......You're Gonna Need A Bigger Dropship!

.
Jon at Khurasan Miniatures has exclusively sent me this sketch of his forthcoming Orca Heavy Assault Warriors and it is awesome! Just plain awesome! The sketch has been based closely on the sculpted figures.

The sculptor is Pedro Ramos from Spain. The Orca Warrior is armed with:

- Barnacle suit-mounted smart missile system,
- Ahab power harpoon (the favoured weapon of the Orcas -- most use two and they often hand craft them)
- Baleen class Gatling gun.

Incidentally, A human's head is at the same height as the Orca's mouth. Convenient eh!

I can't wait to see these!

Cheers
Mark

  4. Actually, now that I think of it... with a pack or two of these and some packs of Space Demons you could do a pretty cool undersea Space Hulk sort of game, and since I have a 15mm version of Litko's Corridor system I may do just that...

  5. I love the name. "Ahabs power harpoon." Great work!

  6. That armor looks a bit more substantial than Jon's original description seems to indicate. I am not complaining as it's a nice concept, but I was imagining a slightly less armored look.

  7. Eli I disagree. I described them as heavy power armoured elites.

  8. Hole le crud! Sensible Space Marines ;)

    Astranagant's idea of a SeaHulk game is a concept too good not to steal! :)
