The potency of Axis walkers dominated battlefields in a most satisfactory fashion until the Allies could bring their own walkers into service. Once they did so, however, the rough handling being meted out at close quarters by highly mobile bipedal walkers prompted a re-examination of Axis walker ...

The Panzer IV has served as the Wehrmacht’s armoured workhorse for over 10 years. With the birth of Rift-technology and the advent of ‘walker warfare’, and following the success of the Spinne, the dependable Panzer IV chassis was retrofitted to create a multi-legged variant as a stop-gap measure ...

The Spinne Light Panzermech, combining the agility of an infantryman with the armour and firepower of a heavily built armoured car. The Spinne (Spider) speed and agility makes it almost the perfect recce vehicle for close terrain and urban environments. The open-turret allows the gunner/commande...

The Thor panzermech is designed to enter the toughest urban environments and deal with entrenched infantry. Well armoured and armed it does its job far too well for most opponent’s liking. Although it is often the Zeus Heavy Panzermech that claims much of the prestige associated with the German ...

The Vogelspinne scuttles across the battlefield on six legs, bringing to bear a variety of deadly weapons that can be turned to any task. The Panzerkampfgeher II Vogelspinne started life as an improved 'heavy' variant developed from the Spinne by adding an extra pair of legs to reduce the wear on...

In response to improving Allied and Soviet armour a new version of the Pz.Kpfg. V, the Ausf.B 'Wotan', was designed to operate as a tank hunter in challenging terrain. This variant has its turret modified to take the formidable 150mm KwK 44 super-heavy anti-tank gun. With the steady introduction ...

The Guardian light walker had originally proved adequate in supporting the infantry in urban environments and difficult terrain, but it began to struggle as Axis anti-walker techniques improved. Although impressed by the capabilities of the new US Kodiak close assault walker the Commonwealth dec...

The Merlin represents the pinnacle of Commonwealth walker design by complementing its human crews with an onboard automated management 'brain' called Guinevere. In addition to its two fists, the Merlin utilises a 3” anti-tank gun as its main weapon. Arm mounted twin .50cal heavy machine guns and...

Once the United States Armed forces had received the M8 Grizzly medium walker in sufficient numbers, excess production was diverted to the Commonwealth under the lend-lease scheme. By this time, research into equipping Commonwealth vehicles, including walkers, with automated assistance systems w...

The deployment of USMC Grizzly medium walkers to the Pacific posed a serious tactical problem for the Japanese. Developing a similar medium walker to counter it entirely from scratch would be too time-consuming. Again, the Imperial leadership turned to their (then) Axis allies who offered to exp...

The success of the Type 6 armed with the Light Shiboru Cannon led to the development of the Type 7. This improved on the previous design by incorporating an elongated chassis, leaving the crew less cramped, and a pair of front-mounted ‘claws’ equally useful for cutting through dense undergrowth ...

After their initial encounter with the Axis Spinne walker, Soviet forces diligently endeavoured to capture an example. Demonstrating characteristic Soviet determination, scientists and engineers of Science City 4 succeeded in reverse-engineering much of the technology. This, along with plans for...

Despite the successes of the Kazak light walker, Soviet forces experienced significant losses from every encounter with Axis heavy Panzer walkers. A swift countermeasure was necessary. The OKMO design bureau at the Bolshevik Factory in Leningrad was assigned the task of developing Objekt 231. a ...

M8 Grizzly Medium Assault Walker the first truly practical walker designed using Rift technology; the Grizzly is a watchword in rugged and practical design. Armed with the proven 75mm gun and a .50 HMG, the Grizzly is versatile and adaptable. More useful are perhaps the powerful arms that can sm...

Bring death from above and support the US Fireflies with the heavily armed Linebacker Jump Walker! Following the disastrous drop assault on Collegno in 1946, the limitations of the original M2 Mudskipper series became clear. While a perfectly satisfactory design, the Firefly jump infantry were i...

Fast and lightweight, the Pondskater was designed to replace scout cars in US service, a task at which it has excelled. While lightly armed and armoured, its speed is its primary defence, and in the hands of a skilled crew, a Pondskater is a very slippery customer indeed! One figure. Metal &...
