Something slick and high-tech, like the Clear Horizon Hell Divers or GZG's UNSC or New Israelis. |
| Redroom | 05 Dec 2013 5:50 p.m. PST |
Looks like it could be converted into a vtol pretty easily too – nice find |
| Mako11 | 05 Dec 2013 6:01 p.m. PST |
Looks like a Judge Dredd vehicle to me, if they made minis in 15mm. |
| KJdidit | 05 Dec 2013 6:08 p.m. PST |
Needs a remote weapon mounted on the upper deck. Other than that, very nice! Would look good with ACP's Federal troops, too. |

Paint it dirty and weathered and make use it as a colony sheriff. |

Hey, you are absolutely right. At just 97 cents each, they should be able to afford an entire fleet of these little cars! Dan |
| dsfrank | 06 Dec 2013 10:10 a.m. PST |
would be a great little scout vehicle for any wheel/track bound army works for near future through hard core sci-fi – I have some of the old RAFM HO scale Heavy Gear stuff & it would fit right in with most 15/20mm sci-fi oriented forces – would be a great stable mate for the "Matchbox Armored Response Vehicle" or "Matchbox Armored Police Vehicle" – google it |
| Jeff W | 06 Dec 2013 11:51 a.m. PST |
That's pretty cool. I might have to go look for one to compare a mini to. |
| McWong73 | 06 Dec 2013 2:52 p.m. PST |
Buy three, once Fury Road is released you'll use them for Mad Max gaming. At least I am. |
| Jeff W | 06 Dec 2013 3:51 p.m. PST |
I wasn't quite able to sort it out from the links CC posted. When will these be available? |
| McWong73 | 06 Dec 2013 6:56 p.m. PST |
I've seen them inTarget in Australia, so if we have them I'm sure they're really available world wide. |

The only one I found on ebay was about four quid with a bike I didn't need. Perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough. If they wind up (lots) less than that they'll be a great find: they are good looking buggies. John T |
| Johny Boy | 07 Dec 2013 6:21 a.m. PST |
It's got Rebel mini's Shalur mercenaries, Japanese industrial combine troops written all over it, a great find |
| AVAMANGO | 07 Dec 2013 8:39 a.m. PST |
They are really cool looking buggies and on E-Bay UK they average around £2.50 GBPp but the postage is the roughly the same price as the toy which makes them slightly less attractive for me. |

It looks like a harsh environment settlement vehicle to me. Or maybe a postapoc (as the MM suggestions above). Whichever way, it looks minimalist (practical) and enclosed (for environs where people are best not exposed). I think it would also make a nice unmanned weapons platform for 28mm. You know, drop a cannon or a couple of rocket pods on it. |
| Cacique Caribe | 11 Dec 2013 7:31 p.m. PST |
How about using those Turbo Racers with these future cop-looking guys, as desert settlement troops?
Perhaps if painted in John Treadway's Mars-like color scheme:
To protect settlers against these desert raiders:

Dan, what figure ranges are in the above post? They're quite lovely, and I'm very inspired. |
| OctaChaz | 29 May 2014 3:06 a.m. PST |
Seconded on those figure ranges grommet37. Would love some of those desert raider looking troops. |

Those look like Old Crow. |
| parrot1500 | 29 May 2014 10:29 a.m. PST |
Definitely gonna turn this into a VTOL. Nice find! |
| Cacique Caribe | 29 May 2014 3:47 p.m. PST |
Parrot1500, If you do, you've gotta show us how you did it!!! Dan |
| Cacique Caribe | 29 May 2014 3:49 p.m. PST |
Guys, Have you seen the stunning paint job "No Such Agency" gave to a couple of those Hot Wheels? Check it out: TMP link Dan |
| MKGipson | 29 May 2014 4:29 p.m. PST |
At 15mm scale the car (which I just got 4 of) is pretty big. Even with a crew of two the footprint of the vehicle is large. So, how to justify? Well, if it is treated as a long range recon vehicle the size would involve supply stowage, mission-specific electronics, fuel etc. The space on the outside of the vehicle would be used for additional stowage (that is what I plan to do). Of course, they just look cool – more than sufficient for gaming purposes! ;) |
| grommet37 | 29 May 2014 8:05 p.m. PST |
Dan asked: Do you mean these? Yes, I see now those are Old Crow infantry, but also what are the desert troops and what are those vehicles? |
| Soldado | 30 May 2014 5:53 a.m. PST |
Grommet37 It looks like the desert raiders are Rebel minis Sahadeen raiders link The vehicle is from old crow Goanna/gecko |
| Cacique Caribe | 30 May 2014 8:17 p.m. PST |
Those! Yes, Rebel Minis. And, I'm told, he will be adding to them some time soon. Dan |
| grommet37 | 30 May 2014 8:20 p.m. PST |
I have ordered some of those Sahadeen, through Scale Creep. I hadn't noticed those guns, though (the ones that look like multi-missile launchers). I must look closer at the Rebel Minis site! Is the vehicle in the Sahadeen photo an Old Crow vehicle? I need to find his old site on the Wayback Machine. |
looks for scenario material in a World War IV boardgame.
