This is the Dogfish Heavy fighter

It is designed with versatility in mind.

With heavy weaponry and armour no task is too great.

A pair of ion pulse engines supply ample propulsion although the heavy armour and weaponry makes the Dogfish slower than other ships of its class.

Manouvering thrusters at the wingtips allow for strafing of targets.

Showing of its belly and all the weaponry consisting of:
1 Antares medium autocannon for use against ground targets
2 repeating particle projectors for general usage
4 Multi lock ASM/AAM missiles
1 Electron bolter mounted on the rear for fending of pursuers.

The canopy opens for disembarking.

The cockpit contains an EW console for the co-pilot who also controls the electron bolter
The pilot flies the craft and controls all the other weaponry.
Thats all the finished creations your`e going to get! now for the WIPs
Stingray folding dropship/strikefighter

Its a dropship that transforms into a strike fighter!

Heres the cockpit area with a small gun/sensor thingy.

The cargo area which fits not one but two! Sumo minimechs.

Heres the bay without the Sumos.

Now for the transformation into a more compact strikefighter.

Click whirrr hiss...

*Mechanical noises*

And DONE! i will propably add some folding weaponry to it later, a missile rack perhaps?
Little fighter thingy

Yay tiny fighter!

Yay will propably be butchered for the bay doors in the Arsenal tank down below.

A small microscale ship!

With manouvering thrusters and a large letter on top.
Narwhal Arsenal tank

And here`s the main attraction! The Narwhal arsenal tank!

Lets start with the bridge shall we.

Nothing there except for a few seats but this is still a WIP so thats ok.

Nice view through the heavily armoured viewport, The lower part will be covered by controls.

Heres the area right behind the bridge.

It folds up to reveal either a wraith style mortar or a MLRS battery.

Area for Supplies and or VLS cells.

Engines for propulsion.

The front folds up aswell but it will propably be redone since Idont like how it looks like a snout from some angles.

I have no idea how that got there.

Cargo area for mecha and vehicles, taken from the torn apart barracuda since it was just collecting dust anyways these tanks (Tigershark and this one) are much more playable and not xboxhueg so theyre less likely to simply collect dust and nothing else.

The future captain of this tank looking at the lovecraftian flesh monstrosity studying him with some strange device.

He is clearly frozen in terror...

Thats all folks! Hope you enjoy! C&C appreciated

Holy crap that's badass. Like the 1st fighter and the tank the best. I thought the tank was a SHIP at first though.

The Dogfish looks cool, but the nose could be a lot sleeker. Maybe cannibalize the nose pieces from your light fighter and rebuild the nose section with that.

The stingray looks cool in dropship mode, but it doesn't hang together as well in fighter mode. Maybe if you deleted or moved some of the SNOT on the sides it would allow the folding wings to sit flush with the hull... but that would make it look worse in dropship mode, hmm. I'd also add a couple of SNOT stub wings carrying missiles to the wide section ... there's certainly an ample amount of space for them.

The Microship and Narwhal are both really neat, I can't wait to see them finished.

very cool my friend.

like the drop ship/fighter and the tank.

Thanks guys!

Thanks im going to add some guns folding into the sides of the dropship that will obscure the holes in the hull but I like your idea aswell.

Wow. Can't wait to see the STD. The dropship and fighter look good too.

I love your dropship! I always worry about putting a folding hatch or something on the back, but I'm glad to see it can still look awesome/be tactically effective without. AND it transforms? I agree it looks a little unfinished in fighter mode, but that's nothing more dakka can't fix.

Fredde's back!

Okay, so see all that empty space on the cargo hold's walls? put all kinds of guns there. When it unfolds, they transform from being on the inside walls, to being exterior guns with protective shells. Hell, you could even rig THOSE up onto some folding mechanism of sorts!

Now I see that as a SHIP, and then becomes a tank. And it is awesome.

He's right. That's not so much a tank as a spaceship that decided to provide close air support.

If you are going to redo the front of the Narwhal anyways, might I suggest turning it into a ramp?

That way, it could launch a small IFV before the troops come pouring out.

Also, I'm guessing you're going to put doors on the side cargo bays, but might I suggest a gunship-style machine gun in each?

That's actually a pretty good idea, it'd turn into a form of mobile base! In brikwars, it turns out that the best bases are the ones that can fly over and crash into the other bases.

These are all great, and I really love the dogfish!
