Today we’re unveiling a new 15mm model for the Thunderbolt Division<\/a>, a mercenary unit from the Slammerverse<\/a> that relies mainly on half-tracked vehicles (and you thought half-tracks were obsolete …). This is the Viking<\/strong>, a smaller recce vehicle also used for towing cargo and weapon trailers. The model has a resin hull with 10 metal parts including the turret, for which there are two options, cannon or missile launcher.<\/p>\n

Also available is the Varningr<\/strong> trailer which comes in three variants – a plain cargo trailer, an MRLS version with a 9-barrelled rocket launcher and a calliope trailer with an 8-barrelled anti-missile system.<\/p>\n

HS15-1816 – Br64 Viking Recce – \u00a37.00
\nHS15-1817 – Br68 Viking Missile – \u00a37.00
\nHS15-1818 – Varningr Cargo Trailer – \u00a33.00
\nHS15-1818a – Varningr MRLS Trailer – \u00a34.00
\nHS15-1818b – Varningr Calliope Trailer – \u00a34.50<\/p>\n

We haven’t forgotten the larger Dragoon half-tracks – we’re hoping to get those released sometime very soon, once we’ve finished remoulding the metal parts and sorted out a few wrinkles with the casting of the resin hull.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
