April Preview: Hyperion Heavy Troopers

Added 2022-03-31 18:07:13 +0000 UTC

Hey there all! As promised, troopers clad in Hyperion-Class Heavy Armour are here, wielding two handed siege hammers and armed with two shoulder-mounted reaper cannons.

This, to date, is the single most customisable kit I've made, and you can see them here standing atop 32mm bases. Included are five pre-posed pairs of legs, three pairs of arms wielding their hammers in two hands, and two arms with a hammer in one hand, and four arms with their hands free (including, as pictured here, a pointing arm and an arm showing how excited he is to be at Download Festival). Also, all of the reaper cannons simply rest on the shoulderplates, so you can choose to pose them elevated or levelled for direct fire, or have only a single cannon on one shoulder, or no cannons at all!

In addition, in the extras folder, you'll find two extra torso variants, one like the above without the grille and one with no astronaut helmet or backpack, so you can kitbash whatever you like to it. Also, both helmeted torsos are hollow, so you can print them in transparent resin and put heads or skulls inside them!

Included also in this kit are 5 leg poses at different angles with ball joints to attach each foot to each leg, and a ball joint to connect each leg to the waist, and the torso sits on a ball joint on top of the waist. In addition, the arms will also connect to the torso via ball joints, so you can make absolutely any sort of pose that you can imagine.

This will not be the last you see of these models either, I have a lot of plans for variants of these in future, so be prepared! And don't forget, tomorrow's exclusive mystery model is coming too!
