Stephen Huda Commission - the Hawken BattleMech
« on: 03 July 2020, 11:04:49 »
I've commissioned Stephen Huda, AKA Destrier, to do a few more pieces of art for me: 2 trucks and BattleMech. I'm still working on the fluff for all of them but I thought I'd at least share the artwork.

The 'Mech is a 50-tonner cavalry design from the 3rd Succession War era called the Hawken.

The first work Destrier did for me was the Mk. VIII DropShuttle based on my own very rough Sketchup model. The trucks were also based on my own basic models by me. The Hawken BattleMech is all Destrier's design, I sent him a TRO and told him I wanted a boxy design. I love all the work he has done for me.

For some reason I can't upload the two trucks right now so I'll upload them later.

Thanks for the comments guys. I do think the Hawken art came very well. Unfortunately the fluff is proving more difficult.

Curious... What's the missile launchers? It's a lot of tubes for the available tonnage... RLs? Or just extra holes to look impressive? ;)

I posted the Hawken's two TROs in the design forum, but no fluff.   :(
