Well? Would ya?



It's a hell yeah from me in both 15mm and 28mm.

Hopefully just retired rather than IP issues. Lets drum up some interest.

I would commit to a couple in 15mm, and maybe one in 28mm depending on the price.

28 mm - no, but you probably pretty much knew that from my earlier posts.

15 mm -  tempting but I can't commit because I don't have any 15 mm armies that would use it...

Gracias,

Glenn

I got two (that's one pictured) and I'd buy at least 5 more if I could! :)

I think he is reworking it and adding optional ducted lift fans to the sides.  But to answer your question, yes I would.

20mm if that. Pretty small for 28mm too big for 15mm. The diecast model wasn't the same as the little bird it was a larger flyer.

I've not named names, pm me if you need further info.

Not for me at the scale I would use (28 mm); the detail looks way too soft. Khurasan do some great stuff but I think given the quality in the future vehicles market I would not pick this up over something from say Atenociti's.

I'd love to get some.

I dunno how it would conflict with IP issues, it has enough different features to the air vehicles of said Game to not be considered the same.

In truth the Halo air vehicles have more in common with the Avatar film air vehicles.

The one in the game is far more angular and much bigger, it doesn't have the Littlebird style of passenger seating on the side, and it has two weapon stations that swing out of the side, missile pods etc.
