You already know the Itu'a Immortals -- aka the Stikk Assault Crabs. Now meet the Itu'a Myriads, endless swarms of smaller Itu'a with long rifles, supported by heavy weaponsworms:
And the high command encased in a huge Satrap biomecha (provided with the suit and out of it too):
Group shot:
Still to be revealed -- the enormous Rukh warbeast -- large enough to carry several squads inside its gullet! |

But … but I already have too much to paint! When will these be available? |

Very nice design and paintwork. |

For some reason, "Men in Black", comes to mind! |

I'd consider that a compliment. ;->= Doug |

Awesome sculpts, got to have these…… |

Those are rather nice, I have to say. John T |

Those are wonderful! I *so* wish these were out in 28mm, my eyesight and nerves no longer allow me to paint 15s :-( |

Ben Siens sculpted these, as he had the Assault Crabs. Still stuck in the midst of renovations but will release these when the full store comes back on…. |

If one wished to proxy infinity,'s combined army these could fit a few. Love them….I plan to use them w the horrids from ravenstar studios |

"My Dear, you have a serious infestation of crabs there!" Nice figures, good paint job. |

I hope they have a goodly number cast up. I have a feeling there will be a big run on them. |
| khurasanminiatures | 16 Jan 2015 5:40 p.m. PST |
Yes they're actually all cast up, just need to get life back to normal so I can return to taking and fulfilling orders. I shipped nine orders today actually but it was a Herculean task getting them packed, and they were all domestic. With all the construction still underway that's about the best I can manage for 1-2 weeks more. |

So what not- is this one? Not-Tyranids? |

Shut up and take my money! |

They might share the same inspiration as tyranids but I dont think the Itu'a are not- anything. I think they're their own cool thing.  |
 MrHarold  | 17 Jan 2015 8:51 a.m. PST |
They remind me of a cross between gremlins and tyranids, but a design all their own. Really a group of fun and cool sculpts. |

Biologically-based technology was a trope before Games Sweatshop came up with their Tyranids. These are self evidently their own unique take on that trope of sci fi literature. I like 'em. Leland R. Erickson

H. B. F. "… So what not- is this one? Not-Tyranids?…" It seems more appropriate to ask what earlier imagery/tropes GW "borrowed" and declared original but let me just say that the whole bio-tech, alien infestation, DNA/gene stealing/copying, crab/insect like aliens have been around long before GW. |
