I'd like to give a gift!Not every battlefield threat needs intelligence or sophisticated weaponry. The Bioficer Grubs & Epsilon set explores a far more disturbing form of biological warfare, combining a floating organism with swarms of instinct-driven predators. Together, they form a particularly unsettling addition to the mysterious forces encountered by the UCM.
The Epsilon is the lowest level of intelligence identified so far on the battlefield. On its own, this floating organism resembles a biological printer and poses little direct threat. Its importance comes from its small Genitor system, which allows it to generate Grub swarms using harvested biomass.
Grubs are primitive creatures with limited perception. Too small to accommodate control helmets, they rely almost entirely on instinct to locate prey and attack. Their basic anatomy is little more than a mouth on legs, but their behaviour becomes considerably more dangerous when directed by an Epsilon. Using ultrasonic waves, the organism stimulates and guides the swarms towards enemy targets. In sufficient numbers, Grubs can overwhelm a victim, bring it down and tear it apart.
Inside the box:
The combination of the Epsilon's biological production system and the Grubs' relentless predatory instincts creates a distinctive visual presence on the tabletop. It also offers an unusual painting subject, with two very different types of organisms brought together in a single set.
Assembly and painting: all miniatures are supplied unpainted and unassembled. Resin components must be cleaned before assembly, and some parts may require small holes to be filled during preparation. Check each piece before construction to ensure a clean finish ready for painting.
