Sloth Cargo Vehicles from Ainsty Castings

Here's a range of futuristic industrial vehicles from Ainsty Castings... the Sloth Cargo Crawler...
When so many vehicle models are designed to be "combat vehicles" its good to see something that's a bit more utilitarian.
These would make for great objectives or scenario based units that needed to be escorted or protected.
Of course you could always convert them to be more "combat ready". The Flatbed especially has Marauder Truck written all over it!
Am concerned that the Sloth and trailers might be carrying toxic or radioactive materials
With such a narrow wheel base it is asking for trouble! 😉
Although I still like them and they would be good just as cover/LoS breakers
That’s a good point. Use them as terrain/scenery and you could play on a nearly flat table… perhaps a road on a desert planet… add a few sand dunes… hmmm
I think they look OK and it is nice to see some non-combat vehicles. Every army has loads more of this sort of thing than heavy armour, but you see models so rarely (though Antenociti is also doing a lot of light vehicles now).
What I do think is a shame is that it’s a solid piece. The big window just reminds me that I can’t break it and see the interior. This is especially obvious is using it as a terrain piece/wreck. I suppose it keeps the price down though.
As useable transports they dont work for me, look to top heavy with poor wheelbase and awful tyres. If i had them they would be terrain for cover.
At least they are original, maybe a marmite thing?
hmmm dont think I meant original…lets try edit button and change it to different
Don’t know about “Marmite” either.
They’d be a bugger to spread on your toast! 😛
