The Ion Age: The Corbal Deployable Hardpoint Kit Previewed


The Ion Age: Coming your way with an introductory offer on Thursday 14th August 2014 the IAF041 Corbal Deployable Hardpoint is a resin and white metal 15mm scale science fiction wargaming kit. It's more than a drop pod; but its not a drop ship. Its a tower than comes down from orbit or from high altitude to make a real impression on the enemy. On a column of fire it digs a crater into the ground and then settles atop it. In this static position its weapons offer cover to nearby allies and secures the immediate area. There it remains for the duration as a hard point of fortified resistance.



The Corbal kit is a fun number of pieces for an easy assembly wargame model that is really unique and useful. The parts are as follows and refer to the numbers in the parts image. Number One is the Corbal Crater in which sits the assembled Corbal Tower when it is in play. It can also be used as a stand alone terrain piece in its own right which is great! Number Two is the main body of the Corbal with a flat underside for the engine pod and a rotation mount on top for the turret; its covered in detailing and armour plating. Number Three is the engine pod for placing beneath the Corbal body and fits snugly into the crater as well; it has main engines and guidance thrusters too. 

Number Four is the underside of the turret which attaches to the top of the Corbal body and allows turret rotation in play if desired. Number Five is the turret which has two mounting points for main weapons (the Corbal is supplied with two Fretan Rail Guns but can mount any turret weapon from our Adder vehicles). Number Six composes four white metal ball mount Angis 12.5mm guns which attach to the four points on the Corbal body for anti-personnel fire power. Number Seven is two Fretan Rail Guns for mounting into the main turret. As we said any turret mounted weapon from the Adder Combat Vehicles will fit the Corbal too.
