The Future Shape of Things to Come © is here now!

Type 15 Superheavy Grav Tank (this model is not currently available for sale, but we hope to release it soon)

We are pleased to announce a new range of High-Tech 15mm Grav Tanks and other Armored Vehicles for your gaming pleasure.

We believe that our vehicles are the state of the art in futuristic, Grav Armor technology, and are some of the nicest, and sleekest looking vehicles in the galaxy, if not the universe. 

We hope you will as well.

All of the models shown in the left hand margin, or on the list below are available in either the version with the cast-on circular surface detailing (called our AADS model), or our Smooth-Hulled variant (also referred to commonly as our Clean-Hulled variant).  

They have resin hulls and turrets, with metal detail parts (sensor periscopes, point defense weapons, main guns/lasers, etc.), and the Type 9 - 16 Tanks are currently available for sale now.    Sorry, these are no longer eligible for the special Pre-Order Discount Deal, but the models listed below still are.

The others will be available for delivery by the end of the month. We are taking pre-orders for them now, and offering special incentives to kick off our range of vehicles, e.g. discounted platoon pack pricing on the Type 7, 8, and 21 - 24 models, free or discounted shipping, and free Nap of the Earth (NOE) flight stands with the purchase of platoon, or section packs, as listed below, through the end of February 2010. 

Customers living in the USA will receive free shipping with the purchase of one or more platoon packs of the following models:  Types 7 and 8, and 21 - 24.  International customers will receive 50% off their shipping (minimum charge of $6.00 for shipping non-platoon pack purchases, or for international shipments).

Type 13 Heavy Grav Tank with Active Armor Defense System ©

“The Future Shape of Things to Come” © in Grav Armor will be dropping in from orbit soon, to wreak havoc on all that oppose them.

These super high-tech, streamlined grav vehicle designs no longer need gravitic repulsor pods underneath, or alongside their hulls, which were very vulnerable to damage on the early models.  Now, a single, flat, oval-shaped repulsor pod on the bottom of the vehicle’s hull provides all of the lift and propulsion necessary.  The advanced streamlining of these designs permits these tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and other units to zip along through the air at just under Mach 1, fly at 200 MPH at NOE level, or enter the atmosphere at up to Mach 3.0, when dropping to the planet’s surface.

We have received the masters for Range 1 of our 15mm Sci-Fi Grav Armor vehicles, and they look superb, so we have given the go ahead for production to begin (see the photos of them to the left).

The hulls and turrets are cast in a tough, polyurethane resin, and most of the accessory items (gun barrels, periscope masts, missile tubes, point defense weapons, etc.) will be cast in metal.  For the separate appliqué pieces for the smooth-sided vehicles, those will be produced in resin.

The following items will be available for delivery in the next few weeks, e.g. the Type 7, 8, and 21 - 24 models.  Our Type 9 - 16 models are available now, with the exception of the Type 12 and Type 15 models, which are still in development.

Two hull and turret options will be available for many of the above vehicles, e.g. one type with circular surface detailing already cast onto the hulls (designated with an “A” behind the Type number designation, e.g. Type 13A Heavy Grav Tank with Active Armor © , and as shown in most of the photos to the left), for your convenience, or a clean, smooth-sided finish (like the orange Superheavy Grav Tank shown above).  The former can represent an active/passive defense launcher system, and/or reactive/ablative armor.  The active/passive defense launcher systems consists of:

1. large shotgun-like, canister shells, which fire automatically to defeat incoming shells and missiles, or enemy infantry (friendly infantry have IFF chips, to keep them from being targeted);
2. smoke/chaff launchers which both obscure the target, and degrade or defeat lasers and other energy weapons being fired at the vehicle;
3. small, micro-missiles, which can attack infantry, vehicles, or other targets;
4. other top-secret defenses which we are not permitted to discuss openly (rumors of launchers carrying chemical agents, nerve gas, and radioactive materials are commonplace);

As mentioned, the circular surface detailing can also represent ablative, appliqué, or reactive armor plates instead, if you prefer.

