Finally had time to check my DA account and saw Plogg's new art and hoped it was your stuff Marauder. This looks really cool!
Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.
     
A.E. Housman

So glad you are still at it. I've taken a bit of a hiatus from my Fanfic. I know it's slow in coming on my end. I'm just now about to start writing it again. I had to write a bit if Doctrine for the US Army Sniper's so that's what kept me busy. Time to jump back in and finish my promised SpecOps story for the Hegemony in Exile. I continue to love all you and everyone here does.

Keep it up Marauder.

Yes all of them for the most part.

And BTech doctrine is cool. Real Army doctrine is dry and boring lol.

My Khan

The latest reports are in, both these units appear to be undergoing testing prior to entering full time production. Clan Coyote and Clan Cloud Cobra are starting up new production lines and, considering their support and assistance in these designs, we must now assume that both designs will enter service soon with at least three rival Clans and soon. Data on performance to follow.

That is truly amazing art.  I miss when CGL produced TROs more often stuff.

Anyways, i take it the fighter seems to be a light fighter, and Mech appears either be a light mech or a protomech.  I'd wager the former.

Why does the head of that Proto make me think of a certain Chameleon from Mega Man X???

If deliberate, that's awesome.
If that was unintentional, that's even more awesome.
I love my Wiesel XII. Yes, yes I do.

Plog really likes those rear legs, right? :)

Great design. PPC, 5 ML (or 3 in the arm and 2 LL in the chest?), SRM6. I could use one of those.

Its design is inspired by a much, much older machine that saw extensive service with the SLDF.

It almost looks like if a Guillotine joined Crossfit.

In the future :) but I will tell you their armament and movement

Deimos - 1/4  Light Machine gun, 2 x AP mounts, 2 x cutting torches, extended life support A sub variant, the Phobos exists which looses the life support, AP mounts and torches for enhanced sensors.

Alecto 1/0 - ER Medium laser, 2 x LMG, 2 x AP mounts. A weapon variant exists replacing the ER Medium with a Medium pulse laser.

*whaps with rolled up news paper*

And yes, it will be a Fan PDF. Mostly waiting on art now as everything else is pretty much done.
