Very nicely done! Although isn't that an ASN-99? ;)

(I'm going to steal that sword arrangement though. Planning a 99 for a Capellan unit sometime, that looks much better than a conventional approach.)

Nice conversion.  The blade matches the mini in a way.

There's a story behind it being a -21.  It's a mashup of parts from a lot of variants.  The stats are here.  This mini is a representation of Issac's ASN-21 (the LRM-5 and SRM-2 are still there) with Litany camo and spikes.  The -21 was destroyed in battle and Issac was killed.  Erik (his son) took the parts and merged Archetype with 30 parts.  Improvements were made in the process (inspired by the -99).  I'm working on the fluff for Litany Against Fear through the invasion and after.

Thanks.  The blade came from one of my old DnD figures.  Turned out really nice...  I like it better as a retractable blade.   >:D

Great job on that classic! The blade is a nice touch, very assassin-esq, fitting for its namesake. O0

hey FearFactory!

 i am very curious to see what mechs come next.  :D

maybe a „Body Hammer“ - „as of now i am a tool of severe impact“

or an „Edgecrusher“ - „inflict strain upon the structure. collapsing below my pressure“ ?

I was thinking the two PNT-9R Panthers in the unit.  They're called "The Twins" and I was thinking of calling them "(H-K) Hunter-Killer" and "Smasher/Devourer."

It's amazing how "Archetype" totally fits the theme behind the ASN-21 I made.  Gotta stop listening to Fear Factory while writing Burrock and Litany Against Fluff.   :D

That's indeed a great conversion...

Agreed, looks wicked. The Fear Factory logo looks pretty cool as a unit marking too. Personally, I see the Atlas as "Smasher/ Devourer" (Or the Omega... or the Ares...) Something big, heavy, full of devastating firepower.
