NEW BITS – The 28mm Scale Hunter Heavy Walker

By Rob Baer | December 30th, 2015 | Categories: BITS, Tabletop Gaming Products, Warhammer 40k Rumors

Heavy walker FR-340

Part walker, part mech, and all attitude! Checkout this new 28mm scale walker from Albino Raven minis that’s nearly four inches tall!

To say he’s 28mm scale is a little underwhelming I suppose because this “miniature” stands 95mm tall (bout 4 inches) and is on a 60 mm base!

A multipurpose killing machine, FR-340, better known as “Hunter”, is called that way not for nothing. Modern experimental observations systems, first time ever installed on robot work perfectly with homing missiles HHH-2 type. No matter, who should be killed – a living creature or a machine, the newest aiming system are able to store information about dislocation and movement of 30 military units. FR-340’s accurate sensors are capable of finding out enemy on 5 km distance, no matter where they hide. Missiles effective casualty radius reaches 10 km, so robot also can use intelligence to aim.

However, the mech is far from powerless in a close combat. Two heavy armour-piercing machine-guns easily give short shrift to any light-armour enemies, who may come too close.

Cast in resin, 95mm tall and has a 60mm base.

Over all looks like some solid POSEABLE detail there, with a ton of conversion potential for the Grim Dark. Is this another great miniature that Games Workshop doesn’t want you to see?

All systems nominal!
