The NT-1 Kraken was one of the most common military surface assault transports in use before the Scourge invasion. It is an amphibious air-cushion conventional hovercraft able to attack from both land and sea. It is considerably more capable on land that its 20th century forebears, since it can temporarily over-lift to traverse steep inclines and protruding obstructions. Although it does not have the lifting capacity to carry heavy armoured units such as tanks, it is uncomplicated and inexpensive, in stark contrast to the AT-77 Lifthawk dropship. The Kraken was designed to attack enemy positions directly and as such, it is armed with a 90mm cannon, capable of engaging enemy tanks and is equipped with heavy armour. It is largely its air-cushion design that limits its maximum load, although this heavy protection does not help. Today, the Kraken is particularly popular with Resistance groups that operate from swamps or from island outposts and has proven remarkably easy to maintain. Most commonly, they carry modified civilian vehicles such as technicals and wagons into battle where using a more advanced transport such as the Lifthawk would be deemed an excessive use of valuable resources. Vehicle crews are well drilled to emerge from these transports with all guns blazing as the open top design permits deploying units to fire as soon as the drop ramp is lowered. 1 x NT-1 Kraken Medium Hovercraft per blister Length: 82mm 10mm Scale Four Resin components
