The Enforcers are getting some shiny new flyers but the forces of the Forge Father Star Realm are going to be rolling heavy with tanks!
Yes, Space Dwarves…. The Squats aren’t dead. They just switched game universes to become the Forge Father Star Realm. Mantic is happy to announce that they will finally be getting heavy armored vehicles. All this was revealed on their Developer’s blog and , needless to say, gamers are thrilled. You may be wondering as to the time table for when these tanks will be rolling out. They are up for pre-order now and will begin shipping after August 18th when Mantic returns from GenCon. Now, let’s take a look at some of the keypoints from the Mantic Blog concerning these new vehicles.
STURNHAMMER BATTLE TANK: $39.99
The mighty Sturnhammer is the Main Battle Tank of the Forge Fathers. Heavily armed and armoured, this indomitable vehicle is the bane of GCPS commanders across the galaxy. Even Enforcer Commanders have learned to swiftly prioritize a Sturnhammer’s destruction, for even one of these tanks can cripple armoured support or suppress enough infantry to render any kind of battleplan useless.his is a beautifully detailed hard plastic kit, measuring 12cm long, 8cm wide and 5 cm high (not including the turret) – large enough to be a suitably imposing force on the battlefield. As you’d expect of one of the most technologically advanced races in the galaxy, the Sturnhammer kit is built to be adaptable to many roles. Each Sturnhammer is outfitted with either an anti-infantry Heavy Hailstorm Autocannon, or an anti-armour Heavy Magma Cannon.
Alternatively, if you favour getting up close and personal with your enemies, you can build the Brandr Urban Assault Vehicle, which mounts a Heavy Dragonbreath Flamethrower and Dozer Blade. The Brandr is also capable of carrying up to five infantry.
For transporting their line infantry, the Forge Fathers rely on the sturdy Drakkar APC. Capable of transporting up to 10 infantry, the Drakkar not only protects its passengers from harm, but also makes up for the Forge Fathers’ naturally slower pace.
HULTR HALF-TRACK: $24.99
When supported by the Forge Father Weapons Platforms and the smaller Hultr Half-tracks, a Forge Father army can bury its opponent under a fusillade of firepower, while surging across the battlefield with unexpected speed. Powerful engines and adaptable treads allow the Hultr Half-Track to react to the flow of battle fluidly, supporting the Forge Father lines with its Hailstorm or Magma Cannon.
