WIP's 2......

I suppose I should stop building and start painting, but this train has no brakes. I've been making minis of models I want but have no space for. 

Agni from Armored Core Verdict Day. He's heavily armed because... well, he's an Armored Core. Yes, that's a MWO Dragon under there. With Cyclops legs. 

He doesn't seem to know the meaning of the word "restraint" either. 

Battletech has no sniper rifles and is the only tabletop mecha game on the market (Yes, I know about Infinity) so I'm going to gin up some home-brew rules. 

Mechs don't have weapon storage racks either. I suppose you just buy the weapon and go from there. 

 

Kagutsuchi Otsu (Sniper) from Frame Arms. What's that off-screen?

His fucking enormous cannon. You know, for one-shotting... er.... battleships. He carries a lot of armmo for it in that drum. Not accurate, I know, but I was in the zone, and it looks great. 

Under it all, he's an MWO Thunderbolt. I should do something decorative to the back plate, probably. 

Kagutsuchi Otsu (Fencer), the other specialist type. The actual plamo kit has an even larger hand weapon. The best approximation I could find was the big ugly claw gatling I had extras of from my FW AdMech robots. I like it because he doesn't have to drop it to draw a rifle like the original does, he just levels it and fires off a burst. His armor skirts are heavier because he's a hand-to-hand fighter. 

I should probably cover up the missile holes so his gatling ammo doesn't fall out. Those missile boxes are from a MWO Catapult. 

Till next time....

WIP........

I said I was on a mecha kick this month, didn't I? Well, this chap came about today, after a through scouring of my dwindling metal bits. There are bits from at least 9different models in there, I think, all pinned and glued into a pleasing mass. 

His weapons are still coming, and I'm not pleased with his ass, yet, but oh well. He'll get there. 

I said I was looking vintage 1/87 scale Heavy Gear models, didn't I? Well, I still am, so if you have any, do drop me a line. From the depths of my bits stores emerges this fellow, along with his other friends. Still in progress, he needs to gain a sniper's cloak and some other bits and bobs, but I think he's turning out well. 

Hrm. Well, it is what it is. 

Yes, he carries whips. Considering his size, I'm sure it's not very pleasant to be on his bad side.  The legs are.... the best I could do with what I have, actually. You leave one game system (Battletech) for a while (20 years ago) and your resources dwindle. The new Iron Wind sculpts are appalling, by the way. Ick. We'll be staying with our MWO sculpt source, thank you.

His larger friend is a mecha of few words and several ugly weapons. He was also mostly primed, just never finished. I must've been going through a break up or some other turmoil. 

This Urbanmech, however, will be giving anyone who comes near a huge surprise. I love that they have waists and hips, now. 

In Search of.....

Old 1/87 Rafm Heavy Gear minis. 

If you have any for sale, drop me a line. 

I seem to be on a mecha kick again.
