Subject: [GZG] [OFFICIAL] Next lot of15mm!
Latest 15mm releases: first, the much-requested PALADIN 6-wheeled hi-mobility Battletank - some heavy support for the Phalanx-borne infantry! All-metal kit, 20 parts (easy assembly!), including choice of main weapon system - a short-barrelled High Energy Laser (HEL) projector, or a long MDC (Mass Driver Cannon) - both guns are included in kit. As usual, we have a Platoon Box deal for 3 of the tanks plus extra FREE accessories and stowage. Once you see the pics, the more eagle-eyed among you will notice one major difference between the 15mm Paladin II version and the original Paladin I in our 25mm and 6mm ranges - we've swapped the turret mount from the left to the right side of the vehicle; this is a purely aesthetic decision, as I think it looks better this way and put the main gun much nearer the centreline of the vehicle rather than hanging out the left hand side! You can either consider this to be a "re-imagining" of the original vehicle (hey, it works for the movies...) or we can come up with a load of PSB about how user feedback from the troops equipped with the original Paladin caused a design re-think for the version II. :-) The other new item in this batch, though much smaller and less impressive than the Paladin II, is going to be even more useful in many armies - a little Utility Grav Sled, great for carrying supplies, support weapons teams or light weapon mounts, or for many civilian uses. The sled itself is a single-piece casting, supplied with two separate seated crew figures (one in field cap, one in helmet). The new Sled is available in a basic version (29A), which can be used as a simple civilian or military load carrier, and as a weapons carrier version with 3 weapon variants to choose from (30A, B and C - tribarrel cannon, plasma cannon and missile launcher respectively). Each of the armed variants comes with two seated crew for the cab and two kneeling weapon crew (operator and commander/observer) to fit in the back. Watch out for even MORE new stuff very soon, especially if you have Kra'Vak forces..... ;-) .....................
