Novan Elites Siege Armour is out!
Novan Elites Heavy Siege Armour:
When engaged in siege operations the Elite of Tusculum Nova will call upon their Heavy Siege Armour squads. This armour variant is a development of the standard heavy armour suit and has been adapted to house enhanced shoulder armour pieces with build in personal shield technology designed to protect the wearer from attack from above when engaged in breaching operations. The added protection allows these troops to function even when under direct attack from defenders on the walls above. Most Siege Elite troopers are equipped with twin rocket grenade launchers, and augmetic combat hands, whilst one in five will carry a twin long barreled HMG in order to provide firepower at a greater distance.
40 x siege armour figures
£8.20
http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-elites-heavy-siege-armour/
Novan Elites Heavy Siege Armour Command:
The elite forces of Tusculum Nova are lead into battle by mighty hero’s equipped with the finest weapons and with superior fighting ability these warriors are an inspiration to the regular elites as well as the ordinary line troops of the army.

3 officer variants, 1 command pennant bearer, 1 mystic and 1 priest
Set contains:
18 x siege armour command figures three of each sculpt
£6.00

Awesome stuff!!
Are you considering upscaling to 8 mm when to make your range compatible with the new AT game?
Or are your proxy space marines already 8 mm tall?

Thank you for the kind words.
I can't speak for Vanguard Miniatures here, but I don't think they're gonna upscale their complete range at this moment. Besides it being quite an investment to do, there's also the question whether the whole 8mm wave will actually be that big. Another question might be the compatibility of the 8mm stuff compared to the 'upscaled' 6mm models (many epic scale infantry models are closer to 7mm or even 7.5mm).
I know that the vehicles I've designed myself (the Novan Warrior + variants and the Novan Centurion) are already a bit clunky compared to the traditional Epic vehicles, meaning they might work out rather well in both 6mm and 8mm scales.
And now that I'm posting...
This will probably be the last release Vanguard Miniatures will be doing in 2016. Expect tons of new crazy stuff in 2017.
Novan Elites Stormer Siege Breaker Assault Carrier:
The Stormer is the largest combat vehicle currently in operation with novan elite forces. Designed to carry novan elite siege armoured troops right up to the walls of enemy fortifications unscathed this incredibly tough fighting machine has aided in the fall of many an impregnable fortress. Massively armoured and heavily shielded this vehicle can absorb an incredible amount of punishment on it’s approach.
Armed with a breaching microwave battery to it’s front boardering the assault ramp it also has several sponson locations for self defense and a upper hull mounted rocket mortar positioned to bombard the defenders on the walls, alternatively some will carry rotary cannon mounts instead.
This set contains 1 x stormer hull with separate assault ramp and 1 x stormer weapons sprue.
Image of the actual model will appear ASAP.
£16.00

New prints are in:
New prints for the elites again, two on foot assault sprues one with pistols and swords and one with double pistols.
They will be released as normal as i'm attempting to have monthly releases instead of large batches now and then.
These guys may well be out late next month.

A little message from Vanguard Miniatures:
Winter troops news, as everyone knows there is an issue with these figures ankles being weak so some breakages can occur at the moment i'm adding an extra sprue to each infantry pack to help cover this issue.
So anyway i've been working with ben to re-work the figures to resolve this issue here we have in ben's own words and explanation of the changes and an image to compare.
We've kept the original aesthetic as far as practical so the old and new figures should mix together no problem.
Changes include:
Proper hands instead of blocks.
More form-fitting coats instead of "bell shaped" coats.
Minor mod to the rifle.
Pose changes to be more dynamic (old figures all stood pretty straight up, these are now hunching forwards a bit.
Minor detail realignments (shoulderpads, head tilts, etc).
Overall they're pretty much the same as the long-established popular Winter Infantry sculpts, just a bit better quality, and obviously with the weak ankles dealt with. Not a huge update, but a needed one.

Two more tiny updates from Vanguard Miniatures:
New version of the Kakapo arrived today we have increased the thickness of the tail booms and extended the horizontal stabilsers forward which seems to have sorted the weak tail fins issue. Next model to re-work will be the Moa, already updated, just awaiting printing.
(new version on the right)
Arrived today the new Mauler weapons set this set will allow you to create several different weapon loadouts for your Mauler models.

Good news from Vanguard Miniatures for those who want to play around with their possible Predator proxies:
The Scorpion Tanks can now be purchased as a pack of just four hulls and all turret variants are now available individually this will allow you to purchase a squadron of four tanks with just the weapon combinations you need so kind of a modular build your own tank squadron approach. The two original three tank packs are still available but I think this new approach is more flexible and hopefully will prove a popular choice for customers.
Scorpion Tank Hulls x 4
Scorpion Tank Assault Cannon turret x 1
Scorpion Tank Autocannon Turret x 1
Scorpion Tank Heavy Flamethrower Turret x 1
Scorpion Tank Heavy Matter Conversion Cannon x 1
Scorpion Tank Microwave Turret x 1
Scorpion Tank Plasma Cannon Turret x 1
Scorpion Tank Twin Laser Cannon Turret x 1
On another note, remember the mentioned weapon loudouts for the Mauler? Here are some more pics:

Bit of a big announcement. Vanguard Miniatures as started with releasing some 15mm stuff:
Today we see the release of a range of 15mm scale figures for playing skirmish style games in the Defeat in Detail universe. This is the start of what we hope will be an expansive range of 15mm scale models. These initial first figures have been developed by Troublemaker Games and have been available on their webstore for a while now but are now also available here. Over time we will be collaborating on new additions to the range and there are already some items at the casters due for release soon.
Hope you find the new range of interest.

That looks like some 28-32mm ... chaos? It has a very pulp or maybe 80s feel too.. I like it but not sure what to do with it (Rogue Stars notwithstanding)
The FW style hellhound is delicious.
The Skinnerz are going to be part of my collection "soon". I am seriously thinking of selling off my ~10k points of 28mm orks and downsizing to 15mm for my great green waaagh..
I had forgot that these guys have BFG style ships. I have an ork fleet.. and have had them in deep storage for so long.. Now that I see a potential for BFG gaming again, I might have to pick up an imperial fleet to do battle with (if I can convince either of my kids )

@Kid_Kyotto: Erm, the printed ship is the Novan Elites frigate kit I've designed for Vanguard Miniatures. The ship underneath it is the Earthican Light Cruiser, but considering its size it will probably be redubbed as a frigate as well.
