Ion Age Retained Squires - 28mm Sci-Fi Miniatures

Ion Age Retained Squires

Retained Knights are the finest warriors the Prydian Precinct can call upon. Clad in Alwite powered armour, they can be born to the role or rise from the ranks of the Muster through exceptional service — the daughters of men are actively sought after for the skills they bring. Squires are set apart by their title, a rank that marks them as proven but still ascending, trusted with the weapons and missions that demand more than ordinary soldiers can give.

This code comprises four different poses of 28mm scale metal miniatures, each with a separate backpack. All four are bare-headed, making them outstanding centrepiece and character models as well as rank-and-file elite infantry. The pack covers heavy weapons, rifle, melee, and command roles in a single purchase.

This pack contains the following poses:

• IA190 Retained Squire, bare headed, carrying a modified Moth Type 12 heavy multi-launcher
• IA191 Retained Squire, bare headed, signalling the advance with an Angis 12.5mm Rifle
• IA192 Retained Squire, bare headed, wielding a powered Octa Sword
• IA193 Retained Squire, bare headed, running with an Angis 12.5mm Rifle

The Oldhammer Aesthetic

These sculpts carry that unmistakable character of classic British sci-fi miniature design — powered armour worn with the confidence of warriors who've earned it, and bare heads that give each figure a face and a story. The sword-wielding pose in particular has the kind of dynamic energy that makes it a natural squad leader or hero model. If you're chasing the Oldhammer aesthetic, these fit right in alongside your vintage collections. Their proportions and style make them natural companions for any retro-inspired sci-fi force.

Versatile Across Game Systems

Elite powered armour infantry with strong cross-system appeal across skirmish and larger games:

• Warhammer 40,000 / 40k: Excellent proxies for Space Marine Sergeants, Vanguard Veterans, or Sternguard — the bare heads, mixed weapons, and powered armour read immediately as elite infantry. The sword pose works especially well as a Sergeant or Champion model.
• Horus Heresy: Strong choices for Legion Veterans, Chosen, or Solar Auxilia Veletaris Storm Section — the multi-launcher and sword poses give you both fire support and assault options.
• Stargrave: Natural Captains, First Mates, or elite specialists — the bare heads make each figure feel like a named character rather than a generic crew member.
• Zona Alfa / Five Parsecs from Home: High-value individual operatives or small elite fireteams; the running pose anchors a dynamic skirmish group.
• One Page Rules (Grimdark Future): Drop them into any powered armour veteran or specialist role.
• Rogue Stars / Pulp Alley: Outstanding as named heroes, champions, or elite mercenaries in narrative-driven games — four distinct personalities in a single pack.
• The Ion Age (Patrol Angis / Firefight 2.0): Their native system — where they truly shine as the rising elite of the Prydian Army's finest formations.
