there is also the official Sealed model which has a SFE. though it has some of the same budget issues as the fuel cell Bulldog.. it uses a SnubPPC, which combined with the SFE drives the cost up a lot. (and it loses the infantry bay) it's also not really widely available.. fedsuns, lyurans, mercs, and some of the new former JFOZ groups.


hmm.. perhaps they could make use of the Pike? how are their relations with the Magistracy?

edit: with a fuel cell and environmental sealing, the pike is 1/2 ton overweight. perhaps they could adapt the AC5 variant, and drop the AC ammo down a ton to fit? boosting the armor with the remainder

The shadows of the guns are particularly striking in that lighting! :)

Nice! The GM's gun looks customized from somewhere else

It's just the stock gun from the Sniper GM II kit

That pale white and blue looks like arctic camo.  Maybe that says something about Niops.
Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen,
Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her!
Fühlt nicht durch dich Jadefalke Todesschmerzen,
So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr!

See, now that is a proper 80's metal band-poster right there!

Great work, sir. Now get them a bit of white felt and some Christmas trees and it'll be quite chilly!
Thought I might get a rocket ride when I was a child.          We are the wild youth,                                And through villages of ether
But it was a lie, that I told myself                                          Chasing visions of our futures.                   Oh, my crucifixion comes
When I needed something good.                                         One day we'll reveal the truth,                    Will you sing my hallelujah?
At 17, I had a better dream; now I'm 33, and it isn't me.      That one will die before he gets there.       Will you tell me when it's done?
But I'd think of something better if I could
