Perfect as HALO Covenant proxies HOF62 Draccian Heavy Weapons are the latest release from Alex and Gavin at 15mm.co.uk. The Draccians are heavily armed feral looking bipedal reptilians. Whilst not strictly canon, the Draccian miniatures exude the power and menace of the Master Chief's adversaries in HALO.

HOF62 Draccian Heavy Weapons; 10 for £3.50
plastic bases pictured are code LBA5
Larger and more powerful in stature than Khurasan's Garn, comparisons can only be drawn on a superficial level. The Draccians will compliment the Garn as allies or a subject race, but are clearly different and very much their own beasts.
The models are 19-20mm tall, whilst not as finely sculpted as Jon's Garn, they nevertheless have plenty of detail, especially that thick scaly Crocodilian hide. Dragonesque in appearance, the Draccs have short stubby tails and heads with small flat triangular ears. Massive claws on their feet and bristling with teeth makes them formidable in appearance. And oh yes, there's plenty of attitude!
The HOF62 Draccian Heavy Weapons pack contains ten miniatures in a mix of three poses armed with support weapons. You can also buy the figures individually for 40p each (click here). Nice to see Alex and Gavin are providing this option for more and more of their miniatures.
Overall, the Draccians are really nice and useful figures with some neat touches of detail. I'll certainly be buying more of these as HALO proxies, especially the Dracc with the armoured forehead and leg armour (centre fig. in pic above).
I'd like to see more Draccs coming from 15mm.co.uk and have suggested a HALO'esque 'assault team' with HALO style twin bladed sword, spikey club grenades and blaster pistols.
Find a close up photo review of the miniatures in my next post.

Very nice... they took the Dracci from their fantasy range and elevated them to sci-fi. I wonder if we'll see the usual three-pack assortment if these are successful, adding the infantry and command blisters?
ReplyDeleteSome of the fantasy Dracci might already be useful as they are, especially the weird artillery piece.

Just wanted to correct one thing in your post, Mark. The Garn are also between 19 and 20mm tall.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon
ReplyDeleteThe Garn Commander I have to hand for comparison with the Dracci is 18mm. The size of the Garn is shown in this previous post:
