Little Tank-Type Thing
So, here's my latest go at a minifig scale tank. I guess I could be more pretentious and sci-fi, and call it a MAV (modular assault vehicle), but I like the Li'l Tank better.
Relatively compact, with two small blaster-things and a single-use rocket. Note that the pilot is fully enclosed and "wired" into the cockpit module.
A shot of the back, showing the hard points for stuff, as well as a moving engine bit.
Lastly, a shot of the modular body of the li'l tank.
[RULES PENDING]
Wacha think?

i love modular vehicles! bigger guns could easily be placed onto the vehicle with different modular bits.
although, as i'm famous for shouting, this is not a tank. assault vehicle yes, but no treads or 360 degree turret, as well as a non-armored cockpit.

It could use work, but still a nice little vehikle.
And Hoseman, I can see a new title for you,

As per usual, I challenge all those who dispute my naming practices to bring it in the appropriate medium. In this instance, a game of Brikwars. =]IVhorseman wrote:i love modular vehicles! bigger guns could easily be placed onto the vehicle with different modular bits.

And yes, modular vehicles rock socks like no tomorrow.

Hey, you gotta new title out of it, though.
Anyways, I set about to build a medium-sized weapon... and went clear the hell overboard. This is what I ended up with:
I call it the Big Gun. I like it. It's gotta be around 3.5" long.
Big Gun Cost: 9 Use: 9 Range: 18" Damage: 3D6
EDIT: I had to make a bigger gun.
I call it the Bigger Gun. Probably only used for big mechs and stuff. About 5.5" long.
Bigger Gun Cost: 15 Use: 15 Range: 30" Damage: 5D6
Also, vehicle rules.
Modular Attack Vehicle (Or Li'l Tank)
This vehicle is the first of its kind: this is because the desire for modularity in fighting machines wasn't realized until the military engineers stumbled upon re-runs of The Centurions. The vehicle is little more than a weapons platform with four hard points for weapons, and a fifth hard point to plug in a piloting module. These modules are fully enclosed and contain a wired-in pilot.
Base Cost: 17 CP
Size: 3
Armor: 3D10
Speed: 8"
Modules:
+Pilot (includes pilot minifig)
+4 empty hardpoints
The armor on a pilot module is non-existant, so therefore it does not cost any points.
