Today sees the start of a minor deluge of new 15mm Hammer’s Slammers<\/a> releases, spread out over the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First off the production line is the Br64\/68 Viking half-track<\/strong>, used by both the Thunderbolt Division<\/a> and the Wolverines<\/a> mercenary units. The Thunderbolts use the Br64 Viking armed with a heavy support weapon in recce units and also to tow the Varningr trailer fitting with a multiple rocket launcher system. The Wolverines use both the Br64 and the missile-armed Br68, either to carrying single infantry teams or as a tractor for a towed powergun model (you’ll have to wait a little longer for that one, but it’s in the works).<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

The Varningr<\/strong> trailer comes in three variants – the afore-mentioned MRLS system, a plain cargo trailer and a towed calliope. The latter is used by Hampton’s Legion<\/a>. The cargo trailer is just a handy, general purpose bit of kit with multiple uses.<\/p>\n
