New release!!! I'm kinda excited here, for years I've been working on designing ships and one of the reasons why I've joined up with Vanguard Miniatures was to have my ship designs put in production. Hopefully this will be the beginning of a whole bunch of ships being released!
Novan Elites Panthera Class Heavy Frigate x 2 - £7.00
The Panthera class Heavy Frigate is the workhorse of the Novan Elite fleets. Heavily armed and armoured, its various weapon configurations allow it to fulfil many different void combat roles.
No matter its broadside configuration, the Panthera’s basic armament includes two heavy twin linked dorsal mounted turrets 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 it’s modular design.
Most commonly used are weapons batteries, more than capable of tearing huge chunks out of enemy vessels many times its own size. Another popular configuration for the Panthera is to fit it with launch bays, allowing the heavy frigate to carry several squadrons of Javelin fighters and Pilum bombers. In order to protect other ships of the fleet from waves of ordnance and enemy fighters the Panthera is sometimes also configured with broadside turret platforms capable of projecting a withering volume of defensive fire.
Panthera class heavy frigate x 2 with three broadside options each. Images show three vessels to demonstrate the broadside options.
Model is 52mm long, bases not included.

They are closer to the size of frigates rather than the light cruiser. A light cruiser is in the planning though...

The Gladiator walker kit will be updated:
I have had a walking pose created for the gladiator and mirrored it to gain two new poses. Also had the arm mounts lowered as I feel it creates a more pleasing aesthetic for the model.
Also, new prints:
Pilum class bombers:
More Centurion Battle Tank variants:
I've got two questions for you:
1) Would you like to see a 6mm version of the Pilum bomber?
2) What other Centurion variants would you like to see?

Need some reinforcements for your Novan Elites?
Novan Elites Hammer and Hunter Tanks - £6.00
As Novan Elite forces grew to operate more independently from other elements of the Novan military, they were forced to develop vehicles and units normally assigned to the Novan Regulars. This means that the Novan Elites needed to develop their own siege tanks. A modification of the Trojan Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) hull was developed to match the Regulars’ Support Tank Hull. Like its Warrior IFV based brother, this variant of the Trojan has been armed with various weapon configurations – the two most popular being the Siege Cannon and the Heavy Laser Cannon.
The Trojan Hammer is a light siege tank, deployed to take out enemy bunkers and fortifications. Its Siege Cannon can easily turn armoured structures into rubble.
The Trojan Hunter’s role is that of a tank hunter. Its Heavy Laser Cannon has been designed to penetrate heavy armour and thick shielding, making the Trojan Hunter the perfect candidate to eliminate enemy tanks and even larger war engines.
Pack contains: 2 x hulls, 2 x siege cannon, 2 x laser cannon

Skinner reinforcements have arrived!
Skinnerz Infantry Set B - £7.00
The human gene-mutants known as Skinnerz were an early experiment in creating a genetically modified hardy breed of servile human workers during the initial colonisation of the fifty worlds. Increasing their muscle bulk and bone density had a cost however, as although their intellects remained within normal human range, increased charges of adrenaline lead to heightened aggression and reduced tolerance for following orders.
The first worlds were colonised successfully by the Novan peoples with the assistance of Skinnerz workers, but ultimately Novan hegemony was not to last, as a series of violent rebellions by Skinnerz led to the fall of Novan authority on three whole planets, as well as leaving some planets partially contested.
Incensed against normal humans due to their hundreds of years of slavery, Skinnerz rebellions gradually changed from actions aimed at the overthrow of their Novan overlords, to the destruction of all Novan peoples across the fifty worlds of Tusculum.
Within the realms of the Novan Kingdom, Skinnerz worker usage was phased out, redundant workers being exiled to rebel-held areas in exchange for (typically brief) peace treaties, or simply exterminated in massacres that have become memorialised as war cries amongst surviving Skinnerz.
With a history of bloody conflict and entrenched hatred, between Novans and Skinnerz the future seems one of inevitable warfare.
40 x Skinnerz Infantry, 16 x rifles, 16 x melee weapons, 4 x rocket launchers, 4 x heavy machine gun.
