Miniatures Upcoming, Soldurios Cavalry

By early next-year several new pieces for the Soldurios 15mm lineup will be released adding several command figures and or heroes to the existing range. But perhaps more excitingly is a new model for the 15mm forces that is an alien creature.

As large as an elephant, it is a six-legged animal/insect hybrid that is a popular choice of pack animal throughout so many worlds. It is best known for its generally docile temperament and rugged hide but feared greatly for its ferocious charges and monstrous claws.

Soldurios have spent many decades domesticating the exotic animal to introduce as a heavy cavalry unit, carrying anti-armor guns and crews into lethal combat with confident strides akin to the thunderous steps of a giant.

Miniatures Upcoming, 15mm Update

As of September the command 'hero-type' models have been reworked to facilitate easier casting for production, as well as a consistent rhythm in the design and sculpture of the 15mm Soldurios cavalry unit. Since the base sculpt for the creature is completed it has been a matter of adding details like cannons, harness and luggage, and course riders!



Here is the critter as it now stands. This is the animal/insect hybrid that the Soldurios have made much use of.

Given it is the size of a small elephant this beast can lug around two riders and a medium cannon and still make good travel. It is an ideal creature for most environments that can be encountered and its curious genetics lend well to any extreme.
