KGC-010 King Crab and friends
« on: 18 September 2017, 23:44:58 »
Part of a periphery cache reactivated as a reserve comand unit.  At least, that's the best story I can come up with to explain a rare command king crab and an Amaris brawler in the same unit.

Nice King Crab mod!  O0  Makes it look a lot more dynamic; like its hair is permanently whooshing in the wind!

Very sharp lance! With those colours, you could be Manei Domini too O0

And yes, the KC looks impressive in paint.

I was trying for a set of colors that was appropriate for a crab, and settled on a mix of black tipped claws and a red shell instead of orange, trying to avoid a cooked look.   :))  The MD connection is a happyish coincidence.  :D

Any potential backwardness aside, nicely done scheme there.  Would not want to run into that group in a dark canyon... 8)

What is up with the Blue Flame?  Is that the 3 LPPC variant?

Having created that variant I am exceptionally happy to see it in mini form.  I don't think I've seen one created before.

I've been eyeing this design for at least a year, before committing to making it.  The fluff was great!  It beat out the RAC version by narrow margin, and i plan to customize that one too in the future.
