Vogelspinne Light Walker

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 individual bearings that plagued the earlier design. The added complication of the drivetrain and gyroscopes necessitated lengthening the hull substantially and the project was dubbed the Pz.Kpfg. II Vogelspinne instead. The Vogelspinne retains the light anti-tank gun and 20mm autocannon weaponry of the Spinne but in a fully-enclosed, armoured turret. Provision has also been made to mount a Rift-powered Maschinen Schwere gravity weapon, or a twin light flak cannon mounting.

The Vogelspinne kit can be assembled with a number of weapon configurations, so you can tailor it to the battlefield role you need and your specific playstyle – choose from an Anti-tank Gun, Twin Automatic Cannons, a Flamethrower, or the Maschinen Schwere gravity pulse weapon, which can be equally devastating against infantry or enemy vehicles if you make careful use of Rift Dice. The kit also includes a Vehicle Commander, but can be built with the turret hatch closed should you wish.

This versatility of armament serves the Vogelspinne way when building a Konflikt ’47 Axis Army. With three pairs of legs, and the Recce special rule, it’ll have a hard time getting caught out too.
