New Imperator Mecha for Gruntz

Even in tiny 15mm scale a mecha can look an impressive sight. So how about this new Imperator Mecha being crafted for Gruntz...
Here you can see the model alongside some others from the Gruntz range just to show the scale of the thing. Standing at 8cm the mecha will be a mutli-part metal kit.
Look for this just before the end of the year and we will keep you updated on where to buy it.

Robin has done wonders with this game , I havent enjoyed a tabletop in ages as much as I have this.
