The Core Systems Ghulams hire themselves out as fully equipped combat brigades, which of oourse includes vehicles such as the Core Systems Laser Tank. The CSG sell this hardware as well, and one common user of their vehicles is the Jo-li Freehold, which has heavily invested in the tough, reliable mid tech CS vehicles for the fearsome Control Battalions.

Now this is a ways off -- it hasn't even been printed yet. But some of the Core Systems codes will be released very soon, so we thought you'd like to see this too….

That looks awesome!!! :D

Looks fantastic. Reminds me of the old Battle Isle video games.

Never heard of that before.

Very nice beastie. I like the quad gun arrangement very much. Would you consider making it available separately?

Here are the other two variants -- the Core Systems Main Battle Tank:

Wow wow wow! If only I wasn't moving over the next few weeks… or better yet, thank goodness I am moving over the next few weeks. With any luck these will be ready for release soon after I finish with it all!

They haven't been printed yet, so they are a ways off. Glad you like them though!

Sweet! I need to take a second job so I can keep up with your release schedule!

I'm loving these, but I would want to add an armoured shroud to the drivers position.

Chatticus Finch16 Nov 2014 6:10 a.m. PST

Dude I love pretty much everything you're making right now. If only we could find a way to clone you/ build you an army of replicator robots to build these for you haha!

The modularity of the design is quite nice.

Any idea how this will scale up to the Transporter?

Redroom16 Nov 2014 9:38 a.m. PST

I like all of these designs

khurasanminiatures16 Nov 2014 10:39 a.m. PST

Core Systems armoured fighting vehicles are smallish with a crew of two usually, and are most recognisable for their low, prowling hulls. The transporter has to be larger and taller to carry the Ghulams (or whomever) and as they are wheeled rather than tracked they need higher ground clearance. So the transporter is significantly larger.

Eli Arndt16 Nov 2014 11:07 a.m. PST

It looked like it might be, but that is by no means a bad thing.

The Transporter has a great, almost classic scifi vibe to it and reminds me of something would roll out of Star Frontiers.

The tanks look excellent and also like they would fit in with a lot of different forces.

OMG- the TSD is a SLAM 24!! I need more dice!!

The main battle tank just screams Rail gun cannon.

Damn! will you let me paint the minis I have before you come out with new cool stuff??? :(

The main battle tank just screams Rail gun cannon.

One was made but I'm not sure I'm going to make it.

kenohhkc17 Nov 2014 6:39 a.m. PST

These are terrific. They will go great with the Control Battalion forces. Can't wait for the transporter.

TK 42117 Nov 2014 8:24 a.m. PST

If you make it, they will buy it.

"If you make it, they will buy it."

Funny how often that DOESN'T work in miniatures grin

We all love to see more of a good thing, but I hear from a lot of producers about instances where there was a lot chatter and apparent interest in something only to have it fall flat upon release.

I'm sure if the vehicles do well expansions will come out. That's the best way for these things to work.
