This Mech Lived up to its name "Destroying" Blakest Nastiness, freeing up Tera from the Toaster Prayer Gang at Gamestorm 13 this year.

I love my Devastator as well, to bad it engine is magnetic, it attracts everything thrown at it. Now this one looks awesome!   :)

yours too? Maybe it's a design flaw? I mean it would work great if it would get hit in more spots than just the l/rt

nice mech

When you absolutley, positivley, need to throw 50 points of damage down range, except no substitutions.

Nice paint job.  But doesn't this one seem a bit "subdued" among the Spartans?

Where'd you find a Hawaiian shirt that small?

Ha Ha Ha! Night Stalker you see that the Spartans are a colorful Folk. Well each Spartan gets to paint its Mech as they want. No two are the same. I tend to avoid the Cannon Paint Jobs. Plenty of folks doing that out there already. The Mech lets me know what it wants to look like.  M-Rex I made the Hawaiian shirt from the skins of Tiny Fallen Toaster Worshipers.

Nice work and thanks for sharing. How does that thing not attract fire?

Quick question... Have any of you had a problem keeping that mini on it's feet? I can't seem to keep mine on it's feet.

Grunt213 glue the Mech to a Lead Base. I also have a bunch of Mech parts the Devastator is running over, it is adding weight to the base, I think. Having a Pilot that can drive also helps.  ;D

Post by: Grunt213 on 29 April 2011, 21:33:39
Thanks. Just ended up gluing a large washer to the bottom of the base... I know... ghetto.

I cheat and repose the leg, a jewlers saw and some modeling putty make the entire running pose go away. Course its now got a walking pose.

Washers and Jewler's Saws and Green Stuff are all good tools for Mech happiness. I just used a Washer for an ReSeen Marauder Base. Hey it works. No ghetto in my book. It would be great if they put a Base in the Blister with the Figure anyway, that way we would always have a base to stand on.  :)

It's pretty easy.

Stand it next to a Dire Wolf.

Nice paint-scheme, it reminds me "The Picasso", the RFL-3N Rifleman of Cranston Snord's Irregulars...
