Havelock Battlesuit of Castella and Offer


This is Sam Croes prototype Havelock Battlesuit painted up in the colours of his own Marcher Baron force; Castella.  Castella is a small one star system Barony allied loosely to Prydia and an enemy of both Canlaster and Yordan.  There is one inhabitable planet in the system ruled over by the great aged Baroness Maud who takes to the field in a suit of highly customised Desteria powered armour.  Castellan knights are well trained and have seen action in many campaigns and recently a fabricators right was given to Castella to make its own battlesuits on Prydian patterns.  You can see an example of this above.  You will see more of Castella in coming months as it is the force that Sam intends to make his own in our battles!


Back in 2012 when the discussions about The Ion Age becoming a reality there was a lot of work done on concepts for the Prydian Precinct.  Some of these concepts have become white metal and resin reality and some more of them will become so in times to come.  But the Havelock Battlesuit that you are all familiar with is actually the second version of the design.  The first version which features in the top image is not very different but among the differences is the lack of the smooth mounting point for the top Anda Missile Pod which we added later and minor modifications on joints and plating.  There are very few of the first version and Sam Croes decided to claim them for himself!


As it is our birthday month we have decided to make a 10% off offer on the IAF020 Havelock Battlesuit all five variants.  Just add to cart if you like the look of this brawler that supports Muster formations in the field. Discount is already applied.  Oh, and that also applies to the 'buy three save 10%' bundle which is now actually 20% off!  This offer runs to months end.

Lastly remember that since its our birthday month as well as the monthly free miniature in all orders (IMP12 Starvaulter Instructor) you also get some free items from our range worth about 10% of your order value too.  You sign up for an account with our website and you gain Reward Points on all purchases which you can use later for discounts and more!  Excellent.

Thanks for Reading.

  2. I really like these suits. It only is a shame the mighty fist seems to be part of the main body. Otherwise some easy repositioning could be done to make each suit look unique.

    1. Hello Edgar. Many people are like you and have a number of Havelocks but nine is impressive! You have been spoilt for choice this month with the Year One Collection, The Geo Shelters, The Corbal Tower and another release this week too. Lots going on.
