Warrior VTOL Concept Sketch
Added 2022-05-30 00:37:18 +0000 UTCBishops design rampage continues. The Warrior VTOL.
New flavor... flying thingy. Personally I never see anyone use VTOL or Aerospace on the table, but I know some of you do. The Warrior makes a nice first dip into that realm with a unit that will work well as a scout/spotter, light harassment, opfor fodder, or yet another piece of military base garnish on the battle map.
Who's ready for ultra chunky thicc plastic rotors? :D

Nice. The Huey Cobra of Battletech!

2022-06-19 11:43:32 +0000 UTCI painted my first Warrior black with a white underbelly. With the refueling probe and retractable landing gear... my inner 80's child is ecstatic.

2022-05-31 04:31:19 +0000 UTCMaybe the 2D render is messing with my kinesthetics, but wouldn’t the Autocannon barrels interfere with the refueling probe?

2022-05-30 20:15:16 +0000 UTCHow hard was it to find the right size for scale but still have it playable? Helicopters in real life are deceptively long.

2022-05-30 17:03:18 +0000 UTCLovely work. Nice to see even the landing gear. Nice!
2022-05-30 15:07:12 +0000 UTClemme tell you something, this thing looks amazing and I can't wait to get them to add to my metal ones. If you haven't used them in game you will be surprised at how good they can be. Their Movement and Range of the base model makes them super hard targets in 3025 and even beyond that, they can pop behind hills or woods on the way to battle as well, so can be completely hidden, basically at will, disappearing. I like the H7C which is the LRM 10 version, you can do the base's job a lot better, you just need to be closer. People scoff at 5 point hits, until they are in the back, and every time you try to get them out of behind a hill, they redeploy to the other side of the map on you!

2022-05-30 13:38:07 +0000 UTCI'll probably get shot for this. I use them in AS they are quite effective.
2022-05-30 11:34:20 +0000 UTCYep!

2022-05-30 11:10:30 +0000 UTCSame flight stand/base as the Shilone?

2022-05-30 07:13:05 +0000 UTCShouldn't get snapping out of plastic, but high chance of them arriving with some bend. The it's time for hot water trickery.

2022-05-30 06:00:36 +0000 UTCLooks cool. I'm interested in the mini and the durability of those rotors. That's a point why i didn't buy IWM VTOLs...rotors would always deform when transported and finally snap.

2022-05-30 03:59:32 +0000 UTCI love this! Aerospace fighters were always a bit too far for me, rules-wise, but VTOLs, combat vehicles, and battle armor are my combined-forces go-tos.

2022-05-30 03:55:01 +0000 UTCI have used them and love the updated rules on them. I’ve used them in classic and in alpha strike.
