Patrol Angis - Game Pack


Mrs ADHS treated me to the Patrol Angis Game Pack (think of it as a starter set) from Alternative Armies.  This pack is awesome - I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in!

By way of background, many moons ago my Grandma bought me some miniatures from a local shop that specialises in scale model kits.  She knew I was into wargames so took a punt - many years later I learnt that they were 28mm Ion Age miniatures!  It's kind of fun to return to this setting properly now I know a bit more about what I'm doing!

Of course, the pack includes the Patrol Angis rulebook to get started:


The pack also includes two forces - yep, full forces ready to duke it out in 15mm!

The one side 'Prydian Army' consists of two Retained Posts (think squads), the characters Balthazar and Jerome and a special Knight Errant with Pistol that is unique to this pack!  I need to sort through and get my head around what's what - but this is the Prydian half:


Of course being 15mm it's not easy to see from a bare metal picture what kind of detail these chaps hold - but please be assured that they have a good amount of detail, and the poses have a nice amount of variety too!  There's a sprinkling of different weapon types alongside the standard rifles.

For the other half of the pack it is the League of Yordan.  Starting off with a Retained Post:


This Post is all-female and look rather bad-ass - just check out the one on the top row with a rocket launcher! 

Also for the Yordan side, a weapon platform with crew:


And finishing off the Yordan force are three Battlesuits - each with a different gun:


I really like the Battlesuits!!

The pack also included enough bases for both forces too, which is a nice touch.

I'm really pleased to have added some 15mm Sci-Fi to the collection and there'll be more from the Ion Age soon...
