!) to replace melee options and I will see to it personally.

    1. The code sets that make up the bundles will all be released as separate packs once the ESO's are finished. IAF031 Pilot and Drone will be a pack of two miniatures with choice of singles or buy three and save 10% as normal.
