It looks like EMP is not offering the Walking Cities from the Baccus Command Horizon line, seen here: link

I haven't been able to find anything else similar. Does anyone know of anything out there that would substitute? It has to be big enough to hold a large crew of half ton seriously claustrophobic herd mentality psychotically militant vegetarians. Yup that's the K'kree from Traveller.

Did you think about using a modified a 25mm model like a 40K scale Rhino ? Again with proper modifications …

Wow! 6mm K'kree and potential Graboids. I haven't been so pumped for sci fi goodness since I saw the PacFeds from Brigade who could easily pass for Starguard from the similarly named McEwan miniatures game.

Any leads on potential Aslan, Vargar and Zhodani from Traveller or Ralni, Drenoi, Orilla and Terrilians from SG?

Legion 4, thanks for the suggestion. Yes I could kitbash one, and a 40k rhino may not be a bad place to start. I'd rather buy something and get playing right away but it's looking like it's going to have to be a kitbash.

Stephen m, you can get amazingly close to the original Traveller artwork with the following 6mm figures::
Imperial Marines – Ground Zero Games USCM Marines
Zhodani – Darkest Star Venturians
Vargr – Darkest Star Khiff
Aslan – CinC SIM Felidoids
K'Kree – formerly Baccus now EMP Centaurs

Well good luck in your search … If I run across anything I'll let you know. But you may want to look as larger scales than 6, 10, 12mm …

Saw this 15mm SF vehicle on Alternative Armies – Loud Ninja Games. Not sure the size ? But it may be start and they have Plt of 3 on sale too.

I like the way that one looks! If it's the right size I could add a couple of 6mm turrets and it would look the part. I've sent them a request for the dimensions

Here's another good possibility from Antenociti's Workshop, the Honey Bear, but the kickstarter hasn't delivered yet. It's the fourth photo from the bottom.

Post the size here of a SIRRUS if you could once you get it !


The Honey Bear looks good too ! But would like a better pic …

Good idea to use 15mm vehicles from Alternative Armies!

minigamer14 Oct 2019 8:36 a.m. PST

Here's what Alternative Armies said about the size of the Sirrus:

The Sirrus APC is approx 60mm long, 35mm wide and 25mm tall on average across its body.

That feels a bit small for a K'Kree tank but it would do in a pinch.
