New HAROOK Releases

We are happy to announce the release of the second wave of releases for our 15mm aliens...The Harook.

 

3 new sets are being offered: 2 Plasma Gunners, 2 SAW Gunners and a pair of Snipers with a Targeting Drone. Each will be sold separately so Harook players and collectors can customize their forces as they wish.

Housekeeping and a Preview!

Right, first off, my announcement about the message board was very premature and I don't really feel like putting the effort into maintaining something like that.  I'll leave it to folks to just contact me through email or on forums to offer feedback.  Maybe it will happen in the future...you never know.

In happier news, here are a few WIP shots of the Harook Grav Heavy Weapon Platforms I am working on.  The kit will include both guns and 2 crew members as well.  No definite date on this one but I hope to have it ready for casting by mid-summer.

The Harook Special Weapons are currently at the caster, as is our first 28mm Sci Fi offering. That's all for now.

Harook Dropship Preview

Below is a finalized render of the Harook Dropship.  We're shooting for a spring release on this.  Hopefully this will really drive home how serious Mad Robt is about making the Harook a full-featured, complete line.  This beauty was modeled by a talented artist named Joy Horvath.  You will see more from her...I promise.

Feel free to let me know what you think.

New Greens for the Harook!!

We’re happy to share a preview of the latest 15mm release from Mad Robot Miniatures! This is the next wave of releases for the Harook, the enigmatic avian aliens we have all come to love. 

They will be sold as pairs, 2 plasma Gunners, 2 SAW Gunners with shoulder mounted launchers, and 2 Snipers with Targeting Drone.

These detailed sculpts were done by the un-official father of the Harook...Pedro Navaro

We anticipate these to be released in late April. Thanks to all who have supported Mad Robot! Look for some more new release announcements in the next month.

TMC Auslanders

So, last time I shared a little preview of a new project that has been bubbling in the old noggin.  It takes a note from the comic Alien Legion but goes in a little bit darker direction.  The word Auslander is Germanic in origin and roughly translates into "out lander" or "alien".

The Tachyon Mercenary Corps sees the diverse mix of alien races in the galaxy as a fertile breeding ground for specialist troops.  Ever determined to gain any tactical edge possible, the TMC employ Auslander units as exotic use troops, capable of being deployed in almost any situation.  The bonus for the TMC is that Auslanders are equally at home on the front line of a standard conflict.


Rumor has it that some commanders believe the Auslander unit should be the building block for a stand alone force.  To this day it is still speculation, but it may speak to why the TMC only deploys limited numbers of these units in any given theatre.

This new range idea will provide me some fun in developing new alien races, something I am very keen to do.  These will be released in 15mm, release date is TBD.  It will be a while until I get these where I want them.

I'm posting these here so I can get feedback from people.  If you have ideas or suggestions about any of these concepts I post, please email them to me or leave a comment here on this blog.  The following are 2 concepts I have so far...they are still WIP.

Top Secret Data File Decoded!

From "Tactical Methods, vol. 4" of the (designation classified) Martial Strategies...

"The very nature of the (designation classified) allows it to draw upon an almost infinite number of possible races to fill its ranks.  One of the more exotic approaches the (designation classified) currently fields is known as the Auslander Unit.  The commanders of these units are given free reign to choose the mix of races that will best allow him to accomplish the mission at hand.  Some have questioned the logic of such an idea, given the infighting that may result, but the (designation classified) sticks by this method as a way of combining specialists into a manageable, tactical unit."
