28mm Maelstrom Octantis-Pattern Battle Tank

Description

Maelstrom | Octantis-Pattern Battle Tank | Unpainted Resin | Wargaming Terrain by Maelstrom Designworks

📝 Description

The smaller cousin to the Polaris, the Octantis fulfils a similar role as a medium armoured scouting tank, capable of being outfitted as a speedy, hard-to-hit tank hunter or infantry transport. Compared to the Ursus-Minor, which is fielded as a main line battle tank, the Octantis has a much taller silhouette due to the additional compartments and crew space, making it vulnerable to ranged fire. However the extra space allows crews to rapidly swap out weaponry and wargear between operations (Properly ordained by a regiment or chapters Tech-Priest of course).

The Battle Tank variant is a full assault vehicle conversion, targeted at anti-infantry tactics. It carries a turret and multiple weapons, including on the side sponsons. The sponsons sport either Lascannons or Heavy Bolters. The turret carries either a Twin Lascannon or an Autocannon, a single Hellstrike Missile pod and a Heavy Stubber CROWS. Each weapon is hot-swappable.

🔍 Hobbyist Notes and Transparency

Transparency is our core value. Many wargaming terrain sellers use digital computer renders to hide the reality of their 3D prints. We are different. Our main photos are of the actual, raw, resin kit you will receive.

• Finish Details: Unpainted or Zenithal-primed items arrive ready for priming/painting to your custom design. Pro-Painted models are painted to a precise studio specification (please note there may be minor variations due to the hand-painted nature of the process). Pro-Painted items arrive fully finished and ready to play with just a small amount of assembly.
• Assembly: While no glue is necessary, you may like to permanently fix the main structure pieces together using superglue (cyanoacrylate) or epoxy resin. (Note: Standard plastic cement/poly cement will not bond with PLA or resin).
• Print Quality: Printing is carried out on our commercial-grade, high-resolution 16K / Ultra Resin printers using premium Elegoo Tough ABS-Like resin. This material is engineered for crisp panel lines, tight tolerances, and high impact resistance on the tabletop. We strictly inspect all components for flaws, but on occasion, minor cleaning up with a sharp hobby blade may be required prior to assembly.
• Resin Batches: Although we take steps to prevent it, slight color variations in the finished product may occur between resin batches. This does not affect the structural quality of the model, and priming or painting will completely conceal any variation.
• Note: Character models shown in images are for scale reference only and are not included in the set.
