Modiphius Fallout Hermit Crab Miniatures Kit

Model Overview

The Modiphius Fallout: Wasteland Warfare Hermit Crab is a fantasy or fictional model kit for tabletop hobbyists and collectors, presenting one of the most memorable mutated beasts from Fallout: Far Harbor. It is supplied as a multi-part resin miniature with a detailed 100mm scenic base, giving you a dramatic display piece or gaming centrepiece straight from the wasteland.

Inspired by the colossal hermit crabs that shelter inside ruined trucks, this unpainted and unassembled figure captures the creature’s armored bulk, oversized claws and scavenged home. The result is a striking scale model for Fallout-themed battles, narrative displays and collectors who enjoy unusual creature miniatures with strong visual character.

Subject Background

This model represents a Far Harbor mutated hermit crab, designed to reflect the intimidating look of the island’s scavenging beasts. Rather than relying on a conventional shell, the creature is shown using a ruined truck as its protective home, making it a distinctive addition to any Fallout collection.

Specifications & Features

• Multi-part resin Hermit Crab miniature
• Detailed 100mm scenic base included
• Unpainted and unassembled for full hobby customisation
• Officially licensed Fallout product
• Compatible with the free Creatures of the Fog Rules Packet

Design & Detail

The sculpt focuses on the creature’s brutal silhouette, with heavy armour-like plating, powerful claws and a scavenged truck shell that gives the model its standout look. The scenic base helps frame the miniature as a battlefield presence rather than just a creature figure, making it ideal for themed presentation.

Because the model is supplied unpainted, hobbyists can tailor the finish to suit their own vision, whether for tabletop use or a showcase display. It offers plenty of scope for characterful painting while staying true to the Fallout aesthetic.

Display & Collection

As a collectible figure and display model, the Hermit Crab works well as a centrepiece in a Fallout collection or as an imposing enemy on the gaming table. Its large scenic base and unusual subject matter make it especially appealing to collectors who want something more distinctive than a standard infantry miniature.

With its official licence and compatibility with Fallout: Wasteland Warfare rules, it also fits naturally into expanding creature collections and narrative scenarios. The finished model brings the harsh, improvised style of the wasteland to life in a memorable way.

Building and finishing

This is an unassembled miniature kit supplied without a painted finish. Model Steam rates the construction Intermediate because the small separate components need careful preparation, test-fitting and alignment. Check the component fit before making permanent joins, and handle projecting details gently. The rating concerns assembling the supplied model; elaborate weathering and display painting are optional creative choices.

The box contains one Hermit Crab and a 100mm scenic base. The manufacturer’s 32mm gaming designation describes the range’s miniature proportions, rather than guaranteeing that every figure stands exactly 32mm tall. It is not a numerical scale ratio, and larger creatures and power-armoured subjects have their own proportions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a kit or a finished figure?

This is a multi-part resin miniature kit. Assembly is required before display or gaming, and the components arrive unpainted. It provides a construction and finishing project for a Fallout hobby collection.

What is included?

The set contains one Hermit Crab and a 100mm scenic base. These are the supplied miniatures and bases; game rules and other scenery should be checked separately if you are starting a tabletop collection.

What does 32mm mean?

It is the manufacturer’s tabletop gaming size convention for the range. It does not mean that every subject has the same measured height, and it should not be converted into a guessed scale ratio.

How difficult is the assembly?

Model Steam assigns Intermediate for the small multi-part construction and careful fitting involved. Previous experience handling miniature components is useful. This is our construction assessment, separate from the manufacturer’s age guidance.

Does it come painted?

No. The miniatures are supplied unpainted, allowing you to choose the finish. Preparing and assembling the parts is part of the build; the amount of colour detail and weathering is up to you.
