Cranid Space Brains in Patrol Angis free article

“Look, I’m no ‘Vaulter. I just happen’ta be one of them lads who make sure them ships keep move’n ‘cross the stars right’n proper. But let me tell’s ya somethin’: Ya don’t need’a’be one of them “High’n Mighties” up on the bridge to know that the Dolo Cloud’s where sanity goes out the hatch and skip’s away in’ta the void… 

An example? Sure. Ya seem’ta have the stomach fer it. Let me send’ya over the wall... Let’s talk about those giant floating brains. 

Yeah, ya heard me: Giant. Floating. Brains…”

It is my pleasure to bring you the last news for the month from The Ion Age. It has been an excellent and fun month with three new Grey Adder APC's plus Midsummer Madness (ending this Friday at 9am GMT) as well as free rules for the new Adders in play and of course the month long offer of 20% off the mighty Tohlic Armoured Crawler and our new pack of 40mm Round Bases. All worth a look and a read. We end with a great free article by Aris Kolehmainen which brings you a new tongue in cheek faction for Patrol Angis..among the Dodo Clouds are something rather different. The Cranid Space Brains! Read on for more. 


Minds without Measure Craniads in the Ion Age rules by Aris Kolehmainen 
This six page free expansion article for Patrol Angis gives you game statistics and force buildings rules plus background for an alien civilisation in the grip of devolving. These aliens are floating space brains and a fine if rather odd enemy for your Prydian Army or Khanate Legions. Click HERE to download the article from our web hosting. We have many other free articles on our 15mm Publications page plus the game books and a starter game pack. If you wish to field the Cranids then you can with the miniatures for them from Alternative Armies now on our website in the Resource Wars page. Here are some pictures used in the article which were taken from our play testing of the new force. We faced off with the Cranids using a two mixed lances of Retained Knights, Grav Bikes and Battlesuits. Great! 





Many thanks for Reading and if you have not placed your order for the month with us as yet then now is the time as offers end soon and all our releases are made for June 2018. See you in July!

Ymel Sandworms in Patrol Angis free article plus those codes online

We are delighted at The Ion Age to now carry the two packs of Sandworms sculpted by Kieran Billings from Alternative Armies on our website too!  We have a pack of five Sandworms in five different poses and we have a single Greater Sandworm too (VNT codes).  They are resin single piece miniatures and we have an offer on them of 10% off normal price until the end of this month!  Lastly read on for details and for a link to the website plus a free article for playing them in Patrol Angis too.  Go HERE.


Choose your monsters!


VNT35 Greater Sandworm
Seen in stories and legends across the globe you must be fearful when the soil under your feet shivers at its approach.  The Greater Sandworm. This pack contains a single one piece high quality grey tone resin miniature which is around 50mm tall and works in multiple scales for any game setting. Supplied unpainted and without a base (shown on a 40mm round base) with no assembly required. Go HERE.  4.00GBP


VNT36 Sandworm Swarm
The brood, the young or just the typical these Sandworms hunt prey through the sands and dry river beds seeking by the vibration of footsteps.  This pack contains five different one piece high quality grey tone resin miniatures which are between 5mm and 20mm tall.  They are emerging from the soil and then attacking.  Supplied unpainted and without bases (shown on a 20mm round base) with no assembly required.  Go HERE.  5.00GBP


If you are a fan of Patrol Angis you are in for a treat now.  A new official free article for using the Sandworms in your games.  Click on the article to download from our website.  I had great fun writing it.  Enjoy!


On the edge of the Dolo Clouds beyond the Mim stellar system sits the dim star called Ymel around which circles one hot planet; Ymel Prime.  Chasing a solitary Dragon Ship a small contingent of Prydian Army troops crashes on the planet after successfully shooting down the Khanate enemy. Both sides are now trapped on Ymel Prime in the blazing sun.  A dead world...or is it?  Add Sandworms to Patrol Angis with prey seeking mechanics and random appearances.  Download now HERE.





Above are the four pictures which were taken in playtesting.  We played twice.  Once with Prydian Army Retained Knights and once with a mixed Khanate Force of a Pugnus and some Legionaries. Great fun!

The actual Ion Age releases for the month...Cold Climes Planetary Militia...will happen soon!

Thanks for Reading,

GBS
