Whitworth 3D sculpt
Added 2022-10-28 04:38:56 +0000 UTCHere's the Whitworth final 3D model. Sculpted by Aaron Harris.
Such a huge improvement over the old mini, but still quite recognizable I think.
No doubt this fire support trooper is gonna be filling out many forces. What mechs will you group it with?

I'd put it in a lance with a Catapult CPLT-K2K when we get the Gray Death Legion ForcePack

2022-10-28 16:21:34 +0000 UTCBiggest improvement is the slab of armor over the waist coupling. It makes the mech look tougher than the mass would indicate while still giving it a visual that implies agility. Really the whole me h gives the impression of that short squat high school wrestler who can take down someone half again thier mass. I love it I got slots already laid out in the Skye Rangers and Lyran and Donegal’s guard for this puppy

2022-10-28 15:19:29 +0000 UTCPut it with Heavies as their bodyguard. The Whit has no trouble keeping up with them and is actually more mobile since it can jump over things that would slow the Heavy pack down. A fast light or medium tries to flank, the Whit can be there to keep it from getting close enough for accurate back shots on the big guys. If you want it in an actual fire lance, then here is a good one: Stalker 3H (LRM 20s), Archer 2R (or 2S depending on what house your doing), and a Valkyrie to help out the Whit, and also to jump ahead of the pack to scout.

2022-10-28 11:50:04 +0000 UTCNot so easy to close in on the fire support when you arrive to a wall of medium lasers. Not to mention the hail storm on the way in.

2022-10-28 11:30:41 +0000 UTCWhitworth, Trebuchet, Catapult, and Archer. It will be dubbed the "Macross Missile Massacre Squad" lol

2022-10-28 09:18:40 +0000 UTCWell there are quite a few variants that do so :)

2022-10-28 07:10:32 +0000 UTCI like the idea of swapping out the LRMs for SRMs and call it the Blenheim.
