Title: Khurasan releases 15mm Federal Army VITRO clone troopers
Post by: Khurasan Miniatures on April 30, 2014, 05:06:49 PM

We are very pleased to release our latest 15mm sci fi models, the Federal Army VITROs.

Vitros are human clone soldiers who are organised into platoons and then attached to Federal divisions at the company level as needed before or during battle.  They are folded into the company's command structure, usually one platoon being added to bolster the company.

Vitros are the best infantry in the Federal Army – they have enhanced senses and are physically superior to in uteros, and are trained for combat virtually from the day they separate.  They are provided with distinctive armour and weapons to take advantage of their exceptional performance (and to clearly indicate that they are Vitros), the most unusual feature being the multi-lens combat helmet which gives the Vitro warrior a somewhat strange, alien appearance.

Vitro platoons are very small, just two squads of seven soldiers.  The first squad is led by a sergeant, the second squad by a corporal.  Each squad has the leader, a heavy pulser trooper, a missile launcher, a plasma pistol specialist, and three troopers with rifles. Unlike in squads of in utero troopers, which are mostly male, Vitro squads are made up of about equal numbers of males and females.

The Federal Army VITROs were sculpted by PF.  To read more about the VITROs, please read this blog post: http://khurasanminiatures.blogspot.com/2014/04/federal-army-vitros_30.html .

Just couldn't withstand the temptation any longer.

Bought these and a bunch of Mr Ks Federal Army stuff.

My already formidable Commonwealth and Eurasian forces are about to get a new enemy.

Like so many of the Khurasan models, I absolutely love these, but... I really hope that you (someday) find an EU distributor for your figs. Every parcel intercepted by customs in the UK comes with a stiff fixed-charge, and I am unlucky enough with the frequency of such interceptions that it completely puts me off ordering from US/Canada.  :'(

(Then again, given my lead-pile, maybe it's for the best!  lol)
