The
Huntsman Spider Tank is the invention of
Isembard Kickass Brunel, renown builder of awesome machinery. He
constructed it to counter the threat from the huge foot gangs that
swarm over the hills around his workshops. Highly motivated
opportunists and scavengers, the bandits steal pretty much everything
they can lay their filthy mitts on.
The Huntsman is driven by lovely
Micrathena. Her two extra cybernetic arms allow her to become spider
like in her movements. Her head gear creates a bond with the
spider-machine and she communes with it, guiding its movement rather than
controlling them!
Tam O'Rouke built and mans the bell
cannon mounted in the turret. The bell cannon derives it's name from
the casting process. The technology to engineer a cannon is the same
as for making bells. For a bell to sound properly, it must be made
from a perfect casting. Air bubbles or impurities will effect its
resonance. So with cannons, any weakness in the casting will produce
unreliable and dangerous barrels.
Fully armed and armoured, the Huntsman
Spider Tank is a machine designed to destroy hordes of rabble! Its
ingenious leg design allows it to traverse terrain even tracked
vehicles cannot negotiate.
This model ships with a turret. You
can also buy the kit with no turret included.
You can also buy all the pieces individually from our Tridlins section of this shop.

degree of experience. The model is cast from polyester resin which is
safe to handle. Supplied unassembled and unpainted. Model may have variations from images shown.
