New Heavy Gear Blitz – Eden Faction – Saker Hover Vehicle and Serpentina Hovertank Resin Miniatures Available Now!
We received the first copies of the Saker Hover Vehicle and Serpentina Hovertank resin miniatures this week from Fusion Models, who make all our resin kit parts. The Saker includes a round 40mm base and the all variant parts (rocket platform and APC upgrade). You can assemble and paint up the basic Saker Squire variant (empty flatbed) transport vehicle and easily add the separate APC part or rocket platform part on top to make the other variants. The Serpentina Hovertank includes a round 40mm base and all the variant parts (Medium Tank Gun, Medium Artillery Gun, Medium Anti-Tank Missiles, Light Artillery Missiles, Heavy Machine Gun, and Dominus Comms upgrade part).
We had Frank Washburn paint up a couple of Saker and Serpentina resin miniatures, he did an amazing job. Check out how they turned out below, including product sheet images, resin parts photos, preview images, and a photo of the 2 Sakers and 2 Serpentinas along with other HGB minis from above for size comparison.
The two new miniature packs are available now to order on the Dream Pod 9 Online Store, here is a link to the new releases section for all interested.
