As major influence in our pursuit of getting our own resin toys off the ground, it always comes with great pleasure to find out what Rivet Wars creator Ted Terranova has lined up next… and boy are we in for a treat this time! Since the release of the Quad Stug box set last month, Ted has been busy creating a new batch of grunts alongside a very special vehicle that’s been at the top of our want list for some time… the Death Monowheel!
Joining the original 50mm Allied Grunt, Ted has designed a further four characters to join the fray, two heavily armed Blight’s alongside two more Allied designs. Ted explains his intentions for the set-
“I’ve been playing around with sculpts for the grunts. I wanted to really differentiate the blight from the allies so the blight are more anti-tank/armor guys with rocket launchers similar to the German panzer foust. The blight will also sport some sweet facial hair and more ceremonial looking outfits.”
News on the Monowheel is a little less forthcoming, with the above 3D sculpts just coming with the tag-line “And behold, a smoking iron wheel, and he who sat on it, his name was Death”. We’re kind of hoping that the track wheel moves separately to the main body of the vehicle, but as we all know, the limitations of working in resin may hinder the figures practicality. Expect more news on the development of these two projects soon… Ted has stated that the Grunts are already making their way to the printers now, so we should be seeing some test shots in the near future!
