Here are some pics of the Shrike with various crew and weapons add-ons for the Federal Army. SPAR crew will be made as well. Driver and rider:
The driver can fit on either the right or left side, as you prefer.  Autocannon and gunner (there are actually two autogunner poses, for some variation in Shrike Troops):
Missile launcher and missileman:

Nice vehicle! Lots of potential for add-ons, kitbashes and modelling on stowage. A simple, effective little rig that does the trick nicely. |

There's an anti-grav version as well, with four grav pods rather than wheels! |

I don't do too much 15mm myself, but those look good! |
 MrHarold  | 24 Oct 2013 10:12 a.m. PST |
Looks awesome! Very useful. |

Oooh, I see some sci fi chariot races coming! Why ram your competitor when you can blast em with a rocket launcher. |
| Sloppypainter | 24 Oct 2013 10:24 a.m. PST |
Oh yah! These will go nicely with my growing horde. |

I see a civilian version with two grav-boards on the top and a grav-bike on a trailer. |

Will there be crew for the Exterminators as well? Very cool, and a definite buy!!! |
| khurasanminiatures | 24 Oct 2013 11:06 a.m. PST |
Yeah, actually I completely forgot that -- I've got to get it to the Exterminator's sculptor…. |
| zonk76 | 24 Oct 2013 11:09 a.m. PST |

Yes, it has four engines like the Phalanx has, which fit on the axles. |

Jon, excellent. Would you consider making these engines available separately for those of us who want to convert diecast vehicles to sci-fi skimmers? I've made this suggestion to others who haven't taken up the ball, but I think this is a potentially popular item if someone would just put them out there.

I approve of the post above. |

For one of the crew poses, can we get a guy with his foot propped up on the edge of the door weapon covering the side? If you've got 3d printed crews, the door gunner can probably be mirror-imaged. |

Vast majority of my figures are still sculpted in putty. All my vehicles are digitally designed. |
| infojunky | 24 Oct 2013 4:04 p.m. PST |
A Grav version you say….. Now I am less than happy with today's employment conversations….. |
| USMEADS | 24 Oct 2013 5:15 p.m. PST |
Neat little vehicle! Unique and original. Would be nice to see someone paint this up for a photo shoot. Thanks for posting the photos! |
| Umpapa | 24 Oct 2013 10:38 p.m. PST |
Excellent. I hope You will make civilian / irregular crew for all of us demanding in the past technicals of tomorrow. |
| Barks1 | 24 Oct 2013 11:20 p.m. PST |
I would drive one of those. |
| Atropos907 | 25 Oct 2013 11:14 a.m. PST |
That would look cute painted like a halo warthog. |

Update -- I've received the SPAR crew and gunners so the Shrike is going into production. Should be available in a month or so. |
| Twoball Cane | 15 Dec 2013 10:21 a.m. PST |
So this and the clear horizon buggies look similar in some ways…
I'm thinking of them like Ford's and Chevy's…. Maybe their bitter rivalry went into the 22-23century….perhaps even to armed conflict :0 Chevy man myself…friends don't let friends drive Ford's!!!!! |
| Heinz Good Aryan | 16 Dec 2013 7:56 a.m. PST |
they do look pretty similar. when will this one be abvailable??? |
| Golan2072 | 16 Dec 2013 8:46 a.m. PST |
Isn't that a Dune II Harkonen Quad? :) |
| khurasanminiatures | 17 Dec 2013 7:29 a.m. PST |
Well, as I said, in a month or so. |
