The Ion Age: Welcome to our first sneak peek article for 2015! Its an information one on our planned expansion and final piece of the initial ranges for the Humans of the Prydian Precinct the Planetary Militia.
As the auto-trainer has informed you already these are the planet bound local defenders who make up the bulk of soldiers in any conflict inside an atmosphere.
Not fantastic like Starvaulters, not super armoured and life long fighters like Retained Knights and Desteria Knights and not as well trained as the Muster they are the part time or the local army of a world.
This expansion to our 15mm range dove tails into The Ion Age but it can also be used for near future or post apocalypse wargaming as its technology level is nearer to our own and not as space opera as the rest of the Prydian Army.
We see the 'Planetary Defence Forces' as they would call themselves as the soldiers that best represent the imagined equivalent of our own modern and near future armies on Earth in the real world.
Seldom do they consider events beyond their own world and not often do they venture outside of its atmosphere. Instead they fight insurgents or invaders both Human and not as they made themselves known on that world. They could be in any colours of uniform and have back stories that suit their varied planets.
You can see an image of one of the original 28mm scale Planetary Militia miniatures from our ranges. It is from this template of style that we have created the new 15mm Planetary Militia miniatures. They stand next to each other separated by scale and by nearly two decades of real world time. A familiar but at the same time rather unique look don't you think? Scaled down to perfection.
During February we will be releasing the following codes as a phase one of the packs you can expect across this year. So that you can plan your purchase we have given you their contents and prices. These will be released as usual on a Thursday and before the end of the month:
- IAF067 Planetary Militia 1st Squad (10) (Rifle Squad) 5.00GBP
- IAF068 Planetary Militia 2nd Squad (10) (Support Squad) 5.00GBP
