I'd planned on it being about 9cm-10cm tall depending on the pose.

I like the double-layered aspect of the updated carapace, and the removal of the pointy back from the earlier modifications is good. One particular point – I like the fact the shoulder weapons now sit flat. It's both more stable for construction and looks more realistic, somehow. The additional arm plate's an inspired idea – nice one wraeththu! It'll be a great place for freehand unit/tactical ident marks.


My choice, based mainly on aesthetics (plus missiles on top are a proper mecha trope)
Arms: Single Barrel Macro Laser and Siege Howitzer
Shoulders: 2 x Rocket launchers


Jimmyzimms' idea of quad-guns for the shoulders is a cool one.
I also like his idea of a close-in weapon like a fist, ball and chain, energy whip or chainsaw.

Would one or two alternative heads be a good way to differentiate them for people who buy multiples? Something with boxy curves and asymmetric multiple eyelenses would work with the aesthetic; and you could build a gun on one side or where the mouth.nose would go, too, in case people wanted a head with weaponry.


I agree with moredakka that it'd be nice for the head to have more space for the crew. This design looks a bit like the bridge of a battleship/spaceship, which might be a nice design cue?


On a personal note, I always loved Mongrol from the ABC warriors, and think a head that looked like this would be awesome

They look nice to me, though I agree with the calls for bigger jetpacks and ammunition feeds on their rifles. Perhaps boxy or straight magazines?

I hope you don't mind; but I fiddled around with the heads, dropping the ears down a bit and extending the cocks-comb crest: there seemed to be something a bit off about the proportions, but perhaps that's to help casting?


I wonder if the heads could be built up around the 'jaw' a bit? Something like a TIE fighter pilot:


... or a mediaveal knight:


While we're talking about it, I'd like to see a kneeling pose and some different guns – like a big machine gun instead (or as well as) the rocket launcher?

Ben a question, is the LS carapace a separate component because if so you could have a separatly available uparmoured siege variant kit sometime, just an idea

If that's what will make you happy, I guess you deserve it by now.

As for what weapons should the kit come with, that's a tricky one especially if we get up to a dozen plus options across the arms and shoulders. Also how difficult do you want to make picking orders for yourself.

Here's a question the Ordnance Conveyor comes with a sprue of four weapons, will you be looking to use the exact same sprue with the LS?

For so for example you could have a weapon spread like this:

Final LS thought, an option in CF3 to purchase in combat groups of say 3?

Prices, probably £30ish for the body, and £5ish per weapons pack.
