Designed for flanking, this vehicle uses a combination of a lightweight frame and multiple anti-gravity thrusters to outrun and outmaneuver more heavily armed craft. Using a target computer linked to a smart glass windshield, the entire tank can be controlled and aimed by one pilot, allowing for precise targeting while on the move
Stats
Size-4
Move-14 in
Armor-2d10
Weapons- 2 twin lasers (size 1 guns)
1 heavy cannon (Size 2) (HEAT, flechette, and incendiary round available)
Coaxial shotgun (Size 2)
Special- Target Link: When two vehicles with this ability are within 10 inchs LOS (line of sight), they are able to share targeting data (+1 for to-hit rolls for any shots made by linked vehicles)
The design was inspired by the 40k series of Eldar grav tanks and my first SNOT build. Critique of stats/design would be appreciated

Great design! I'm loving all the tanks popping up lately.

Looking good! I really dig that main gun design. Looks like it could do with some explosives, but that's just me. Anyway, it seems good stats-wise, and build-wise the only issue I see is the older grey blocks in the left side. Can't wait for more!

Thanks, the slight discoloration may partly be due to lighting and that I wasn't paying too close attention to slight color differences.

I like it a lot as is, but I think some color would benefit it greatly. It feels a little... "untextured" (for a lack of a better word) in all grey.

I was planning on adding some striping to the wings. Light Grey happened to be one of the colors I just finished sorting my collection.

I was thinking it would benefit from some transparent pieces to represent the hover drives underneath

Sweet tank I like the turret a classic design but it complements the vehicle well! Also Hiremas you know we don't just give those scores arbitrarily those are for the Blarney Buildoff

There are actually 6 clear window pieces underneath. A lot nicer than messing around with tank tread wheels

Oh god. Don't get me started about tank treads.

I meant putting ornamental transparent elements, like
br, to make it look like there were engines

How about a couple of
GT powered thrusters?
