September Releases From Ground Zero Games

GZG keeps the world of 15mm scifi filling up with the release of a heap of packs for new stuff including new sculpts for Kra'vak and a ton of new human troops.


September's New Releases:


SIX new packs for the Pan-African Union (PAU):



SG15-P20 Pan-African Union Command and Comms troops in Jungle Caps - 8 figures, 2 each of 4 poses.



SG15-P21 Pan-African Union Weapons Teams with Heavy Rotary Machineguns, crew in Jungle Caps - 2 teams, each of MG, mount and two crew (gunner and spotter/loader).


SG15-P22 Pan-African Union Weapons Teams with RAM Mortars, crew in Jungle Caps - 2 teams, each of mortar, baseplate and two crew (fire controller and loader).


 SG15-P23 Pan-African Union Special Forces in bush hats - Team A - 8 figures, 2 each of 4 poses (3 with rifles, 1 with SAW).




SG15-P24 Pan-African Union Special Forces in bush hats - Team B - 8 figures, 2 each of 4 poses (3 with rifles, 1 with SAW).


SG15-P25 Pan-African Union (PAU) Mounted Special Forces in bush hats on terran-stock horses - pack contains 2 horses (different poses) and 2 riders (different poses).

The last three packs, of Special Forces, are all in floppy bush-hats and some of the figures are bearded…. they will not only serve for their designed purpose but will also mix in really well with our Mercs line and various other "irregular" type forces.




While on the subject of the Mercs, there are FOUR new packs of those out, all in combat helmets with half-visors:



SG15-M07 Mercs rifles pack F (helmets) - 8 figures, 2 each of 4 sculpts: all male figures, with various rifles, all in combat helmets with eye shield visor lowered.


SG15-M08 Mercs rifles pack G (helmets) - 8 figures, 2 each of 4 sculpts: all female figures, with various rifles, all in combat helmets with eye shield visor lowered.


SG15-M09 Mercs squad support pack with SAWs/LMGs (helmets) - 8 figures, 2 each of 4 sculpts: male and female figures advancing, male and female figures prone firing, all in combat helmets with eye shield visor lowered.


SG15-M10 Mercs squad support pack with RPGs/LAWs (helmets) - 8 figures, 2 each of 4 sculpts: mix of male and female figures in combat helmets with eye shield visor lowered, two with RPGs and two with Light Antitank Weapons.





Then we have the new Aliens…..





SG15-K10 NEW SCULPT Kra'Vak Infantry (Adult Male Warriors with K-rifles) - 8 figures, 2 each of 4 sculpts. SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY OFFER - for a very limited period, each K10 pack will contain 2 extra FREE castings of a K'V Warrior with a rapid-fire support K-gun!

(Please note that pack K10 and subsequent new K codes are totally new sculpts of our Kra'Vak aliens, and are slightly larger (and with different weapon designs) than our original K01, K02, K03 and K05 packs. The new versions are intended to represent the fully-developed adult male stage of the K'V life cycle - for any of you who wish to continue using the earlier figure codes along with the new ones, we would suggest that the original packs represent the "juvenile" stage of the Warriors, with a slightly smaller stature!)






SG15-X30 Xar ("Chitters") aliens with Beam Rifles - three two-part figures (leg base and upper body), all body/head/weapon poses different.

The start of a NEW range of aliens.... the Xar have been known to the Kra'Vak for some time and their worlds have an uneasy co-existence with the Kra'Vak Dominion, sometimes fighting alongside K'V forces and sometimes against them. The name "Xar" is a humanised pronunciation (similar to "Czar/Tsar") of the Kra'Vak name for them, Xa'Arr; their own name for themselves is completely unpronouncable to humans, as Xar speech is a rapid string of high-pitched chirps, which has led human troops to nickname them "chitters".

This first pack of Xar with beam rifles will shortly be followed by further releases with leaders/officers, support and heavy weapons and more!



………….


Following all the infantry and aliens, we have the new hardware…...

The new variants of the Bulldog trucks are up with two new chassis options, the Tri-Track high mobility tread system (V15-110A, B, C) and the Fan-Truck GEV variants (V15-111A, B, C) - both types available with Personnel Carrier (A), Command Van (B) and Cargo Van (C) bodies as used in V15-42A, B and C respectively. You'll notice that I don't yet have photos up of each separate variant, that is temporary till I get the chance to assemble display models of each type…



V15-110C Bulldog Tri-Track (Cargo Van body C):


V15-111C Bulldog Fan-Truck (Cargo Van body C):



The new Hornet Drones are available in either Fan (V15-108) or Grav (V15-109) types, both with a vicious little "sting in the tail" courtesy of a rapid-fire tribarrel! Each pack contains TWO drone kits, including cast bases (you need to provide your own lengths of thin wire for the "flying" support).



V15-108 Hornet Drones (Fan):




V15-109 Hornet Drones (Grav):




In the V15-ACC Accessories range we have SEVEN new packs of weapon mounts and mini-turrets, all ideal for conversions and extra weapon mounts on our own vehicle range or indeed anyone else's; the seven codes are:


V15-ACC23 Remote mini-turret type A - single autocannon - pack contains SIX one-piece turrets with single barrel autocannon.


V15-ACC24 Remote mini-turret type B - rotary (gatling) MG - pack contains SIX one-piece turrets with rotary heavy machinegun.


V15-ACC25 Remote mini-turret type C - Flame or Water Cannon - pack contains SIX one-piece turrets with single projector for either flamethrower or water-cannon.


V15-ACC26 Remote mount type D - single autocannon - pack contains FOUR two-piece weapon systems each of single barrel autocannon and mount.


V15-ACC27 Remote mount type E - plasma gun - pack contains FOUR two-piece weapon systems each of single barrel Plasma Cannon and mount.


V15-ACC28 Remote mount type F - twin machineguns - pack contains FOUR three-piece weapon systems each of mount and pair of heavy machineguns.
