Crusader 3D Sculpt

Why does this mech look like it has giant tits?

Andrew Tate

Very good. Not a criticism, but I prefer the missile launchers in the shoulders, but then I'm a huge Robotech fan. I just wonder if the back mounted packs are necessary now?

Trevor R.N.

I'm definitely a fan of the shoulder launchers, but this is pretty ace. I do feel that the chest could be toned down a tad, but I think I'm in the minority on that.

Mike

Love this so much! Keeps the spirit of the unseen while taking the cool elements of the new mech and some nice touchs that tie it together. I want a lance of them!

Reminds me of G1 Shockwave.

James Abbot-Cole

The Crusader finally got the respect it deserves. Great job!

It looks incredible. Cannot wait to paint this one!

I will never not miss the shoulder launchers... but otherwise? Lovely! Really didn´t expect i´d like it as much as i do.

Okay - I have finally finished my intense spreadsheet of "model coolness calculation" - and I THINK I have finally settled on my picks for the KS. If you could please just ensure the remaining designs look like dog-butt so I don't have to change my mind for a fourth time, that would be great, thaaaaaaaaaanks. (Here is a link to a spreadsheet if you are having trouble like me - but... you know... copy it and make your own!) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KBa-_JP_TrXKG63EN6N5IVKPOkEbMNk4KUtQEooBRnM/edit?usp=sharing

The Crud is Love! THE CRUD IS LIFE!

Terence Harris

As it should be. This is going to boost mech variety for sure!

Peter Campi

love

I think the fear is they'll get what they got with the mech voting, but much worse. Once offered they'd have riots either way. People mad they have to wait longer, people mad we didn't wait longer. My position is force the delay, as it could allow many backers to sink their entire pledge into wave one and save shipping. But yeah it's a hard call.

Anthony Scroggins

Im really not sure on this mech... not sure if two lance boxes are really enough. Pretty much the best crusader all time.

Swen Decker

S E X Y Seriously, best Crusader yet. Want! As for the delayed packs - why not post the question as an update and run a poll?

Andrew Dickinson

Cool brute. Man, this guy is massive! I really like the vambraces with the LRMs...and the unicorns horn. :D Would be very cool if 1-2 more boxes could be added to wave 1!

Henning Boessler

Yes sir-ree, colour me very interested.

Looks fantastic

Jeez. That is hands down my fave design so far. (Might be biased as the crusader has always been my favourite design) I may literally have to change all my wave 1 picks for Direct Fire Lances now. 😂🤣

Stewart Spencer

I liked the cockpit and chest on the concept you showed off in July, but it’s still great.

Carlos Sempere

Or remove the MGs and downgrade the SRMs to 4 packs and boom! I have had 3Rs blow up due to floating cries but my 3Ds always survive! Beautiful sculpt I am going to have to get more then 1 pack of these!

Robert Moore

I was never a fan of the Crusader but this I like.

Clint Williams

Yeah I pushed hard internally to have wave one delivery delayed to get 1-2 more packs in. They think it wont go down good PR wise.

Anthony Scroggins

Another home run with this one . Sure wish this pack was wave one . Just need to see the orion for this pack to be fully revealed .

Charles granger

Dammit. Have to double check my order AGAIN.

This is epic. The team knocked this one out of the park!

Joseph Robles

Oh, HELL yes!

Jarod DePastene

I'm guessing super easy option number one is toss the MGs and use the tonnage on CASE and LRM ammo. Once you include things like Endo the doors are wide open for improvement.

Anthony Scroggins

Wonderful. Always had great success with this beast and you really made it look great. There's a reason I'm doubling up on the Direct Fire Lance.

Mitchell Berthelson

Now that's sexy.

Sororitas Cupid

Previously I felt the Thunderbolt was your best bit. This... this has surpassed. I legit HATE Crusaders as the worst off all worlds... not enough ammo to do their job, but just enough ammo to be walking bombs. This... will force me to make a mod to use, in place of my usual Archers. Congrats man. This is unabashedly phenomenal.

Benjamin Myers (Bishop Steiner)

That is amazing! Didn't think I'd love the fist missiles so much.

Mark Senger

Robotech has them everywhere, battletech switched between shoulders and arms. Zeus and plenty of other mechs in Battletech do missile fists, and IMO it's a good variety element. Also yes, I do want some more gundam/mecha mechs in BT when they can fit in. Pay some homage to our roots in mecha anime.

Anthony Scroggins

*HEAVY BREATHING*

I think it's partly from representing the weapons properly in a non-goofy way, and not being anorexic.

Anthony Scroggins

He looks very Gundamesque now, still not sure how I feel about the arm rockets in the Battletech universe. BUT, he is freaking awesome.

Alexander J De Santis

That’s a mean mean mech, and it has the return of the unicorn horn!

Andrew Bethards

Beautiful :)

CycKath

This one's going to be really popular.

Jordan G Roberts

Is it me or does this big boy look WAY scarier than before?

Tyler Erickson

You are really making picking packs hard.

Oh damn, the Crusader looks awesome!

Dan Hegarty

Looks great!
