Heavy Gears Southern faction to get a new toy...

    
    
Warning: Article may contain more pictures of gratuitous Mecha pr0n!!!

... the basta... well I guess NuCoal can't have all the cool looking toys can they? Although I think they should, well them and the PRDF, now that I have a PRDF force too! So here are the remaining two pretty pictures of the rather spiffing looking Hydra Strider (try saying that 10 times fast while patting your head and rubbing your tummy) along with some of the concept art:

Sexy profile shot. Just look at the cannon on that... phwoar!!!

Hydrolic pistons and exhaust pipes... so dirty!!!

And that piece of line drawing concept art I promised you!

As you can see it's totally cool looking. Things are certainly starting to hot up in preparation for the Southern factions Field Guide 'Forged in Fire'... oooohhhh, it sounds so manly! It's almost like Dream Pod 9 are on a one company mission to bloody bankrupt me. I'm hopeless at resisting the allure of shiny looking robots, here's hoping you guys are better at it than I am. My resistance is faltering... I feel... so weak... Peace out!

    1. Indeed. My thoughts did drift somewhat to days of yore and Battletech. Looks fracking sweet though doesn't it?

  3. How about the fact that its favorite way to hunt is to submerge itself and have a look around with its antenna to then unleash Hell on its unsuspecting victims?

  6. Is it resin or just a master?

    1. I think it's the master, but I believe it'll probably come in resin as many of their larger miniatures do. Certainly the larger PRDF and NuCoal stuff that I have is all in their rather nice resin.

  7. While this is really cool looking (and I want one!) I still think the Naga is the best looking Strider out there. It just looks... right. :)

    As I've been pondering what to put in a Southern army to oppose my Northeners, a Naga is always my first choice.

    Either way, definitely looking forward to the new book!

    1. Firstly I very nearly deleted this comment with help from Tybalt the cat. Little bloody rotter!!!

      Any who, I think you'll find once you've read about the 'ambushing' brute you might change you're mind about having them in your force! Read John Nguyen's comments above.

    1. Yeah I bet you are. Some of their new toys are looking ridiculously sexy. I'm very disappointed! :P

    2. Most of their stuff is very sexy indeed! Not that I'm biased and collecting them already - I went with the North too, to have a force to play against in demo games. ;)

    3. Don't be disappointed... Join the south! we have cake!
      And Hydras!
      (I'm not trying to bankrupt you I promise!)

    4. @Alfred, well I thought my own personal southern itch might be sorted by helping my mate paint his stuff. Like I did with another friends Northern faction. I thought it had done the trick. Trouble is... it hasn't.

      @Vitamin Bean, Well the NuCoal have Cake and Beer, plus loads of cool Hovertanks and the Hussar. So there. Plus some of the PRDF stuff will be super sweet when their Field Guide is released early next year. Besides... you can't pimp a pimper!!! :P

      Nice try though. ;)
