If you haven't seen them yet, check out the latest Avatar toys from McFarlane toys. They have one series that looks to be right about 1:50 scale (30-32mm or so, if that's your preferred reference). Check out the RDA Seawasp, the CET-OPS Crabsuit, and the Amp suit with driver. They were on the pegs at my local Target today.

Good catch! They were mentioned in the thread on toys but not everyone looks at that.

I wonder if there will be Avatar models too? I guess it depends how it does.

I haven't built and photographed mine, but Xabungle kits from the 80s are back in production and 10-16 bucks each. Mostly odd smaller scaled Mecha that might be useable as large robots, but there's a 1/48 personal hover skimmer thing that scales up well with 28mm. I remember seeing some of these in wargaming kitbashing back in the 90's but they've been out of production for a very long time.

I have a feeling these will not be around for long, so jump now if you see one you like.

That is a darned impressive vehicle. I wonder how it sizes up against GW tanks. I bit it's pretty massive.

Saw it a couple weeks back on Volks Japan. 100$ at the current exchange rate is a bit too much.

Anybody know how these scale with miniatures?

Says the little mini figure is 1.25 inches high, so it eyeballs pretty well...

They scale great. There is a great gunship and a crab Mech also.
By way of comparison, the figure in the box is 37mm sole to eye.

The manufacturer Border Models is expanding its Command & Conquer range with the 1/35 Grizzly Battle Tank - this model kit could be used as a stand in for the Rogal Dorn Battle Tank in Warhammer 40.000 games.



One of the perks of this model kit is, that you do not need glue or paint (if you want to build it out of the box).
Happy hunting to all of you.

It's a cool design and one I didn't know about as I didn't play C&C back in my rts days though I did play Starcraft which had a similar unit apparently. Do you just remove the tank wheels/tracks when it transforms to its emplacement mode?



edit: For those wondering, 1/35th scale looks to be slightly smaller than the old Inquisitor line so hatches on this will be pretty big compared with 40k figs especially non-primaris.

The variant model looks weird, my initial thought was the drone tank, but that was not a direct copy of the Grizzly.

28 mm heroic is like 1:56 in height, but at least 1:35 in width. 1:35 hatches work fine for 40k.

fairly sure it is meant to be the defensive turret, which in Red Alert 1 was a turret off the "medium tank" (what later games would call the grizzly) on a fixed fortification. while the game icon showed it on a concrete bunker, it being a deployable stabilization mount would fit better.

This is my experience with 1/35 models and 28mm as well. Hatches and doors that a 1/35 (54mm) true scale figure is supposed to crouch or wiggle through look great alongside 28mm heroic figures.

I've still got a 1/35 M113 that I did up as a Rhino 20 years ago.

And a 1/65 TIE from the Germans.

No wonder they lost the war. Lack of communication and planning.
