Wargames Atlantic 28mm Death Fields The Damned Mauler (Plastic Model Kit)
The Wargames Atlantic The Damned Mauler is a 28mm scale hard plastic military vehicle kit featuring one multi-part fighting vehicle with a dedicated gunner designed for sci-fi tabletop wargaming. This Death Fields Collection set provides the workhorse of The Damned mechanized cavalry, featuring interchangeable build options for a stripped-down fast-attack flatbed or an up-armored enclosed troop transport, all molded in high-detail gray plastic. The Iron Behemoth of the Death Fields Circuit INFERNUM ROTIS! "Hell on wheels!" When infantry and cavalry cannot win the day, The Damned call upon the crushing power of their armored motor pools. The workhorse of their mechanized force is the Mauler—a rugged, versatile armored platform engineered to endure the harshest planetary warzones. Whether serving as a stripped-down "technical" for high-speed flanking actions or an up-armored, turreted troop transport charging enemy fortifications, the Mauler dominates the arena floor. Surviving on the artificial battlefields of the Death Fields Circuit demands brutal firepower and relentless tactical adaptability. The Damned rely on the Mauler's six-wheel all-terrain chassis, armored forward hull, and customizable weapon mounts to deploy heavy gun teams and deliver zealous infantry straight into the fire of combat. Hobbyist Versatility & Armored Modifications Sculpted by Rob Macfarlane, with box vehicle and gunner painting by Tristan Thomas and supporting Damned infantry by Jez Allum and Cult of Paint, this modular hard plastic kit brings mechanized sci-fi warfare to life. The box features three unique component sprues that let you build the Mauler in two distinct tactical variants: an open flatbed configuration designed to accommodate a full heavy weapons team, or a fully enclosed, up-armored armored personnel carrier (APC) with a top access hatch and weapon cupola. From this box, you can build: · Open-Bed Fast Attack Technical with diamond-plate rear bed, side railings, and access ladder · Enclosed Armored Troop Transport with armored side paneling, firing slits, and rear crew hatch · Rotary Gatling Gun or Heavy Autocannon forward and turret weapon options · Dedicated Damned Vehicle Gunner with gas-mask headgear and pintle-mount machine gun Tip: When painting multi-wheel armored fighting vehicles, paint the rubber tires and chassis assembly in sub-assemblies before final hull attachment. Applying an enamel rust and grime wash into the recessed rivet lines and wheel hubs creates a realistic, weathered look across camouflage armor plates.
