Another Behemoth Immunocyte for Zone Raiders

 Hello and Welcome Back.

Now we return back to the artificial world of Matrioshka, in the post singularity setting of the Zone Raiders game. 

There are a many types of Immuncyte threats to the denizens of the Matrioshka world of Zone Raiders. The larger ones are known as behemoths. 

 

 This example of a Behemoth has been created in the form of a giant spider. No one knows who created it. Was it one of the post humans or was it created by the Matrioshka after the singularity event?  Armed with deadly powered mandibles, bladed legs and a heavy plasma cannon this ancient machine heeds the call of the other Immuncytes and joins the hunt to destroy all sentient life in the Matrioshka.

 

This model is a 40K Necron Spyder I got for Christmas a couple of years ago.  Necrons fit the descriptions of Immuncytes in the Zone Raiders fluff quite nicely. As many Immunocyte in the Matrioshka are aeons old I went for a rusty paint job.

 

I seem to have quite a force of Immucytes for Zone Raiders, maybe I should get a game in some time. Although I need more industrial looking space station terrain. I will also need to figure out just what to use as the dreaded Meta Demon....

Thanks for reading and take care out there.

Reaper Immunocytes

Hello and Welcome back,

Its been a while, a bit of hobbying has been going on in the background but its taking time to get things finished. For a while I have been looking for suitable figures for Reaper Immunocytes for the Matrioshka setting in the Zone Raiders game. I finally settled on these figures.

They are multipart 3D prints found on Etsy. I found this figures very fiddly to assemble. To make things worse the figures are incredibly fragile. They have lost many arms already, I suppose it is expected to see ancient killer robots with some damage. These are huge figures, take a look at one next to a 28mm figure.

In addition to causing trouble for Zone Raid crews in the Matrioshka, I am planning on these killer robots to turn up as a hazard in a bunker for the poor folks surviving on Mattblackgod’s World.

Thanks for looking

Take care out there. 

Behemoth Immunocyte for Zone Raiders.

Hello and Welcome Back.

Now we return to the world of Matrioshka, the post singularity setting of the Zone Raiders game. 

There are a few types of Immunocyte threats in the Matrioshka world of Zone Raiders. Some of the larger ones are known as behemoths. 

This is an example of a Behemoth. Armed with a autocannon, heavy plasma cannon and power axe. It hunts down all sentient life in the Matrioshka.

This model started as a DND Titan magical robot. The hammer arm was replaced with a weapon from a Robogear model. A cream tube cap made a new muzzel. The autocannon was built from a couple of bits of tubing and the muntion feed from the orignal Robogear model. Some power cables were made from greenstuff to finish off. 

As many Immunocyte in the Matrioshka are aeons old I went for a rusty paint job. I did attempt some object source lighting on the model but I don't think it worked too well. 

Thanks for reading and take care out there.

Harvester Immuncytes

Hello and welcome back,

I have always been drawn to the background and setting of the Zone Raiders game. For those that don’t know it is a hard Sci Fi post apocalyptic setting on a Matrioshka world (think immense artificial world/Uber super computer built around a Dyson sphere).

One of the perils of the setting is the  Immunocytes - machines created by the post humans to deal with sentient life in the Matrioshka. 

The main Immunocytes are the Harvesters which sound like the usual skelebots.

From the ZR rule book:

“Harvesters are the most commonly encountered Immunocyte. Usually humanoid in configuration, they act as sentries or roving hunters. Each one has a high-powered projectile weapon as well as inhumanly strong bladed thrusts to tear apart unfortunate lifeforms.

Harvesters are a common boogeyman in most cultures, distinguished by their wailing electronic screech upon spotting a fresh target. Wary Zone Raiders can sense their presence by the uneasy tingling of ionized radiation their bodies output when in hunter-killer mode.”

I found these cheap Necrons on eBay, assembled and painted. Saved me a job. As most of the Immunocytes are eons old I chose to age these Necrons. This was done by mixing bestial brown with dark brown wash. After a few applications I painted the eyes and sorted the bases. As the tunnels of  Matrioshka are ancient they are covered with dust and dirt so I chose this over a metal plate base.

Base wise I chose a typical Post Apocalyptic style as I also plan to use these on Mattblackgod’s world as another wasteland hazard. I like the thought of a bunch of salvagers wandering into a field of immobile killer skelebots hoping they don’t suddenly activate. 

Now I have to figure out machines for the Reaper Immunocytes.

Thanks for looking, take care out there.
