A New Colossus Class- And It's a Biped!
« on: 03 September 2011, 13:40:23 »
so many people cried and moaned about the Aries colossus having three legs- which i thought was totally cool- i thought i'd do this little project. as i was digging through my bits crate, i came across a set of 1:100 scale warhammer legs. hmmm....kept digging and found the guns, too. then i found the arms from a 1:100 Veritech fighter.  no torso to be found. guess i'll have to break out the clay! i sculpted a mighty torso for my colossus, but the head i sculpted just wasn't quite right so i returned to digging in the bits. this is the monster i came up with. no stats. no load out. just thought i'd have some fun with a few spare parts and clay.

Wonderful job Spaceman Spiff, it looks like super-sized "Pariah" OmniMech.

Did you create stats for this brute?  I remember somewhere on the old boards the Dreadnought rules that could make this thing work.

i got small, medium, and large pinup decals from Starship Modeler.com. some of them are R-rated, though.

i can tell you the scale i work in is N-scale, which is the scale i prefer for many reasons. your classic IWM scale is Z-scale, of which i grew weary of a long time ago.

no stats...but if i had to....

2 long tom DF cannons
4 ERLLs
2 RAC2s
1 LRM15 w/ artemis FCS
and i think to be mean, i'd give the brute TSM. those ham fists are just begging to be buried in some poor slob's cockpit.

The fact that you *sculpted* the torso for the mini just blows my mind. How come you aren't working for IWM?

*takes note*

So..the decals they sell...are any of them Battletech mini(as opposed to N-scale) sized?
