This kit splits into two distinct unit types across its six models: three crawling feral spawn who serve as grotesque ammunition carriers and battlefield support, and three bloated upper-body weapons operators fused to multi-legged insectoid lower halves, each hugging an enormous mortar cannon to their swollen chests with manic, grinning devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Diseased crawler models are pure instinctive horror, stripped of dignity and driven entirely by biological imperative. Each moves on all fours with the low slung urgency of a predatory animal, distended bellies dragging close to the ground, mouths stretched wide in slack-jawed howls, and goggled eyes rolling with unfocused frenzy. Tubes, growths and parasitic attachments cover their bloated frames, testament to the depth of their corruption. They serve as frantic support elements, scuttling between weapon positions carrying charges and components for the mortar teams ahead of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe three weapons operators are the true fire support of the unit, each fused from the waist down into a chitinous multi-legged platform that locks them in a stable firing crouch. Their torsos are enormously muscled and grotesquely swollen, straining against the weight of the massive twin-barrelled mortar cannon each operator cradles against their chest. Military helmets sit incongruously atop grinning diseased faces, a darkly comic detail suggesting these creatures retain just enough residual military conditioning to remember their role before the corruption consumed everything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTogether the six models function as a complete heavy weapons battery dripping with character and narrative.
