I may be behind the times...but I've just spotted this as an upcomming release:
http://www.airfix.com/airfix-products/new-for-2013/military-vehicles-and-dioramas/a07300-bae-warrior-148-a07300/
There are a few other bits of modern British kit on the way too inc. quadbikes and vehicle crews.
-
Looks great.
will be interested in the model when it come out.
-
Its £22.
Imprint do one in resin for £20. Admittedly it hasn't got the cage armour on the sides, but I am going to bet it will be a lot more durable for gaming.
-
The Imprint one IS really nice - I had a good close-up look at one last weekend - plenty of weight. BUT it is always nice to see new kits.
-
It's the quad I have high hopes for.
-
Eureka and Empress both do quad bikes for 28mm. The real gap in the market is an Ozzy Osbourne crew figure.
-
I got to have a look at a completed one of these yesterday at a model show - Airfix had a stand there where they were previewing some of their upcoming releases. I didn't see any indication of when it will be released, but it looked like a production kit not a pre-production mock up, so I suspect that it will be out sooner rather than later.
First off it was a very impressive size - it is a BIG vehicle, probably substantially bigger than the Imprint version.
The 30mm Rarden looked like it might be a little fragile and might need replacing for clumsy wargamers.
It APPEARS that you get a basic Warrior and then that the additional armour packages can be added on on top of this up to the current bar armour package.
-
this is seriously starting to tempt me into going modern or near future
if Airfix continues to expand their Afghanistan range
the pep text for the Warrior already mentions the 7 variants....
man....
anyone tried the coyote and jackal kits?

Wasn't IPMS at Cosford was it? I saw it there too, very tasty. Meant to ask about chances of a BV/Viking but forgot o_o
Looked like the Bar armour was plastic like the rest of the kit. Quad bike said to be an end of year release, so not as soon as hoped. I asked about the possibility of some opposition for the Brits, but was told they weren't sure if that was the 'right' thing to do. Guess they don't want the wargaming £ after all :?

Maybe...I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you...and rumors that I live only 10 minutes drive away are completely untrue...
-
Ipms is usually at Cosford, been once, enjoyed it, haven't had chance to go again
But this I am desperate for, can't wait to get one when able to afford it.
