New Shia Khan Monocycles from The Ion Age

by Chris

The Ion Age continues to expand the Shia Khan forces. Supporting last week's Legionary First Tesseran figure pack, the Canthus Monocycle is now available.

The IAF007 Canthus Monocycle Pack contains two Legionary Riders and two Cycles - one mounted, one dismounted. I like these quite a bit... not sure if they are faster than the average jetbike, but they look like they can take (and deliver) quite a bit of punishment. It's easy to picture these screaming across the deserts of a faraway moon in advance of the main Legionary assault. Or if you think of the Shia Khan Nox power armor as drop- or teleport-troops, these Monocycles would be great at slipping locator beacons behind enemy lines. 



The combination allows you to field them in games where riders will fight on and off their mounts. Price is £5.00/pack, and there is always a 10% discount for three packs. If you only need the Monocycle with rider (or you want just the Monocycle to use with other rider figures), they are available as single castings.

  1. Crikey! Thanks Chris, that was nearly as fast posting this release as the Canthus Monocycle is on a level freeway!

    The Ion Age moves into small white metal vehicles...what next I wonder?

  3. Those look cool ass, even if they would be easily defeated by throwing a bunch of banana peels in their path.
