Corbal Deployable Hardpoint Mobile by Allison M

Back in September 2014 I saw something online that make me laugh out loud and that was blogger and hobbyist Allison M's take on the IAF041 Corbal Deployable Hardpoint and making it mobile. Have a look at the previous posting before reading on here. Well Allison M has finished his conversion and painted it up and it looks awesome!  Here is the text and images from his blog post and a link to it.  Enjoy!

Well, it's done!  This is definitely the biggest project I've done in ages, and although it proceeded painfully slowly at times I have to say I'm really happy with how it turned out.  I went with a white/colour accent scheme because I rather liked the white/red studio paint job on the Ion Age website, and frankly, because it's not too hard to paint a lot of white this way.  Also, I think camouflaging something like a four-storey-tall walking gun tower would be kind of pointless, especially if you want to use it as a "terror weapon".

(Now that I look at it all finished up it does have more than a passing resemblance to a giant walking Dalek... but that's not really a bad thing.)

The two pictures above show 15mm miniatures for scale against this monster and the Duxis Drone from our range giving morale support including pointing out that it has some sticky Human's stuck to its foot!

Here is the LINK to the original blog post.

Well done Allison M.  You did it as you said you would.

IAF044, IAF043, IAF070 Habitation Complex codes released!

"Early on in the initial expansion of Humanity back to the stars within the Prydian Precinct it was noted that although large cities could be built given time in the short term a need was logged for structures which could cope with variable terrain and planetary conditions. Designing such structures was beyond the abilities of all but the core systems who turned to the pioneers who created the ubiquitous Rubbacrete and Golglass. These pioneers created materials which revolutionised construction and brought about massive improvement in lives all across the Precinct; The Seorc Compono Guild. 

Seorc Compono Guild (SCG) brought their finest minds to focus on the challenge and created one of the miracles of the century the Habitation Dome Riser System (HDRS). The HDRS would be standardised and shipped aboard vessels heading off world anywhere in the Precinct where they could quickly accommodate a sizeable population. It would be more than housing though as the HDRS featured additional modules which could expand the living area and turret or assembly mounts for specialised purposes. These purposes varied but typically they included self defence, fortification, repulsar platform landing pads, spire communications, hurwent shielding and power generation. Added to this was a capacity for landing aircraft such as the Skylark and hardpoints that would act as fortifications. These allowed corrals to be planned for protecting ground vehicles such as the Adder and Mullo series. A larger and stronger built command dome was fabricated to act as a centre point in the larger HDRS settlements from where all activities could be directed. Alongside this were a series of separate spires each with a purpose such as fabrication or power generation that could be dropped easily alongside HDRS modules. 

The HRDS can be found on more than fifty planets and countless vacuum environments (it is a pressurised structure system) and is utilised by everyone from the Prydian Army to the lowest of the Marcher Barons and civilian authorities too. Single Hab Domes to small groups and hard points right up a city of a hundred thousand people all in HRDS towers. These larger settlements make great use of connecting corridors which can allow easy access to each point in the settlement without having to venture outside. In some locales they never got around to replacing them before the Civil War began. Camarthan Prime was one of those places."

Canlasterian Knights attack Prydian Complex

Canlasterian Attack!

The League of Canlaster has sent a strike force of Retained Knights with light vehicle and air support to destroy the Habitation Complex being used by the Prydian Army as a forward operating base inside Canlastrian territory. With the Hurwent generators destroyed the energy shield protecting the complex is down and several structures have already been smashed. While re-enforcements are on their way the only troops which can defend the complex right now is a platoon of Muster Patrol and a pair of Adder Combat Lifters along with the sentry gun and missile pod of the complex itself. There is also a trio of Prydian Nobles who were carrying out an inspection of the complex and are now going to match their Octo Powered Swords and Carnwennan Pistols against the Angis Rifles of the Canlastrian Retained. So in other words its a pretty normal day during the Prydian Civil War.

Advancing to the Complex Canlasterian Retained and Adder Support

Muster Patrol hurry back to assist the Complex

Aside from the lovely scenic shots which we adore taking...frankly we need more space since the range has grown past the six foot we allocated, I wanted to remind you all that the current early supporter offers and bundles are nearly finished. You have until Friday 28th November at noon GMT to place your order for worldwide shipping saving 10% off the eleven new 15mm Terrain pieces and 20% (or more) off three bundled complete settlements. 

