Cnidocytes, Alien Race (pic heavy)
« on: May 09, 2014, 10:33:33 PM »
Hi Guys,

This is the first Sci Fi wargaming release, due this weekend, from www.openfirefigures.com . We're previewing the figures at the moment. Originally designed with 15mm gaming in mind, the general feedback we've received is that they'll also be useful / useable in 28mm games (not only sci fi but also Fantasy and Dungeon Crawls).

Lots more to come tomorrow.





















































These are previews, each pack will have 3 variants of each genus (excluding the Heavy / tank genus)

We have more genus and another heavy genus being photographed at the moment.

Cheers!

A new Heavy for our upcoming Cnidocytes range.

The Spawner Genus carries out various roles on the battlefield. It is a fearsome close combat beast, capable of piercing the thickest armour with is proboscis.

It also carries egg sacs along its sides and is able  to spawn Drones at a constant rate. The newly formed drones are delivered via a fleshy opening at the rear of the creature.

Spawners are born with in excess of 1000 eggs inside of their sacs. Once these have all matured into drones the Spawner effectively becomes infertile. At this stage in their lives Spawners have been seen to act at biological APCs. Various Genus have been seen entering and exiting Spawners as they move across the battlefield. Injured Cnidocytes have been observed to enter a Spawner only to re-emerge shortly after fully regenerated.







Cheers!

Good of you to join just to make commercial posts in the wrong place.

Folks, specific product releases or previews are supposed to go onto the topical boards, so this one is quite fine as it is. No need to move it.

Nice isn't the right word but I am very much looking forwards to seeing these painted up in great hordes of fungus like jellyfish things floating across the battlefield.

Also starting to think how I would stat these in Fireteam Andromeda, surprisingly feasible with some creative thinking actually.

Very cool, and very Alien! Definitely far more exotic than the usual humanoid beings from another world.
