anyone seen this in the flesh and will it stand up to the 10mm range or be way too big?
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

I've been wondering about the Khurasan gunship for the same purpose.

Being 15mm I reckon it should look big enough to hold a decent number of marines but not so big it looks ridiculous.

It will be primarily used as an objective - fight your way through the aliens, get to the dropship and get off-planet and "nuke them from orbit"

Not that that helps with your original question - sorry.

Think the cockpits would look way too big.

This is the fella that I use http://web.archive.org/web/20111227022921/http://oldcrowmodels.co.uk/6mm/dropship/armourl.gif

mind you I did buy 3 of the buggers, which in retrospect was a bit overkill.

Ideally it needs to be at least reminiscent of this:

I think ancelotti's workshop are doing one but I think its 15mm
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Antenocitis Workshop?

I know their 28mm vehicles, didn't realise they were going to do 15mm.

They have some nice print & fold sci-fi containers for many of the "baddie" corporations which you can download for free too.

I am sure I read in Wargames Miniature they were doing 15mm stuff now

It might be a touch too big, but I'm not sure.  Critical Mass have some 15mm dropships as well, and there a couple of things in Hawk Wargames lists maybe?

Ground Zero Games have some 15mm stuff that is on the smaller side of the scale?
