Here's a render of the APC for the sentient spideroids in our upcoming Earthdoom range:

picture

It's a grav vehicle, and has a large door in the back shaped to the unique morphology of the Aranae. The hull, which is used for both the APC and the Aranid MBT, is about 100mm long.

This will be released in 15mm initially, then 10mm and possibly 28mm as well.

Does that speak to the possibility of Aranae in 28mm?

(I may have missed an announcement of this…)

ThorLongus17 Feb 2012 6:19 a.m. PST

yay for 10 mm ……would be loverly to see space man spiff paint one up fer yer catalogue

MiniatureReview17 Feb 2012 6:34 a.m. PST

I would love to see this thing in 6mm rather than 10mm, since there are a ton of 6mm sci-fi stuff out there.

nazrat17 Feb 2012 6:54 a.m. PST

Loving that! Want!!

very cool! do you think this would work as a small dropship? like could I get away with using this like the army uses blackhawks?

(I make fun of others)17 Feb 2012 7:19 a.m. PST

Ooohh, scaraby.

Karaz12317 Feb 2012 7:19 a.m. PST

Amazing.
Looking forward to the MBT as well.

How in heck you keep up this stream in releasing new models is beyond me. Outspourcing the design and sculpting probably helps a bit but you are otherwise a one man show right?

I keep expecting a notice you are on hiatus because of a burn-out or something. DON'T!!

Patrick Sexton Supporting Member of TMP17 Feb 2012 7:20 a.m. PST

That looks VERY sharp.

Dropzonetoe Fezian17 Feb 2012 7:46 a.m. PST

I love the front of this – it kind of reminds me of a space invader!

BrotherSevej17 Feb 2012 8:07 a.m. PST

That is bad ass…

Eli Arndt17 Feb 2012 8:09 a.m. PST

It's a cool ride. Might also work with GZG Crusties too.

Ooooooh. Very pretty. Looking forward to the 15mm release!

Hello! Prawns APC…

Flat Beer and Cold Pizza17 Feb 2012 10:43 a.m. PST

That's something, that is.

Looks like I might need to develop an Aranid profile for use with Tomorrow's War.

Duck Crusader17 Feb 2012 10:51 a.m. PST

Wow. Can't wait to see this in the flesh.

javelin9817 Feb 2012 10:57 a.m. PST

Sweet! Now that is truly inspired.

Lampyridae17 Feb 2012 11:11 a.m. PST

Whoah… just as I type this, a teeny tiny bug has somehow crawled in between my laptop's backlight panel and the liquid crystals… the insectoids are here!

Moe the Great17 Feb 2012 1:28 p.m. PST

My Wife hates you.

I hope you can live with that? AS I'm fine with it..

I'll take 3.

LordNth17 Feb 2012 1:31 p.m. PST

Oh sweetness…
Stop with renders. Just tell us when they are coming back from the casters. I can't keep track of all the stuff I want from you now.

Mooseworks817 Feb 2012 1:35 p.m. PST

This will be released in 15mm initially, then 10mm and possibly 28mm as well.
6mm, 6mm, 6mm!

blackfang17 Feb 2012 1:48 p.m. PST

Looks great. Will it be out this year?

Redroom17 Feb 2012 2:23 p.m. PST

Splod8917 Feb 2012 3:12 p.m. PST

6mm! 6mm! 6mm! 6mm! 6mm!

It's a cool ride by anyone's definition… I say we camouflage it ala a garden spider:


Very cool ride, that one…evil grin

Oh MAN you always have the coolest stuff!

steve atkinson19 Aug 2012 3:43 a.m. PST

out of curiosity , are the Aranae APC/Tank/Soldiers likely to be released any time soon ? There was a hint that the Earthdoom range could also move into 10mm , is that likely as well ?
On top of everything else I recall that the XM6 range was put back for the Garn Monstrosaurus , is it likely to move up the queue soon ? Thanks Jon .

dwartist19 Aug 2012 5:44 a.m. PST

ooh, that's nice!

Eli Arndt19 Aug 2012 5:56 a.m. PST

Such a lovely scifi alien tank. Even if I never get any Aranae, I can see putting it in a force with Crusties or Kra'vak

-Eli

khurasanminiatures19 Aug 2012 6:12 a.m. PST

I'm still waiting for the castings of the XM-6, Steve. The Aranae APC has not been moulded yet, nor has the AFV version--there's so much stuff at the casters now I'm holding a bunch of things, including that.

The XM-6 that dwartist painted was from an earlier run that was covered with air bubbles and had huge gates attached to it. I decided not to sell them so sent the piece to another caster.

LordNth19 Aug 2012 8:07 a.m. PST

Still I will take those XM-6 with the defects for terrain and as base work for larger models.
Please sell those defects and don't take the loss of casting them.

steve atkinson19 Aug 2012 8:53 a.m. PST

As per Lordnth , same goes for me .Looking forward to the Aranae , also curious about the 10mm option which seems to be growing but I realise it could be one scale too far .
