"Khurasan releases the XM-6 Superheavy Grav Tank" Topic

We are pleased to release the 15mm scale XM-6 dedicated grav tank, a superheavy intended by the Federal Army as an eventual replacement for the venerable Siler Superheavy Tank.

Designed using captured Soriog technology, this enormous creature (the hull is about 125mm long) can be equipped with either a heavy fusion cannon, sometimes called an atomic cannon in Federal parlance, or a superheavy railgun. (Both options are provided with the kit, and it should be an easy matter to make them swappable using a magnet or similar system.)

Dropping from orbit and approaching the objective at hundreds of kilometers an hour, these tanks are the future of the Federal Army, capable of locking horns with such terrifying alien threats as the Garn GAU and the Mekanoid Dictator.

For close defence, the vehicle mounts two automated laser systems on its turret.

We think that dwartist did a splendid job painting this casting up, as usual. It should be noted that he painted an early casting and I have subsequently sent the kit to a different caster to get cleaner castings.)

The kit is available now, on our in-universe page, in the Federal Army listing, as well as on our generic sci fi vehicle page, the link for which is below. Happy gaming!

Great stuff! Really like the look of this. Dwartist did a great job painting that.

Wow!

Forgot one, XM-6 next to infantry:

Very nice. I will add this to the list for my next order.

Looks good!

Damn that's a beautiful big beasty!

Wow, I gotta admit that Khurasan is certainly tops in releasing all sorts of new 15mm scifi goodies! Geez, my buy list keeps growing!

Thanks,

John

Grav vehicles ain't my bread and butter but I cannot fail to notice the high quality and superb production values of this piece.

Keep up the good work.

Wow, that's the best tank you guys have done so far, and I thought the Siler was incredible.

Holy Crap! That is fantastic and I hate you guys.

(And obviously I will be ordering some in the very near future.)

Could you post a picture of an XM-6 turret on a Siler hull please?

Could almost make it an AI and call it your universe's version of an OGRE/Bolo.

Very cool.

I love your stuff, just wondering if you're going to be back to shipping soon?

I am shipping now, never stopped -- just cleaning out the backlog from when I hit a crunch in September and early October.

How long before the XM6 apc version shows up?

Reminds me a great deal of the Trepida from Traveller. Actually if one leaves the turret off it could serve as the Astrin APC.

Wow, you could probably use that for 28mm gaming, as well.

I've been told that as well -- that the access hatch is large enough to permit its use as a light grav tank in 28mm.

Lion, that really depends on the reception this vehicle receives.

I'd love to see a full range of them. Be great for US forces in TW. A medium version and an apc variant would be cool

Could even be a Blower for Hammer's Slammers, if the Old Crow version isn't to someone's liking. It reminds me of the depiction on one of the book covers (but now I can't seem to find it anywhere).

And since I am a weak willed man, I ordered three.

I need to finish buying tracked AFVs from John first, but the addition of an APC and medium version of the XM-6 would make the 'package' more attractive.

Cheers,

Kev

this is a outstanding model , very clean , easy to build and a monster tank. looks like it will glide across a battlefield tearing through ememy tanks with ease.

I love it's lines…. That loverly ovoid supporting all that tanky goodness….

All I need is a Startac mech walking next to it ;)

What's a startac mech?

Jeez it is big. On the average size TW board I play on (3'x4') it is going to be so big it takes a big chunk of the fighting terrain.
