Today we’re releasing more reinforcements for our 6mm Hammer’s Slammers<\/a> forces. There are uparmoured versions of the M2A4UA tank and M9A7 combat car, plus new artillery support on the form of the M53 20cm Artillery Hog.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The new tanks have extra armour plating pretty much all over – the difference is obvious comparing the two versions side-by-side. This option makes the M2 blowers even more formidable than they already are.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The combat cars also have additional hull armour, plus extra plating that fits over the existing mesh splinter shield.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The M53 Hogs are enormous vehicles, as big as a blower tank and with a turret that wouldn’t look out of place on a naval destroyer ! The M53 can empty its six-round ready magazine in just 15 seconds and the ammunition options include nuclear, nerve agents and cluster rounds as well as the usual array of conventional munitions. You can read more about the Hog<\/a>, and the other Slammers blower vehicles, on the official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The models are all available singly, or we have new army and detachment packs that replicate the existing organisations but with the uparmoured vehicles instead. There’s also a new artillery pack with hogs, mortar jeeps and command and observer vehicles.<\/p>\n
