New Shia Khan infantry and remastered Laserburn vehicles

The Shia Khan have returned to the Ion Age. The original packs available again (both the Nox power armored infantry and Malig goblin cannon-fodder), and they are joined by the all-new Legionary First Tesseran pack.


This is an impressive new pack. All eight figures have unique poses. Seven Legionnaires are armed with the Juno rifle - a hefty, noisy-looking gun complete with bayonet; and the Centurion figure complete with pistol and cape. They have a rather sinister appearance... an ideal enemy for heroic Space Opera characters. If this picture is any indication, they definitely live up to the Sam Croes artwork found on the Ion Age website.

Meanwhile, 15mm.Co.Uk is breathing new life into the Laserburn line. The aging pewter vehicles are gradually being remastered into resin castings - the Flit Car and Hover Van are available now.


These are great civilian or rear-echelon support vehicles. There's just something sporty about the Flit Cars - some kind of far future hot rod or luxury cruiser.


And the Hover Van is a very nice compact pick-up/ute-ish ride. Not a huge cargo hauler, but just the thing for small deliveries around spaceports and cities.


Kudos to 15mm.co.uk for getting these back into the 15mm "motor pool." I look forward to seeing the rest!

Cheers,
Chris

  4. Me and my buddy were looking into making some 15mm Rouge Trader warbands after he found a copy of the rules. He suggested Ion Age. and i went "whats ion age" to which he promptly walloped me and showed me the sight. and then i understood what awesome could be.

    2. I may seem a bit biased (being sculptor for the Ion Age and all), but yeah, I am a big fan of the original Rogue Trader ruleset, and for me the Ion Age was the natural way to go to get that golden age Space Opera fix in these days of boring, grimy Sci-Fi. Stay tuned for more awesomeness coming up! :)
