This highly trained unit’s minis have a ton of customization options.

The Shivers are the police of SLA Industries that keep the peace on Mort, and make the will of SLA clear to the populace. They protect the SLA way of life; with force if needed. While they aren’t heavily armed or armored, they are highly trained and back one another up. They are the Peoples’ Protectors.

Within the group are the Shiver Elite – a highly trained and equipped force that is similar to SWAT. They bring more firepower and better armor to dangerous encounters that the Street Shivers can’t handle.

Daruma is producing some sweet new models for the elite unit that will be out May 27th.

Shiver Elite Pre-Order Special Bundle with Sgt. Rooker – £35.00

  • Shiver Elite Patrol
  • Sgt Rooker
  • FEN091
  • GA51 Finisher
  • BLA646 Buzzsaw
  • Extra weapons to customize your minis

These are our newest Resin Patrol, due for release later this month – the Shiver Elite come with a number of build options and spares, spares that can be used with pretty much any other Model in HARD armour such as Rooker, the Frothers, Topper, McNultie..

In highly detailed resin, these 32mm miniatures are gorgeous and pack a real punch on the tabletop.

Female Sgt – although she comes with several options we have given her a Std Issue Shiver Shotgun. She is not wearing her helmet – this is very much against regulations, but we suspect that she has heard that the 9th are Operating in the area and that Feaney may be leading them.. yes, he is technically an enemy of SLA, but what a guy.

The next Troopers also come with a variety of loadouts, but I like the simplicity of the Shotgun and Battle Picks. [They] suit the assault ethos of the Shiver Elite nicely and that kneeling guy looks nails! I’ve opted to give one of them a GA50 Finisher just in case I need a bit more cover fire!

However, its the next Trooper is my firm favourite. The Support weapon Trooper with Reaper cannon is a lovely miniature – the ammo feed leads back round to an expanded ammo pack on his back. You can really imagine this Trooper laying down heavy fire in every direction!

The Squad also, as we’ve mentioned, comes with a stack of extra weapons and bits – bits that you can do very cool conversions with on the rest of your miniatures, kit bashes like the one below.

This level of customisation is a staple of the SLA RPG, and we are very much looking forward to carrying it into the CS1 Skirmish Wargame. After the release of the Main Rulebook, later this year, we will be revisiting the SLA Ops in detail – and intend to publish an Ops Handbook which will give you massive leeway in creating your own Characters for the Wargame.

Beta testing for CS:1 is still going on if you want to get involved…

For now, the Beta test Stat cards for both the Shiver Elite and Frothers are not far off, and the equipment cards rules will allow you to field the 2 kit bashed characters shown above as variants on the standard Frother & Shiver Elite. Please pop over to the Beta page, download the rules and have a go! We appreciate all the feedback we receive!
