The Starlight Troopers, like soldiers have since war began, give names to their enemies. Some bugs are "Three Boob Betty" after the three large breast-like sacs on their bellies (they are in fact udders!). Then there's "Skeeter" for the swarming bugs who give off an annoying buzz as they dive to attack. And who can forget Blackjack, the black acid spitter? Funny, filthy, or downright crude, most of the names give rise to banter and jokes.

Not this one. This one is called Game Over. If you even *think* you've spotted one you get fleet on the line. Nothing the Troopers carry can bring one down. You need a full on strafing run with a pulse cannon or, if there are no troops within 100 meters, you can hit it with a SparrowHawk air to ground missile. If you have a *confirmed* spotting, say your prayers.

I say we take off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

It's afraid.

Still WIP of course.

The mini itself is right out of the blister, but it's been out of the pack so long I honestly forget what company it is from. Resin body and head, metal legs.

@LitS Yup

@BM You think so?

15mm and 28mm Fanatik23 Mar 2016 8:37 a.m. PST

Hudson would certainly agree.

This.

This is why we have artillery.

I'm sure a few Predators would like to take a stab at it.
