{{Trivia}}
Prior to 1997, the Hydra was available primarily in the [[Epic]] scale.{{fn|12}} In 1997, [[Tim Dupertis]] of [[Armourcast]] would build some of the first prototypes of the Hydra in 28mm.{{fn|10}} It would appear, visually, that his Hydra model would be based on his [[Chimerax]] model, with the addition of the '''Radar Targeter'''.{{fn|13}}.
Later in 2000, [[Tony Cotrell]] would make the first [[Forge World (Company)]] production model for the '''Stygies VIII''' pattern{{fn|1}}, via a six piece conversion kit for then available [[Basilisk]] chassis{{fn|11}} which would go on to become its more ubiquitous appearance in [[Warhammer 40000]] scale.
