Attack Orbs. What image does that phrase bring to mind, if it is not large, deadly ‘monowheel’ killer machines, there is probably something wrong with your mental imagery. Don’t worry, Gavin at theIonAge is trying to correct that with his latest releases (well, they were when this was written, at there release rate, I could Read more about Attack Orbs[…]
First, let me admit to some bias. I love these guys, from the first second I saw them, I wanted some. Add to that the fact that the first advert I saw from them was reminiscent of an early White Dwarf advert (those old heavy metal ads?), and I was hooked. Also, I got a Read more about Malig Infantry Ordos[…]
When I started with Patrol Angis, I realised that I had almost no scenery. So I dug out some tree’s (see Forestry Post) and ordered some buildings from Ion Age. I ordered what I consider quite a large batch of buildings, 1 * IAF015I Cratered Hab Dome 1 * IAF015J Smashed Hab Dome 2 * IAF015D Tower Read more about Buildings[…]
Another of my passions, Napoleonic Russians from Baccus 6mm, part of my 6mm napoleonic collection, that I hope to share in a later posts. These are intended for use for the 1812+ era, but will proxy Russians for earlier periods, 1805-1809. They are based on 2mm * 60mm * 60mm MDF, two battalions of 24 Read more about Later Napoleonic Russians[…]
I have placed another big order with theIonAge, the release of the Khanate Attack Orbs and new Legionnaires piqued my interest. And of course, some Prydians are included. Now these were ordered as part of the early supporter offer, so will be another 2 weeks or so before they are even shipped, enough time to Read more about Big Order No.2[…]
The very first thing I ordered from the ion age, in May?, 2016, was the Patrol Angis starter pack, initially intending to go and copy the Yordan/Prydian themes from the books, but after seeing the Shia Khan, I decided on a full Prydian scheme, and build up a Khanate force oppose them. So I have Read more about Starter Pack[…]
Some randoms musings today. Who are the Shia Khan? This race that has seemingly conquered most of the galaxy, forcing at least seven client races (Perinax, Malig, Warlords, Beotan, Saurid, Elves, Some humans) to fight for them. Now it’s implied that some form of psychic control is used with the human betrayers, so lets presume Read more about Musings on the origin of the Shia Khan[…]
I ordered a Legion Ordos, from Ion Age, essentially the regular troops of the Khanate. It was viewing these models that got me into the Ion Age, I think they are excellent, the whole look and feel of them is perfect, they look like the ‘bad guys’, even my three year old instantly told me Read more about Legion Ordos[…]
Now, continuing along the scenery path, I have no buildings or any such for 15mm, so I have dug out some ‘Shield Generators’ I had in the cupboards for a few years now, intended to be used for Epic. Now they are ‘Hurwent Shield Generators’ (till theIonAge release some!) from secret weapon miniatures. They will Read more about Hurwent Shield Generator[…]
I do not have a lot of 15mm scenery (mostly 6mm), so the means I need to get modelling some stuff. Now, a few years ago, I bought a pack of coniferous trees from the local (now closed, 🙁 ) model rail shop, used one to make a christmas tree for a warmahordes dungeon (don’t Read more about Forestry[…]
