From Khurasan Miniature's Blog Mike Broadbent has created the 15mm Rattler model, which has six legs which plug into holes along the main chassis of the unit, as well as a gun torso and head, which like the legs is posable. As can be seen from the photo below, there's some flexibility in the models -- for instance, simply remove the hatchet head of the Rattler and its whole looks changes to a more arachnoid look. These are also quite suitable as sentry robots or similar for 28mm gaming.
We have had quite a few emails off people requesting gun variants amongst the ARC fleet range. As with everything this takes and with such an extensive range planned out we have to fit projects in where we can around the current schedule. Our first step was to get Rob on the case and he came up with 12 new concepts of which 6 where then selected for sculpting by Phil. These are currently off being moulded and once cast well be on there way back to Phil to arm up some AF troops and Mercenaries (if Phils puttying arm begins to twitch!)

Work continues apace on the company-level 15mm sci-fi rules I am working on. Also got to see some pics of the first greens and they look very nice. Can't share them as of yet, but I think many 15mm sci-fi fans will applaud another source of great infantry. Did I mention we'll be doing some walkers, too? Well now I am mentioning it. I'll have a gander at the first batch of those this coming week. They'll be a mix of resin bodies with metal legs and arm-based weapon mounts. No hands or obvious close combat weapons on these guys, and they should be low-slung affairs, with low centers of gravity. We'll see!
Pole Bitwy is a new wargaming company from Poland. They are targeting 15mm / 1:100 scale miniatures, but they also plan on releasing several 6mm and 28mm figures.

This enormous beast of a vehicle is shown below with one of its wheels attached -- eight will eventually be cast, four to a side. (It's propped up in quarters for these photographs.) Attaching the wheels will be quite simple with their unique and weight-bearing wedge attachment points. As the vehicle functions as a main battle tank, with a powerful energy weapon on the roof, and at the same time as a transport for a circle of Felid warriors (ten, not counting vehicle crew), it needs to have the size to fulfill both missions at the same time, and as can be seen in this comparison to a 15mm scale T34/85 tank, it's got it! It's substantially longer than the tank, and towers over it. Should be available for purchase in a month or so. Tank Design by Mark Mondragon
We are very pleased to announce "They Came from Planet 15" -- a new range of 15mm sci fi based on cinema horrors and adventures with a sci fi flavour. First up: "THOSE!", giant ants to crawl into bedrooms at night and drag the heroine off so that Slab Beefjaw can rescue her! Must have been the work of ATOMIC RADIATION. Painted by Chris Yaro Note these are giant -- 5 feet long or so -- not gigantic! We think they are actually scarier when they're the size of a big dog rather than the size of a volkswagon. The next release will be "the beast that confronted the globe," a snaily terror, as slimy as all get-out! And yes, we will be releasing human foes for the radiated horrors and raygun wielding spacemen to battle, as well as spunky female reporters and bathing beauties to protect. Give us time though -- releases will be occasional. The line will be added soon to our webstore ….

The females of this horrible species frequently reach lengths of 60 feet or more, and live underground, making multiple tunnels to the surface, then laying in wait below ground, sensing the slighted vibration and the best tunnel to use to surprise the unwary creature above the surface. The creature will then rush to the surface, impale the prey with its spiky mouthparts, and suck all of the juices from the creature, leaving a dried, leathery husk. Naturally the prey often attempts to fight back, but the bloodworm's segmented armour is like steel, protection from the sharpest spear or sword. The males are small and inoffensive creatures that live at the roots of trees placidly sucking the sap, and are sought out by the females only for mating, though they are a delicacy on Mystri Island when they can be dug up. A towering worm monster well over 25mm tall, this creature will be a serious menace for your Mystri Island adventurers, and would even give serious pause to a 28mm character! Sculpted by Mark Evans. Bloodworm painted by Carl Robson.
These are deployed by drop pod by the Pelagic Dominate, often hours, days or even weeks before an invasion. They sow mayhem in the enemy lines, as they are able to stalk the enemy whilst nearly invisible, slowly creeping forward or ensconced in an ambush position, standing motionless for hours or even days before striking precisely and with lightning speed. If the invasion fails, they often go feral and constitute a major menace to the sentient population. Two stalking poses, two striking poses.
these are a sentient Reptilian species that evolved from a race similar to the great Tyrannosaurs of old Earth. Hulking and powerful, the exclusively carnivorous Garn are driven by two hearts and a relentless appetite for flesh and booty. These warriors need little protection other than their own thick, scaly skin as each wears an advanced technology force field on its back, and they carry large weapons of considerable power. In short, the normal Garn warrior is easily a match for the elite power armoured terran soldier, and is possessed of an irresistible will to conquer.
