I nabbed a box of these teeny tiny little tanks as part of a WWIII British formation which I’m putting together, specifically for an FV432 Mechanised Company. As you can never have enough Milan missiles in an army, and as I’d already got myself the additional Milan Teams for the platoons as well as an FV432 Milan Section, this was the only other place to turn for more anti-tank guided missile goodness!
As usual, I ordered them through Wayland Games, my go-to supplier for a huge chunk of my gaming purchases.
Contents
The box contains four identical sprues, each of which can build one of the following: a Spartan transport, a Striker anti-tank guided missile carrier, a Blowpipe anti-aircraft carrier (the Blowpipe gunner is a separate, metal model supplied with the kit), or a Spartan MCT (Milan Compact Turret) anti-tank guided missile vehicle. That’s a decent amount of options for such a small box!
The only downside is that there are neither Unit Cards nor decals included; the Unit Cards should be only a minor inconvenience for anyone who has the rulebook/digital formation/cards pack, but the lack of decals may be more of an issue for those who like to stretch their modelling legs, or just want the kit to paint or display.
Summary
Although the lack of Unit Cards is a bit of a letdown, it’s unsurprising as Battlefront are trying to move away from that particular model. The absence of decals is the real issue here, but overall these look like great little miniatures, and I’m looking forward to putting them together.
