Among the ranks of the Retained Knights, you will find the Burgeon. These knights are as adamant about the Code Gallant as any other but they take upon themselves an additional vow of loyalty that is beyond the duty of any others. For the Burgeon are the masters of the steeds. They are the riders of an animal which has no heart or legs but rather instead has an engine and thrusters which beat with as much if not more power than any creature's could. The Burgeon ride into battle upon the semi-sentient Ventus Model Steeds a unique type of repulsar and other bikes.

Retained Burgeon Bike

We present the first new releases for the Ion Age range (28mm) of the Spring Mega Event (with the others shown later this month). Our first 28mm scale vehicle in the range! Get the pack or each piece on its own.

Spring Mega Event

Spring Mega Event until 6th May at Alternative Armies. 50 new codes, blanket 20% auto off all orders, and the current new free model in every order shipped. See this article for the full details, or visit our website and browse our thousands of choices in 28mm, 15mm and 6mm through sci-fi to fantasy and historical.

IB87 – Retained Burgeon Bike

Retained Burgeon Bike

The Retained riders of the semi-sentient steed, the Ventus. A sleek and speedy vehicle. The regiments of the Prydian Army and the Marcher Barons alike have platoons that are mounted on bikes for added mobility and firepower. Few have the reliability and rugged survive-ability of the Model 207. Used for scouting missions as well as battle roles, it is popular with its riders. The value pack has a saving, and contains the resin one-piece bike, along with a metal Retained Knight rider (requires assembly) and a 60mm-long textured bike base. As well as the value pack, the other new codes are IA246 Burgeon Bike and IA247 Retained Knight Rider, if you wish these on their own.

IB97 – Bike Base

Bike Bases

This value pack contains four identical resin bases of 3mm thickness with a saving. Each has a textured top, ideal for 28mm bikes, and cartouche edging (just as our other resin bases) makes for easy lifting. The bases are 60mm long and 25mm wide.

Retained Knight Lance

If you wish to field the forces of the Retained on your table, there are a great many of them to choose from, such as one from IB70 Retained Knight Gun Team above. See the website range for 'Retained' on a filtered seek of value packs and all as singles. There are also 'Platoon Packs' which each contain two additional free poses. IAP01 Retained Knight Lance gives you sixteen armored troops, paying for fourteen of them.

Work continues on MOTH 2.0, which will include game rules for smaller vehicles such as Bikes, Portable Weapons, and Battlesuits like those found in Patrol Angis.

Thanks for Your Time!
