The Silverback is a huge, tracked tank destroyer, more massive even than one of the Slammers M2 blower tanks. It has a 25cm powergun as main armament, backed up by a pair of remote tri-barrel 2cm powerguns on each of the crew hatches. An assault-gun version has a twin over-under shotgun-style weapon which fires beehive canister rounds for clearing massed infantry attacks.
The Nonesuch National Guard are the primary users of the Silverback – they also use smaller tracked vehicles, the Falchion and Fauchard, which we released last year. The NNG appear in the story Paying the Piper, which can be found in the third volume of collected Hammer's Slammers stories by David Drake. They get a bit of a pasting from the Slammers – but then again, who doesn't?
Also new, we have some skimmers to get your infantry zipping about the battlefield at top speed. These are small, one-man hover vehicles used by some infantry units in the Hammer's Slammers universe, either in place of or as a supplement to normal APCs.
There are two options for the skimmer crew – a British infantryman or a PacFed one in full heavy armor. Both come in packs of four two-piece skimmers and separate crew figures.
Units that use skimmers in the Hammerverse include the Wolverines, Anders Legion, and the Eaglewing (the Slammers regiment themselves also use skimmers – you can already buy those from Ground Zero Games).
