M116 Bunker Complex Scenery Pack


Hawk Wargames has a new Scenery Pack release today up for Pre-Order, that just came up on their website this morning. The M116 Bunker Complex Scenery Pack is now available with a shipping date of June 28th.


These models shown on the package were not painted when we last saw them at Valhalla in May, and if you missed this, I will post the video below that talks about them in detail with David Lewis. You will want to jump ahead to minute 4:27 for the new Bunkers.

The missions for these are not up on the site at the moment me writing this, but I have a feeling the guys at Hawk Wargames are up early this morning getting some work done. I would not be surprised if at the time of this article, the missions were available.

Here is a link to the new  M116 Bunker Complex Scenery Pack £35.00

Underground fortifications have been a cornerstone of defensive strategy for many centuries. On the war-torn Cradle Worlds and the United Colonies they are extremely common, especially in densely developed or militarised urban areas.

Often, only a few entrances betray the presence of massive subterranean structures at least as developed as the skyscrapers visible on the surface. This particular structure, the M116 Standard Bunker Entrance, is the most common visible element of underground military instillations across the Colonies and Cradle Worlds. Its design has changed little over the years due to its effectiveness, low cost and prodigious toughness. Indeed, the M116 is rated to survive the blast wave of a 10 Megaton nuclear detonation.

The M116 is also equipped with an integrated missile defence system, allowing occupying troops to fire upon aggressors without putting themselves in harm's way. In most situations, the only effective ways to eliminate dug in troops is to somehow get your own troops inside, where a vicious close quarter battle is certain to erupt!
