Grima Combat Robot Gun Team new 28mm Ion Age

In the vast echoing expanse of the Vanda hydrogen refinery’s wide primary conducting corridor, two Grima Combat Robots stood vigilant, their angular, matte-white frames scarred from past engagements and faintly aglow under the harsh flicker of overhead lights. They flanked a hovering Espaten gun platform which mounted a formidable Valerin laser cannon thrumming with a low, menacing hum, its barrel traced with pulsing lines of blue energy. Cables snaked along the walls, hissing with the faint whine of pressurized air, water and other fluids. The Militia controller in charge of the robots was a hundred metres further down the corridor behind a thick barricade.  She angled the control unit into line of sight and issued commands to the waiting machines. “Enemy approaches….Hold Position...Rapid Fire...Avoid Overheat...Pin the Enemy...Enemy is Malig.”

The Grima Gunner’s multifaceted optical sensors whirred in sync, clicking as they tracked the guttural snarls and staccato clatter of Maia 9.6mm gunfire echoing off the reinforced walls, the goblins’ hunched, sinewy forms bursting into view through a haze of distortion from flung smoke grenades. Yelling they sprayed wild bursts from their weapons.  “Enact Programme...Proceed.” 

With a sharp whine, the floating Espanten platform’s cannon came to life and its muzzle flaring. The second Grima, keeling directed the searing Valerin beam which carved through the front wave; vaporizing goblins mid-stride. Then, adjusted the angle, the robots unleashing a second blast that scorched a jagged line across the Goblins; silencing a chorus of Maia fire in a burst of molten flesh. The twin Grima Combat Robots remained unyielding, their servos hissing amid the acrid tang of burnt metal and flesh.  More Maligs were coming...a lot more.

New releases in the 28mm scale Ion Age this week as we add a requested code to the line up of Grima Combat Robots in the service of the Prydian Precinct.  Alongside gun teams for Retained Knights and Planetary Militia we have the first of two for these programmable soldiers.  The new two miniature gun team ‘man's’ the Portable Weapon as seen above and can be had as the pack or as singles like the range of the mighty range.

IB96 Grima Gun Team (IA281,IA282). This pack contains two 28mm scale metal miniatures.

We have gun teams for Retained Knights, Muster and Planetary Militia which go well with all the Portable Weapon Platforms.

We have over thirty poses of Grima Combat Robot along with a four man male and four female control team for them.  Platoon packs offer the best value though the range is in packs and all as single poses too.

Malig Space Goblins the most numerous and expendable troops of the alien Shia Khan Empire. The new ones were sculpted by Sam Croes.

Work this year continues on The Ion Age and new editions of MOTH and Firefight to support the growth of the 28mm range.  News on this as it happens of course but for now we wish to thank you for the support of Alternative Armies and our space opera setting.  This is our sole release news in this scale and setting for February 2025.

Thanks for your Time
