Changement de politique chez Vanguard Miniatures qui va se concentrer sur l'infanterie 6mm (qui se vend bien) et freiner sur les véhicules (qui se vendent mal) :

http://www.tacticalwargames.net/taccmd/viewtopic.php?f=176&t=32237&sid=1e90cde793ed95036840a7542a601995

Je ne suis pas très étonné du constat fait par Malika sur ses ventes. L'infanterie de Defeat in Details est un excellent proxy qui répond à bien des besoins des joueurs Epic (Space Marines 30k, Orks et dans une moindre mesure Garde Impériale). Par contre les véhicules sont en true scale (généralement incompatible avec le reste de la gamme Epic) et avec un design qui s'éloigne un peu de l'univers de W40k.

Le changement de politique est donc logique et j'espère que la production d'infanterie 6mm continuera encore longtemps car elle est vraiment utile.

Dommage pour les proxy de chars garde impériale qui sont très beaux et gardent une patte 40k sans ressembler à de pâles copies.

Ce n'est pas que Vanguard Miniatures s'arrêtera de faire des véhicules, c'est juste que le rythme des sorties de véhicules sera ralenti.

Par exemple, des variantes pour le Centurion seront bientôt publiées. Un proxy possible pour le Macharius est également en cours de traitement. Comme certains modèles BFG.

Ah désolé ! J'ai mal compris ton message sur Tactical Command. C'est encore mieux si la production continue (même ralentie).

Merci de m'avoir corrigé.

Pas de problème.

Novan Elites Battlemaster Command Tank:

Citation :

The Battlemaster is a front line C4i (command, control, communications, computer and intelligence) vehicle for novan elite forces.

The design is basically a stretched mauler assault transport chassis and shares many components with that vehicle, the increased internal space allows for a full battlefield command and control suite to be installed giving up to the minute intelligence and situational awarness to the battlegroup commander via the highly sophisticated sensor dome mounted on the upper hull and functions in a similar roll to the regular armies Dictum command vehicle.

The sensor module (with a more limited capacity) can also be mounted on the trojan APC but the smaller size of this vehicle does not allow for the full command package or holo tank to be installed.

Due to the increased internal space a transport variant of this vehicle has been developed for novan elite troops in heavy armour allowing up to 10 such troopers to be transported instead of the mauler’s 5 man capacity with this armour type. With the sensor suite removed the vehicle also has the capacity to mount a scorpion tank turret for increased firepower. This however does reduce the transport capacity back to 5 men due to the turrets operating systems, crew and ammunition.

Dimensions are: hull length 42mm, hull width 25mm, hull height 9mm not including sponson mounts or sensor dome.

Single model (£7.50): http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-elites-battlemaster-command-tank-x1/

Two-pack (£14.00): http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-elites-battlemaster-command-tank-x-2/

Novan VTOL Buzzard Sky Crane Transport Mk1

Citation :

The P-1218 Buzzard Sky crane transport VTOL Aircraft (Mk1) is yet another development of the Raptor aircraft program being a heavily modified Kestrel airframe designed to carry light vehicles into combat zones.

Most commonly escorted by Falcon gunships the Buzzard has proven a very versatile addition to novan air assault forces.

Novan Elites Hammer and Hunter Tanks - £6.00

Citation :

As Novan Elite forces grew to operate more independently from other elements of the Novan military, they were forced to develop vehicles and units normally assigned to the Novan Regulars. This means that the Novan Elites needed to develop their own siege tanks. A modification of the Trojan Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) hull was developed to match the Regulars’ Support Tank Hull. Like its Warrior IFV based brother, this variant of the Trojan has been armed with various weapon configurations – the two most popular being the Siege Cannon and the Heavy Laser Cannon.

The Trojan Hammer is a light siege tank, deployed to take out enemy bunkers and fortifications. Its Siege Cannon can easily turn armoured structures into rubble.

The Trojan Hunter’s role is that of a tank hunter. Its Heavy Laser Cannon has been designed to penetrate heavy armour and thick shielding, making the Trojan Hunter the perfect candidate to eliminate enemy tanks and even larger war engines.

Pack contains: 2 x hulls, 2 x siege cannon, 2 x laser cannon

Skinner reinforcements have arrived!

Skinnerz Infantry Set B - £7.00

Citation :

The human gene-mutants known as Skinnerz were an early experiment in creating a genetically modified hardy breed of servile human workers during the initial colonisation of the fifty worlds. Increasing their muscle bulk and bone density had a cost however, as although their intellects remained within normal human range, increased charges of adrenaline lead to heightened aggression and reduced tolerance for following orders.

The first worlds were colonised successfully by the Novan peoples with the assistance of Skinnerz workers, but ultimately Novan hegemony was not to last, as a series of violent rebellions by Skinnerz led to the fall of Novan authority on three whole planets, as well as leaving some planets partially contested.

Incensed against normal humans due to their hundreds of years of slavery, Skinnerz rebellions gradually changed from actions aimed at the overthrow of their Novan overlords, to the destruction of all Novan peoples across the fifty worlds of Tusculum.

Within the realms of the Novan Kingdom, Skinnerz worker usage was phased out, redundant workers being exiled to rebel-held areas in exchange for (typically brief) peace treaties, or simply exterminated in massacres that have become memorialised as war cries amongst surviving Skinnerz.

With a history of bloody conflict and entrenched hatred, between Novans and Skinnerz the future seems one of inevitable warfare.

40 x Skinnerz Infantry, 16 x rifles, 16 x melee weapons, 4 x rocket launchers, 4 x heavy machine gun.
