You know things are getting out of hand, when the toy has the integral carry handle

I think it's because it can drop the drop pod but ya it looks a bit odd, price ain't bad though.

The huge Zurg ships is down to $12.30!



I in no way need it but wow. $12.

which?

For $12 that'd make great scatter terrain

For potential AT/Epic players here's the scale of a questoris next to the drop pod that comes with the big ship. Ship is huuuge, like 20 inches long.

The pods are small for 40k, really they can only hold one model, but good for terrain.



Didn't Forgeworld have some kind of 2 pod space marine ram ship thing? I think it was called the Two Pod Space Marine Ram Ship Thing.

The Zurg ship could pass as that.

The Caestus is really tall and stubby. Not sure the dimensions would fit that well.

I've got 4 of the drop pods. I don't know that they'll make it into Grimdark/4dkay, but they'll likely be great for creating a deployment zone in other skrimish games.

Seeing them in use above I'll probably try and keep them relatively scale-less as they could also serve in 10mm Mech combat games.

Updated my conversion of the lightyear truck with some necromunda bits,

Another thing i picked up for my infinity terrain-

While on that truck I see it is down to $8 (from $18)

Young me would have loved a toy like that! $12 is also crazy cheap - - - - or just in line with kids pocket money!?

Dang, wish I was in the states.

And yet Entertainment Earth remains convinced there will be a wave 2 of these toys...

Let's all hope! I kind of like the XL 08.

That's fantastic. I'd love to see a shot next to a figure.

Wow, that's the best thing I think I've seen in here. I wish they could be so readily found here in the UK.

I think the toy is 32mm instead of 28mm it looks a little out of sclae with the old Djanbzan designs but it is still a great addition.

Thanks for that! Looks like it's probably actually closer to 1/32, as a human stands considerably taller than a spinner which is itself not a terribly large car.

Still it's a great looking craft and I'd be happy to put it on my 28mm table. I refuse to be a stickler for the sizes futuristic automobiles!

Did you make those tarped crate stacks? They look pretty cool. Reminds me of the foil-cast destroyed mech markers I made a while back.

Oh my God, I love it. I would have bought an unhealthy amount of those at that price!

Kotobukiya do a range of those as well.

"Chain base" modules that are 6"x6"x6" that lock together, ostensibly scaled for around 1:!44. I turned a couple of them into a display base for my infinity stuff (adding parts of a couple of other gaming/model sets. The catwalks were from the IMEX "syberclicks" range, the rails from "Hexagon" and the other wall was 3"x3" panels from mantic.

They are part of a collection of old JR miniatures resin cast terrain i managed to aquire over the years. i use quite a bit of it for infinity as they had an extensive scifi collection of buildings and scatter terrain. obviously now you can access all sorts of 3d printed style appropriate terrain from designers like corvus, dragons rest, forbidden prints district 12/industrial lines and the like-

Those lightyear ships are showing up at Marshalls for $5

Not the giant one yet.

People have been asking about Ash Wastes squad cars for the Enforcers.

Personally I'd go with the Dodge Challenger, top row right.

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801497550189.html

Some more options.




https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804287798724.html

At 17cm long this is almost the size of a land raider and might make a good APC.



https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801162846812.html

This one is smaller and more practical

There's more on Ali Express but these jumped out for me.

Found this at the 100 yen shop. I think it would work well for its intended purpose of showcasing models, but I think I plan on using them for terrain pieces. Some minor chopping and shaving and these will make great walls and what-nots for less than a dollar a section.

I bought the four they had. I checked back a couple days ago and they have something else in the spot where I found them so I doubt they will be restocked. I might try another location to see if I can find more.

Hot Wheels has Lightyear Armadillos.Jussssst a bit small for 15MM but I think if you put it on a base and step away it works.

Are you familiar with Father Ted's "These are small, but the ones out there are far away" line when trying to make his Priest colleague understand the difference between the toy animals in his hand and the real ones out if the field?

If you have the larger toys for 40K, wouldn't the Hot Wheels one be nice for Epic?

That is the finest joke in the history of television. And the best bit is that it deliberately provides no context as to why Ted is needing to explain it I love it so much!

Thanks for the heads up. Grabbed two on a whim today. Definitely small for 15mm, but likely good for 10mm or 6mm.

If I can find the time I'll do a comparison of the 3 different ones I've got.

Even better, the Island Priests are available from Crooked Dice.

I couldn't resist.
