Ion Age News and Sneak Peaks

By Eli


Gavin and the blokes at The Ion Age are steadily working hard to bankrupt us all and have some really cool new project on the boil. Today's post previews two exciting new developments.

The first of these is a set of 15mm separate weapons for conversions, modelling and such. These are patterned after the weapons sculpted on the Ion Age miniatures and will allow you to customize characters, or even bring other figures into your Ion Age universe. I personally think they make great kit for any space opera style troops and will surely be picking up a few packs.


There will be three different packs for this addition - 

IAF025 15mm Retained Conversion Pack
IAF026 15mm Muster Conversion Pack
IAF027 15mm Khanate Legion Conversion Pack

For more information on these, read HERE.

Now, on to the second sneak peak and this is a monster!

As if the concept art wasn't cool enough, Gavin has let spill preview picks of EVERY one of the initial variants of the Duxis battlesuit. There are simply too many pictures and delicious details to show here, so I've cherry-picked a few of my favorites and you can go HERE to read more.

  1. The individual weapon's packs will be a great boon to we 15mm scifi fans. They will also increase the smuggler traffic in Zamazonia! (Scenario #1)

  2. Separate weapons set is great and effective way to induce other sculptors into own range. I wonder why none else is using such marketing ploy.

    1. Not really a ploy, but I can tell you that many might not do it due to the extreme fiddly nature of the parts. They are very hard to handle and sort being so small. I will see how it goes and if its popular then Sam Croes has said he will sculpt more and do request sprues on 15mm.co.uk too.
