No shortage of weapons on those mechs to choose from either. Are you differentiating the various looks in any way by faction like HG does or is it just manufacturer preference in the world fluff?SITZKRIEG!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05236105506126383773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262220849718806044.post-56936748546838644302015-05-14T15:26:59.991+01:002015-05-14T15:26:59.991+01:00Cheers for the compliment.

The first mech, I'm still pondering over WTF the weapon in the left hand should be, I was thinking either a grenade launcher or auto-mortar. What do you think?<br /><br />My idea is that it has a largish ammo bin to carry different types of rounds: smoke, HEAB, Willy Pete and perhaps napalm.

No ...Those would be rockets, direct fire munitions. No guidance other than the ballistics computers installed aboard Heavy Gears. Also, modular design for snap reloading during a break in combat. Remove one at the hinge, clamp another on. Hence the shoulder mount.<br /><br />As for Miss Ashley's work, it is rather well thought out. The other part - a vertical launch system - can be found on one Heavy Gear, the Chevalier, from the New Coalition.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00816980469395868071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262220849718806044.post-21540140271840989822015-05-14T13:24:11.048+01:002015-05-14T13:24:11.048+01:00The answer is it varies.

Part of it is down to handling considerations, and these pictures are, depending on your screen setting eight time up, each model is approximately 28mm tall.<br /><br />VLS is great on ship, but I'm not sure its been deployed on armoured cars and light fighting vehicles, which is wha these are. Though now you'vementioned the idea I will have to consider it for later use.
