Heavy Gear

[zombie4prophet]

I am in the process of raising troops and so far I have the following:

Art Crime Productions - Nationalist Platoon and Anti-Mech
- Customized into 3-8 man sections and a 4 man Command Squad.

- Fire Support Valkyrie - either Heavy/Assault PA or Specialists
- Bulldog Jet Bikes

Corvus Belli - Infinity - PalBots - Powered Armored Squad

Critical Mass Games - Arc Fleet APC Platoon -Squad rides
- Arc Fleet Scout Vehicle - Common Squad Ride
- Arc Fleet Medium Grav Tank
- Arc Fleet Heavy Tank
- Arc Fleet Walker

What I am looking for is something in the Scout/Light Mech Category that fit the overall feel for this army.

I've toyed with XV-25 Stealth Suits(GW Tau), GW SM Terminators and I'm not sure either is a perfect fit. The arms on the XV-25's are a bit off, and the Termies while much closer don't really fit with the Valkyries.

This leads to my question about Heavy Gear, I think I will be purchasing some of the new NuCoal Cuirassier minis as I am looking for a mini b/w 32 -45 mm tall and will stat accordingly.

Does anybody have any suggestions for minis that fit well with the look of the other minis I have chosen to build my force? I realize the NuCoal have not been released yet, but I am open to suggestions.

What about the AT-43 Russian Power Armor suits. Don't recall the name but I was considering them myself.

While I'm relatively new, Mecha is something I'm good at.

Now I believe the ARC stuff featured backwards (or chicken walker) legs. Want to keep with that theme?

By the same guy that sculpted that new Imperator Mecha
It's for a similar scale but just a whee bit smaller so it fits the scout/light perfectly (BTW it's sitting on a 50mm base in that picture.

If you want other pictures just let me know here, or PM me.

Lord Nth,

Some nice mechs in those Photos, and it is a lovely sculpt. Alas i fear it is too large for my purpose. I am looking for something just a step up from ACP Valkyries, so 32 -40 mm. Preferably right around 35 mm.

That thing looks like it's 55-65 mm which is definitely Light -Medium which is just a tad too big, though it is cracking. Who sells them?

It's 45mm high. 38mm from 'shoulder to shoulder' or gun mount to gum mount. That should change. In the Master model washers were put in so the weapons wouldn't rub on the armored shoulders. And it's 54 mm from the back of it's little backwards knees to the tip of it's cockpit.
It's less than half the size of the assembled Imperator.

I will be selling them when they come back from the caster (any day now). At that time I'll show what other goodies I have about.
