The M-999A2 Atomic Ajax Munition is a devastating, heavy tactical bomb. Huzzah!

The large and brutish burrower bugs; a significant threat to conventional MI forces.

With no formal combat training, Jayne handled the XW-269-A7 Nemo Plasma Launcher as if she were one of the MI. With short, controlled bursts of superheated ionised gas, she kept the bugs at bay; twisted and smoking, arachnid corpses littered the terrain -

Overview

From publisher: Stand by for the hottest action in 30mm science fiction gaming. Released in late March, Starship Troopers will bring the action of the novel, film and TV series straight to your tabletop in a fast-to-learn wargame.

Do you want to know more?

Collect armies of the Mobile Infantry, Arachnids and Skinnies (and that is just for starters - there are far more aliens out there in the galaxy!) and compete for the very survival of your species.

Written by Andy Chambers, the all new Starship Troopers miniatures game is a full blown sci-fi slaughter fest pitting the rugged Mobile Infantry against the full weight of the Arachnids. This box set provides everything you need to get started in the Starship Troopers game and includes;

A complete rulebook detailing both basic and advanced rules, as well as background material on the universe of Starship Troopers.

20 plastic Arachnid Warrior Bugs, a good start to any full size Arachnid army.

2 Squads of 8 Mobile Infantry Cap Troopers each with full weapon options including Javelin missile launcher Triple Thud grenade launcher, Hel infantry flamer, CC-176ER shock stick and, of course the trust Moritas rifle.

More punch out templates than you can shake a dead Hopper Bug at! Includes Tunnel Markers, Bug Nests, Lethal Zones and complete air support, such as Flamberge support missiles, Viking transports and TAC Fighters.

A complete card Bunker, ready to protect your MI in defensive missions. You will come to value this structure dearly. . .

Full army lists detailing everything we plan on releasing for both Arachnids and Mobile Infantry this year. You will not have to wait for an update to start using units such as Marauders, Tanker Bugs, SICON Observers, Hopper Bugs and many others.

It's a battle for the species - whose side are you on?
