The EA & J Labs Crab Challenge: one war engine, one entry, zero mercy for empty display shelves.
Ships within 7 days.
Three crab-like sci-fi war engines. You pick one. Challenge price locks in the 130mm size with a random 2-weapon package — the same setup as the $130 base variants on the full listings, priced at $99 for the challenge.
Pick your crab
-
Infernal Crab Engine V1 — 130mm, random 2 weapons
-
Infernal Crab Engine V2 — 130mm, random 2 weapons
-
Fat Rotten Crab — 130mm, random 2 weapons
One listing. Three variants. Your brush, your problem.
How it works
Order the crab that calls to you. Assemble it. Paint it like it just crawled out of a ruined manufactorum. That finished model is your entry into the EA & J Labs Painting Challenge (runs through January 1, 2027). Weather the armor, glaze the flesh, or chrome the claws until your camera begs for mercy.
How to Enter

One crab, one entry. The variant you buy is your entry piece.
-

Post it. Tag @EAandJLabs and use #EAJLABS.
- Entries close January 1, 2027.
