Here’s some concept art for a new Betelgeusian vehicle that will be appearing in the upcoming story The Autumn War.

These behemoths haunt the autumn jungles of Kerguela, spewing magnetically-accelerated plasma fire and swarms of chemical rockets at those unfortunate enough to cross paths with them. Their eight powerful legs make them extremely mobile in rough terrain, and they’re able to bury themselves in the ground, hiding the vulnerable areas of their chitinous hulls and making themselves harder to spot. The beak-like structures on their carapace can split open, revealing a long, flexible appendage equipped with sensory organs and chemo-receptors, giving the pilot a clearer view of the battlefield.

This new threat is just one of many that the Coalition must overcome if they are to wrest back control of the lost colony from the entrenched hive forces.
