Free expansion to The Khanate Return book with additional general and client race rules

“The Shia Khan Empire favours energy based weapons over those using projectiles as ammunition for the majority of its Legions.  While other instructional vids will be dealing with the Maia and Juno classes of weapons, our subject here is the designated Jupiter series of plasmatic weapons, primarily the Jupiter 46mm Plasma Rifle.  The Jupiter Plasma Rifle is a heavy infantry weapon in the weight brand of some sixteen kilograms for the gun itself and another twenty kilograms for the linked power supply.  It has been observed in use by two alien soldiers with one manning the weapon and the other handling the power supply and ensuring function.  As such it is not the most mobile of infantry carried weapons.  However using dedicated power supplies within their Segmentum pattern armour along with enhanced strength, Nox troopers can make use of the Jupiter on their own, both wielding and charging it themselves.  Khanate plasmastic weapons use a similar technology to our own which we estimate is some century and a half more advanced with a superior discharge and kill potential in infantry sized deployments.  A chamber within the Jupiter Rifle with a spherical size of 46mm across is superheated and injected with a tiny amount of material which is then accelerated from the barrel using an array of linear magnets.  The resultant projected blast of plasma can be accurately aimed at moderate to long ranges superior to our Hermit class.  We have only estimates of usage duration that a typical power supply linked will allow for twenty shots before significant charging is required or supply switched.  Battlefield reports and vid feed show Jupiter shots penetrating Alwite Powered Armour with relative ease and survival rates from injury by Jupiter Plasma Rifles are very low.  Commanders in the field recommend the destruction of captured Khanate weapons and power packs as instances of booby trapping and remote overcharge and detonation are common.”

It is my great pleasure to present for free download a brand new six page article written by Aris Kolehmainen and myself and representing Aris biggest work in The Ion Age thus far; an expansion to the Shia Khan Empire.  This additional game content slots right into IAB03 The Khanate Return book which you can have in print or as a paid digital download putting the legions into your games of Patrol Angis.  To see all the free files go HERE or for the Khanate army see HERE for troops and HERE for vehicles.  Read on for more!

Client Races and Skills for the Khanate Empire

A six page free article which gives you additional rules for use in Patrol Angis for both the client races (Maligs, Nox, Beotan and others) as well as a list of general skills, gear and traits which can be used by all troop types.  A great resource written by  Aris Kolehmainen which adds right into (from page 29 onwards) IAB03 The Khanate Return.  To download it from our website CLICK HERE.

The Khanate Army is composed of endless troops who pour from the Matter Gateway in the Camarthen star system.  The main military structure of the Khanate is the Legion.  Each legion has thousands of troops who are in the main Legionaries in their distinctive reflective glimmer suits and breather helms, with Pioneers with extra armour but there are also the Nox, power armoured elite legionaries, Warlords who are huge brutes with massive firepower and Psycoborgs robotic weapons of terror.  There are also the verminous Maligs who swarm to the command of the Legion and are used as cannon fodder and to tie down human troops The Betrayers who are humans coerced or mind wiped into fighting for the Khanate.  Then the Beotans who are savage lycanthrope warriors used for cold climes and city fighting. Legion uniforms are typically single colour suits such as the red of the Styx Legion or the green of the Medusa Legion with a black or white helmet.  Officers sometimes have elaborate golden weave and cloaks. 

There is a great variety of miniatures in this army which can be had by the pack or single poses within packs.  See them all HERE.  We also have a range of vehicles for the this army which are exotic and centred around rolling tanks; see them HERE.

Now on and until 9am GMT Tuesday 27th November there is a Black Friday Season event here at The Ion Age.  Done in conjunction with our sister site Alternative Armies we have automatic Free Worldwide Shipping on all orders over 15GBP of product placed in the cart (you need do nothing but add to cart but please note tracked shipping remains a flat 10GBP charge to select) and we have brand new releases in the form of the mighty Magogs; three huge mecha in 15mm scale.  

You might have seen the the Magogs on our BLOG already but these mighty war machines have offers on them during the event. Go HERE for the website.

This is our last news for the month.  We will be presenting a free article in December giving you more information and images of the Magogs in the field along with Patrol Angis rules.  We will also have our last release of 2018 too and it will be full of pomp for sure!

Thank you for reading,

PIA008 Uniforms of the Khanate poster and download released!

