(Commercial) Colony 87 Beasts of Burden
« on: June 11, 2023, 11:04:36 AM »
We have some additions to our Colony 87 range with some Beasts of Burden - four new resin kits including an unladen Sandtreader, Pack Animal, Water Carrier and mounted Trader.

https://crooked-dice.co.uk/product-category/colony-87/

Affectionately known as Sandtreaders, or simply Treaders, the Tul-Hruk are hardy, lumbering reptiles used as beasts of burden and mounts across Cerberus. Sculpted by Andrew May based on concepts by Will Beck. Painted for display by Andrew Taylor and Simon Bradley.

Those are very cool. I think I like the orange one the best. Any chance of having them with fantasy cargo in mind? (probably not but doesn't hurt to ask)

There is something delightfully Moebius-like about a lot of the Colony 87 range, I really like it.  :)

Are there other load options planned, do you know? I'm thinking maybe more soft cargo, sacks and rolls rather than boxes?

Very nice addition.
