Antenocitis Drive Out All Sorts of Cool Cars
September 17, 2012 by dracs
It's been a little while since we last took a look at what's been going on over at Antenocitis Workshop and in that time they have come out with a whole load of stylish new vehicles, both 28mm and 15mm. Check these out.
"The Tata-Dodge Matador is the first successful commercial vehicle that utilise A-Grav lift & propulsion. Although not the first A-Grav powered vehicle it is the first to achieve proven commercial success mostly in its intended usage as an Air-Taxi."
"Like all (A-Grav) Aircars the Hawker Evora is a very ‘substantial’ vehicle due to the significant size and power requirements of its 4 A-grav lift modules. The Evora is nonetheless portrayed as a Sports Car and although its specifications are luxurious its top-end speed and performance are exceptionally poor compared to land-cars."
15mm T-PEA Hunchback APC / MRAP...
"The Hunchback is a well-armoured Mine-Resistant Patrol Vehicle capable of carrying up to 8 armed troopers although more commonly found with a single "brick" of four troopers. It is crewed by a single Pilot with heavily automated systems for control of its armaments which generally consists of light-support or close-air-defence systems. A standard T-PEA Section of 8 troopers will typically be split between two Hunchbacks, providing more support firepower and flexibility for the individual bricks. Loss of one vehicles leaves the section capable of squeezing into the secondary vehicle for exfiltration from the combat area."
"The T-PEA “Mobile Turret” or “Spider Tank” is a pilotless military drone designed for Urban or Rough-Terrain combat. It is a dedicated heavy-weapons platform that can clamber across pretty much any rough terrain and is heavily armoured and armed to allow it to suppress most enemy vehicles and personnel that it is likely to encounter."
As you can see, this is a rather cool selection of miniatures which would be great for many different sci-fi games. The Spider Tank in particular would make for an excellent TAG in Infinity.
The cars are well sculpted, with the air car being particularly cool. It would be great whether you want to use it as an integral part of a gaming scenario, or just to leave scattered around the streets of a sci-fi city just to make the terrain feel more alive.
Do you guys like these new minis from Antenocitis? What sort of scenarios can you think of to incorporate them in?
Hmmm…That doesn’t look at all like the Dodge Matadors I remember. If I had one of those when I was a teen I probably would have got lucky a lot more often! Well…maybe once 🙂
I’m quite fond of the wheeled stuff as well. Nice robust syle.
Wow! That would make for some pretty awesome scenery for stuff like Infinity!
I was wondering how plausible it might be to have a running gun battle from the top of super Sci-Fi cars in Infinity?
Hollywood does it all the time lol.

Haha, that is a really fantastic idea! You’ve got me thinking about an Infinity scenario set aboard a high speed, possibly hijacked train with rules for clambering about, falling off and decoupling cars before the carriages derail… Or what about a large cargo plane about to take off or mid flight… I wonder if, in such a scenario the plane would be A.I piloted or would you need a character with a high enough skill requisite to keep it ‘safely’ in the sky. Either way pack those parachutes! Phwoar! I doff my (imaginary) hat to you! Great idea and I’ve… Read more »
One thing that would be great to go with the hover car is a “sci-fi” Road. One thing I loved about the new Total Recall movie was the hover cars, but you will notice they can only work on the road made for them! If you wanted to go off road you need a different car.
I’d also think they would get more bang for the buck if they made a “wheeled” version as well.
What if you could take the hover car and plop it on to a chassis to leave the roadway and go four-wheeling. Snap!
Those air cars need a spiffy red metalic paint job.
Damm have you seen that Mecha…..16 quid!!!!
My credit card is a wilting
Consider the size and quality or the resin cast, then compare to the equivalent PP or GW release…
Not so expensive after all, eh ?
First two are sleek looking hover cars or anti-gravitation cars. Next onces are rather nice looking scifi military vehicles. Spider reminds me little bit about those walking tanks in GitS. Over all those are nice looking scifi vehicles.
what i see there is scenery and models for some Pen and Paper Shadowrun. <3
Very cool, and will make fine additions to any Infinity tabletop!
I’ve bought loads of stuff from Antenociti’s before, great little company and I love the little accessories they have released.
