Phalanx. (15mm Sci Fi)

Not a real post yesterday, just a quick update in case anyone saw those figures at a later date and wondered why they were different,

 So today sees me continue with the 15mm Sci Fi force.

This is a GZG New Anglican Confederation Phalanx APC. Not the easiest thing to put together, and I did muck it up in a couple of places but it did come out looking "acceptable" . In 2 weeks time I shall pick another one or maybe 2 of these up to fully fit out my NAC force with armoured Infantry transport.

In the rules this is able to transport either 1 Power armour squad or 2 normal squads. (But most often just carries one normal squad). It has two light Direct Fire Fusion Guns (Gatling style) one in each small turret. In addition to the troops  it has a crew of 2 (Commander and Driver), but in the rules only basic ECM and smoke launchers.

There is a command version which does have better Electronic Counter measures and communication, but cannot carry troops. (Well maybe a command squad in a limited capacity but not for long periods)

  2. I like how the colours are tied together between the troops and vehicle. The look really cool when seen together in that last image.

  3. That's a fine looking vehicle and I agree that the vehicle does look cool next to your ground troops.

  4. That's a high vehicle, with considerable ground clearance. Looks to me as if it's optimised for very rough terrain?

    1. Thank you C6. It is called a Hi-mobility APC, and with good reason. I am sure it would be capable of traversing rough terrain. (Possibly at speed)

    1. Thank you Ray. Personally I see no resemblance at all with the Tortoise heavy Assault tank. Unless you mean the Tortoise reptile in which case I think I can see what you mean. But only just.
