Ion Age BIG 15mm news Taranis Tanks with free Drones new images and Callsign Taranis back

A lot crammed into this update for the 15mm Ion Age Range as we announce that all three Patrol Angis books are now in stock (Callsign Taranis is back!) and that all 28 variants of the 15mm super heavy Taranis Tanks have new molds and all new images. On top of this every Taranis Tank now comes with a free pack of five drones! Here is the detail of all our 15mm Ion Age news for June 2024. 
 
 
The expansion to the core Patrol Angis skirmish rules Callsign Taranis gives you part two of the Prydian Civil War plus rules for all vehicles, skills and equipment, playing bigger games, between games, generating terrain and much more such as army lists. In print and as a digital download too. There is also a three book bundle with The Khanate Return too. 
 
 
Get into Patrol Angis with the game pack which gives you the book as well as more than thirty miniatures, three battlesuits, a portable weapon and crew plus a unique Knight Errant and bases. All with a saving. From this start you can expand in any direction..including heavier armour… 
 




 Taranis Tanks and Drones were designed by Bob Naismith
 
We have twenty eight variants of the super heavy main battle tanks of the Taranis series. Various load outs and four propulsion methods of tracked, wheeled, lifter (hover) and replusar (anti-grav). Command, Siege, Armoured Transport and more. Each model is an easy to assemble kit of pieces and about 90mm by 55mm when built. All new pictures such as the examples here and now every tank comes with a free pack of five drones. Running drones for the tracked and wheeled Taranis. Repulsar drones for the hover and repulsar Taranis. Extra value! These drones feature in the game rules. 
 
 
As you can see Taranis Tanks are the lord of the battlefield packing firepower and protection which can even destroy Magog Mecha! A Planetary Militia (IAFP07) officer along with a Hazelwurm Patrol Car and Colabreta Patrol Carrier.
 

 
Taranis Drones which run on legs or float on anti-gravity are an essential screen for the mighty tanks. Every Taranis tank now comes with a free pack of five drones and now they themselves IAF081 Taranis Runner Drones and IAF082 Taranis Repulsar Drones can be had as packs, singles and value bundles of ten with a saving. Cool!

One use per customer (until 8th July) and applies to everything in the cart no matter what it is from the website. Will not combine with any other promotion code. 
 

We like to give our customers a treat so there is always something free in every package shipped out by us here in Scotland. Until July 8th it is part one of our Devilish Imps; four any scale miniatures. Read about this in the ARTICLE. No catch..totally free in orders.

Dave Alsager and Commander Murdos 15mm Taranis Tank

It is my great pleasure to present to all the 15mm science fiction fans out there Dave Alsager (player of Patrol Angis and collector of Ion Age miniatures) take on the special Commander Murdo's Taranis main battle tank.  Thanks to Dave for permission and if you click the images on the blog they will enlarge.


“I painted the tank to be of the Gryllus Company, which is entry 17 on the poster Uniforms of the Prydian Precinct but it was pointed out to me that the colors were different (brick red, not the orange I used).  So instead I named them the 'Morning Glories' an offshoot of the 'Dusk Knights' my own force as a cavalry division.  Dusk Knights due to the hue of the Chameleon Circuits in their armour and their battle tactics...they strike at dawn or in dim light.”

David Alsager told me what is above and I think his force looks really awesome!  Here is a composite of views of his take on RWP02 Commander Murdo's Taranis Tank.  There are a lot of free files to download including special rules for this tank see them all on this PAGE of the website.


Here are his Dusk Knights.  A varied force composed of course of the mighty Taranis Tank as well as Retained Knights, Desteria Knights, Grav Bikes and Battlesuits.  




We have more than twenty different mighty Taranis Main Battle Tanks designed by the legendary Bob Naismith which have tracked, wheeled, lifter and anti-gravity propulsions as well as projectile and energy weapon systems and armoured personnel carrier types.  See them all HERE on the website.  Big vehicles for your collection.

Thanks for Reading,
