For the last few months, the staff at Hydra HQ has been infected with the 15mm sci-fi bug. While there are many exciting 15mm sci-fi manufacturers, we’ve decided to put our own spin on the genre with a comprehensive range of aliens—Xeno 15.
The first releases were sculpted by one of our favorite sculptors: Ben Seins, the “Monster Master.” The Akarr are a race of humanoid aliens who used to be slaves. After overthrowing their masters, they are now raid human settlements to bring human slaves to their homeworld. Their hunting parties are lead by the largest of their kind--the Akarr overlords.
The warriors of the Akarr are arranged into two types: Stalker squads (long range weaponry) and Razor squads (close combat). Heavy firepower is provided by Inferno squads equipped with particle cannons and heavy meson beamers.
I like what we're seeing so far... the mix of high-tech weapons and ancient- and fantasy-style armor works well on these figures. Best of luck to Hydra Miniatures on their new venture!These miniatures are now available from Hydra Miniatures for 20% off as part of our Holiday Sale. You can see the whole range here. We hope you enjoy our new Akarr models and we are working on vehicles to support the range. We have two other alien races in pre-production and will be assigning these projects to sculptors soon. Stay tuned for more information about Xeno 15.
Cheers,
Chris
