A couple 6mm battle walkers releases for today. The Novan Elites Marauder and Novan Regulars Locust stride into battle.

Novan Elites – Marauder (A) Battle Striders




The Marauder was the first “Battle” class Strider created exclusively for the Novan Elites, a very advanced design at the time of its introduction. A fast rugged chassis married to modular weapon pods its longevity in service has been testament to its capabilities.

This (A) variant is armed with a twin medium calibre rotary cannon chin turret and two guided missile batteries in the shoulder pods.

Set contains:

2 x Marauder battle striders

Notes:

These are resin cast models
Figures shown for scale purposes only
Model height 40mms approximately not including antenna
Bases not included

https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-elites-marauder-a-battle-striders/

Novan Regulars – Locust Battle Striders





One of the first “Battle” class Striders deployed by Novan Regulars regiments the Locust is basically an enlarged and upscaled scout strider. The venerable Mk1 has only one weapons hard point like the scout strider that inspired it, and is often now deployed as a heavy recon unit and sometimes as a command vehicle due to the greater internal space (port side) allowing for the fitting of a command and control suite.

The Mk2 has two weapon hardpoints. It is common practise in many regiments to field the Mk1 and Mk2 machines together as a team.

Set contains:

2 x Locust kits (one of each hull variant) with modelling options

Notes:

These are resin cast models
Figures shown for scale purposes only
Model height 35mms approximately
Bases not included

The battle walkers look amazing. Any chance of that coming out in 28mm, or as an .stl so one can try printing it larger themselves?

Sadly enough I doubt either will happen anytime soon. Vanguard Miniatures have always been focussed on 6mm scale (with 3mm, 15mm, and fleetscale being sort of secondary). As for selling STL's, from what I understand Vanguard are pretty reluctant about that, considering how easily those files could then be shared around.

Interesting that Vanguard are now doing resin I guess that makes sense for this kind of kit.

1 x destroyer parts sprue

Notes:

1. Resin cast model
2. Model approximate length 45mms including prow mounted plasma accelerator

https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-elites-fleet-lynx-pattern-assault-destroyer/

Novan Elites – Lynx Pattern Destroyers


Lynx class Destroyers are small and fast craft that are capable of quickly delivering their deadly cargo. For its size the Lynx is heavily armed, making it a jack of all trades. Its basic armament includes two dorsal mounted twin turrets to take out incoming ordnance, and two pairs of prow torpedo tubes. Its broadsides allow for different types of weapon systems which can be changed whilst in dock due to its modular design. Most common broadside configurations are either weapon batteries or launch bays for a small compliment of fighters.

Its diverse armament is also its main disadvantage. A lot of space normally used for supplies such as fuel, ammunition, foodstuffs, and oxygen is sacrificed for the Lynx’s many weapon systems. What this means is that the Lynx needs constant resupplying, making it incapable of long independent missions away from sources of supply. Because of this the Lynx is often deployed on short duration missions only, when not operating as part of a larger battle flotilla.

This set contains:

2 x Lynx Destroyer hulls (1 x batteries, 1 x launch bays)
2 x optional wings sets and twin turrets

Notes:
1.Resin cast models
2. Model length approx. 38mm
3. Flight base not included

Completely agree

I feel the same way with Epic and the "I wish GW would bring Epic back" comments. The games, the communities, the miniatures (and these days, lots and lots of miniatures) - yes there are no starter sets that cost £100 in GW shrink-wrap, but really that's the only thing missing.

That's good to know !

'til now, we only saw ships with a "moderate" size. Do you have the intention to make way bigger ships, like battleship or dreadnought size ?

Don't misunderstand me, I love destroyers, frigates and cruisers all the same, but it would be nice to have a broader roster I believe.
