I just ordered a bunch of the 15mm stuff as it looks exceptional. Grimdark gaming in 15 has always been a dream of mine and this looks like it will work well.

Happy to see they added another vehicle option and I hope the range continues to expand.

Also happy to have found a Vanguard thread!

Definitely picking up some of those pending ships - the different prows are a great move. Any scope for making the older ships have removable prows too? That would grant some great customisation options and draw in more customers I imagine!

When is a 3mm cyberstalker leviathan coming out? My question is not related to the Adeptus Titanicus release at all nope nope

Nothing planned at the moment. I might do something for the larger Novan Elites ships when I get to them...

Holy ****. Got my order delivered to South Carolina within a week and a half.

Nothing but compliments on the quality. Some of the most crisp 15mm sculpts I've ever seen.

Resin also crisp and very solid. I was sure I wouldn't see these until long after the Hurricane so this is a great surprise.

Can't wait to paint it up and post pics

I don't suppose you are planning on selling the 6mm regulars command tanks separately? I've been buying the vanquisher equivalents but I will end up with nine and no command tank :( also it may just be me but the tank comes with an open hatch option but no tank commander in cupola?

And yes, the tanks come with an open hatch. It'll allow players to convert their own commanders in it.

In the meantime...

Four more Centurion variants out!

Novan Regulars Centurion Main Battle Tank (Aeneas) - £8.50


The centurion main battle tank is the most common tank used by Novan regular forces in the field a rugged and heavily armoured design it has been built to be a reliable and easy to operate vehicle capable of going long periods of time between maintenance cycles making it the perfect machine to equip Tusculum Nova’s armoured divisions.

The designs has seen many weapon fits over the years but the most common armaments (hector configuration) are a regular tank cannon in the turret backed up by a fixed forward hull mounted laser cannon. In addition the hull sides can be configured to mount a sponson weapon most commonly a HMG for close in anti personnel protection.

The Aeneas is the lighter brother of the Hector configuration. Its 120mm cannon is replaced for a lighter variant. Ironically, this weapon was originally designed to be mounted on the Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle as an anti-fortification weapon. This has proven very ineffective, which led the Novan military to rethink their design. The cannon was mounted on a Centurion hull, its decrease in weight gave it more speed than the other configurations. Most Centurions armed with the Aeneas configuration also sacrifice their sponson-mounted tertiary weapons to decrease even more weight, allowing it to travel faster and for longer distances.

Pack contains 3 x centurion tanks (Aeneas) with modelling options.

https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-regulars-centurion-main-battle-tank/

Novan Regulars Centurion Main Battle Tank (Agamemnon) - £8.50


The centurion main battle tank is the most common tank used by Novan regular forces in the field a rugged and heavily armoured design it has been built to be a reliable and easy to operate vehicle capable of going long periods of time between maintenance cycles making it the perfect machine to equip Tusculum Nova’s armoured divisions.

In addition the hull sides can be configured to mount a sponson weapon most commonly a HMG for close in anti personnel protection.

The Agamemnon configuration is the follow-up design of the Ajax configuration. Its primary weapon is replaced for a mortar which has a much longer range than conventional Siege Cannons carried by the Ajax configuration or the Hammer Support Tank. Secondary and tertiary weapons, like the Ajax configuration, are primarily meant to take out thick armour. The Agamemnon often sees the secondary laser cannon and tertiary Plasma Cannons replaced for Microwave Projectors.

Pack contains 3 x centurion tanks (Agamemnon) with modelling options.

https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-regulars-centurion-main-battle-tank-3/

Novan Regulars Centurion Main Battle Tank (Turnus) - £8.50


The centurion main battle tank is the most common tank used by Novan regular forces in the field a rugged and heavily armoured design it has been built to be a reliable and easy to operate vehicle capable of going long periods of time between maintenance cycles making it the perfect machine to equip Tusculum Nova’s armoured divisions.

In addition the hull sides can be configured to mount a sponson weapon most commonly a HMG for close in anti personnel protection.

The Turnus configuration, like the Patroclus configuration, was developed during the Skinner Rebellion. Like its automatic cannons armed brother, the Turnus is highly effective against horde enemies such as the Skinnerz or civilian rebellions. But whereas the Patroclus is specialised in taking out lightly armoured targets and light vehicles, the Turnus’s purpose is to eliminate vast amounts of enemy infantry. Its Heavy rotary cannon is the big brother of multi-barrelled weapons sometimes mounted on the Novan Elites Scorpion Tank. For extra close range support against enemy infantry, commanders often replace the hull-mounted laser cannon for a flamethrower.

Pack contains 3 x centurion tanks (Turnus) with modelling options.

Novan Regulars Centurion Main Battle Tank (Odysseus) - £8.50

In addition the hull sides can be configured to mount a sponson weapon most commonly a HMG for close in anti personnel protection.

A more recent development within the Novan military, the Odysseus configuration uses primary and tertiary weapons normally used by the Novan Elites. Based on the Disruptor Annihilator of the Novan Elites Dominator Super Heavy Tank, the Odysseus carries a turret-mounted Heavy Disruptor Charger and two sponson-mounted Disruptor Cannons. Its secondary hull weapon is rather unconventional for the Centurion tank. Whilst most configurations are armed with laser cannons, the Odysseus carries a quick cycling pulse laser, a weapon normally reserved for the Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle.

Pack contains 3 x centurion tanks (Odysseus) with modelling options.

Additional armoured reinforcements!

Novan Regulars Centurion Assault Guns - £8.50


The Centurion tank has seen many adaptions during its years of service, one such adaption omits the turret in favour of mounting a weapon system low down in the main hull in a fixed forward position. This configuration allows for a much heavier weapon to be mounted on the chassis, greatly reducing the overall silhouette of the vehicle. Two of the most common weapons utilised are the Hammer mortar and Hunter anti-tank laser cannon.

Set contains: 3 x assault gun hulls, 3 x parts sprues

https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/tainted-regulars-centurion-tank-hector/

And of course...what everyone has been waiting for: THE EAGLE HAS LANDED!!!

Novan Elites Eagle Dropship - £28.00





The Novan Elites make use of many types of aircraft including fighters, bombers, shuttles, heavy landers and dropships, the Eagle is a medium class dropship capable of fighting its way past an orbital blockade to deliver a full Maniple of Elites infantry to a planetary surface under combat conditions. Heavily armed and armoured this aerospace craft is also a supremely powerful air asset in its own right. The main dorsal turret can be fitted with a variety of different weapon systems, including an accurate and hard-hitting heavy laser cannon, allowing it to engage heavily fortified orbital and surface positions, as well as enabling ground-support “pylon runs” to strike hardened surface targets. Secondary weapons include supplemental wing-mounted laser cannon and air to ground missile clusters. Close in defence and landing zone suppression is provided by automated heavy machine gun turrets. Even a single Eagle dropship is likely to prove to be an incalculably valuable asset to any Elites battle group.

This set consists of one resin cast model made up of the follow:

1 x Eagle hull

7 x Eagle component sprues

Dimensions: Length 92mm nose to rear thrusters, Wing span 90mm, Height 28mm bottom of landing gear to rear stabiliser wing.

Considering I've amassed quite an epic collection for a small outlay, £28 is on the higher end of the scale. Like I said, though, for both a kick-ass, high quality Thunderhawk proxy, something that is rare as... well, the excretions of a fantasy animal that resembles a horse, it's still perfectly reasonable.
