Looks like a few more things I will need from Khurasan. Very nice work!

How many figures does it look like it could hold? Not to actually fit them in, but just to look more or less right. 1? 4? 6?

It's design is to hold bugs, they are basically piled in by the Pelagic armies without a lot of thought for their comfort. If some die, the others in the pod just eat them.

For human-type creature deployment, I'd say a pod could probably hold about three, depending on how much armour and gear they have.

but of course what looks right is up to the gamer in the end.

If we are talking humans in armour, we are talking one comfortably, two if they are close friends and three if you go into squint mode – figuring 1:1 games.

I'm planning on using them in various ways as they are very multifunctional bits of kit…..crash pods, stealth insertion or pick up pods, markers to denote a drop zone, drop pods for individual troops 1:1 or for a squad base, drop pods for remotes or even swarms of drones.

They can be objective markers, points of interest for RPG characters to investigate/recover merchandise from……

Cheers

also check out John Bear Ross images of the drop pod. John was the one who sculpted it via the computer.
