New Releases! Two Khanate Canno AFVs plus Year Four Collection and total Monthly Collection

“It took only six minutes for the defences at Batarka Ridge to fall to the Khanate when the Styx Legion advanced upon them.  Elements of the 208th Sigil had deployed among the SEORC structures and were manning not only the turrets on those domes and towers but also Amber platforms and Anvil 888 launchers.  We had Two dozen Mullo AFV's with the regiment as well as all our own lighter vehicles.  We had over a hundred Steornede Battlesuits as well as five thousand troopers.  That morning we had chopped up several waves of Maligs as they came up the ridge and detonated their tanks too.  No problem.  When the Legionaries arrived they just waited.  No attack.  Sure they took some shots at us and we at them but they just waited.  They were waiting for their bloody heavy armour.  Back then we had never seen designation Canno before; but we learned fast.  We took out the Pugnus to the fore as they rolled on up and we lost troopers and battlesuits doing it.  But they were just a screen as a line of Canno AFV's sat back and opened up with a bombardment of mortar rounds.  The whole place was torn up real fast and there was nothing we could do.  The Mullo's we sent out to deal with the mortars were slagged by those Atomic Destabilisers on the other Canno in the line.  Bloody scary those Banshees.  The whole Batarka site was levelled and we made it out in what Hazelwurms and other transport had survived.  We left a lot behind for the Legionaries to my shame.  Their advance continues.  How the hell are we going to stop them?”

August 2017 marks the end of the monthly free miniature programme which ran at The Ion Age for four years.  You can read about this and our plan HERE on the blog in deeper detail but in essence it means that the these are the last IMP releases for monthlies.  So you can pick up the whole Year Four Collection or pick from it or if you are new to The Ion Age (as many are) you can get all forty eight of these amazing hand sculpted 15mm figures in one bumper pack.  Go HERE for the Yearly Collection.

YOC4 Year Four Collection

Gathered together as a set are the twelve 15mm scale monthly miniatures from August 2016 to August 2017 which you can get as a pack or select singles from for your collection.  Useful and sometimes odd these personalities fit right into The Ion Age or into any 15mm scale science fiction setting. They are in numerical order:  IMP37 Male Adventurer, IMP38 Prang Ambassador, IMP39 Grim Reaperbot, IMP40 Rudolph Reindeer Bot, IMP41 Baron McCauld, IMP42 Commander Gongji, IMP43 Female Muster Banner Bearer, IMP44 Malig Egg Thief, IMP45 Female Khanate Legionary, IMP46 Female Retained Knight Errant, IMP47 Happy Burger Bin Bot and IMP48 Baroness Julanne of Canlaster.

YOC5 The Whole Monthly Collection 48

For four years from August 2013 to August 2017 every month The Ion Age created and gave away free a monthly miniature in the IMP series.  All in all there are forty eight different personality 15mm scale miniatures taken from armies, civilian and more in our game world background.  Excellent fun and now you can purchase all of them in one bumper pack in one place.  If you wish to get single miniatures from the 48 please refer to the Year One, Year Two, Year Three and Year Four collections.  If you are new to The Ion Age then get yourself what is likely to have been the most fun experiment done in 15mm space opera science fiction wargaming.  Go HERE.

We hope that you have found these new releases great fun and we will be back later in September with the leading edge of the massive expansion we spoke about.  As always I am so grateful to all of your who allow us to make a living in wargaming.  Enjoy!
