"Presenting His Illustrious Majesty." The little man was now pointing the megaphone directly at her. The Knight of All Colors, Lord High of the Chintz Gates, Protector of the Free Peoples of Prydia, Keeper of the Key to Boldarity, Knower of No Fear, Master of His Command, and Noted Well Dresser – Lord Gaud D. Pompous.
Lord Pompous

Back in September last year, it was my pleasure to present to all the IonFans out there, the tale of a new hero in an article by our good friend Aris Kolehmainen. After this article was put online, it was downloaded some 3,000 times, and momentum grew for its titular character to be made into a miniature in his own right. Gathering support resulted in an agreement from us, and now Baron Pompous is released in all his splendor! Our only release for this month is now out!

Lord Pompous

IAF172 – Lord Pompous

This code contains one 15mm scale, white-metal miniature in kit form, composed of a body with two separate heads. Dressed in customized and adorned Noblesse superheavy powered armor and cloak, Lord Pompous is armed with a Moth Type 12 Multi Launcher. Heads are supplied in helm (as shown) and bareheaded, giving a choice of build. Refer to the free article. Not supplied with a base (shown on a 20mm round base), and supplied unassembled and unpainted. £2.00 GBP

The Interview

Enjoy a tale set in The Ion Age, a free article by our good friend Aris Kolehmainen. An interview with a hero of the Desteria Knights who is not quite what he seems. A fine read, and it is followed by game statistics for using the character of Lord Pompous in your games. Click here to download this free, four-page article from our website. The Interview contains a first-person story, as well as game rules.

Special offer

The Desteria Knights are the superheavy infantry of the Prydian Army, and of the Marcher Barons and the mercenary Condots. Used to crack the hardest targets, they carry the firepower of several Retained Knights, and can withstand punishment which would destroy any lesser soldier. We have a great-value platoon pack of Desteria Knights, which contains an additional free miniature unique to that code. We also have two trooper packs and a command pack of these mighty soldiers, which can all be seen on our website.

We hope you like this new miniature, and if you would like to make suggestions for future releases or characters, please do tell us on info@theionage.com.

There will be further new releases next month, and our month-long offer in January is a discount on all Desteria Knight packs.

Thanks for Reading!