While you can look at previous blog posts HERE and HERE you are best to head straight to the TERRAIN PAGE and the EARLY SUPPORTER PAGE to see the products on our website. Follow the links choose your items, get IMP15 Witch Knight free in every order. Finally remember that when you place or have placed an order with us you have a customer account and all orders earn you Reward Points which can be used in future orders for free items and or discounts! Now that is a whole load of awesome! 

As an update we have had a good number of orders taking the bundles and new faces too. One order simply staggered us by its size and I am thinking of doing a special blog post on it in the near future. The most popular new item is actually the Command Dome which surprised me since I had thought it would be the straight or double length straight connector corridors. We have also had to replace the six shooter Hab Dome mold as well...again. IMP15 Witch Knight is seeing on average an additional one to the free one included being ordered. By the time we work up to the Year Two Collection we might be well known as super generous. 

Thanks for Reading.

IAF060 Muster 1st Platoon Command released!

The standard formation Muster Platoon is a very fluid and task possible entity.  This has been proved in dozens of localised conflicts and also in the Civil War too.  While we are not born to the noble ranks of the Retained or the lofty idealism of the Starvaulters we have our own elan, our own pride in our skills and our martial prowess.  During your training you will learn this well.  After you have earned your place in the ranks you will be assigned to a Platoon within your Regiment.  Why a Platoon and not a Squad?  The Platoon is the instrument of our war and our way of winning that war whither its against Yordan or Canlaster or if you are unlucky the alien horde. Our armour gives us some protection, certainly more than the low impact armour of the planet bound militia's, but not enough to slug it out with knights.  The Platoon gets us around this and means that your Moth 6 Rifles and Anvil 888's can deal out some real damage.

Twenty two soldiers in a Platoon and from there its up to your Majoris how they use you.  Against tough enemies the Platoon would divide into two squads of ten and a command stick of two.  Able to deliver concentrated fire power on a target and secure in numbers.  When facing weaker foes the Platoon might well divide into five fire-teams of four each and a command stick of two.  Spread out and able to cover a lot of angles at the same time.  But in some cases, in places where assault from much heavier forces is expected the Platoon can become a 'Pyre' breaking up into eleven sticks of two ready to light it up from anywhere.

So the Platoon is your best friend, your mother, your home.  You will be one platoon among a hundred most of time maybe more at times but at all times it is the troopers in your own Platoon that will save your life and take the lives of the enemy.  Remember that and your military career will be all the better.

Academy Auto-Trainer Series 52, New Glastonbury, 4335IC

IAF060 Muster 1st Platoon Command

Information Burst

November is here and that means several things.  Firstly that there is a brand new and frankly space opera awesome free monthly miniature in the form of IMP15 Witch Knight which is included at the rate of one per order placed with us automatically.  You can also buy it on its own too during this month.  She is a lovely miniature and deserves a place in your collection if you like ladies of the evening shall we say.  Next we have our brand new release giving command to the Muster forces of the Prydian Army and the Marcher Barons too.  Greatly requested and now delivered to all IonFans across the world.  Moving on we will be having an Early Supporter Offer along with a massive new group of releases in November.  These will be previewed in a week's time and at the moment all I will say is that these new codes are all in our terrain range and will make owners of Hab Domes really happy.  Lastly remember that by placing an order with us you will sign up for an account with the website and that means you get Reward Points in all purchases (plus the monthly free miniature). These points can be used any time to get free products and discounts on orders.

Page Search Options Upgraded on our Website

In response to customers questions and requests we have upgraded the page search options on The Ion Age website.  Simply put it means that when you are on, for example, the 15mm Prydian Army page you can either browse or use the top right box for a drop down menu to refine your view of the page.  Refine it to only show Retained Knights or only Vehicles or only Command.  The box has 'view all items' as the default setting.

Since the 15mm range has grown massively this request now made sense.  I myself actually had to be reminded that we are nearing sixty IAF codes near two hundred different miniatures and models.  So enjoy and have a look.  Try it out on the 15mm Prydian Army page linked in this post.

Lastly the 15% promo discount on the new Espaten Portable Weapon Platforms and their gun crews and motive systems lasts only until Thursday of this week so if you want in on it now is the time.

Not really the usually exciting blog post but important non the less.  Why the shipping image at the top?  Well we are also asked a lot what our shipping rates are.  

Thanks for Reading.
