Story of the Iron Guard Collection
The city of Kovlova is ruled by Nickolai Kovalevski, and through propaganda and complete media control he has ensured that his people idolize him. However, behind the benevolent façade, Nikolai is hungry for power and domination.
The Voda river runs down from the Staghorn Mountains and then splits into dual tributaries, running beside the two massive cities of Kovlova in the east and New Haven in the west (we have another STL collection with minis that focus on this location: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-154433). New Haven is the largest city on Exosia and is a long time rival of Kovlova. Between the cities lies a vast, flat tundra of oil reserves; the land is so rich that pools of dark oil litter the bare surface, giving rise to its name - the Blacklands.
The Blacklands have long been under New Haven’s control but Nikolai needs the extra fuel supplies to power his dreams of expansion. Sensing the time is right for war, Nickolai rallys the Kovlovan Army - generally referred to as The Iron Guard after his specialised troops - and marches for the Arteria Pipeline. A key partt of that army are The Reaper mech and the Mech walkers who control them.
Valentina is one of the few elite soldiers in the Kovlovan army who is trained to use these huge walkers. It takes years of hard work, long days and a natural affinity for the job to make it. The Reapers are a nightmare to behold on the battlefield, with a gun to rival many tank weapons and the dexterity that two legs can provide when manoeuvring over uneven terrain.
From being a young girl, Valentina had always wanted to be a mech walker. Parades through Kovlova's city square on Founders Day would show off the gargantuan robots and their human drivers, who were revered as national heroes. From that day on, she spent her whole childhood preparing for the role, even qualifying to attend the Reaper Preparatory School where she received an education and daily lessons to prepare physically and mental for piloting the mechs. She graduated with flying colours and is now in her fifth year rotation as a mech walker for the Kovlovan Army. One of her favourite pass times is to sit on The Reaper and drink a few sips of Vodka after a battle, celebrating the fact that they survived.
