MG144-GT08 GT Infantry Horde

Galactic Terrorists

144th (10 or 12mm)

90.22mm x 79.78mm x 17.16mm

(Note as the AK-447, RPK-176 and FIM-292 are based on their modern-day counterparts, the GLA infantry is also suitable for irregular modern troops.)

Physical Print: 48 troopers with AK-447 rifles (eight of six poses), 8 troopers with support weapon (RPK-176 LSW) (four of two poses), 8 troopers with stingers (four to two poses), 16 terrorists (four of four poses). (80 total)

Digital Files:

Supports: Not available at this time, sorry.

14 models:

6 troopers with AK447 (posed a to f)

2 AT troopers with FIM-292 Stinger (posed g and h)

2 Heavy weapons trooper with RPK-176 LSW (posed support a and b)

4 terrorists (a to d)

Scaling Notes: Red (scaling down; thin parts) or Green (scaling up).

Infantry are designed to a configuation and quantity based on platoon/squad structure and physical print sprue. The following information is provided to illustrate the intended mix.

Physical Sprue size and composition: 80 models; 48 troopers with AK-447 rifles (eight of six poses), 8 troopers with support weapon (RPK-176 LSW) (four of two poses), 8 troopers with stingers (four to two poses), 16 terrorists (four of four poses).

Sufficient models are provided on the physical print sprue to allow the squads as shown in the photo:

Four fire teams of 6 rifles

Four fire teams of four with 2 LSW and 2 rifles

Four fire teams of four with 2 Stinger and 2 rifles

(A full squad of 10 would be the rifleteam plus one or other of the weapon teams.)

Four teams of 4 terrorists

(Leaving 8 spare riflesmen.)

Entirely Optional Lore PDF included.

Photos of resin print (Only-Games).

Models are printer type-agnostic, though FDM is not typically practical or recommended.

The platoonsolidV file contains 80 models (essentially the physical model sprue without the sprue). This is provided experimentally; it may or may not be of use to the end user in time saving.

GT infantry is often a haphazard mob of irregulars, poorly trained to the point of nearly being at conscript level, but making it for it with sheer blind zealotry which makes them easier to kill than to break.

Most GT infantry squads are large, typically around ten. While armament is often somewhat varied, the majority are armed with the ubiquitous AK-447 assault rifle, which harkens back to its distant ancestor in terms of durability, performance and simplicity. For anti-armour, the most common weapon carried is the RPG-55 LADs (Light Anti-armour Disposable). Support weapons are commonly the RPK-176 LSW and the FIM-292 Stinger multirole missile launcher. All of these weapons are notable for their prevalence in military surpluses, the black market and even open market. As always, actually tracking down all of the GT’s acquisitions has proved impossible, but given the relatively simple technology involved in all these weapons, it is a near-certainty that the GT manufacture a larger number of their weapons themselves.

More disturbing are the smaller units – typical about four to six – of what even the GT internally call “terrorists.” These are nothing more than suicide bombers, laden down with no weapons aside from strings of volatile explosives. They are utterly fanatical and fearless, charging headless into battle. This makes them easy to mow down – especially since the typically volatile explosives have a tendency to go off it hit – but on the rare occasions they make contact, they can be devastating to even armour.

GT terrorists generally are not mixed in with regular GT infantry, but often form their own units. They are most often found piling into simple civilian cars, turning it into a dangerous hazard to even a battle tank if it actually can strike one.

The terrorists are among the most common weapon deployed outside of battle by the GT, attacking civilian and military targets. As with almost all the GT’s operations, such attacks tend to fail utterly or succeed horrifically, with little margin in-between.
