ClearHorizon Preview Vehicles For Land & Air Coming Soon
October 29, 2014 by brennon
Keeping with the theme of 15mm Sci-Fi we're also having a look at some more previews from ClearHorizon Miniatures for their range. As well as the Nemesis Light Strike Vehicle they've also shown off a concept for the Aurora Stealth Jet too...
Both of these will be produced in that smaller scale of 15mm that seems to be gathering momentum when it comes to Sci-Fi gaming. If you're looking for a game to play with these kind of miniatures then Gruntz seems to be the one to aim for.
There have of course been cries to make that rather awesome looking Nemesis vehicle into a 28mm kit and I think everyone would agree that that would be awesome indeed.
Do you play Gruntz?
Great design on the vehicle: Anti-mine sort of configuration, good slope to the armour, reasonable weapon in the turret, given the size of the vehicle. Even a PTO winch on the front. Not sure about those little bits of armour in front of the tires. Not sure what they’re protecting… minor issue.
Looking forward to the aircraft mini as well. Has a Raptor style tail, presumable to cloak exhaust heat, and a good overall vectored thrust design.
Thank you!
I believe the armor (armour) in front of the tires would most likely to keep vegetation and terrain from damaging them, much like a brush guard. It also provides a place where soldiers could take cover and provides further protection for the vehicle.
Hmmm… not quite sold on those brush guards. I’d like them better if they extended high enough to protect the tire entirely. I’m also thinking a WWII Sherman hedgerow cutter design might be more appropriate, and would look cool as well. Otherwise, great job!
