I googled the comic and found a site with a pic where you can sort of see the missile launchers (the top picture on the page).

Cute (I know, not the word you want applied to a 20-ton clanking death machine). I’m not a big fan of “mechs” as such, but I like it. Looks very playable, prime diorama material.


It is fairly playable, you can pick it up, set it back down, put it in the dropship, etc., and it won’t fall apart. Based on the responses, the blue one is the least popular, but for some strange reason it’s actually my favorite.

  
   Lastly, not a mech but an anti-mech aircraft. If mechs are the tanks of the 31st century, then this thing is the Apache helicopter:

   This is my fave out of the three. Only suggestion would be to either trim the forward gun down or mount it further back on the hull - as it is it looks flimsy to me.


I plan to build a bigger version, with a much sturdier main cannon.

   I’ve got a couple of those cool missile packs of yours sitting around, too. Nifty idea.

Thanks! I could easily imagine a slightly scaled down 2X3 version bolted to a shoulder mount on one of your landmates.

Amen. I’m thinking I’ll drag out Intron Depot tonight and see what I can do about boosting our group activity some more.

Intron Depot rules!

   Cool stuff. I’m not a big fan of the colorschemes on the mechs, they seem kinda fragmentary, but the last one is great.

Soren

I do like to fragment my colors a somewhat, in an attempt to generate a little visual interest. Also, part supply can be an issue. I have to agree though that most folks prefer the more consistent schemes. Thanks for the response!
