Icarus II Concept Sketch

Betcha no one was expecting this one! We have need for some odd mechs every once in a while, so here's a primitive mech, the Icarus II.

Redesigned by Bishop. For this one he'd taken some of m...

Here's a looker, the Highlander IIC.
Design by Harri Kallio, sculpt by Eliza Gibbs.

Through the design and modeling process this one has come out really well. Glad we can add yet another m...

Hetzer Concept Sketch

Who was waiting for this one? The Hetzer is here.

This was one of the first Rec Guide vehicle requests sent my way, and a welcome one. The cute meme tank deserves a modern look so that it can...

Shogun 3D Sculpt

Here's that weird mech some of you like, the Shogun.
Design by me, sculpt by Alan Blackwell.

I still think it looks funky, but what we have now is certainly an improvement over the myr...

SturmFeur Concept Sketch

Time for another Rec Guide vehicle. The SturmFeur!

A bit of an odd pick, but certainly an interesting looking one and a useful/focused loadout to land on the table.

I do have a question...

Fast Vee Lance WIPs

Thought I'd share some more prototype pictures along with my painting endeavors.
I've recently picked up some army painter speed paints to try out. It takes me just a bit too much time to nicely...

Patton Concept Sketch

Here's a cool one I got to work on, the Patton tank. Coming soon to a Rec Guide near you.

My first pick would have been to contract one fan that already had a great Patton concept, but I coul...

Whitworth 3D sculpt

Here'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 gon...

Merlin Concept Sketch

Here's another redesign done by Harri Kallio. The Merlin.

They had an old sketch of it lying around that I really liked, so I had them polish that up. I did a fair bit of my own meddling on i...

Clint 3D Sculpt

The Clint. Blandest of bland medium troopers.

Head honcho in a stinger/wasp lance when you can't afford a pixie?

Pillager Concept Sketch

Here's a design from Marco Mazzoni. The Pillager!

Personally I'm not a huge fan of the design, but I can't deny you have to respect anything walking around with twin gauss rifles. Gauss rifle...

Atlas II 3D Renders

Someone asked for renders of the Atlas II a while back. Here's what lag time looks like haha.

From all I've seen from the IWM mini it came out looking great. Has anyone here bought it and put...

Grizzly Concept Sketch

Sorry for the very slow month everyone. It's been a busy one (and last month also), including my birthday last week. So I've been a bit low energy and distracted. I've realized (at least for now) t...

Manticore Concept Sketch

A few of you asked if we were doing this one. The Manticore, the pancake stack of combat vehicles.

I felt it'd be a cop out to remove the extra layer on the main hull, and instead focused mor...

Dervish 3D Sculpt

Time for more 3D, the Dervish.
Design by Bishop, sculpt by Alex Immerzeel. For those newer to knowing all the artists and sculptors involved, Alex was my guy for getting all of the GoAC box mech...

MASH Truck Concept Sketch

Another vehicle, this time the MASH Truck designed by Bishop.

I felt the original design had a rather boring shape so I asked Bishop to play up the angles it had into a much wider vehicle, mo...

Javelin 3D Sculpt

Onward with the 3D models!
The Javelin came out quite nicely, sculpted by Eliza Gibbs.
I expect this one to be on the tables terrorizing slower foes with all those SRM's.

Whitworth Concept Sketch

Ok ya darn vultures, here it is. The Whitworth! :)

Sketch by Harri Kallio, though we also started things heavily referencing an old sketch by Alex Iglesias. Then there's my meddling on top. View Post

Mobile Long Tom Concept Sketch

Recon & Hunter Vehicle Renders

Not wanting to be buried under a mountain of 3D rendering tasks, I'm going to play with rendering vehicles in their intended sets rather than individually. I guess that makes these a bit of a produ...

Spector Concept Sketch

Here's yet another one from Harri Kallio, the Spector.

A funky little egg of a mech, and spectacularly ugly in previous versions haha. Harri cleaned it up nicely into a more appealing egg, wh...

Ontos Concept Sketch

Here's another one from Harri Kallio, the Ontos. Another vee that was previewed at KerenskyCon.

I guess it's cheap on the cbills but they really found a way to fit 50-65ton mech firepower int...

Pegasus Concept Sketch

Here's another design from Harri Kallio. The Pegasus. One for the "go fast and be annoying as hell" category of vehicles. Not quite fodder with those dual SRM6's, and not just an objective piece. View Post

Prototype Lance Completed

I dragged my feet a bit, but here are the finished prototype lance photos. Lets call them ACES out of time :)

They all came out really cool looking.