The first of two releases this February 2018 sees us add to our poster print collection at The Ion Age with an eighth A3 high quality print for your wall. Not many wargame brands make such posters and we do it purely for the love of it putting them on our own walls first.  After the release of the third book in the Patrol Angis series IAB03 The Khanate Return there was interest in getting a better notion of what the colours of the Shia Khan Empire were when it came to the Legions assaulting Mankind.  I worked with Aris and together we created this new poster.  We present PIA008 Uniforms of the Khanate as an A3 Poster and as a Digital Download.  See all our posters HERE or read on for more. 

PIA008 Uniforms of the Khanate

From the Matter Gateway come the alien legions of the Khanate in vast numbers. This poster gives you the uniforms of the prime dozen and one Legions to use on your figures or just to put on your wall for inspiration as you plan your games. Digitally drawn by Aris Kolehmainen this poster print was made locally here in Scotland on high quality 200gsm paper using rich inks. Its a premium product to grace your wargaming walls with. Bare or in a frame. Supplied in a purpose designed postal mailing tube. The image is exactly A3 size.  Here is a list of the uniforms on the poster by Legion. 1. Styx Legion 2. Medusa Legion 3. Priam Legion 4. Venom Legion 5. Scylla Legion 6. Cyclopes Legion 7. Abyss Legion 8. Arae Legion 9. Tartarus Legion 10. Empusa Legion 11. Ladon Legion 12. Hades Legion 13. Spinx Legion.

We have seven other posters in our print range with some of them also being offered as digital downloads.  Here are their details with a look at each of them.

PIA007 Prydian Precinct Starmap

A thousand years before the outbreak of the civil war that would pull Prydian space apart the last Khanate war forced the detonation of a universal potent bomb.  This bomb called the 'Aldan Crucible' ended the Shia Khan incursion in this part of the galaxy by destroying not only their Matter Gateway but also the entire Aldan stellar system.  In the dark centuries that followed the detonation savage and exotic Dolorous Clouds formed across Prydian space which hid entire star systems and made travel in or near them very dangerous indeed.   This star map shows more than one hundred stellar systems as spoken of in our titles as well as the regions held by the League of Canlaster and the League of Yordan in the pivotal year of 4330 IC.  Great for your wall and for planning your campaigns in The Ion Age. A3 Digitally drawn by our lead designer Sam Croes.  

PIA006 Eat at Happy Burger

More than three hundred million cans of Robo Cola are sold across the Precinct every single day and their taste goes perfectly with the 'Meat-tay-eat' burgers sold alongside them. Taste alone makes this possible with the people of a thousand cities flocking to the booths and eateries for treats. Taste is backed up with billions of posters put up everywhere there is a space. From the transit lanes to the agri-zones as well as spaceports and hospitals these posters promote Happy Burger. They can also be bought for your own hab walls for a modest fee from behind the counter. Just as your server. A3 Digitally drawn by our lead designer Sam Croes.

PIA005 Callsign Taranis Cover Art

Majesty and sheer ruddy terror is what I think of when I see those Taranis tanks. Lethal instruments of war advancing over broken rocky ground while behind them the torn remains of their last enemies are burning. This is how I see the cover of Callsign Taranis.  A3 and digitally drawn by our lead designer Sam Croes.

PIA004 Patrol Angis Cover Art

Atop a downed Battlesuit the heroes gather as the foes circle all around. Their weapons make fire to the fore as behind a rebelling city is lit aflame by the laser bombardment of a low floating starship. This is how I see the cover of Patrol Angis. A3 and digitally drawn by our lead designer Sam Croes.

PIA003 Uniforms of the Prydian Precinct

From the Prydian Army to the Leagues of Yordan and Canlaster as well as system defence and mercenary companies too this poster gives you all their uniforms to use on your figures or just to put on your wall for inspiration as you plan your games. Digitally drawn by Aris Kolehmainen. Here is a list of the uniforms on the poster. Some of these feature in Patrol Angis and in Callsign Taranis while others will fight the good fight in forthcoming articles and books: 1. Prydian Army 2. League of Canlaster 3. League of Yordan 4. The Quarrel Company 5. Barony of Castella 6. The Hotspurs Company 7. The Merfold Company 8. Barony of Malmesbury 9. League of Tilbury 10. The Rheged Company 11. The Sein Company 12. The Bezant Company 13. Fauconbergs Raiders 14. De Vere's Company 15. The Chard 16. Barony of Caerwent 17. The Gryllus Company  18. Barony of Carhaix  19. Barony of Messena 20. The Geolu Company 21.

