Khurasan previews 15mm "Hunchback" Tactical Support Craft

[Khurasan Miniatures]

The Hunchback is a Federal Navy fleet tactical support craft used for fleet battles, fire support for opposed planetary landings, and strike missions.  In addition to its huge forward thruster, it has VTOL grav engines to permit it to hover in place, providing fire support for Cormorant landings in close proximity to enemy positions.  The ideal force structure is one Hunchback for every two Cormorants -- the Hunchback immediately precedes the landers and engages enemies with its heavy armament of four PBCs (particle beam cannons).  The Hunchback's LYNCH weaponry (low yield nuclear missiles) can also be deployed against targets away from the landing site.

In fleet actions squadrons of Hunchbacks are launched to attack an enemy capital ship from a different vector than the mother ship, using their LYNCH weaponry to drop shields so they may attack the exposed target with their PBCs. 

The kit mounts on the base the same way as our popular Mekanoid Hatchet gunship, using a ball that mounts onto the flight rod, which in turn attaches to a hemispherical hole in the bottom of the craft, so that it may be depicted at many different angles.  Landing gear may be mounted down or up -- both options are provided with the basic kit, as are the LNYCH missiles. 

Here are some images of the kit, depicting Slightly Dangerous, squadron leader's ship of 90th TacSupp Squadron, embarked aboard FNS Dogger Bank:











We'll be releasing this and the Cormorant Infantry Lander in the next few days, probably early Friday morning.

Do you have any release plans for 28 mm that you would like to share with us?

I like the Hunchback... nice and curvy but still with a utilitarian slant to it

Nice.

Seriously, nice vehicle!

Very soon indeed! Frighteningly soon, in fact (perhaps next week).  :-)
