Konami has some cool new toys for those who may be looking for new uses for their Warhammer terrains. The Battle DigiQ tanks are similar to other mini-RC vehicles, but have the extra feature of adding weapons and multiple gameplay options. There are four varieties of tanks (Tiger I, Panther, Sherman and T34) each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The tanks battle via infrared “cannons” and can battle in three different modes; race, beginner and expert battle mode. In race mode, hits to the opponent slow the tank down, allowing other tanks to overtake it. In beginner battle mode, the tanks get unlimited ammo and short reload times, and 5 hits will score a win. Expert mode is where it gets really cool; each tank has different reload times, ammo capacity and armor. Up to four can play at a time as a free-for-all or two-on-two. Cost is about $50 per.