The Lindworm 30. The Naranga Company.

PIA002 Matter Gateway Nox

Hugo Sevaris was a traitor to all Mankind for he re-opened a Matter Gateway and gave the Shia Khan Empire access to Prydian space once more.  From the shimmering purple haze of the gateway came the Nox.  Fear them for they are the night and the death among us now... A3 and digitally drawn by our lead designer Sam Croes.  The cover of IAB03 The Khanate Return.

PIA001 Ylona of Prydia

At the Zanzibar Breakers conflict a hero was found.  Ylona defeated scores of foes and eventually led to the defeat of Maligar Hanz.  Her Tumbler 9mm Mpi is a prized artefact in the stores of the 414th Regiment of Prydia.  She now continues the good fight on Camarthan Prime against the Khanate. A3 and digitally drawn by our lead designer Sam Croes.

Go HERE for the poster collection.

Later this month we will be releasing again and that release will see the completion of the Beotan Ordos with a new pack and a new platoon with unique miniature included free.  But more on that in a couple of weeks.

The Medusa Legion of the Khanate by Aris Kolehmainen

“It is the Legion that is the standard fighting formation of the Khanate Empire. Humanity has little knowledge of the languages used by the races of the Khan and has assigned the term ‘Legion’ to the enemy. There are a great many different Legions and each is given a different name typically from ancient mythology such as the Styx, Medusa, Priam, Venom, Scylla and Cyclopes Legions. This is down to the basic lack of identification than Prydian troops have with this alien enemy but it works well. Different uniforms and colours on roughly standardised armour and weapons mark out Legions. Some Legions like the infamous Styx have multiple sub-legions within themselves while others seem to be one force only. All Legions seem to number around five to six thousand alien troops along with supporting vehicles regardless of being a single or sub-legion.

Legionaries are the centre of all thus far encountered Legions and these tall and graceful alien soldiers can also be classed as more heavily armoured Pioneers who undertake close in combat. It is surmised that the ultimate embodiment of a Legionary is a Nox powered armoured soldier though these are present in lesser numbers. There are many other ‘client’ or slave races arranged around the core of each Legion including Maligs, Warlords, Psycoborgs, Beotans, Pertinax and Saurad. This seems dependant upon the environment being fought over with urban environments featuring more Maligs and Psycoborgs for instance. It is important to state that Maligs seem to be herded but not attached directly to a Legion and can number many additional thousands.”  - Extract from IAB03 The Khanate Returns.

It is my great pleasure to present these images from the 15mm Ion Age collection of long time Patrol Angis player Aris Kolehmainen.  The Legionaries and others of the fabled and feared Medusa Legion.  While our own official uniform for all Shia Khan codes is that of the Styx Legion in red and black that was not what Aris desired and instead inspired by The Khanate Returns book where the Empire is details for play in Patrol Angis sought out the colours of another legion; the Medusa Legion.  Grey, Light Green and Purples make up the Medusa Legion uniform.  

The Medusa Legion is not the largest of the Khanate formations which came through the Matter Gateway on Camarthen Prime but it is one with a reputation.  Specialising in urban warfare the legionaries of the Medusa freeze up whole zones of meta city sprawl with assault tesserans of Pioneers and of suicidal client races.  They also make great use of Psycoborgs and other automated troops which patrol deep into abandoned blocks and boulevards seeking out residual fire-teams of Planetary Militia or Muster.  A more exotic unit fielded in urban areas instead of Pugnus and Sphera rolling armour are modified and enlarged Psycoborgs which are a match for the Afara Striders of the Prydian Army.  

I have put links to codes in the pictures after each photo but a special mention of these larger automated units.  These are found in the HOF 15mm Science Fiction Range at Alternative Armies as HOF16 and HOF17 Giant Mechanoids.  I have added them to the Resource Wars page of The Ion Age website and they are in stock alongside the other HOF codes we have such as Charger APC's and Maginot Gun Turret plus Sandworms.  An interesting side note for those who have been with Alternative Armies for a long time the Giant Mechanoids are actually the original Psychoborgs from the 28mm Firefight range of the early 1990's.  Full circle!

If you fancy getting into Patrol Angis which is our 15mm scale fast paced skirmish system you can do so HERE.  We have a starter game pack which contains the core book plus a lot of miniatures and bases with a saving.  We have three books in print or as digital downloads and they can be had as saver bundles as well.

