Two New Mechs Ready For Battle From White Dragon Miniatures
June 9, 2015 by brennon
White Dragon Miniatures are doing really well with their Marine Tactical Unit 15mm Scale Kickstarter and that means more stretch goals. The latest of these to be unlocked are the Strix Mechs with something big and brutal just around the corner...
The Strix
The first miniatures we mentioned above were The Strix Mechs which are a range of robotic soldiers built for recon missions ahead of the main force. They typically fight with their high calibre machine guns, smoke launchers, and come with an on board ECM and surveillance suite.
You'll get two of these in a pack and they stand at around 30mm high when compared to the rest of the 15mm troopers. Slowly but surely things are getting bigger again! I think these are another great complimentary troop when stood next to the standard trooper and I would certainly rely on robots to do some important recon rather than risking human soldiers.
The Fiddler
Talking of things getting bigger White Dragon have also said that the big £10,000 stretch goal will have them bringing back The Fiddler Mech back to 15mm scale for this range. They've managed to grab the rights to bring it into the canon of the game and it certainly fits in!
It comes armed with a variety of guns on the shoulders including that rather impressive looking gatling gun. It also has arms on the front, hence the 'fiddler' moniker, allowing it to actually interact and manipulate objects on the battlefield. It has a very Metal Gear Solid feel to it.
Have you pledged yet?

The alternate proteus mech with railgun looks rather tasty aswell. I have gone in for 18 quid just to pick up a proteus mech (standard) but as i got some fireteams at salute I’ll be getting everything I purchased from them at salute again aswell (as are everyone who purchased minis from them at salute) great minis and company run by cool people, they are doing a great job!
Very nice. Damn you, 15mm 🙂 .
15mm gets all the best toys!!!
I’d gladly trade you some for some 15mm 40k stuff.
Yeah, both these mechs, for me, look much better than the Proteus. The feet of the Strix again look perhaps a bit small, but the Fiddler looks very nice.
Hope we can get it to 10k, this looks sweet!
That Fiddler Mech does look absolutely awesome, and as you say could have come straight from a Metal Gear game or the Ghost in the Shell setting.
Those add on prices cant be right surely.
£5 for 6 15mm models surely not?
I’d bet they’re big models, A lot of manufacturer’s sets retain retain a similar price for a lower model count when they’re bigger models.
Ever since I first spotted the ‘Fiddler’s art work years ago I always wanted a mini and now I have a chance to get it. Even at 15mm it will be big enough to actually use with the games I play.
the mech looks good.
