Following the belated delivery of our new casting kit, we’re finally able to put the Thunderbolt Division’s<\/a> Dragoon half-tracks back into production. The Thunderbolts appears in the Hammer’s Slammers story The Warrior<\/em> (and get a bit of a pasting from Slick des Grieux !) and use two different types of half-track – the Viking<\/a> recce vehicle, which we released earlier in the year, and the much larger Dragoon, which takes on the functions of tank, APC and support vehicle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Dragoon has an unusual configuration of twin pairs of front wheels and two independant small track units either side for low ground pressure and maximum manoeuvrability. There are five turret variants with gun turrets, calliopes and missile launchers. We’ve remastered all of the turrets from the original 3D files, and remoulded the hull from the original master.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We’re also able to offer five different army packs from the Thunderbolt Division detachment list<\/a> which can be found on the official Hammer’s Slammers website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’ll have stocks of the Dragoon and Viking at SELWG<\/a> on Sunday – see you then !<\/p>\n
