The one week turn around was a bit of a favour but Rob is pretty fast anyway. As are the rest of their team.

The walkers are Royal Navy "Stallion Steam Strider" Heavy Reconnaissance Walkers. Initially developed for deployment in the swamps of Venus, they are now seeing wider use throughout the Empire. While lacking the heavy armour of a steam tank, the Stallion's armour is perfectly capable of repelling native weapons and regular arms fire. This lower armour is more than offset by it's ability to handle irregular terrain and perhaps most importantly, make the Stallion light enough to be carried via Aeronef. This allows Naval Landing Parties to rapidly deploy with armoured support.


GZG/Eureka minis Steam Charger tank with the tracks left off. The legs are from GW Sentinals with the front pair reversed. Very easy conversions but definitely one of my favourites.

Simple but VERY effective.
