MOTH squad level rules event and 28mm platoon packs

We want to thank everyone who took part in our Double Reward Points event last week and congratulations to the two IonFans who got their points high enough to get the 9000 points Habitation Colony Bundle (worth 125.00GBP) for free!  Now we welcome you to our last event of the month and this time it is on our MOTH squad level skirmish rules as a digital download which is half price and also new extra value platoon packs of our 28mm Prydian Army and Shia Khan Empire range of miniatures.  Read on for details and half price ends midnight 31st August 2018.  Or right now go to our 28mm Publications Page and our 28mm Prydian Army and 28mm Khanate pages on the website.

There are several rule systems set in the space opera future of The Ion Age and among these is MOTH.  It is a print book and a digital download and we have taken fifty percent off the already twenty percent cheaper digital version of the book.  Here are some details and this system works in 28mm and 15mm too with a simple alteration.

“I told you men to stay in close.  Stay close to me at all times."

"Yes, your back seat air-raft driver of a vid trainer Majoris said to spread out and avoid bunching.  So that one little Anvil hit won’t turn you all into pureed Juktuk meat; so that you can operate well on your own in this war.  Well guess what privates he don’t know a damn thing about being here on Palakus six and he didn’t know a damn thing about command either."

"So you spread out, so you ain’t all in one close group by squad, sure enough one kaboom ain’t gonna get all of you but I will tell you what will.  The first time you all wander off and can’t hear what I am a bellowing since the com-net will be down, it always is, you can bet the foe will see it.  When you go up against those Canlastrian knights you will be cut down by a hurricane of 12.5mm rounds since you ain’t hearing what I am yelling ‘bout taking cover."

"Command is personal and its experience too.  The risk of being in a close group is more than offset by being able to hear, react and act as one.  Eyeball and Moth ain’t enough…takes joined up brains too.”

- Corp Terry Junos, 12th Regiment training grounds, Galtor, Palakus VI.

Moth lets you to play out anything from a small skirmish with half a dozen miniatures a side right up to a squad level battle with more than a hundred miniatures in play if you so desire. This is a game that is fast to learn, fast to play and great for younger novice players and experienced tacticians alike. Moth has a clever central mechanic based around the D10 (ten sided dice) and the adaptable Elan Rating system. This, when combined with fluid squad mechanic allows players to add to and remove from their squads in play. Plus unique features such as Break Shots, Degrade Fire, two action choice among many others makes the game flow excellently and combines tension with fun in battle. Use cover, avoid open ground, call on your fellows for support. Win the Prydian Civil War for your noble masters! 60 Pages, Colour Covers, ISBN.

Double Rewards Points on Orders Week

A whole week of extra value for customers of The Ion Age!  As outlined at the start of August on our blog we are taking a month off with no new releases while we work on projects and awesome new things for the autumn season.  It was requested by IonFans that we might run an offer which involved a chance to boost a customers Reward Points total with us.  Meaning more points in hand which could be then used in the future for discounts and free things too.  We thought this was a great idea and that now was the right time to do it.  So place your orders for an entire week until Friday 24th August 2018 getting your Reward Points as normal and we will manually add the same points which you earned with the order AGAIN to your points total with us.  Go HERE and see what you would like or read on for full details.

Here is how the offer works!

Until the end of Friday 24th August (when the offer image leaves the front page of the website) you will get DOUBLE Reward Points with us when you place an order.  There is no limit upon number of orders placed and you can redeem points as normal on your orders if you wish.  The difference is that within twenty four hours of your order being placed we will manually add points to your account with us.  The points added will be the SAME AGAIN as those earned on the order.  So in effect DOUBLE POINTS on orders.  I will be doing the manual addition myself.  It is a great opportunity to stock up on points for use later in the year when we have more new releases for you or to get yourself the Commander Murdo Taranis Tank or the Mega Hab Bundle of 15mm  terrain for free when you have enough Reward Points.  If you have any questions please do ask us on info@theionage.com and I will help you out.  It is a totally honest offer and some fun for you.  Go HERE for the website.

You can learn more about our Rewards Programme on our BLOG in an article which explains how it works and what you can redeem your points upon.  It is a free bonus from us for our customers and so far we have had nearly two million points redeemed.

We have many FREE DOWNLOADS on our website as well as our great 15mm scale tabletop game called Patrol Angis which you can see HERE as a game pack and print books plus digital downloads of the books too.

We have a huge selection of 15mm scale space opera science fiction miniatures and each of our packs contains only one of each pose of figure plus you can select any miniature from any pack as a single or buy three packs and save 10% on screen.  Just click on the white box on each product page for all the options. 

Our special offer for the month is 50% off our Smashed Hab Dome.  See it here in our 15mm Terrain Range.  Offer ends 1st September 2018.

Thanks for your time and enjoy the offer!

Or to stack points to get a 10%, 15% or even 20% discount on a future order (including sweet brand new releases at that time).Click on the orange box bottom middle of the website screen for full details of Reward Points.  We will also have a 28mm scale event centred around the MOTH skirmish game system towards months end which will include the book in print and as a digital download plus platoon bundles.  Keep an eye out for these news items during August.

IAF015J Smashed Hab Dome

Down but not out! This Hab Dome is battered and bruised perhaps from Marcher Baron bombardment or Khanate Legion caresses but its still standing. Cracked open like an egg with one side totally intact and then other reduced to rubble the top of the dome has slid down but its still got an intact mounting point for a turret top of your choice. This release is from a great number of world wide requests for something in between an intact and a totally destroyed structure. A high quality grey tone resin one piece casting which is 65mm wide and 20mm to 30mm tall with a high degree of external and internal detailing. It fits in well with the rest of the terrain range from the Ion Age. Suitable for use in any science fiction setting. Go HERE for our Terrain range in 15mm scale.

You can read all about our Rewards Programme on our BLOG where the system and what you can get is laid out in detail.

We have an extensive 28mm scale range of miniatures for the Prydian Army and the Shia Khan Empire as well as rule systems for open table or grid based intense combat in that scale and close in with no vehicles and more characterisation when compared to Patrol Angis.  Look late on this month for a great offer.
