Available Now at clearhorizonminiatures.com – The Hell Diver Recon Squad!

TMP link

Tasked with scouting enemy positions and hit-and-run missions, the Hell Diver Recon Squad is equipped with Cyclone-Class Deep Infil motorcycles. The Cyclone-Class is capable of extended operations and has a range of over 1,000 km. Its high-capacity batteries can be charged by burning any local fuel and by solar exposure. They also contain compartments for foodstuffs, supplies and ammunition. The tires on the Cyclone are state-of-the-art nano-materials able to adapt to any surface almost instantly, and allow for high-performance on- and off-road travel.

TMP link

The entire squad are drop-capable as the Cyclone has been designed to fold while in transit and to be quickly deployed out of the standard HEL/DIV Drop Pod.

TMP link

The Hell Diver Recon Squad comes with four Cyclone-class motorcycles (three with lower torsos and legs attached and one rider-free motorcycle), three Hell Diver upper bodies, and a sprue of Hell Diver rifles.

The Hell Diver Recon Squad is a 15mm multi-part metal model.

Mr H – Nice models: I'm intrigued as to what you're doing with the paint job, though. Not that I don't like it – it's very pretty! – but the wheels and stripes up the riders arms and legs…

Are they 'glowing'? It's a very nice bit of "trompe l'oeil" (for want of a better term) but I'm just wondering what you were aiming at? (bearing in mind that everything else on the model is in 'tactical' black)

Thanks John!

I let the painter decide on the scheme there. It represents the stealth suit powering up before cloaking them.

The color on the wheels shows the nanomaterial changing to adapt to the the terrain.

Wow that's a bit of a high tech explanation Harold.Love it.
Great minis. Must get some.Would be nice if you did a folded one or a land one complete with gravshute or whatever is used to decelerate them.

Keep it up

Just finished reading John Scalzi's excellent "Old Man's War".
If you want to read a great book with Nano Tech in it then this is your number 1 choice.
