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.

And honestly... we're probably better of that way >_>

I've designed all those recent ships yeah. These, the Merchant Fleet ships to be more specific, were actually already done a year or two ago. The Renegade ships were actually submitted little over a year ago!

Plenty of new ships have been in the works since then, a bunch of them have even been submitted for production!


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.


It's funny you're mentioning that! I've just submitted a Zeus pattern Grand Cruiser and I'm currently working on various Light Cruiser sized ships.

A battleship for the Battlegroup Helios line was in the works (not by me personally), but it's delayed due to the immense production costs of such a model.

Sweet ! I love the Zeus pattern's design, can't wait to see what it looks like !

Yes, I understand it takes a bigger toll on production - but if we already have cruisers / battlecruisers size, it will help us players a lot for sure already !

Renegade Regulars – Centurion Tank (Achilles)


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 this variant the (Achilles configuration) boasts a long range version of the standard 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.

Cybershadow – Praetoria Set 2

The Cybershadow Praetoria as we have designated them are an oddity within the Cybershadow military structure, although they can be seen operating and supporting other Cybershadow forces from time to time they seem to be an independent element not under the main chain of command. Their place within the Technocracy is not fully understood and is still open to some debate within military circles but it is known that they are an extremely aggressive and highly mobile force.

Set contains:

15 x Cybershadow (support) Praetoria in four poses

Gothic Flying Buttress Set

A set of 8 x resin cast gothic flying buttresses.

Very nice, just thinking how those self-propelled guns would look with Marine gun loaders (and think it would probably look quite cool!)

Good that these are quite reasonably priced and with the choice of crew as well.

So the Eloi have just received some major reinforcements...

Eloi Federation – Fire Banshee Detachment






And to give you an idea of size:


The Eloi Federation makes use of a great many battle walker designs, fast, graceful and with incredible agility in comparison to our own battle striders, they are potent and deadly war machines.

This particular design is one of the most prolific machines fielded by Eloi battlegroups, Banshee’s operate in units of three with a piloted command unit and what appears to be two linked drones working in concert, although fully piloted combat teams have also been observed.

Armaments, two arm mounted heavy laser cannon left and right, and two shoulder mounted medium rail cannon. Command units sometimes sacrifice one arm cannon for a close combat weapon instead, a large sword being the most common weapon observed.

Notes:
1. Resin printed multipart models with some modelling options
2. Approximate height, 67mms to top of “wing”
3. Plastic bases not included

Very nice - so looking at the scale these are an Eldar Knight-type size?

That's not a bad price if that's for the unit of 3.

They are lovely - although prefer the smaller heads - is there enough in the pack to do all three with that rather than one with the larger head?

I mean, Hagia Sophia was originally a Cathedral.

Well, that itself is based off Istambul's Yeni Cami, which was in turn based off Hagia Sophia, so... yeah? ^^
