paints some Synths from the Fallout game.
Over the past couple of weeks, our Hammer's Slammers: The Crucible 15mm range has seen a large number of additions. No fewer than 15 new models have been added, with over 60 different variations of turret and weaponry. This opens up any number of mercenary units, and increases the detachment list options now available.
The releases are divided into four main groups. The first is the Viking recce halftrack, along with the associated Varningr trailer with MRL, calliope or cargo options. The Viking is used by both the Thunderbolt Division and Wolverines mercenary units.
We have three new tracked vehicles – the Kraus heavy tank used by the Lightning Division (and slightly different version called the Barzon, which is used by the Zaporoskiye Brigade), the Falchion light tank, and the Fauchard APC. Both of the latter come with multiple turret options, including artillery and mortar carrier. Both vehicles are used by several other army and mercenary forces.
Moving onto wheeled vehicles, we have three new models – the Odyssey, Catapult and Broadsword. The primary users of the first two are the Apex Dragoons, while the Broadsword is much more widely used, being fielded by the Han Black Banner Brigade and the Hindi Army, amongst others. The Odyssey and Catapult are both 6 x 6 vehicles, the Odyssey being an APC, while the Catapult is fitted out as heavier-weapons-carrying AFV. The Broadsword is a larger 8-wheeler, big enough to act as a tank when fitted with the right armament. Tank destroyer, multiple rocket launcher, and artillery versions all exist, along with more lightly armed infantry-carrier variants.
The largest models are the seven different variants of the Centurion Large Transport Vehicle family. Each vehicle is composed of multiple segments that are combined depending on the battlefield role. They are generally used as infantry transports, command, and communications vehicles, or in non front-line combat roles such as artillery, mortar or anti-missile, where their size again comes in useful, allowing them to carry more ammunition. They range from the smallest model, the stubby C400 utility carrier, up to the enormous articulated C4F6 and the C4H6 heavy artillery Hog. Many turret options are available, from a simple commander hatch with a tri-barrel, various light and heavy support weapons, through mortar and artillery turrets, calliopes, and on the C4H6 a huge 20cm artillery turret. At least nine different units are known to use different models of the Centurion family.
