First Impressions - Sirrus Armoured Personel Carrier (APC)

 From Alternative Armies (Loud Ninja Games range) comes the Sirrus APC vehicle.

Good solid one-piece cast with good details, some bits for the guns and no mold lines. The APC is a bit on the smaller side.

First Impressions - Gremlin APC (Hover)

Image
 At long last another review of a new vehicle. Alternative Armies released a new range of hover vehicles a short while ago. The first one to be reviewed will be the Gremlin Hover APC. The kit is fairly straight forward and consists of a main chassis, a small turret (both made from resin) and two guns made from metal.  There is very little flash from the casting process on the mini. The tank itself is very detailed. The overall appearance is quite modern and IMHO would easily be a nice addition to a game like Hammer's Slammers. The chassis is about 85mm long, 55mm wide and tops at about 25mm (give or take 1 mm).

First Impressions - Lares-Class Fast Grav Tank

The final model from the latest delivery by Ravenstar Studios is the Lares-Class Fast Grav Tank (not to be confused with the Mercury-Class Fast Grav Tank from the same range which is stunningly similar). The model comes with a selection of four different cannons. Additionally, there is a small detailing bit that is to be glued to the rear of the hull. The quality of casting is on the same level as the two minis mentioned before. At the moment this concludes the review of Ravenstar models. There is another mini I would like to get my hands on .... a walker type tank. But this will be something to be ordered in the future.  Dimensions: length 90mm, width 50mm, height 30mm

First Impressions - Mage Grav Sled

Next up the Mage Grav Sled by Ravenstar Studios. It may be used as either a manned (scout?) vehicle or as an unmanned drone. It's a multi piece model made from resin with a chassis and various turrets to be added as you wish. The overall appearance deviates from the more angular shapes of other vehicles which makes it quite  suitable for a non-human armies. In this it is similar to the Cimexian vehicles which I reviewed a couple of posts back.  The details are quite nice but it requires some touching up and cleaning due to (very minor) flash in the grooves and on the smaller bits.  Dimensions: length 58mm, width 40mm, height chassis 15mm, height with turret varies