You get to decide what fits in with your Sci-Fi background.

For the smooth sided vehicles, we may provide separate detailing items for you to apply to the sides of the turrets and hulls, as desired, in the future. 

Business end of a plasma gun on a Type 13 Heavy Grav Tank.  Few enemies that see this view live to tell the tale. 

Through 2/28/2010, we are offering a Pre-Order Discount Deal on our platoon packs:

USA customers – our discounted platoon (or section, on some vehicle models) pricing; free shipping, and a free set of nap of the earth (NOE) flight bases (and magnets to mount them with) for your vehicles.  These clear bases raise the vehicles slightly off the tabletop, so that they can be shown to be in a low hovering configuration.

International customers - our discounted platoon (or section, on some vehicle models) pricing; 50% off shipping, and a free set of nap of the earth (NOE) flight bases (and magnets to mount them with) for your vehicles.

This Pre-Order Discount Deal applies only to the following models, e.g. the Type 7, 8, and 21 - 24 models. 

The deal for the other Tanks (Types 9 - 16) expired at the end of January.  You can still purchase these with the other models, and receive free/discounted shipping on them as well, as long as you purchase at least a Platoon Pack of the ones included in this month's current deal.

When ordering, just specify the quantity and type of units you want, by their designation number, e.g. 4 x Type 13A (equals a platoon pack of the Heavy Grav Tanks with cast-on Active Armor); 2 x Type 8S (equals a section pack of the AA Point Defense/Light Mortar Vehicles, with a Smooth Hull finish), etc. in an e-mail message to me.  I will total everything up, and send you an invoice for the items.

A = AADS Circular Detailing on the models

S = a Smooth-surfaced hull and turret.

They will be shipped out to you, as soon as they drop in from the orbiting planetary assault vessels.  Orders will be filled on a first in, first out basis.

We accept Paypal and US Postal Money Orders for payment (e-mail me if you prefer to use the latter, for our payment processing address).

I will also be happy to answer any questions about the range you may have.

Note - vehicles purchased individually, or those not on special, will not include the clear NOE bases, or magnets to attach them with, and will be charged our standard shipping rates.

One of the great features of our Grav Armor range is the ability for you to easily customize them for the desired look you are after.  With our magnetic turret mounting system, the turrets will remain securely attached to the vehicles, and yet can be easily rotated.

In addition, you can move the turrets fore and aft along the centerline of their hulls for a custom look, depending upon which profile you think looks best for them.  Look closely at the comparison photos below, for an idea of how our Type 9 Light Tank can be finished.

 Type 9 Light Grav Tank with turret placed far forward on the hull.

 Type 9 Light Grav Tank with its turret placed a bit more to rearward. The difference is subtle from the image above, but is more apparent when viewed from other angles.

Type 9 Light Grav Tank with its turret placed far to the rear.  This position is more easily visible when compared against the ones shown above.  We think placing the turrets to the rear of the vehicle makes them look like they are faster.

If desired, it is possible to mount a couple of magnets in the hull, front to rear along the centerline, in order to permit you to shift the position of your turrets, at a moment's notice, for a different look.

Prepping the models for painting and gaming is easier than many on the market, since minimal assembly of these is required (turrets and hulls are solid, single piece castings).  You just need to lightly sand any mold lines down, and install the magnets into the hulls, and turrets as desired.  Then glue on the weapons, and other accessories, or attach them with magnets instead.  Most of our vehicles come with a choice of an extended, or retracted sensor periscope (a half dome for the latter model), and a point defense weapon.  You can also leave all of these off, for a more sleek version of your vehicle, as depicted in the photos immediately above - just fill in the hole with a bit of putty, or super glue/epoxy. 

We recommend washing all of the parts, turrets, and hulls in warm, soapy water, after sanding, in order to provide clean surfaces for your primer, or paint to adhere to.

We will provide you with a detailed set of instructions via e-mail, to assist you with assembling these models, after your purchase.
