Eloi Federation – Typhoon Heavy Tank




To give you a sense of scale:


Typhoon Heavy Grav-tank
The Typhoon is the Eloi Federations heaviest anti-gravity combat vehicle encounter to date. A swift and highly manoeuvrable vehicle for its size it combines unprecedented mobility with lethal and highly accurate firepower.
Typhoon’s are known to be crewed by two Eloi, a pilot/driver and a weapons operator both of which sit in the small rear compartment. The apparent central cockpit is in fact a highly advanced sensor array, real time data gathering module and terrain following suite linked directly to the crew by a neural linked helmet interface. This gives both crew members unprecedented situational awareness of their surroundings on the battlefield.
The turret armament consists of two heavy laser cannon with a secondary centrally mounted rail gun sitting between the barrels. However two other weapons systems have also been observed on this chassis, a large long range energy weapon (the quantum lance), and a triple barrelled indirect fire weapon (the trinity plasma mortar).
The graceful curvature and the thick well slopped composite armour plates of Eloi vehicles provide excellent protection from enemy fire but it is the tanks speed and agility that is considered to be its primary defensive measure.
Set contains:

1 x heavy tank hull

1 x Twin heavy laser cannon turret

1 x Quantum lance turret (with 3 sponson options)

1 x Trinity plasma mortar turret

Notes:

This is a fully resin cast set
Model approximate dimensions, length 75mms, width main hull 42mms – across the stabiliser fins 50mms, height around 10mms not including turrets

Cybershadows air support incoming!

Cybershadow – G-2100 Heavy Gunship









The Cybershadow Technocracy has a great many aircraft in service, everything from light utility run arounds and dedicated aerospace fighters to heavy landers and dropships. The G-2100 heavy gunship serves the Technocracies ground forces in a close air support roll. Two large VTOL rotatable thruster engines allow the aircraft to hover on station much like a conventional helicopter as well as providing the massive thrust required to speed such a heavy craft about the battlefield. The ventral fuselage has many anti-grav plates installed which provide additional lift and stability.

Heavy armour and three shield emitters provide the craft with a strong defensive suite, this coupled with modular weapons hard points make for an effective combination of speed, defence and firepower.

Observed weapons fits have included, conventional heavy machine guns, rotary cannon, medium and heavy energy weapons, missile pods and guided bombs to name a few.

Set contains:

1 x Heavy gunship hull

1 x VTOL thrusters sprue

1 x Tail fins sprue

2 x Weapons sprues

Notes:

Full resin cast kit
Model approximate dimensions, length 90mms (not including nose turret weapon), width 50mms including thrusters, height 20mms

I think Terminator was indeed an inspiration here. Expect more flyers in this style soon (can't give you an ETA yet).

Those terrain pieces are very scale versatile. 3mm, 6mm, 15mm, would work with all of them.

Is there some deliberate Islamic influence there? The domes and 4 towers make me think of the Mosques of Cairo. Or the Turkish fleet from Dystopian Wars. Either/or.

It's based off the Hagia Sophia. So, Byzantine architecture.

Is it the Istanbul, or Constantinople class?
