Outriders by tim hill, on FlickrNew Faction
Long isolated in a small corner of the galaxy by powerful electromagnetic and gravity storms, the Outriders have finally escaped to cause chaos and seek battle against the wider Brikverse. Here a small squad advances upon a yet unaware position of Storm Troopers, the Troopers scout vehicle now nothing more than a burning wreck.
The typical Outrider troop carries a combo laser rifle/shotgun for both long range and close range combat. The part biological, part machine troopers however love nothing more than to get engaged in melee with their extra machine arms. One trooper however carries a powerful laser cannon for taking out armored vehicles. The commander of the squad, notable by his golden rifle attachment, powerful golden colored clawed arms, and laser sword, leading boldly from the front of the squad.
Off to the side a Spear class fighter advances alongside the force. Able to function both in the air and low to the ground in hover mode the Spear serves the dual purpose of fighter and light vehicle. Armed with a pair of laser guns, and paired laser blasters. On each side of the back wings the Spear mounts metal tipped claws attached to wires that can shoot out and latch onto large vehicles, allowing the Spear to suddenly change direction and run circles around the enemy vehicle.