My thanks for Aris for supplying the pictures of his collection to use.

IAFP08 Nox Ordos 15mm platoon pack released!

The biggest and most bad ass armoured infantry of the Shia Khan Empire now have their own 'Ordos', a platoon pack, which contains a full force of these miniatures!  Each Nox stands about 20mm tall and the platoon pack contains fifteen figures and an extra special Nox which is only in the pack and is added free!  Go HERE or read on for more information.

The Shia Khan uses technology that is more advanced that our own, that is sure.  Though many of its troops are apparently slaves and are relatively poorly armoured and armed with Malig and Betrayers being more in common with our Planetary Militia and Muster regiments and their Legionaries a match for our Muster and Retained ranks there are troops evidently which are not expendable slaves.  We speak here of the elite formations of a Legion and more specifically the Nox.  The technology involved in the Jupiter series of plasmastic weapons is in our estimate a century or so beyond our own best efforts (see Academy Auto-Trainer Series 16) but the design contained within the Nox Segmentum pattern powered armour is much beyond that.  Other Khanate Troops use the weapons that Nox carry though they operate in teams of two rather than a Nox which can wield the weapon alone.  However within the sphere of the Legion itself and not speaking of Psychoborgs and other specialised threats it is the Segmentum pattern armour which has baffled us.  Only a handful of Nox have been captured and none of them alive due to what we think is a flesh dissolving gas which is triggered if their armour is opened without the right seal codes.  This gas also corrodes the internal fittings of the armour to the point that only rudimentary inspections can be made.  In fact we have lost three expert fabricators to booby trapped Segmentum suits with imploder bombs.  Information that is known consists of the following.  Firstly the alloys used in the Segmentum's construction cannot be determined but do contain titanium as a stabiliser with a resulting hardness some third better than Alwite and on par with Noblesse series used by Desteria Knights despite being thinner.  Secondly the internal power system of Segmentum is much more efficient as the self fuelling batteries use technology similar to ours but are nearly half the size and also provide the charge for carried weapons such as plasma and laser system whereas our own Alwite powered armour cannot do this.  Thirdly the armour seems to fill with a thick black liquid when sealed which cushions impacts and trauma more effectively that the padding and gel layers in Alwite.  Lastly and most troubling are the seemingly standardised Cynue ports in the neck and chest sections of Segmentum powered armour. While such technology is rightly banned in the Prydian Precinct after the tragedy of the Gurtan Activation the Khanate seem to give artificial intelligence assistance to Nox in combat.  Research continues and we do hope a break through will be reached.

Academy Auto-Trainer Series 17, New Glastonbury, 4332IC

IAFP08 Nox Ordos

This platoon pack gives you a full Ordos (a platoon or force in Patrol Angis) of the heaviest power armoured warriors of the Khanate as well as a unique miniature only found in this code.  Fifteen different poses of miniature which are taken from these pack codes:  IAF052 Nox Demos (Jupiter Plasma Rifles), IAF051 Nox Demos (Janus Blastguns) and IAF062 Nox Command Demos.  On top of this you get the unique miniature which is a Nox lesser officer bare headed with a powered blade and Maia Mpi.  This miniature is found only in this platoon pack and what is more its totally free as part of the pack.  Excellent!   As always this code can be bought as a pack or select the three packs and save 10% option on the page. Price 15.00GBP per pack.  Go HERE.

You can find the rest of the Khanate Empire in 15mm scale on our website HERE including other Nox, the Legionaries, Warlords and of course the verminous Malig Space Goblins too.  Players of Patrol Angis can download a free PDF for using the Khanate in the game from our Drop Box by clicking HERE.  To see all articles on the great free resource that is The Ion Age blog click HERE to go to a refined post search for Nox on the blog.

As you can see Nox are much larger and bulkier than Muster (next to a Canlastrian Musterman above) or Retained Knights.  They are on a size parallel to Desteria Knights the largest Human knights of Prydia and they are very tough indeed. Each miniature is about 20mm tall.

Now I know many of you already own our 15mm Nox and because of that there is an offer this month where when you place an order for any products if you wish to get the unique Nox Officer from the platoon pack INSTEAD of your free IMP38 Male Adventurer you can!  Just email info@theionage.com title it with your order number and then 'please give me Nox Officer rather than IMP38' and we will do the rest.  Excellent!

