Aegis Assault Transport

While the Ammit and Makara are versatile and serviceable infantry fighting vehicles in their own right, Krevarian commanders wanted a transport capable of fighting alongside the heavy Durandal breakthrough tank in the most dangerous combat zones.

Engineered on the same suspension as the Durandal, the Aegis in its original form is a platoon-level transport capable of carrying over twenty Dragoons into combat with impressive mobility and durability. Twin powerplants in the rear sponsons provide the vehicle with high speeds, and an array of weapon mounts allow the transport to support its troops with impressive firepower. Twin automatic mortars are a common turret choice, while rapid-firing Gyroc weapons often are mounted in the casemates.

 A common variant of the Aegis is the -53RV, which trades some of its transport capacity for increased life support capacity, bunks and a small galley. These modifications make the vehicle suitable for extended patrols with less need for support. Both the standard and extended range variants of the chassis can be seen without the mortar or anti-aircraft turret to cut down on crew requirements and open up even more interior room.

With its large interior, high roofline, and heavy armor, the Aegis was also quickly adopted as a command and control platform. Trading the upper turret for an advanced communications mast, a single Aegis CV can coordinate a large number of subordinate troops efficiently.

Update 25 September 2025: Added additional supports to sensor mast base, added missing geometry to track guards.

Update 26 September 2025: Added hull option without casemates.

Update 29 September 2025: Counted rivets, discovered that several were missing. This has been rectified.

This kit includes the parts needed to build an Aegis Assault Transport with a variety of weapons and cosmetic options.

The kit contains two track variants with optional track guards, while the hull can support a pair of small remote weapon and sensor stations (or you can use the included vent option if you'd prefer not to use them).

The main turret option has a pair of modular weapon slots and can elevate to act as an artillery or anti-aircraft mount. A communications mast is also provided (with options to be modeled extended or retracted), and a simple adapter to mount a cupola instead of a turret rounds out the options. The turret ring is compatible with any Ammit-style turret (Ammit, Dague and Rondache at the time of this writing).

Finally, pintle weapons, disposable missile launchers and stowage are included, as well as a dozer blade that can also be used on the Durandal breakthrough tank.

This kit is presupported, but also includes unsupported STLs for those who want to print in FDM or would prefer to handle their own supports.

The weapon slots are set up for magnetization - you'll want 1/8" (3mm) diameter magnets to make use of them.

Approximate model dimensions: 195mm long, 110mm wide, 80mm tall (without turret), 100mm tall (with turret).
