Dystopian Wars Giants Out of the Factory

The Prussian owned Metzger Robot is available to pre-order now from Spartan Games. Check out the massive beast below...
One hell of a hulking monstrosity this. It is available as stated above for pre-order now and will be ready for shipping come August 16th.
Will you be buying one of these robots for yourself?
I like the paint job as the blend of streaks is well done. What’s not to like about a giant robot that stomps on farmer fields… unless your a farmer. In that case its tilling the soil.
Without doubt my favourite Dystopian Wars miniature, and it is one of those brilliant mechanical creations which crop up now and then which can easily be used in games of all sorts of scales.
From being the massive warmachine it is designed to be, to just a fairly large combat bot in 54mm.
Yeah one of my faves as well, too bad I don’t play Prussians… Might pick one up anyway though 😀
The base is really good and gives it a nice sense of scale. Reminds me of Stitch stomping through the toy city wrecking stuff (save me!).
Or is that just me?
It’s not just you…
I would pick one up and file away the prussian cross on its forehead, and have a generic giant robot for 28mm or 30mm scale…
Or have an alternate robot figure for SMOG 1888 in 54mm !
And what luck, they’re sold at my local game store !
Mmh… Now all I need is more money…

Thats very retro looking giant robot. Reminds me about those old school giant robots from 70’s anime.
I know it’s supposed to be kitsche and all, and the paint job is lovely (‘Eavy Metal, I hope one of you are paying attention!), but it still isn’t quite doing it for me. I love DW, I play Prussians (sometimes…), but… well, I’ll just say the jury’s still out on this one.
Sorry, Schlock is probably a better term then Kitsch. 😉
