Goshawk mark III, pursuit tank and more! AN army update!
Posted: Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:57 pm
So after a long period of inactivity im back on the forum! And with me I bring an army update for my beloved faction.
First up is the Goshawk mark III
there are currently only two variants the standard one and the support variant but I plan to make at least 2 more. a transforming goshawk and a command variant.
These are the standard goshawk mark III`s they are just like most units in the AN jumpjet capable and endowed with sapient minds capable of extremely fast thought.
The standards and the support variant are both equipped with integrated weaponry in this case the weaponry in question is infinite repeaters integrated in the arms of the mechs and firing through its "palm".
As you can see the mark III is not much taller than the average minifig this was intentional in order to help with urban combat.
This was supposed to be animated but photoshop screwed up and this is the best frame of the animation
Here is a front and back view of the mark III.
Here is a snapshot from the invasion of baseplatia 2 with the mark III`s skimming along the path to a stronghold,notice the LAMP tank following closely behind them.
the support variant is armed with a pair of heavy AT missile launchers.
all three goshawks fit snugly in the rear hold of the Tigershark SHDT.
Just to prove the hatch closes and totally not to show of the top of the Tigershark
.
The goshawks can easily slide out of the hold with help of magnetized rails.
I like this photo i might try to make a poster of it.
a comparison between the Tigershark and the goshawks ( I will take more photos of the Tigershark when i figure out why my photos get so washed out.
yes those are crane arms with chainsaws on its end,yes they do fold out ,and yes they are intended for close combat.
Here is a WIP spec ops version which is smaller but still carries the same armor and weaponry.
Pursuit tank!
And that brings us to our secon point of this update.
The pursuit tank which is intended for pursuing vehicles harassing convoys and providing heavy support for infantry.
It was inspired quite a bit by the fallout sentry robot ,and yes all wheels do turn.
showing of its magnificent posture or weaponry which consists of two heavy infinite repeaters and two grenade lauchers.
Altough it has jumpjets they are mostly used to cushion the inevitable jump onto terrified enemies.
Oh shit oh shit oh shit
stop your vehicle! you have 0,5 seconds to comply!
Heres all the minemecha I have currently. 3 Goshawk mark II and 3 Goshawk mark III a strider riot walker and a pursuit tank(complete with ed-209 levels of trigger discipline)
Silver fish LICH
Here is a silver fish LICH (Light Infantry Carrying Vehicle)
Its a jeep basically armed with a light pulse laser and a few soldiers.
Danger commentary banks critical! danger! Will Robinson danger!
The guy with the flame decorated helmet carries a single use rocket launcher.
The AN isn't really big on pssenger safety as you can see.....
Heres the bumper perfect for smashing barricades and small woodland animals.
Thats all folks! comments and criticism is appreciated!
and don't worry I will take more photos and make a separate post for the Tigershark once my camera stops screwing around.[/i]
