Not sure how I feel about the yellow and back paint scheme - it's well-executed, but it's...different. 

I was thinking if that was Black & Red it would be Tikonov Republican Guards.

Not sure who uses a quartered Black/Yellow.

Off Topic / Re: Retirement Job for Elementals

« Last post by beachhead1985 on 24 April 2024, 21:03:58 »

Just extrapolating from observed patterns...I doubt most elementals have long or happy retirements.

I imagine the joints and back go first, with the hearts right behind them. Clan science could keep them in service longer, but why waste the resources that could go to the next generation?

I think "retirement" for Elementals is probably a short, unhappy career in law-enforcement among the lower castes or a short stay in hospice care.

Smaller scale idea: the spirits eventually took over the mandrills watch in canon but I am not sure if it is stated what they got in return?

Perhaps some of the ultra elite mick kreese pilots were loaned out as trainers to beef up the spirits naval arm?

Following up on this what would the spirits have gotten for this?

I can only recommend backing that thing up with all speed... I still haven't recovered the flash drive that failed on me... :/

Ah, a 3067 design... that explains my ignorance, thank you! :)

Twin Thumpers would be pretty sweet, I think.  If for nothing else than the deep ammo bins...

Okee-doky, I think I've figured out the format I want; I'm still thinking about whether I want 'Red Shift RDS-4LC' in smaller font over the image.  I had originally wanted to break the factions down a bit ('Blakist Militia', 'Python Touman', 'Legacy Cluster Military Forces') but I figure it would be easier to lump it together and note their deployment in a separate databox with any existing entries.

I finally got the order of ops, too; design the four units/page, then image, then fluff.  I can do the fluff at work, but the file is getting so bit, its becoming a bit of an issue saving it to the flash drive.  No idea if the stick is corrupted or something, but I had a bit of a scare today - the flash drive was fully inserted, nudged to one side a bit with the keyboard by accident, and it disappeared from the quick access folder.  Restarted the computer, and it worked again, but I'm reluctant to risk it.

Anyway, a new screenshot!

Rem said QML still expecting end May start of June.

That's the predicted start of shipping. With how many backers there are, it's going to take some time to get all the shipping completed.

Fantastic paint job, even if I don't recognize the mini at all... :)

Never have I seen a Locust look that wicked.
