I've said it before, and I'll say it again...
You are the 2.5D master!
Looks great!
Can't wait to build it and add it to my Terra Force army!

Fantastic. Seeing it on that hex like that reminds me of playing Mechwarrior to death as a kid. He would totally overheat with that gear, but with the interchangeable parts it looks well worth it. Couple SRMs...some Machine guns...Oooo just like Christmas.
Hope the rules sets for these stand up to the quality of the figures. ;D

It looks kinda cute Not as menacing as the old-style Warhammer mech from the old FASA Battletech game (my favorite battlemech in that game). Nice mech (or mecha?) though - looking forward to see the 2 other mechs and more weapon variants. /Cobra

Very cool, I was waiting to see it built. Looks like you designed it well, to look good from every angle. JIM

The medium mecha is complete (except weapons) and I've finished the basics of the heavy mecha. Basically I rescaled the medium version, and then tweaked the details. I kept the size of bolts, screws, and other details the same because I figured there should be a standard size. I don't know if this same technique will work with the light mecha, but I'll try that next.

That guy looks HUGE... good call on the screws, it really ads to the sense of scale... Excellent work....

I can see myself getting back into mech-based wargaming just because of your designs--are there any plans on doing other vehicles (tanks, gunships, etc)?
|
|

Post by Dagger on May 11, 2009 14:46:36 GMT -9
The basic game will be Mechs only... I hope we can do Vehicles/Infantry in the first expansion, and perhaps close support/transport aircraft in the second expansion... that's the plan anyway.

Post by jabbro on May 11, 2009 14:47:09 GMT -9
Nice. Will the weapons be the same scale on the Heavy Mecha, but you just get more of them?
|
|
|
Post by Aestelon on May 11, 2009 14:54:58 GMT -9
Same max number of weapons, but yeah, you can mount bigger ones on heavy mechs.
|
|
|
Post by Dagger on May 11, 2009 14:56:11 GMT -9
Each Mech has 4 "hardpoints" for mounting equipment. Hardpoints come in three ratings - Light, Medium, Heavy. Mechs come in three classes - Light, Medium, Heavy. A Mech can only have hardpoints equal to or lower than their class rating... depending on how you want to build it. So, yes weapons will come in different sizes...
|

Post by jabbro on May 11, 2009 16:00:07 GMT -9
Sounds like a good system. I was thinking of maybe having twice the number of light weapons on a hardpoint since it is a heavy mech. At least that was how I used to build them in various PC games. Not very strategic, but fun.
Thanks for the explanation.

Hey WaffleM!
So if I wanted to make these guys in scale with Jim's figs in 15mm, what percentage should I increase them?

|
|
Post by Dagger on May 11, 2009 16:47:16 GMT -9
They should already be at 15mm... relative to a human size figure anyway... I think the Light will actually stand at about 30mm, twice the size of a 15mm human...

Post by onemonkeybeau on May 11, 2009 17:09:41 GMT -9
I had to increase the size 150% to achieve the 30mm height for the light mech.
Increasing the medium mech 150% gave me about a 50mm tall mech from feet to the top of the canopy.
