Space ship update:

Citation :

FYI.
Posted up this notification on my website Panthera product entry.
THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BE THE LAST BATCH OF METAL CAST PANTHERA BEFORE I MOVE OVER TO MOSTLY RESIN CAST SHIPS, SO PLEASE BE AWARE OF THAT. THE MOULD FOR THIS MODEL IS SHOWING SIGNS OF WEARING OUT SO THESE ARE NOT OF THE SAME QUALITY AS USUAL BUT STILL OF VIABLE USE, FORTUNATELY MOST OF THE WEAR IS IN AREAS THAT WILL BE COVERED BY THE "WINGS" OR WEAPON BROADSIDES.
So this latest batch will most likely be the last metal Panthera available, if any of you guys/gals still want metal versions then you will have to snap them up once ordering has been enabled again either tomorrow or Thursday.
Cheers John

Get them in metal while you can: https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-elites-panthera-ii-class-heavy-frigate-x-2/

A dozer blade can also be mounted on the forward hull to help with breaching obstacles. Standard armament is a small remotely operated twin machine gun mount on the upper hull.

Alternatively the passenger compartment can be quickly refitted to contain an armoured fuel tank from which to feed a non lethal crowd control water cannon, or if in extremely hostile situations or supporting battlefield operations a heavy dual flamethrower can be mounted.

3 x Pacifier hulls

3 x Armoured dozer blades

The transport variant replaces the bomb bay with troop benches and sports heavy machine guns for self defence, alternatively the troop benches can be removed in order to make space for logistics operations.

Fixed armaments include two forward facing twin medium cannon on the fuselage, a rotating twin machine gun turret in the dorsal position and remotely operated rear facing twin machine guns on the tail, other armaments have also been observed.

This is a multipart resin and metal kit with modelling options.

Superb model. Very well made.

And in the same time not enough orkish to me. It's very regular, with just some few details showing the meccanos where not that good. I need more strange things openly customised to call it ork made.

it could fitt a human squadron, to me.

And again, very well made, hence.

Those are really cool. I really enjoy how you have improved legionnaries design over the past months!

Yep, they are really great. A lot of movement, despite the armor and shield. Very human positions. And of course, having made some for myself, i do love the idea of casualties !

Update from Battlegroup Helios:

Citation :

UPDATE
All Zeus pattern ships and the spear prows have been approved for manufacture. Mould making could start in as little as two weeks with a pre-xmas release quite possible.
Panthera and Lynx, both are now being re-printed and will be put back in production as soon as possible.
Also now in the queue to follow on the heels of these are another ten vessels for various factions.

I like the very agressive and heavily armed look.
