The Heracles orbital deployment pod is a modular self contained defensive transport. Designed to be deployed from low orbit it hurtles through the air using its jets to slow it down at the last moment before it crashes into the ground. Although it’s not subtle it certainly allows a pair of fire teams to be deployed into a hostile environment whilst being exposed to the minimum of enemy flak. When it has landed it deploys its weapon’s turret and can be used as a defensive emplacement to defend the beachhead.

The Guild is receiving reinforcements! A motley crew of former Guild Legionnaires, smugglers, pirates, Empire soldiers and scum from across the galaxy. Lacking the specialized equipment of the Shadow Knights, they are still highly trained soldiers who pack a considerable punch.

The official blurb:

Whilst the Shadow Knights are the most famous bounty hunters, they are only some of the forces used by the Guild in battle. The independents often lack the equipment and training of the Shadow Knights but they are skilled fighters with many years experience. They make perfect scouts for the Legions, often possessing a local knowledge that makes them extremely valuable - and of course they are considerably cheaper than the BaraDyne Institute rates. Usually equipped with Sniper Rifles or extended range Laser Rifles they are well suited to dealing with enemy forces from a distance.For close up work they’ll use a variety of death dealing weapons including conventional, laser, and in very rare cases, plasma weapons.

As of yesterday, the 1st of September 2007, the CCG store has been taken down and all orders packed-to-be-mailed.

North American buyers will have to revert to the source for DRM miniatures and the buyers of the Command Horizon range have Olde Rivertowne Miniatures as an option.

On a side note I wish, on behalf of the EPICentre team (and anyone else wishong to comment this post), lots of luck to Pixelgeek and his family. We salute you!

In a shocking move EW releases plagued humanoids to rampage over our fields of battle…

EW’s third race, the Edenites, has just had its first release in the form of a zombie horde. The Zombies are available on the EW Online Store.

For 1 pack @ £3.95 you get (quoted from their online store): 50 Zombies (20 Adult Male, 10 Adult Female, 10 Female Children, 10 Male Children).

We advise all buyers to also invest in gasmasks and safety bunkers should your zombies begin to take control. Not recommended for childeren under the age of three due to small parts and gruesome details.

With the release of Aeronautica Imperialis the Epic community has seen a small increment in their range of miniatures, mainly airborne miniatures. However, the game of AI (luckily for us) allow ground units to shoot those dastardly pilots out of the sky.

Under the Ground Defences Heading, within the AI section of the FW Online Store we can see:

AERONAUTICA IMPERIALIS ORK FLAK WAGON 3 for £7 (available)

AERONAUTICA IMPERIALIS ORK FLAK GUNZ 3 for £6 (available)

AERONAUTIC IMPERIALIS IMPERIAL SABRE PLATFORMS 3 for £6 (available)

In addition to these new releases you can get your hands on awesome Eldar Firestorms and Imperial AA guns.

These are all the FW AI goodies that arent actually flyers.
