Shatol Overlord

Shatol Overlord is a towering dropship model designed to capture the essence of interstellar warfare logistics and planetary assault dominance. The structure is unmistakably that of a heavily fortified orbital lander, featuring an ovular hull with multiple articulated landing struts, armored access points, and a full array of embedded weaponry. Circular gun emplacements dot the surface in a pattern designed for all-around defense, ensuring this craft maintains airspace control during descent or while grounded in hostile territory.

Lore: In the sprawling conflicts of the Inner Sphere, dropships like the **Shatol Overlord** serve as the lifeblood of any planetary engagement. Tasked with deploying mechs, vehicles, and troops directly into combat zones, the Overlord-class landers were engineered with dual goals—survivability and force projection. The Shatol variant elevates this philosophy by enhancing turret coverage and modular compartments to quickly offload battlefield units in organized waves. Its deployment ramp, featured at the forward base, offers immediate egress for armored formations, while its elevated rear design provides a stable platform against uneven terrain.

Each of its six legs is armored and reinforced for withstanding explosive shockwaves or rough landings, allowing deployment on both terraformed colonies and uncharted planets. Its hull displays angular armor plating, sensor arrays, and internal power conduits, hinting at its advanced internal layout and the ability to sustain operations without immediate support. The Shatol’s role on the tabletop is iconic—whether as a centerpiece for narrative campaigns, a forward base for skirmish missions, or a visual anchor in large-scale planetary assault scenarios.

Whether you imagine it raining fire from orbit or acting as a makeshift fortress once grounded, this model encapsulates the weight and narrative importance of strategic troop deployment. Its aesthetic evokes power, presence, and tactical depth—making it a vital addition for players who wish to immerse their forces in full-scale warfare. The **Shatol Overlord** is not just a transport—it’s a symbol of command, invasion, and planetary dominance.
