Retained Sniper - IMP09 Free Miniature for May 2014


"Let's have a Retained Knight for May.  Something useful in a typical Lance of troops with a special role thats common for The Ion Age.  Not an officer, not female, not a special weapon.  A sniper.  That's what we want this time!"

Lay down and keep to cover for even in the far future the role of a sniper is a neccessary one for a Retained Knight.  Sculpted by Eli Ardnt the fellow who runs Loud Ninja Games over on 15mm.co.uk our sister site this is May 2014's free miniature in all orders.  Armed with an Angis 12.5mm AP Rifle and covered by a camo net this knight is a fine addition to any Prydian Army force.

The Retained Sniper is the white metal 15mm miniature in the above image and until 1st June 2014 its FREE in each and every order placed with us at the rate of one per order placed. After that date it will be retired from free and replaced by the next free miniature. Of course you earn reward points on all orders too through your account.  We realise that some of you may wish to purchase the currently free miniature to get multiples of it without placing a lot of orders so you can do just that.  Visit this page on the website for the miniature at a fair price.  Yours for the next thirty days and then retired for the moment.
There is a growing page on the Ion Age website where the current and all former IMP series free miniatures are shown so that you can see what came before.  Enjoy and go HERE.

  2. Good idea, a longer sniper rifle would have been good.

    1. Thanks Dan. We considered it but space opera operates on its own and his rifle is a 12.5mm AP with enough integral helm optics and sensors to do the job. Conversions are as always a possibility too. GBS
