HOF28 Charger APC multi-role vehicle released!

HOF28 Charger Armoured Personnel Carrier with Turret.
It is the year 2100 and the Resource Wars are in full swing on Earth.  Nations feud to take what they can from a dying world that is all out of succour for her greedy children.  The richer power blocks have established small colonies on Mars and on the Moon in partial terraforming and in dome.  While the use of nuclear and chem-bio weapons is outlawed it is more out of fear than respect of life.  War is everywhere and the battle lines are in field and city both.   For the winners there will be places among the stars a series of Human Colonies and for the losers only the arid taste of the towering exhaust of plumes of the mighty Ark Ships that are even now being built.  Welcome to the year 2100.

HOF28 with HOF104 SFA Elite Trooper for scale.
HOF28 Charger APC Kit  (6.00GBP)
This pack contains the resin and white metal pieces to assemble one 15mm scale Charger vehicle kit as an APC or turreted APC variant.  The Charger is the workhorse military and police transporter of the Human Colonies and Security Force Alpha.  Designed as a feature of the Human Colonial Army template in Alien Squad Leader 2.0 it is equally at home in any near future or such game system.  Parts are: Charger Hull, Charger Wheel Unit, Turret and Top Hatch (a choice of two configurations), Cannon Barrel and Non Lethal Barrel (a choice of two weapon options), a pair of hatch covers and a twin launcher unit which can be sited anywhere on the vehicle. Approx 60mm long and 30mm tall (without turret) when assembled.  Easy to assemble and great value. Make yours a military vehicle or law vehicle and choose pure APC or infantry fighting vehicle. The Charger is part of Security Force Alpha (SFA) in the HOF Range.  From battles to peace keeping or law enforcement roles it suits them all. HERE.

HOF28 Parts in the Pack.
Choose from a pack or three packs (saving 10% automatically on the price) supplied unpainted and without bases.  Some assembly required.  Mono image shows parts.  Image with HOF104 SFA Elite Trooper is for scale only as is image with SHM66 Skorath and miniatures not supplied.

The Charger is very adaptable and can be assembled in several ways for many uses.  Here are some examples all from the parts in HOF28:

HOF28 Police Charger with non-lethal turret variant.

HOF28 Police Charger APC Variant front view
We wanted this vehicle to be able to carry out many roles and have a unique near future adaptable look.  I think we have managed this.  Here is a link to the concepting post on the Charger.

All across the Human Colonies and on Terra itself there is a need for security after, during and even before the high rollers and expensive kit arrives in the battle zone. Security Force Alpha is just that force filling in as police, paramilitaries, mercenaries and planetary militias too. They are the faceless grunts that do the thankless jobs needed by all those who govern, control or enforce. Use them as you will from the near to the far future!

The SFA range contains more than fifty different poses of 15mm white metal miniatures and vehicles allowing a wargamer to assemble a cohesive force for their campaigns. A whole integrated range within HOF which will be expanded even more
