They're 15mm ish but honestly can be made to work for 30k with a bit of paintjob. The big might also work as an arvus lighter. Got this one off ebay but if you're in the us they sell them at target.

These are great! I ordered one of the orange landers. Thanks for the tip!

Nice! The orange really pops, could probably get away with just washing it.

It's a tad small, but vehicle scale is so wonky that I don't think it's that big a deal. With a grungy paintjob I think it would blend right in.

I wonder if you could fit a servitor or a pilot in the cockpit?

It's definitely on the small side, there is a larger one but not sure what scale it would be, looks more in line with like gi joe sized. You probably could get a pilot/servitor in the cockpit. Might have to cut a at the seats.

It's about on par for an arvus lighter, it reminds me a bit of the small navy dropships from starship troopers. Could probably hold a squad of guardsmen.


There's an even bigger version too of the orange one.

I have seen people use toys like this for terrain. There was someone who used a AC-130 gunship toy, broke it, weathered it and made it into terrain. Looked great.

I have them both and the Lightyear Armadillo lander and Zurgs Fighter starfighter look very well for 28mm. As your pictures show, the other human starfighters are a bit small, but could work as terrain.

Here's my Armadillo peaking out of the cargo hold of a converted Paw Patrol starship with a couple Stargrave 28mm crew for scale.


You can see more of the Paw Patrol lander here:

I don't have a picture of the Zurg fighter, but it's this one:

Interestingly, the figures that they come with are almost spot-on for 1/72 (20mm) albeit with oddly elongatged legs.

Found the Comparison shot I took with the Zurg fighter. Comparison Figures are a 34mm Chronoscope and 28mm Infinity.

Pic below is it compared to the converted Paw Patrol starship.

Holy crap, that zerg fighter is huge! Looks really good too.

I've got a few now with more on the way, thanks for the scale shots, very helpful.

The XL-07 is smaller than I'd hoped but still works as parked terrain.

Your very welcome, glad that they were useful. You're getting quite the collection!

I present the Hecate Heavy Dropship. I converted it from a lightyear toy. Wrote a whole bunch of fluff for it too, it's sorta like AT's version of the leopard dropship from battletech. It's basically a way for knight households to deploy small banners rapidly into combat.

older wip shots

That looks great!