Information Burst!

This month every order gets IMP38 Male Adventurer free automatically. He is a very versatile character who fits into any setting as a bounty hunter, a mercenary, a guard or anything else you would like.  Standing 16mm tall and wearing rigid body armour while holding a large calibre semi-automatic Tumbler machine pistol and a sword he is a capable fellow.  Withdrawn when the month ends and replaced (he will appear next summer once more as part of the Year Four collection).   A big event will happen in the middle of the month with the release of Patrol Angis and Callsign Taranis as paid for PDF download books on our website!  Full news on this at the time. Our other and last release of the month will be a civilian pack into the Ion Age Universe range later in October.

Lastly we have a new monthly special...this time on one of the supporting packs for our mighty Taranis tanks..drones...we have 25% off the IAF082 Taranis Repulsar Drones for the whole month. The offer is now live and you can see more of these human sized robots by clicking through.

Year Three Begins!  Now that our third year of The Ion Age is at a close its time to release the twelve monthly free miniatures as set which can be bought as a set or as singles.  From September 2015 to August 2016 each of the IMF 15mm scale code monthly free were given away with all orders month by month.

IMP26 Female Nox Trooper free miniature for October 2015!

“What I remember were her eyes.  Not her height nor her blood red armour.  Not even the brilliant white of her hair tied up upon her head and the points of her ears.  I saw her for but a moment but it is burned into my mind just as the screams of my fellow knights are in the midst of that battle.  We had cleared the area and had in fact swept it twice but the glimmer suite of the Segmentum armour and the skill of our foes had kept them hidden from us until we through ourselves safe.  Beams and blasts shattered my lance and I fell wounded in both legs.  They must have thought me dead for I thought it myself when the Nox stood over me and removed her helm.  Her eyes violet and black and without compassion or pity.  Perhaps she honoured me, perhaps time was short, perhaps she just wanted to see the sky after days closed up.  I know not.  Beauty.  Beauty and Death are the Nox.”

Jupon Tarl Manelle, 68th Regiment, Ignut Refinery Complex, Camarthen Prime, 4331IC.

Welcome to the month that promises to be a total score for fans of the Ion Age and of damn fine 15mm armour in the form of main battle tanks as well.  October 2015 for us presents the next of our monthly free miniatures IMP26 Female Nox Trooper. For the whole of October this 15mm miniature is automatically put into every order at the rate of one per order regardless of order value.  It can also be bought in any amount on the monthly IMP page of the website for this month only too before being withdrawn on the first of next month.  

The Nox are the heavy hitters of the Shia Khan Empire's infantry and are more than a match for a Retained Knight on a one to one basis.  Given the job of smashing a hole in the formations of enemies across the galaxy the Nox carry weapons to use that are typically the support role of two Legionaries with one acting as the gunner and the other as the loader or energy pack carrier.  We have three packs of Nox two of troopers and a command pack too.  You can see them HERE.  This free miniature makes a perfect addition to them. Wearing Segmentum powered armour this female alien trooper has a Hydra Laser Shotgun and her helm under her arm.  The miniature is one piece in white metal and stands approx 19mm tall. A great leader for your force or character.

A scale comparison shot with a Planetary Militia Trooper

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 for a special miniature.  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. 

We look back at what was going out free this time last year and now also in our first year too.  In October 2014 it was IMP14 Female Retained Veteran and in October 2014 it was IMP02 Retained Knight with Power Fist.  You can get them in the Year Collections of formally free on our website HERE but if you click on the links over the codes you can see the blog post from that month and year and see what else we were up to at that time.  Time flies and sometimes we forget and I always enjoy the new month update and to look back at last year and further...so much done and so much still to do!

September had two salient points which had IonFans talking.  The first was the release of a command pack (IAF075) and platoon pack for the mighty (IAFP03) Desteria Knights which saw these walking weapon platforms raised to a full force.  The second was of course the articles on the coming of Bob Naismith's awesome Taranis main battle tanks.  There are still a couple of these to come but October will see an Early Supporter Offer (ESO) on Taranis happening in the first week of the month!  

Full details to come of course but the Early Supporter Offers will feature a choice of levels along with savings and also free items too.  Excellent!  The ESO's will end before the end of the month with all orders placed for them shipped out worldwide at the end of the promotion period.  Watch this spot!

Thanks for reading.
