SLA Industries unveil the Augustus and Romulus


SLA Industries Presents:

Augustus Luxury Car

Romulus Stretched Limo

“I like driving in my car.. Its not quite a Jaguar”

Since we began the CS1 project back in 2016, we have been asked about Vehicles in the World of Progress. Up until now, we have not been ready to add vehicles into the CS1 tabletop setting, although they were an integral part of the original RPG back in ’93. A few months ago – Mark Rapson, of Wordforge Route 66 approached us (he also casts many of our miniatures) as a number of Our customers were purchasing his awesome Dominator Vehicle to go with their Shiver Patrols!

He even did us a wee Turret swap and replaced the Route 66 weapon with a Traditional SLA Shiver Reaper Cannon – and we sold a stack of them! A few dozen in fact, even though there were no rules our fans loved it; clearly there is a desire for vehicles in the CS1 game.

Just after this – we have started working with a very talented new 3d Sculptor – John, whom specialises in Vehicles. He has designed the LARC VTOL for our sister company – Kore, and is working on a range of Vehicle based projects currently. We had a brief chat regarding the potential for Vehicles in SLA CS1 and decided to do a test piece, for this test piece we chose some original artwork from the RPG, from way back in ’93 we found the rather cool image of the Augustus.

This, to us, epitomises SLA – sleek, aggressive, lavish, expensive.. very stylised – the Augustus came as the SLA Operative owned and driven Augustus or the long wheelbased Romulus Stretched Limo for those Operatives who preferred to be chauffeured around.

 

Over the last few weeks John has (in addition to his other design work) “dabbled” with the above image, and the following 3d prints are the results..

Please note – the Land Raider is there only to give a sense of scale to this beast of a Vehicle. This is the Augustus – favoured by successful Operatives for its aggressive styling and sheer luxury.

This is the 32mm 3d printed prototype, and will be going into production next week – closely followed by its big brother, the Romulus.

 

The twin axle, stretched Limo is the final word in Lavish. It matches unparalleled performance with safety and luxury and is the ultimate Rich Ops toy. The model is a WIP and needs a bit more detailing, but you can see from the above photo that it is BIG, easily the length of a Land Raider.

Space Marine for scale purposes only – its nearly the height of a Marine and offers superb cover!

 

 

We have been asked how the driver can see out of that tiny front windscreen – the Augustus / Romulus come with an advanced sensor bundle and multi optics which are all tied directly back to the Driver / pilot in the cockpit. A fully integrated Control system gives her unparalleled data and is updated constantly, offering the cutting edge in Drive systems – a skilled Pilot can produce exceptional levels of manoeuvrability and agility from this large and high powered vehicle, which is capable of performing at levels that most combat pilots envy. Feaney doesn’t bother with all of that, he just opens the window..

 

Ladies and Gentlemen.. start your engines..

 

Both the Augustus and the Romulus will be in full production in the next week or so and be up for Pre order shortly! We will post a link a little nearer the time.
