Following last week's release of the new Raxa Light Attack Ship there were requests from the wargaming community for more information about this 15mm scale kit. Specifically how would it compare to miniatures in the smaller 6mm scale and the larger 28mm scale. Would it work for them? We like to think that this article gives a response firmly in the affirmative.
Above an example of all three scales. In 28mm scale this is a big drone for your tabletop. In 15mm it is a two crew light flyer for air support. In 6mm scale it is a dropship which can carry a platoon of armoured infantry or several light vehicles.
As you can see next to the Bradley Miniatures 6mm Science Fiction vehicles and our 6mm Arid World Terrain range the Raxa looks like a platoon carrying dropship much like the BR027 Corvo Dropship which is about the same size but with less of a wing span. Perhaps the Raxa is a lander used by an alien race invading a Human world.
Now this is interesting. In 28mm scale next to an Ion Age Betrayer and the Space Rangers Officer from Alternate Stars range the Raxa becomes an automated machine used to soar over the enemy and record their movements. Perhaps it is a one man recon flyer?
In its native scale the Raxa is a two crew flyer which belongs to the Space Raptor aliens the Chuhuac. Seen here next to the Security Force Alpha (from the HOF 15mm Science Fiction Range) trooper and the Bulldog Anti-Grav APC it fits in well in military terms. When placed with the Octopod Aliens and Corporate Ashigaru it seems more like a civilian flyer or a corporate armed drone.
We hope you enjoyed this little alternative view of the new vehicle.

An excellent assessment. While the Raxa was designed as a single being + AI flyer for the Chuhuac, there is absolutely no reason it can't be fit into other scales and forces. The clean lines do make it nice in 28mm as a drone.
ReplyDeleteThank you. We agree on its many uses and it is a lovely thoughtful design for sure.
