We’ve put out the odd photo of a new 15mm tank lately, and we’re pleased to say that it’s finally ready for release. There are in fact two of them, similar but each with a different role on the battlefield. Both vehicles are used by Neo-Soviet Guards armoured divisions instead of the smaller Bizon used by regular units.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Vombat<\/a> is an Urban Combat vehicle with infantry carrying capabilities. It’s heavy armour allows it to go deeper into a hostile urban environment than a light-skinned APC could, carrying its cargo of four infantry.<\/p>\n

The Bars<\/a> on the other hand is a pure main battle tank, losing the infantry compartment in favour of larger fuel tanks for increased range and a heavier ammunition load.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This also seemed an ideal time to bring back the former ArmiesArmy Neo-Soviet guards figures. Guard units wear flexible splinter-resistant composite fabric face masks with integrated breather units to keep out dust, pollutants and chemical\/biological agents. Some formations, especially when facing irregular insurgent forces, wear red masks to increase the intimidation factor.<\/p>\n

The Bars and Vombat are available individually, while the Bars is available in a platoon pack<\/a> of three models (which includes crew and stowage). The Vombat meanwhile is available in an Assault Platoon<\/a> pack of three models plus 12 infantry. The guards infantry consist of three packs – riflemen, support weapons and command – plus a platoon pack of 32 figures.<\/p>\n
