Know Your Ally: Royal Heldrovanian Engineers
Paving a Road to Victory!
Fair waking, soldiers of Christ! ‘Tis a merry morning in Interzolia, for we are one day closer to Xiandao’s liberation and re-consecration! Christus vincit!
Today is the 6th day before the calends of Periwinter (III Xung old native). Rejoice! We are halfway through polar winter! Et in Terra, it is Tuesday, December 4th, the Feast of Great-Martyr Barbara. Thus, command has prepared this suitably informative and uplifting presentation on one of the many allied formations fighting for the peace and honor of almighty God on Xiandao: the 9th Brega Barbara Fortuna, Royal Heldrovanian Engineers. Saint Barbara, patron of military engineers, pray for us!
9th Brega is a storied formation of the R.H.E, its service stretching back some three hundred years. They have been twice awarded the Solar Falcon, Heldrovan’s highest military decoration, by the Doruro Himself, and each vehicle bears the royal banner proudly. They represent the largest contingent of Heldrovan’s contributions to the Eighty World Alliance effort here on Xiandao and the largest combat engineering unit present in the Interzolia theater. In a testament to his wisdom and humility, the unit’s commander, Count Streko, has suffered his forces to be divided among field units throughout the theater, frequently deploying wherever they are most needed.
One of the Brega Barbara Fortuna’s most highly regarded abilities is battlefield bridging, represented here by vehicle 144, a Pontifex AVLB, seen here in action along the Whisper River.
A more common sight, but performing no less vital duties, are the many Trojan transports, a multi-mission vehicle used for earth-moving, cartage, replenishment, and field repair. Here we see Trojan 1 of the 5th company tending to an improvised supply depot. This one is equipped with a Bravo-2 mission module for the demolition of unexploded ordnance.
Finally, we see one of the powerful Atlas battlefield recovery vehicles, capable of towing disabled tanks back to the rear where they can be salvaged. Its powerful winching arm, when combined with its rear spade, are capable of lifting vehicles much heavier than this immobilized troop transport.
Brave soldier-engineers of Heldrovan, we salute you!
Now, a three minute musical interlude before the Office of Prime is broadcast from the Cathedral of Fire Island…
All three of these vehicles were 3D printed on my Bambu Labs A1. The models can be found here:

My gratitude is extended to all of the contributors of these excellent models.
Great looking tanks. I really need to step up my tank game.
