5150 Platoon Leader - First Patrol

I finally played a game after weeks and weeks of no motivation. This was a
Patrol mission conducted by the Prydian Army. Intelligence indicated that the Shia Khan had established a base in the jungles of Vertanice IV. In response a small patrol was sent to check things out. The patrol consisted of a squad of Retained Knights led by a Noble with a Moth Type 12 heavy machine gun in support.

The table after the patrol entered and the PEFs were placed.

The patrols view of the jungle.

The Khanate won the activation roll and started to move in on the patrol at that point. The first PEF resolution  resulted in "something out there", so the next would be taken with 3 dice.

After the patrol moved up the next turn the second PEF showed itself and the second PEF was resolved.

Two Squads of Khanate Legionnaires with an Atomic Destablizer in support. 

The Retained patrol was not having any of it. They won the insight test and pasted the Legionnaires with extreme prejudice.

The patrol continued pushing through the thick jungle. The last PEF resulted in nothing and the patrol set up a perimeter at the other table edge. Things were going extremely well for them so I decided to roll for Khanate reinforcements since the Retained would be sitting there for a turn to fulfill the scenario requirements.

The Legionnaire that ran away must have found his courage and circled around to follow the patrol. He called in an artillery strike on their position resulting in 3 dead. The Retained patrol then made a quick exit back the way they came.

 

The patrol was a success and it was established that the intel was correct. Not only had the Shia Khan moved onto Vertanice IV, but they were there in force. The Prydian high command has decided that this is unacceptable and a strike force is being gathered for an invasion...

 

I do love the 2Hour Wargame rules. They're easy to play and very adaptable to whatever you want them to do. I'll sign off until the dropshops start landing...

Patrol Angis - the Shai Khan

So, here are the Khanate for Patrol Angis. These are the bad guys, but I love them.

Special characters

Legion Ordos

Legion Pioneer Ordos

Psycoborgs

Pugnus Light Tank squadron

I still have a bunch of these guys to paint, Warlords, a Malig Ordos and a couple of Magnus.  I will probably be adding the quite hilarious Malig vehicles as well as the Legion Canthus Monocycle. I will definitely be adding the new Canno tanks. The Khanate have some truly unique models in the line. Check out the Ion Age blog. It is chock full of fluff and updates on new product.

Patrol Angis - the Retained Knights

I discovered The Ion Age a while ago and really liked the retro feel of the minis. It was almost a full year before I finally pulled the trigger and bought some. I picked up some Khanate Legionnaires and Retained Knights from Nobleknight Games, the U.S. suppliers. They are an excellent company to deal with. Then the Khanate Return Book came out and I pre-ordered it. The service from The Ion Age in Scotland is incredible, usually get packages within 8 or 9 days. The game title is Patrol Angis and eventually I'm going to push some lead and throw some bones with them. I thought I'd share some pictures of some of the finished stuff.

First up are the Retained Knights of Prydia:

 

 

 

A few special characters.

 

Retained Lance

 

Retained Duxis Battlesuits Lance. Still have 3 more Battlesuits to paint.

 

 

Retained Knights

Duxis Battlesuits

Afara Walker

Corbal Deployable Handprint

 

A few of the pictures are blurry, sorry about that. I really love these minis and I have actually collected all the available Retained Knights. All except the Strategist that comes in the Lance pack. The Lance pack was out of stock at Noble Knight Games at the time and I decided to just pick up the individual posts instead. Still have more painting to do to finish them up. I also want to eventually get a couple of Mullos and the Taranis Main Battle Tank.  I'll put up pictures of the Khanate in another post.
